YOUR EXPERIENCE

What to Expect

Your therapist will begin with a brief consultation to understand your symptoms, medical history, and areas of concern. This ensures the session is tailored specifically to your needs — not a one-size-fits-all routine.

The session focuses on slow, intentional work to release tension in the head, neck, and upper shoulders. Pressure is always customized, and your therapist encourages open communication throughout.

Many clients notice immediate relief and a sense of lightness after their first session. Results deepen with regular visits, particularly for chronic conditions.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this help with my tension headaches?

Many clients experience significant relief from tension-related headaches, often after a single session. Trigger point work in the suboccipital and upper neck muscles is particularly effective for headache patterns.

How firm is the pressure?

Pressure is fully customized — from gentle and calming to firm and deep — based on your preferences and tissue tolerance. You can adjust at any point during the session.

Can this help with posture and tech-neck?

Yes. Releasing chronically shortened neck and upper-back muscles is a key step in improving forward head posture. Your therapist may also offer simple at-home stretching recommendations.

Is this safe if I have a medical condition?

Please consult your physician if you have a recent injury, surgery, or diagnosed condition. Your therapist will review your intake form before the session begins.

How is medical massage different from a regular massage?

Medical massage uses clinically-informed techniques — such as trigger point release and myofascial work — targeting specific dysfunctions rather than providing a general relaxation routine.

What should I wear or bring?

Wear comfortable, loose clothing. No special preparation is needed. You will complete a brief intake form before your first visit to help personalize your session.

How many sessions will I need?

Acute tension often improves after 1–2 sessions. Chronic conditions typically benefit from a series of 4–6 sessions scheduled 1–2 weeks apart.

Do I need a doctor’s referral?

No referral is required to book. If your care is being coordinated with a healthcare provider, we are happy to work within those recommendations.

NOTE: We are not HIPPA compliant and we do NOT coordinate your healthcare with your medical doctor or practitioner. We also do NOT accept any insurance or do any billing to your Insurance.
