Service Details
Massage Therapy
Therapeutic deep tissue, sports, prenatal, and relaxation massage customized to reduce tension and speed recovery. Offered by licensed massage therapists Lily Vrsek and Nando Perez.
Myofascial Release
Hands-on technique focusing on releasing tension and adhesions in connective tissues to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function. Customized to each patient's needs.
Shockwave Therapy
10 min
Non-invasive radial pressure wave therapy for chronic tendinopathy, heel pain, trigger points, and muscle injuries. Sessions last less than 10 minutes and target tissue repair, blood flow, and scar tissue breakdown. Effective for plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, and myofascial pain.
Acupuncture
Targeted needling techniques to reduce pain, improve circulation, decrease inflammation, and promote healing. Board-certified acupuncture physicians (Jennifer Strang DC, DABCA and Christine Pan DC) tailor treatments to address musculoskeletal pain, migraines, insomnia, digestive complaints, and hormonal issues, integrating lifestyle and nutritional guidance when appropriate.
Dry Needling
Specialized needling technique used to reduce muscle guarding, improve neuromuscular activation, calm sensitized tissues, and restore normal movement patterns. Often combined with movement re-education.
Cupping Therapy
Adjunct therapy offered alongside core services to support soft tissue treatment and recovery.
