Massage therapy
Massage therapy at the pressure you choose
Raven and Rebecca are licensed massage and bodywork therapists. Each visit starts with a conversation about where you carry tension and how much pressure you like.
A massage visit here is 60 minutes on a padded table, draped with a sheet and blanket so only the area being worked on is uncovered. You set the pressure and can ask for a change or a pause at any time. Some people like quiet, and some like to talk. Either is fine.
Who usually comes
People with tight necks and shoulders from desk work
People who stand, lift or drive for a living
People who are new to massage and want to know what to expect
People who want a quiet hour to rest

Good to know
Before and after your visit
What you may feel afterward
Many people feel loose and sleepy afterward. Some feel mild muscle soreness for a day, like after a workout. Drink water, and take it easy on the rest of the day if you can.

Some people come once for a rough week, and some come every few weeks to keep up with a physical job. Your therapist can suggest a rhythm, and it is always your call.
What it doesn't do, and when to see a doctor
Massage therapy doesn't diagnose or replace medical care. If something hurts in a new or worsening way, or you have swelling, redness or a fever, see your doctor first. For chest pain, trouble breathing or sudden weakness, call 911.
