Massage Therapy Services
Personalized massage therapy tailored to your needs
At Bodyworks Massage Therapy, we understand that each individual has unique wellness goals. Our therapeutic services are designed to address a variety of needs, from chronic pain relief to stress reduction and sports recovery. Explore our offerings below to find how we can help you move better, perform better, feel better.
Therapeutic Massage
Your first session will begin with a detailed consultation before the actual treatment.
Subsequent sessions will have a short consultation prior to the massage to ensure the treatment plan is still appropriate to give the results you're looking for.
Your massage session will always be tailored to your body's actual needs and agreed to by you. Unless you specifically want full body relaxation massage, your massage may include various techniques, including those commonly referred to as deep tissue massage, sports massage, neuromuscular therapy, or myofascial release. We also have therapists trained in pregnancy massage and oncology massage.
Your session may also include recommendations for home-care such as stretching or strengthening, and ideas for making small adjustments to your work or home environment to help you feel better over the longer term. You may also receive information to help you understand better what might be going on in your body to create the discomfort or injury. This information will be based on the best evidence we have available to us.
Remember, while massage therapy can leave you feeling great, it's only an hour and we can't work miracles - as much as clients wish we could.
Thermal Stone Massage
Thermal stone, or hot stone, massage uses the power of heat to literally melt your muscles.
Smooth stones are heated and held by the therapist to perform the massage. They work by either by gliding over the skin, or by using deeper pressure to engage the muscle tissue, or by being placed on your body.
It's fantastic to relieve tension in your muscle from stress or overwork, to help you during post-event recovery or to provide you the chance to have full body relaxation - because you deserve it!
