Services
Deep Tissue Massage
Our deep tissue massage targets chronic muscle tension using focused pressure with knuckles, forearms, and elbows. This technique improves mobility and alleviates pain from injuries or repetitive strain. Clients experience reduced inflammation and improved circulation through our gradual pressure application method.
Sports Massage
Designed for active individuals, our sports massage enhances athletic performance and accelerates recovery. We employ specialized techniques to prevent injuries and treat sports-related musculoskeletal conditions. This service benefits both professional athletes and recreational exercisers seeking improved flexibility and range of motion.
Trigger Point Therapy
This targeted treatment addresses specific muscle knots causing referred pain. Our certified therapists use precise pressure to release tension points that contribute to headaches, joint pain, and restricted movement. Sessions often include stretching techniques to enhance treatment effectiveness.
Swedish Massage
Our Swedish massage promotes overall relaxation through long, flowing strokes and gentle kneading. This foundational technique improves circulation while reducing stress and muscle tension. Ideal for first-time clients or those seeking regular maintenance sessions.
Pre-Natal Massage
Specially adapted for expectant mothers, this service addresses pregnancy-related discomforts. Our therapists use safe positioning and modified techniques to alleviate back pain, swelling, and stress. Sessions promote better sleep and emotional well-being during all trimesters.

Questions
What should I wear during my massage session?
Clients choose their comfort level - fully clothed, in undergarments, or completely disrobed. You'll be properly draped with sheets for privacy throughout the session.
Can I communicate during the massage?
Yes, clients may speak at any time about pressure preferences or ask questions. Some prefer silence while others enjoy conversation - both approaches are welcome.
What types of lotions are used?
We use hypoallergenic creams, oils, or lotions that minimize skin friction. Please inform us of any allergies before your session begins.
Are gratuities included in pricing?
Gratuities aren't included but are appreciated. The standard 20% tip helps recognize our therapists' professional services.
What post-massage effects should I expect?
Common responses include relaxation, increased energy, or temporary soreness. Drink plenty of water and allow recovery time, especially after deep tissue work.
What's your cancellation policy?
We require 24-hour notice for cancellations. Less than 24 hours notice results in 50% service charge to maintain scheduling integrity for all clients.
