Consultations are free. If you have a medical diagnosis, please bring that information.

We take a detailed medical history and do hands-on testing to assess your issues. We will then discuss whether we believe medical massage can help and schedule a course of treatment if appropriate. Massage can be added to the consultation visit if desired.

We will work with your doctor(s) as needed to get approval prior to working with you. Sessions are scheduled at least weekly, and often twice per week, in order to build on the therapeutic effect. The course of treatment can be short (2-3 sessions) or longer if your condition is complex. The therapist will commit to the schedule, and the client is expected to do so as well.

The massage itself is almost always conducted at or below your pain threshold which is determined by you. Medical massage is generally not painful. You will also be given stretches or other homework to do between sessions.

We keep detailed notes and will re-evaluate our progress regularly. Once your symptoms have improved and do not return, relaxation or therapeutic massage can help maintain your health.
