Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is considered to be the back-bone of the healing arts. The ancient practice of the manipulation of muscle and joints with or without the application of healing oils and herbs has evolved into a powerful tool to reduce stress, manage the acute or chronic pain that results from trauma and degenerative illness, and support the client in maximizing well-being. Quite simply, massage therapy makes everyone feel good, better, best! (Mini Massage, 30 minutes $60)
