Relax and Get Relief
For some, massage may seem like an indulgence, but in reality massage is undoubtedly one of the most versatile and beneficial treatments for your health and wellbeing.
Most patients know that body massage and the use of reflexology (applying targeted pressure to the feet or hands) can reduce stress and increase relaxation, but it also improves circulation, lowers heart rate and blood pressure, bolsters immune function, and more!

How it works
Your highly trained massage therapist uses a variation of gentle to intense pressure to loosen and relax muscles. Massage reduces tension in the neck, shoulders, upper back, lower back, and other areas of the body. This allows muscles to "release" nerves, reducing nerve pain.
Treatment time
Options of 60-minute, or 90-minute massages are available, you can also combine massage and acupuncture.

Stress Reduction
Massage lowers the heart rate and prompts the release of endorphins. The process puts your body in a natural state of ease and relaxation.

Pain Relief
Massage is incredibly effective at short-term relief and long-term pain management.
