Whether you are expecting a baby, trying to relieve back pain or just want to be healthier, call us today for a relaxing massage appointment. Our registered therapists are waiting for you.
We offer thirty or sixty minute appointments with one of our registered massage therapists, which must be booked in advance. You will receive your massage on a massage table. We can incorporate essential oils if desired, and can advise you on the best essential oils for your situation. For example, you might choose eucalyptus oil for pain relief or juniper berry for skin problems. *Note that some essential oils may be contraindicated if you are pregnant.
Massages may or may not be covered by insurance, and it is best to check with your insurance company for details about your specific coverage. We recommend a once or twice monthly schedule to enhance chiropractic work and help lymphatic drainage.

We offer specific massage therapy for pregnant women. Prenatal massage can make labor shorter and easier and shorten your hospital stay. Massage therapy during pregnancy can also reduce symptoms such as anxiety and back pain. Our therapists are properly trained to handle prenatal massage. We avoid the feet and low back during the first trimester and follow good practices such as positioning the patient on her left side as much as possible during the second and third trimester to keep pressure off the vena cava. Although massage therapy is contraindicated during high risk pregnancies, it helps most pregnant women.
Fitness and sports massage helps athletes – at any level – succeed. Our sports massage therapists will work with you to focus on muscles relevant to your specific sport or event, whether you plan on running a marathon, winning a body builder contest, skiing, or just going on an active outdoor vacation. Properly planned sports massage can enhance endurance and lessen injury risk, as well as shortening recovery times. And, of course, if you are unfortunate enough to injure yourself, sports massage can be a useful part of your rehabilitation.
Sports massage can only help to a degree with pain caused by incorrect form, however. We often recommend corrective exercises designed for you and your sport to help make sure your pain or stiffness does not come back and reduce the risk of repeat injury.
