Not a spa massage
This is deep tissue massage and sports massage with a purpose. Sessions use hands-on techniques to reduce muscle tension, improve tissue mobility, increase circulation, decrease soreness and restore joint movement. People sometimes call that medical massage; we simply call it therapeutic massage.
It helps to know why tight spots form. High training loads, repetitive movement, strength imbalances, poor recovery, stress and long hours of sitting all leave tissue restricted, which can limit mobility and raise injury risk. Massage helps reset it.
Who benefits from massage here
- Athletes in season or off season
- Lifters managing training volume

- People finishing physical therapy
- Anyone looking for massage for back pain or a stiff neck
How a session goes
A session starts with a short conversation: where you feel tight, what your training looks like and what you are working toward. Then your massage therapist applies focused techniques to the areas that need attention.
When it fits, they may suggest mobility drills, recovery strategies or changes in training load. Massage is often paired with corrective exercise, because the aim is lasting results rather than temporary relief.

How massage fits with physical therapy
Your massage therapists
Elissa Lind, Massage Therapist and Christine Smith, Massage Therapist provide massage at the clinic. When you book online, choose one of them as your provider.
Beside your therapy plan
Many patients book massage while they are in PT. Soft tissue work from your physical therapist is described under Manual Therapy, and Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Cupping Therapy are separate hands-on treatments.
Common reasons
Tight muscles from Back Pain or Neck Pain, long-standing Chronic Pain, and recovery from a Sports Injury Rehab or heavy training.
