What is clinical massage?
Clinical massage is a method of massage therapy that creatively combines and applies a range of techniques to achieve a specific outcome – to get people out of pain or reduce it significantly enough to improve quality of life, increase range of motion, improve posture and to feel at home inside your own body. Clinical massage therapy can improve the functioning of joints and muscles, aid the healing process, and increase metabolism and circulation.
What will my session be like?
We will take five to ten minutes before each massage to ask you questions about your pain conditions, movement patterns, and posture. We use SOAP note charting to keep a record of the progress that is made from session to session. Once we begin a session, we use a wide variety of modalities including Swedish and deep tissue massage, myofacial release, trigger point therapy, and orthopedic assessment and treatment in order to work to your precise comfort level and reach the sessions goals. After the session is complete we will discuss the finding using an interactive app on our ipad.
What is SOAP note charting?
The SOAP note (an acronym for subjective, objective, assessment, and plan) is a method of documentation employed by health care providers to record notes in a patient's chart. We use an electronic note program that keeps your information confidential and secure, but allows us to reference notes from your past appointments in order to always give you the most comprehensive treatment we can.
Do you accept insurance?
Not at this time.
Should I arrive early?
We ask all of our clients to get to the studio space at least ten minutes before their scheduled appointment. We have a unique waiting room that doesn’t have chairs or couches. Instead, we encourage people to sit on a yoga ball or stretch out on our clean, comfortable, custom designed rug. We offer many different self care tools for you to warm up your soft tissues before the massage begins, allowing you to get the most out of your session.
Can I fill out forms beforehand?
When you book your appointment with us online you will be emailed a link to fill out a health intake form and to sign a waiver. Your information will be kept confidential and secure.
Where can I park?
Two-hour parking is available on Main Street in front of our studio. Longer term public parking can be found in the areas noted on this map.
What if I need to cancel my appointment?
Please provide us with at least 24 hours of notice if you need to reschedule or cancel. We'll credit 50% of the cost of your original service to your rescheduled appointment or to any future booking, but full refunds will not be given. If you reschedule or cancel less than 24 hours before your appointment time, we regret that no refund or credit can be given.
Is your studio handicap accessible?
No. There is one flight of stairs to get to our second floor location.
I'd like to receive a massage in the comfort of my own home. Do you travel?
Not at this time.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Not at this time — but, if you have an unredeemed gift card from the past please call us to schedule an appointment and apply your credit.
