Had a recent surgery or looking to prepare for one? It is important to prep the tissues for surgery as the body will go into "protection mode" afterwards, potentially muscle guarding around the joint that was replaced or an incision made. We want to keep fascial lines (connective tissue) open and free, with as much range of motion throughout the body as possible when going into surgery. After the proper time has passed, we can start to break up scar tissue formation and help prevent compensations from forming as the body heals. If your body is currently dealing with muscle guarding from pain that have created postural deviations as a result, we can help get you in better form now to go through a quicker, less painful recovery. We've helped clients prep and recover from knee, hip, back, foot and shoulder surgeries. Bicep tendon reattachments, rotator cuff surgery, lymph node removals and more.

Pressure during massage that reaches the deeper tissues. This is done slowly and with intention. Never with the intention to inflict pain. Pain is not a good indicator for an effective treatment. Instead, we increase pressure layer by layer with the intent to illicit a remodeling effect of fibrous fascial tissue and recalibrating the nervous system.

Perfect for those who spend long hours sitting or leading an active life. We work to achieve a healthier, more balanced posture for enhanced mobility and well-being. We've even had amazing success with our older clients in their 70's & 80's gain freedom in their body's again. Our treatments include a 15 minute pre-assessment that takes account of your postural alignment and thus the techniques administered during the treatment will aid in unlocking years worth of repetitive movements trained into the body either through inactivity or an active lifestyle. Either situation will train your nervous system to stay in those positions over time. In order to stay up right and facing forward, the body will compensate in other areas, further locking itself into place, fighting back against the original "stressor". Every session will work to unlock each of these contractures and recommended movements to strengthen the body into the newly found range of motion it now possesses, resulting in a more stable, pain free YOU!
