Therapeutic Massage

Our Signature Therapeutic Massage combines European and Swedish techniques to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. This full-body treatment addresses chronic stress points while boosting immune function through rhythmic stroking motions. Clients experience deep relaxation while maintaining muscle flexibility and joint mobility during sessions lasting 60-90 minutes.

Deep Tissue Massage

Targeting deeper muscle layers, this treatment uses sustained pressure to alleviate chronic knots and postural imbalances. Therapists employ friction therapy to break down adhesions in neck, shoulder, and back regions while improving range of motion. Recommended for persistent muscle spasms and sports-related tension through 60-120 minute sessions.

Prenatal Massage

Specially designed for second and third trimester clients, this treatment addresses pregnancy-related discomforts using side-lying positioning. Therapists focus on reducing leg cramps, back pain, and swelling through gentle lymphatic drainage techniques. Requires advance notice for specialized pregnancy table setup and medical clearance when needed.

Headache Relief Massage

This targeted treatment addresses migraine triggers and tension headaches through cranial-facial muscle manipulation. Therapists focus on neck, jaw, and scalp regions to relieve sinus pressure and TMJ discomfort. Combines myofascial release with acupressure points to reduce pain intensity and frequency during 60-minute sessions.

Manual Lymph Drainage

A gentle rhythmic technique stimulating lymphatic circulation to reduce swelling and enhance immune response. Therapists use precise hand movements to encourage fluid removal from tissues, particularly effective post-surgery or for chronic edema conditions. Sessions focus on specific treatment areas while maintaining overall systemic balance.

Had a Massage with Allysia last month and she was great especially with trigger points. Will definitely come back to her. Also had a Massage with Micheal this week and he also was awesome he worked on my upper back which was really tight. He is great with deep tissue.

As a massage therapist myself, I can definitely say that Eastside Massage has some very amazing and talented therapist! I've had a couple massages from here, specifically from Judy, Ana Maria and Dayana and they were phenomenal! It's always a pleasure to come back! COVID precautions are always taken as well as the employees that work front desk (Samantha, Anastasia, Elyssa) are very welcoming and knowledgeable. Beautiful and wonderful place!

I just left my second massage at Eastside with Allysia and holy wow I feel amazing. I've felt like a sack of jello after both sessions, in the best possible way. Not only does Allysia reach spots I never knew were sources of tension, but she also freely offers knowledge throughout the session to help me feel better in the interim between massages. She even took the time after my massage to show me stretches I can do daily to help with my problem areas.

She also made sure to check in with me verbally throughout the session to help locate the exact spots that needed more attention. The front desk staff is lovely, the facilities are clean and quiet and relaxing. My next session is booked and I'm never going back to suffering through my back pain again. I'm in love, thank you Allysia and Eastside!

I came in for a 1 hour massage. The front desk made the check in process very easy. My massage with Ashley was amazing. I felt leaving very relaxed and healed from all my aches and pains. The facility is really nice and spacious. I highly recommend East Side Massage Therapy this is by far the best place in town!

I've been seeing Addie for a few months now to ease my chronic neck pain. She is slowly working through years of tension and she has been so beneficial. Addie takes a very detailed approach to my specific pain (and knows more about neck anatomy than anyone else I've met), and has also given me a full body massage that was wonderful. I always feel comfortable with her and look forward to seeing her!

Had my first massage ever with Addie. She was so kind, informative and made sure I was comfortable. The whole experience was great and I felt incredibly safe, everyone was wearing their masks, the space appeared clean, and the receptionist was incredibly helpful as well. The waiting area and sanitation area was decorated so cute for Valentines day
