Deep Tissue Massage, 60 to 90 Minutes
Our sessions run 60 to 90 minutes, which gives your therapist time to work on the areas that need it most instead of rushing. Deep tissue work targets the stubborn knots and tight bands of muscle that can limit how you move and how well you rest.
Massage and Chiropractic Together
Muscles and joints work as a team. When muscles stay tight, they can pull joints out of their best position. When joints don't move well, the muscles around them guard and tighten. Many patients find that massage before or after a chiropractic adjustment makes care more comfortable and helps them stay active with home exercises. We'll suggest a combination that fits your goals and schedule.
What to Expect
Your therapist will ask about your symptoms, health history, and comfort level, then focus on the areas that need it most. You control the pressure throughout the session. Speak up any time and your therapist will adjust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is therapeutic massage the same as a spa massage?
Therapeutic massage focuses on specific problem areas and your goals, not just general relaxation, though many people find it relaxing too.
How long is a massage session?
Our massage sessions run 60 to 90 minutes. Call the office to choose the length that fits your needs.
How often should I get a massage for pain?
It varies. Some people come weekly during a flare-up and then less often. We'll suggest a schedule based on how you respond.
Will deep tissue massage hurt?
Pressure on tight areas can feel intense, but it shouldn't be painful. Tell your therapist at any time and they'll adjust.
Can massage help sciatica?
Massage can't fix the cause of sciatica, but easing tight hip, glute, and lower back muscles may improve comfort and make it easier to stay active.
