- 02
How long is a session?

- 03
How do I book?
Call 254-258-0873 to book directly with the therapist, or use the contact page. Appointments run Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Saturday, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
- 04
Do I need to know which type to ask for?
Not at all. Most clients describe the problem rather than the modality, and the session is built from there. If you arrive with a shoulder that will not rotate, the treatment will draw on whichever techniques best suit that shoulder.
Techniques and results
- 01
What is the difference between deep tissue and Swedish?
Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes at an even, moderate pressure to improve circulation and calm the nervous system. Deep tissue applies slower, more targeted pressure to the deeper muscle layers, releasing long-standing tension and treating chronic pain.
- 02
Does deep tissue massage hurt?
Deep tissue work should feel like productive pressure you can breathe through, not pain you need to brace against. Pressure is agreed with you at the start and adjusted throughout. Mild tenderness for a day afterward is normal.
- 03
Do you treat chronic pain and old injuries?
Yes. Chronic low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, sciatic symptoms, plantar fasciitis and postural pain following an old one-sided injury are treated regularly. Work around a healing injury is coordinated with any advice from your physician or physical therapist.
- 04
Can massage help with scoliosis?
Neuromuscular therapy can reduce the muscular pain and asymmetry that accompany scoliosis by easing the tissue on the concave side of the curve and supporting the muscles doing extra work on the other side. It does not correct the curve itself, and results are cumulative.
