Services
Swedish Massage
This foundational technique uses long strokes and kneading movements to promote relaxation and improve circulation. Ideal for stress relief and general wellness, it addresses muscle tension through varying pressure levels. Our therapists customize each session to individual comfort preferences while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness.
Deep Tissue Massage
Targeting deeper muscle layers, this technique addresses chronic pain and injury rehabilitation. Therapists use focused pressure to release muscle knots and improve mobility. Scientifically proven to reduce inflammation and enhance recovery, it's particularly effective for posture-related discomfort and sports injuries.
Lymphatic Drainage
Specialized rhythmic movements stimulate lymph fluid circulation to enhance immune function and reduce swelling. Particularly beneficial post-surgery or for chronic edema conditions, this gentle technique requires precise training to optimize lymphatic system efficiency while maintaining client comfort.
Trigger Point Therapy
Concentrated pressure on specific muscle points alleviates referred pain patterns. This evidence-based approach breaks cycles of chronic muscle tension and headaches. Therapists combine ischemic compression with stretching techniques to restore normal muscle function and prevent pain recurrence.
Pregnancy Massage
Customized treatments address pregnancy-related discomforts using safe positioning and pressure techniques. Focus areas include lower back pain, swollen extremities, and circulation improvement. Sessions promote relaxation while addressing physiological changes through specialized prenatal massage protocols.

I started going to Myotherapy about a month ago and I love it. Darla is so kind and fingers have the magic touch. My second time back I saw Mark. Mark really relieved my pain spots and bed side manner was superb. Looking forward to my next visit. I would recommend to anyone and if you had cosmetic surgery, this team will get you back to comfort lane. Such a professional but yet down to earth environment!

Alexandria myotherapy is amazing. If you are looking for skilled bodywork for your aches and pains, then This is your place. All of the staff are extremely talented and passionate about what they do. Leanne is genuine, hardworking, and really knows her stuff. I've had a few recent orthopedic injuries and surgeries, Leanne took the time to review my medical history, ask appropriate questions, and create a treatment plan. Finding her and this place has been life changing! Plus you can schedule appointments online! Just do it!

Had my first session here with Leane and was very impressed. Def plan to make this a regular thing. My only suggestion is to leave 5-10 mins extra your first time to get there because its not entirely logical how to get into the building.

I have had a Rolfing series as well as several "touch up" sessions with Allison and she's amazing. She's extremely knowledgeable and has helped me overcome severe ongoing pains from various trauma to my body. I highly recommend her to everyone I know!
