Half n Half
This integrated session is a great option for combining therapeutic bodywork and corrective exercise. Your customized session will be half massage and half personal training. Massage therapy is applied to relieve muscular tension and pain , while corrective exercises are incorporated to rebalance and strengthen the body. Overall, this synergistic session helps to reinforce effective, efficient movement patterns so that your body can function with less pain and greater mobility.
Scar Therapy
Scar tissue, both old and new, can often contribute to pain and tissue restrictions. Scar therapy can be helpful in remodeling scar tissue during and after your recovery . Your scar therapy session can include manual techniques along with microcurrent point stimulation (MPS), cupping, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (aka blading) or vibration therapy to reduce restrictions, improve mobility and decrease pain and sensitivities. This treatment can serve to: speed up the healing process of the scar, decrease pain and sensitivity in the connective tissue, and help to relax and fade scar tissue.

Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy (RLT) can be added to your massage session at no extra cost or used as a stand alone session.
RLT is a noninvasive treatment that exposes the body to low levels of red and near-infrared light. The light penetrates the skin and is thought to stimulate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary form of cellular energy production, in cell structures called mitochondria. This energy production encourages healing of the tissue.
Our RLT mat provides direct full body contact with the skin so there is less diffusion of the light. Less diffusion = increased light absorption which can enhance the therapy's effectiveness.
Benefits of RLT may include:
- reducing muscular and joint pain and inflammation
- improving recovery after exercise
- stimulation of collagen production
- improved skin health
- improved sleep
Precautions and Contraindications of RLT include:
- Pregnancy: Avoid use during pregnancy due to potential effects on fetal development.
- Photosensitivity: Individuals with conditions that increase sensitivity to light should refrain from use.
- Skin Cancer or Active Cancer Sites: Those with a history of cancer should consult a doctor before using red light therapy.
- Recent Surgery: Avoid therapy on areas that have recently undergone surgical procedures.
- Epilepsy: Individuals with epilepsy may experience seizures triggered by light exposure.
- Certain Medications: Some medications can increase sensitivity to light; consult a healthcare provider if unsure
- Active Infections
- Thyroid Issues
