Mild soreness may occur depending on treatment intensity and your activity level. Our therapists adjust pressure based on your tolerance and provide aftercare instructions to minimize discomfort.
How long are treatment sessions?
Initial consultations typically last 60-90 minutes to assess your specific needs. Follow-up sessions range from 30-90 minutes based on treatment plan requirements and areas being addressed.
What conditions do you treat?
We specialize in back pain, neck pain, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, knee pain, scoliosis-related discomfort, and TMJ disorders using non-invasive therapeutic approaches.
Is massage safe with medical conditions?
Always consult your physician first if you have health concerns. Our therapists work within medical guidelines to provide safe, effective treatments while avoiding contraindicated techniques for specific conditions.
