What does a massage therapist do?

Massage therapists use a variety of hands-on techniques to assess and treat the soft tissues of the body. Massage Therapy helps to improve blood and lymph circulation as well as decrease pain and inflammation. Relaxation, stress reduction and increased range of motion are all wonderful effects of Massage Therapy.

How long is a massage therapy treatment?

We offer a variety of treatment times: 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Speaking with a Registered Massage Therapist will help determine the best treatment length for you.

Will a massage hurt?

There may be some discomfort due to injury of a muscle or inflammation. Some people may experience soreness up to 48 hours after treatment, but often feel a great decrease of pain and stiffness once the soreness has subsided.

Do you have to be in pain to receive a massage?
