This slow, deep approach addresses the body's connective tissue, also known as fascia. Fascia is the structural tissue that runs throughout the body separating muscle from muscle, connecting muscle to bone and connecting bone to bone. Both the circulatory and nervous systems lie within the connective tissue, therefore this approach has widespread effects on health and wellness.
Neuromuscular therapy focuses on the interaction between the nervous system and the muscles. Often the body develops patterns in response to injury or simply repeated activities. Working very specifically the therapist addresses areas involved. The therapist works closely with the client to get specific feed-back and to work within the comfort level of the client.
The field of massage owes much of its current popularity and recognition as a health care option to the sports world. Massage and bodywork is an effective tool for the enhancement of performance, as well as the prevention and treatment of injuries. Our sports therapists have received training in the evaluation and treatment of soft-tissue injuries, which can be the results of sport activity or from work or daily activities.
The Trager Approach is an expression of the work of Dr. Milton Trager. He became interested in the connection between the physical body and the mind as a young man. An active gymnast and athlete, he was striving to get the best performance from his own body. What began as self-exploration of the interaction between the body and the mind, developed into an approach that could be used with others as well as oneself.

"Best Massage in the World!" is what my Sister-in-law said when I told her I was going to see Flo Capone at A Center For Therapeutic Massage. My expectations were high going in and Flo did not disappoint! I had the best massage I have ever had, and have had several since and I will continue going. Flo listened to what my issues are each time and did what was best for my particular issues. Today it was relaxation and releasing a knot in my lower back and working on my sinus headache! If I could give her 10 stars I would!

Flo is a fantastic Massage Therapist. In an area where there are so many LMT's to choose from, she separates herself with her quality and professionalism. She is more then simply a Massage Therapist, she also brings in a background of nursing that help her understand better the medical conditions people also have in order to provide the best massage care possible. I highly recommend Flo
