What Our Clients Say
B.B.
“Very caring and committed therapists. They don’t just give you exercises. They massage muscles and get out the knots!”
Los Altos, CA
M.A.
"Friendly and helpful attitude of front staff, even in the pandemic when safety protocols must be followed. Time 1:1 with therapist and it’s nice to receive therapeutic massage (although, honestly, the Graston…) and be able to ask questions about the healing and any practical stuff (like, “Should I wear shoes when I’m doing PT?” “Am I ready for a yoga class?”). Materials in the treatment room and the gym that are helpful to my rehabilitation and sometimes, dare I say it, fun to use. I feel a good sense of work out without feeling exhausted."
Los Altos, CA
Regular monthly massage therapy provides therapeutic relief to people of all ages and all walks of life, from the competitive athlete to the home gardener to the over-stressed businessperson.
Here's why: Massage therapy offers a drug-free, noninvasive, and humanistic approach to wellness based on the body's natural ability to heal itself. Sessions are 50-80 minutes and include a mix of different therapies, including cupping, Graston, stretching, and or manual massage.
While finding a reason to treat yourself to a muscle release session may be easy, finding the time to do so may be more challenging. Taking time to take care of your health is frequently difficult to prioritize — keep in mind that one-to-two hours of muscle release can possibly make everything you do less stressful and less painful, allowing you to be more productive with the rest of your day!
Explore The Massage Techniques We Use!
Myofascial Release is a type of myofascial therapy that applies gentle, sustained pressure to release tension and restrictions within the fascia (connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs). This helps to address adhesions, scar tissue, and other restrictions within the fascia.
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach to healing that focuses on the craniosacral system, which includes the bones, tissues, and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Practitioners use subtle manual techniques to release restrictions and promote the body's natural ability to heal and self-regulate.
Acupressure is a traditional healing technique that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body, called acupoints, to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. This technique is based on the same principles as acupuncture, which is the flow of life energy through "meridians" in the body. However, unlike acupuncture, acupressure uses finger pressure instead of needles to promote balance and wellness
