Services
Sports Massage
Sports massage enhances athletic performance and recovery through targeted techniques. It addresses muscle tension, improves circulation, and prevents injuries. Ideal for athletes and active individuals seeking to maintain peak physical condition.
Facilitated Stretching
Facilitated stretching uses proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation to increase flexibility and muscle efficiency. This method combines stretching and contraction to improve range of motion, reduce injury risk, and enhance athletic performance.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Soft tissue therapy treats injuries to muscles, tendons, and ligaments using manual techniques. It accelerates healing, reduces pain, and restores function for conditions like tendinitis, sprains, and chronic pain.
Kinesiotaping
Kinesiotaping supports muscles and joints without restricting movement. It aids in pain relief, reduces inflammation, and stabilizes injuries using elastic tape that mimics skin elasticity.
Continuing Education Workshops
Workshops provide advanced training in sports massage, stretching, and injury care. Designed for professionals, these seminars offer hands-on instruction and NCBTMB-approved continuing education credits.

Great massage therapist with a very convenient location. Prices were fair, and he gave me a follow-up call the next day to see how I was feeling.
