The basic goals of massage therapy are to help the body heal itself and to improve your health and well-being. Therapeutic massage can reduce chronic pains in the major areas of complaint, like the neck, low back, shoulders, and hips. There are many benefits of massage. Massage helps reduce stress and rehabilitate injuries, helping you to recover more quickly from surgeries and repetitive use injuries. It also reduces headaches and muscle soreness. Massage promotes general health and enhances self-esteem. In addition, massage boosts the circulatory and immune systems to benefit blood pressure, circulation, improve sleep, muscle tone, posture, digestion and skin tone.

Much of the pain in muscle strains, ligament sprains and conditions such as tendonitis and osteoarthritis is caused by inflammation. Massage increases the circulation, helping to reduce inflammation and pain. While massage is not a substitute for good medical care, massage is a line of defense in developing and maintaining a healthier lifestyle. Everyone can benefit from massage therapy. Massage doesn’t just feel good!

Your safety and comfort are most important. Our staff will conduct a brief medical history to make certain there are no health concerns that may be contrary for a massage session. You will always be draped with sheets or towels during treatments, ensuring that your modesty is respected at all times.

All of our massages are custom tailored to each individual. Our goal is to provide you with healthful, relaxing and nurturing massage in a professional and safe setting. We put you first. Prior to each session, we speak with you and assess your specific needs. On any given day you may prefer a deeper or lighter technique. Please let us know how we may best meet your needs. All sessions are by appointment only.
