Medical Massage
Medical Massage targets diagnosed conditions through customized treatment plans. Combining neuromuscular therapy, postural analysis, and trigger point release, this approach accelerates healing for injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical recovery. Sessions focus on specific areas related to medical diagnoses, enhancing the body's natural healing processes while reducing recovery time through evidence-based techniques.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy gently manipulates the central nervous system membranes to alleviate conditions like chronic fatigue, TMJ, and fibromyalgia. By improving cerebrospinal fluid flow, this technique reduces pain patterns while enhancing neurological function. Practitioners use subtle touch to release restrictions in the craniosacral system, promoting deep relaxation and systemic healing for clients with complex chronic conditions.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular Therapy addresses chronic pain through targeted soft tissue manipulation. This technique identifies and releases trigger points causing musculoskeletal imbalances, using postural analysis to address root causes. Sessions incorporate myofascial release and ischemic compression to restore muscular balance, alleviate nerve compression, and improve functional movement patterns for long-term pain management and postural correction.
Therapeutic Movement
Therapeutic Movement integrates Feldenkrais principles to correct postural imbalances and movement patterns. Through guided neuromuscular re-education, clients learn to rewire neural pathways that contribute to chronic pain. This approach addresses conditions like frozen shoulder and repetitive strain injuries by improving body awareness, enhancing coordination, and restoring natural movement patterns for improved functional capacity.
Energy Dynamics
Energy Dynamics addresses emotional and mental holding patterns through subtle bodywork techniques. This modality balances the body's energy systems while addressing mind-body connections to physical symptoms. Practitioners use gentle touch and awareness techniques to release emotional blockages, improve energy flow, and promote holistic healing that complements physical therapy interventions for comprehensive wellness outcomes.

Questions
What types of conditions do you treat?
We specialize in chronic pain conditions including fibromyalgia, sciatica, TMJ, and postural imbalances. Our therapies also address recovery from injuries, surgeries, and neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis.
How does medical massage differ from regular massage?
Medical Massage focuses on specific diagnosed conditions with targeted treatment plans. Unlike general relaxation massage, it uses techniques like neuromuscular therapy and postural analysis to address root causes of pain and dysfunction.
What should I expect during my first session?
Your initial session includes postural assessment, medical history review, and customized treatment. We'll develop a plan addressing your specific needs using techniques like trigger point therapy, craniosacral work, and therapeutic movement.
Do you accept insurance or offer payment plans?
While we don't bill insurance directly, we provide documentation for potential reimbursement. We offer flexible payment options and have worked with clients to create affordable treatment schedules for ongoing care.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary by condition. Chronic pain clients typically see improvements in 6-12 sessions, while post-injury recovery may require fewer visits. We'll discuss your estimated treatment timeline during the initial assessment.
