TECHNIQUES
Active Release
Targets trigger points and chronic problem areas. By applying precise pressure, tension and movement, restrictions in muscles and fascia are broken up. This technique aims to restore proper function, range of motion, and decrease chronic pain.
Deep Tissue
This technique focuses on reaching deeper layers of muscle tissue. With firm pressure and slow strokes, it aims to alleviate chronic tension, loosen tight muscles, and promote relaxation, and offer relief from pain.
Swedish
This foundational technique is characterized by long, flowing strokes, kneading, and circular movements. Designed to promote relaxation and improve circulation, it gently eases muscle tension, relieves stress.
Myofascial Release
This is a specialized technique that targets the connective tissue surrounding muscles, known as fascia. By applying gentle pressure and sustained stretching, this therapy aims to release unconscious tension, and areas where fascia has gotten stuck together.
Assisted Stretching
A key modality in therapeutic massage, assisted stretching involves gently guiding and stretching the client's muscles to enhance flexibility, improve range of motion, and lengthen muscle fibers.

TESTIMONIALS
Sarah A.
Andrew was wonderful! It was my first time getting a massage and he made me feel very comfortable and explained what he was doing in an extremely clear fashion. He is attentive and sensitive to what your body needs, offering just the right amount of pressure as needed. I felt relaxed and calm after my massage - Andrew is an amazing massage therapist!
M. Walker
Exceptional! I booked a massage with Andrew shortly after the passing of my mother. It was therapeutic as expected. The truly exceptional part of the appointment was that he listened to me, in length, detail my emotional anguish as I dealt with the grief. He listened, shared his insights into personal grief, and was a professional at his craft throughout. He is a credit to the healing arts. I recommend him for anyone in need of this service. You will be in good hands.
