Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is the treatment of chronic and acute pain in the muscles and joints caused by trigger points, ischemic tissue and neurovascular entrapment. Unlike a full-body massage, NMT focuses only on specific areas of the body related to your pain problem; i.e. your shoulder, low back, hips, neck, etc. Learn More
Neuromuscular Massage
Using both full body massage and NMT, the therapist combines deep tissue work with trigger point release in a variety of ways depending on the needs of the client. The time can be spent either focusing on a complaint or attending to your whole body, feeling for areas of dysfunction, tension and pain. The therapist will treat your body holistically, using the knowledge that NMT training and years of experience brings. Learn More
Massage Therapies
Our massage therapists are trained in a variety of techniques adaptable to your needs (Restorative Massage, Deep Tissue, or Sports Massage). They can all work on specific areas of concern or do a full body massage, go deeply or just help you relax. Our intake form and pre-treatment consultation will help to personalize each session.

Pilates
Pilates is a full-body conditioning and rehabilitation program known for developing strength, stability and flexibility. It’s fun and varied, both challenging and easy, and is accessible for any age, weight or physical condition.
Pilates is taught privately as Solos, Duets or Trios on our Reformers/Cadillacs and other pieces of equipment. Mat work is available in Small Group Classes, but comprises a portion of almost every lesson. Learn More
Active Isolated Stretching
Need a good stretch? Active Isolated Stretching is the first step in the rehabilitation process and is the base for every good fitness regime. Pre-and postsurgical conditions are greatly helped by working the deep connective tissue of the joints. Athletes improve performance dramatically and those with repetitive postures or movements find relief from the resulting muscle strain.
Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a time-tested and unique method of lengthening muscles developed by Kinesiotherapist and rehabilitator Aaron Mattes. Increase flexibility and muscle efficiency; improve balance, strength and speed; expand lung capacity; intensify focus and concentration; reduce stress. AIS is the best! You’ll be amazed at the results! Learn More
