Certified practitioners use myofascial release and deep tissue work to treat chronic conditions, sports injuries, and postural imbalances. Sessions include personalized movement education to help clients maintain improvements through daily self-care routines.
Lymphatic Drainage
Specialized lymphatic drainage therapy enhances immune function and reduces swelling through gentle, rhythmic techniques. This service supports post-surgical recovery, particularly for plastic surgery patients, while addressing lymphedema and chronic inflammation. Our RN-supervised sessions follow medical protocols to ensure safe and effective lymphatic system stimulation.

Comprehensive chiropractic evaluations identify spinal misalignments and joint restrictions affecting nervous system function. Customized adjustment plans address back pain, neck pain, and headaches while improving overall mobility. Treatment integrates with therapeutic massage for enhanced musculoskeletal rehabilitation and pain management.

Was gifted a 90 minute prenatal massage with Stormy. She took her time to ensure I was comfortable. The entire massage was such a treat! And I learned a few things I can do at home to relieve some ongoing issues. Hoping to return soon.

I had my first 90 minute massage with Bridget last week. Unlike a regular massage, this one was more rehabilitative. Which is something I've really needed, but wasn't sure where or what to look for. I'm somebody that gets massages regularly, this massage was more effective than a traditional deep tissue for pain relief. She used a machine to break up the fascia and cupping. This worked wonders for me especially on my calves, which are typically always tight and massages normally don't help enough.
She also told me which rehabilitative exercises and stretching to practice at home. So unlike a traditional massage, you get more of a treatment plan. I definitely recommend this for anybody with chronic muscle pain like myself.

I received a gift certificate for a 90 min massage from my son. I was hesitant at first because 90 min is a long time for a massage. I was so wrong. Bridget spent more than 90 minutes with me and helped my knee and shoulders so much. She helped me relax and gave me movements to do at home to keep my mobility strong. She is so knowledgeable and dispelled my hesitancy about a 90 minute massage. I have booked another bodywork massage with her. Thank you, Bridget!

I was searching for a great massage experience and found this place online. They were very helpful over the phone and able to get me on the schedule the same day. My massage therapist, Dave, was fantastic! He's very skilled and intuitive on top of having a very nice and calming demeanor; all of which I appreciated. I will definitely be going back on a regular basis. My body felt better immediately the massage and even better in the days after.

I had surgery and came in for a lymphatic massage. Barbara did a great job making me comfortable and taking care of some spots that needed some help. She was extremely informative and I trusted her with her experience and background. I will definitely be back!

Really GOOD massage by Bridget! She is tiny but MIGHTY and knows how to get those knots out. I required some work on my neck and WOW, that was amazing and it was such a relief. I have been to her a couple of times and will continue to use her services again. Terrific Lady! Thank you very Much!
