Massage Therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissue (the muscles, connective tissue, ligaments, fascia, and joints) of the body through intelligent, hands-on touch. Massage therapy acts on the muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems to effectively decrease pain and stress, effectively detox the body, and increase general wellbeing. Massage therapy can improve circulation and lymphatic movement, increase muscle function, help to rehabilitate the body after injury or surgery, and increase the mind-body connection.
Direct billing available through most insurance plans that cover Registered Massage Therapy.
Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, and Reiki are vibrant systems of holistic mind/body/spirit wellness rooted in more than 5000 years of evidence-based science.
