OUR THERAPISTS:
Our massage therapists are licensed by the State Medical Board of Ohio and are experienced therapists. Our goal is to provide our clients with the best possible care and treatment plan to fit their individual situation, whether that is pain relief or stress/tension reduction. Every massage therapist has a different massage therapy style as well as a variety of techniques to offer our clients based on their individual training and experiences. You are not required to reschedule with the same therapist if you find that your personalities don’t mesh, you feel uncomfortable for any reason, or you would like to try a different therapist based on pressure, desires or different techniques. We are more than happy to help you achieve your optimal health so you can function without pain and with less stress in your everyday life.
