Functional Massage Treatments

Our Functional Massage treatments combine several highly effective modalities into one integrated session. Depending on your individual needs, your treatment may include:

• NeuroKinetic Therapy® (NKT) to assess and treat underlying compensation patterns contributing to your pain
• Cupping therapy to help release areas of restriction identified through the NKT assessment (alternative soft tissue release techniques can be used if cupping is not preferred)
• Dolphin MPS for nervous system regulation, spinal treatment, and advanced scar tissue work
• Soft tissue techniques such as trigger point release, pin-and-stretch, and advanced stretching methods

All Functional Massage treatments are performed with the client fully clothed. No oils or lotions are used. This is the best choice for those looking to get to the root cause of their discomfort rather than simply treating the symptoms. Most patients notice greater improvements in function compared with a traditional massage.

Hot Stone Massages

Hot stone massages use heated stones to relax tight muscles and prepare them for treatment. This is not your typical spa-style hot stone massage where the stones are simply placed on your back. Instead, I use the stones as an extension of my hands to gently warm the tissues before using specialized stones to address trigger points, muscle tension, and fascial adhesions.  This treatment is ideal for those who enjoy a more traditional massage experience while benefiting from the therapeutic effects of heat. 

The fees are the same for both treatment styles, and both qualify for an RMT insurance receipt.
