Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy is a holistic wellness practice that uses expert touch to relieve stress, reduce pain, improve circulation, and restore balance to the body and mind. More than just relaxation, massage therapy is a powerful tool for enhancing physical health, boosting mental clarity, and promoting long-term well-being. Massage therapy is a manual treatment involving soft tissue manipulation, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Whether you're an athlete, a busy professional, or simply someone seeking a healthier lifestyle, massage therapy offers a personalized, rejuvenating experience that supports your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.
Athletic Therapy
A Certified Athletic Therapist (AT) utilizes contemporary rehabilitative techniques, therapeutic modalities, physical reconditioning and supportive techniques to promote optimal performance and prepares the individual for safe reintegration into an active lifestyle. Athletic therapists adhere to the Sports Medicine Model of care using various manual therapies, modalities, exercise prescription and even bracing and taping. The treatment varies but the objective doesn’t: An Athletic Therapist’s goal is to help clients return to their usual activities, whether that means playing competitive sports, participating in leisure activities or walking to classes. *** Please note - Athletic Therapy is not covered by most insurance carriers.
