Recommended Add-On: Air Compression Therapy - Prepare your body for deeper healing

What Is Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)?
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a highly specialized form of manual therapy. It focuses on identifying and treating the root causes of soft tissue pain. These include nerve compression, trigger points, postural distortion, and overuse. Unlike general massage, NMT is based on clinical assessment and strategy. Each session is designed around your unique physical history and goals. The work is precise, slow, and deeply intentional, not just surface-level relief. Techniques include myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and muscle stripping. I also use orthopedic testing, palpation, and postural analysis. This helps locate dysfunctions and correct patterns that cause long-term pain. NMT is especially effective for chronic and injury-related conditions. Common issues treated include sciatica, migraines, TMJ, and low back pain. It's also supportive for fibromyalgia, MS, postural strain, and repetitive injuries. The work often feels intense but relieving your body is being re-educated. NMT sessions build on each other to unwind compensation and imbalance. Clients typically begin with a 6–12 session treatment plan. You may also be given home care tools or movement suggestions. The goal is functional, pain-free movement not temporary relief. Neuromuscular Therapy restores balance to both muscles and the nervous system. It’s bodywork with purpose, intention, and long-term results.

This session is designed to treat chronic pain and postural dysfunction using targeted deep work on muscular trigger points and soft tissue imbalances. Excellent for:
✔️ Fibromyalgia
✔️ Tension headaches & migraines
✔️ Neck & shoulder dysfunction
✔️ Sciatica, low back, hip & knee pain
✔️ Chronic pain syndromes
✔️ Nerve entrapments, carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis

Highly recommended for people who need a focused, clinical-style massage aimed at healing, not just relaxing.

Air Compression Therapy

20 minutes: $30
30 minutes: $55
45 minutes: $70

Air compression therapy uses rhythmic pressure to stimulate circulation, boost lymphatic flow, and relieve tension and soreness in the legs. The boots gently pulse from your feet upward, encouraging natural detox, reducing inflammation, and energizing tired muscles.

This is not just a luxury it’s a clinical tool used to enhance the effects of massage and speed up healing.

Feel lighter, move freer before or after your massage.

Over 65% of the human body is fluid, and when circulation slows, tension, fatigue, and soreness follow. Our dynamic air compression system uses a rhythmic, pulsing sequence to help move stagnant fluid from the limbs toward the center of your body, leaving your legs feeling lighter, clearer, and more energized.

This treatment supports:

Who Can Benefit?

✔️ Athletes & active individuals
✔️ Clients recovering from injury or surgery
✔️ People experiencing heavy legs, swelling, or water retention
✔️ Those with sedentary lifestyles or poor circulation

For best results, we highly recommend a 20-minute air compression session before your 100-minute PNF Therapy.
This gentle, rhythmic compression improves circulation, promotes lymphatic drainage, and softens tight tissue  making your session more effective and more comfortable.

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a specialized technique within neuromuscular therapy that focuses on the re-education of muscles and neural pathways to improve flexibility, strength, and range of motion. By combining targeted stretching with muscle contractions, PNF enhances communication between muscles and neurons, promoting efficient movement and joint stability.

At our clinic, trained therapists provide personalized PNF sessions designed to optimize neuromuscular function, aid injury recovery, and enhance physical performance. This approach retrains the muscles and nervous system to work together smoothly, helping clients regain strength, coordination, and confidence in their movement.

Myofascial Release Therapy

100 minutes: $160
120 minutes: $185

Recommended Add-On: Air Compression Therapy - Prepare your body for deeper healing

For best results, we highly recommend a 20-minute air compression session before your 100-minute Myofascial Release Therapy treatment.
This gentle, rhythmic compression improves circulation, promotes lymphatic drainage, and softens tight tissue  making your session more effective and more comfortable.

What Is Myofascial Release Therapy?

Myofascial Release Therapy is a gentle, hands-on manual therapy technique used to treat restrictions in the fascia, the thin connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, nerves, and organs throughout the body.What Is Fascia?

Fascia is a three-dimensional web of connective tissue that holds everything in the body together. When fascia becomes tight, stuck, or dehydrated due to trauma, surgery, stress, poor posture, or inflammation it can restrict movement and cause pain, dysfunction, and reduced circulation.

Myofascial release (MFR) involves gentle, sustained pressure into the fascial system to eliminate restrictions and restore mobility. It’s not about deep pressure; it’s about patience and connection with the tissue.

Key Techniques:

Slow, sustained pressure held for 90–120 seconds or more
No lotion (to avoid sliding over the tissue)
Listening to tissue resistance
Often integrated with breathwork or movement

How It Works:

Helps release fascial restrictions
Improves blood and lymph flow
Reduces pain and inflammation
Restores muscle function and alignment
Supports the nervous system by calming the fight-or-flight response

Conditions Myofascial Release Can Help:

✔️ Fibromyalgia
✔️ Chronic fatigue syndrome
✔️ TMJ dysfunction (jaw pain)
✔️ Migraines and tension headaches
✔️ Whiplash
✔️ Frozen shoulder
✔️ Sciatica and low back pain
✔️ Plantar fasciitis
✔️ Scoliosis
✔️ Post-surgical scarring
✔️ Pelvic or menstrual pain
