Massage Therapists & Styles
Your body's needs change from day to day; what feels good after a strenuous workout may not have the same effect on a day you want to relax. Our massage sessions are customized to meet your individual needs. Talk with your therapist before and during your session to ensure the best massage therapy possible. Some common massage styles are listed below:

partially or completely. Body is covered with sheets and blankets except area
being massaged. The overall effect is soothing and relaxing.

injuries with your therapist first to make sure DT is appropriate for you.
