More Than Just a Luxury: The Power of Touch
Have you ever found that a simple hug or a little touch makes you feel much better right away? Massage therapy uses touch—a basic human need—to advance both physical and psychological wellness. To relieve tension, increase circulation, and encourage healing, our talented massage therapists use a range of methods to gently move the soft tissues of your body—muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.

Massage Therapy FAQs
1. What should I wear to a massage therapy appointment?
Comfort is key! Choose loose-fitting clothing that allows easy movement, like yoga pants and a T-shirt. You'll undress to your comfort level in a private setting, and we provide sheets and blankets for draping to ensure your privacy throughout the session. Don't worry too much about what you wear underneath—the most important thing is feeling comfortable and relaxed.
2. How often should I get a massage?
Think of massage therapy like any other wellness practice – the frequency depends on your needs and goals. Some people find that a monthly massage is perfect for maintaining well-being and stress management. In contrast, others benefit from weekly or bi-weekly sessions to address chronic pain or injuries. Our therapists can help you create a personalized plan for your lifestyle and budget.
3. Is massage therapy safe for everyone?
While massage therapy is an excellent tool for improving well-being, we want to ensure it's your right choice. If you have any health concerns, such as recent surgeries, osteoporosis, or deep vein thrombosis, it's always a good idea to chat with your doctor before booking a massage. Certain conditions might require adjustments or special care during your session. To ensure your massage is safe and effective, please inform your therapist of any health issues. Your comfort and well-being are our top priorities.
