Meet Devan and Angie, owners of The Center for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork.

Professional massage therapy is a holistic approach to health and wellness that combines the art and science of manipulating soft tissues. It encompasses a range of techniques designed to promote relaxation, relieve tension, and improve overall physical function.
Session Structure
Each session typically lasts between 30 to 90 minutes, beginning with a consultation to understand the client’s needs and any specific areas of concern. The therapist creates a comfortable environment, using soft lighting and calming music.
Professional Standards
Massage therapists are required to obtain a license, which involves completing accredited training programs and passing certification exams. This ensures they are knowledgeable about anatomy, physiology, and ethical practices.
Client Experience
Clients are encouraged to communicate openly with their therapist about their preferences, comfort levels, and any medical conditions. This collaborative approach helps to tailor each session for optimal results.
Conclusion
Professional massage therapy is not just a luxury; it’s a therapeutic practice that plays a crucial role in maintaining physical and emotional health. Regular sessions can lead to long-term benefits, making it an integral part of many people’s wellness routines.

GET IN TOUCH
This 30 min session is spot specific utilizing manual tools such as scraping and cups.
Muscle scraping is a therapeutic technique that uses a specialized tool to break up scar tissue and adhesions in the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles.
Cupping is close to the opposite effect which involves placing cups on the skin to create suction; the negative pressure environment caused by the suction may cause a myofascial decompression to lift muscle fibers and increase blood flow to the affected areas.
30 min
Full Body Stretch
A revitalizing session designed to release tension, improve flexibility, and enhance mobility throughout your entire body. Experience deep stretches that target every major muscle group, leaving you feeling relaxed, re-energized, and aligned. Perfect for reducing stress, increasing range of motion, and promoting overall well-being.
45 min
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic technique that involves applying special elastic tape to the skin in specific patterns to help alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and support muscles and joints. The tape is designed to mimic the skin’s elasticity, allowing for greater movement without restricting range of motion.
Great for posture, swelling, injury prevention and rehab, and pain relief.
