After being in business for many years, we have evolved into our present personal way of addressing different problems. We evaluate your situation and address it in a methodical and straightforward manner. If we can only alleviate your symptoms but cannot solve the problem, we will let you know and offer you several alternatives.
In order to help establish our practice and maintain our standards current, we have chosen to belong to the following organizations:
-
American Massage Therapy Association
-
National Certification of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork
-
American Counsel Exercise

Additionally, we belong to certain health plans that may be covered by several insurance companies. Our clients tend to stay with us for a very long time.
