Massage therapy uses a variety of techniques to manipulate your joints and soft tissue to improve your body’s overall health. Massage increases the body’s supply of oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, which help release waste from the muscle tissue. Massage also accelerates your body’s own natural ability to heal itself.
What is Massage Therapy?
Massage is a wonderful way to help your body feel its best! By gently working on both the surface and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, different techniques can enhance your overall function, support healing, and promote relaxation. If you’re dealing with pain, therapeutic massage can be especially helpful in bringing you comfort and relief. Enjoy the benefits of a little self-care!

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s normal to feel a bit sore after a massage! This happens because of a release of lactic acid in your muscles, but don’t worry—it usually doesn’t last long. You might feel some discomfort during your massage, depending on the specific areas we’re focusing on or if you have any pre-existing pains. If the pressure feels a bit too strong, just let your therapist know! They’re there to help you, and you can always ask for a lighter touch at any time. Enjoy your relaxation!
Massage therapy is a fantastic natural way to relieve pain and can also help you stay ahead of discomfort. Regular visits to your massage therapist can make a big difference! Depending on what you need, they may use various techniques or styles, like Swedish Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Deep Tissue Therapy, or even Stone Therapy. It’s all about finding what works best for you!
A skilled massage therapist will regularly check in to ensure that the pressure is comfortable for you. It is important to understand that effective massage does not need to be painful, as many techniques are gentle. Please communicate your preferences regarding pressure; your feedback is valued and appreciated.
Some people like to chat during their massage but don’t worry if you’d rather keep it quiet and just chill. If you want to close your eyes and relax, that’s fine. Just make sure to speak up if you’re feeling too hot or cold, if something hurts, or if you have questions or forgot to mention something important during the consultation.
No! Our therapists will only ask you to take off as much clothing as you’re cool with. If you’re comfortable just keeping your underwear on, that’s fine. The therapist will step out while you get ready, and they’ll provide towels and blankets so you can cover up during the massage. Plus, there are some massage options where you can stay fully clothed, so just let us know what you’re looking for before you book.
