A specific form of bodywork which requires advanced training in Anatomy, Physiology, Kinesiology and Palpation.  This treatment is helpful for chronic pain and improving function of the musculoskeletal system. This works from the top more superficial layers of fascial tissue, then slowly going deeper into the tighter connections of neuromuscular holding patterns.

Techniques such as deep tissue work, stretching, and muscle-specific release help reduce soreness, improve flexibility, enhance circulation, and lower injury risk. It’s ideal both before activity—to improve performance and range of motion—and after workouts or events to speed recovery and decrease inflammation. Every session is customized to your sport, training load, and goals, so you leave feeling looser, stronger, and ready for what’s next.

In the postpartum period, massage focuses on relieving neck, shoulder, and upper back tension from feeding and carrying, supporting core and pelvic recovery, and lowering stress levels during an often overwhelming season. Every session is tailored for comfort, safety, and relaxation, helping mothers feel restored, balanced, and cared for.

The therapist will use a movement along with the suction created by fire lit inside special cups, creating a vacuum. In these sessions, the cups are applied and moved across different muscle groups to create a “cupping massage.” Cupping can help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, lymphatic stimulation, relaxation, and well-being.
