Therapeutic massage makes an important contribution to overall physical and mental well-being. It has been shown to relieve pain, enhance energy, increase flexibility, and help to integrate mind, body, form and function.

Each therapeutic massage is tailored to the needs of the individual and may incorporate many modalities into a single session.
