Relax with Gina's Massage
What is Massage Therapy?
Performed by our licensed massage therapist, Gina, massage therapy involves using different pressures, movements and techniques to manipulate muscles and other soft tissues in the body. With a goal of slowing down your nervous system, massage therapy can be used to release stress and tension, provide relief from symptoms, heal injuries and support wellness.
Massage isn't just relaxation. Massage improves joint mobility, muscle relaxation, circulation, pain management and more! The overall experience reduces anxiety and stress focusing on self-care and supports overall wellness. - Gina
We believe that massage is an important tool in promoting mental and physical health.

Types of massage therapy
Massages come in all shapes and sizes. Gina will customize your session based on your specific needs and her skills.
Swedish massage
Feeling stressed? A Swedish massage is the classic go-to for major relaxation. Swedish massage is typically a full-body massage that uses a gentle touch. It’s a good pick for people new to massages.
Deep tissue massage
Your muscles can get tight from repeated use — even from something less active like sitting, driving or hunching over your laptop. This type of massage can be good for chronic issues, muscle tightness, and injuries.
Deep tissue targeting muscles that are over used
Sports massages are similar to deep-tissue massages, but they zero in on the muscles that get used most often when you play sports or do other repetitive physical activity. Choice massage for athletes and those suffering from sports injuries or those looking to prevent injury and improve performance.
Trigger point massage
A knot in your neck or a tight spot in your back is known as a trigger point. In a trigger-point massage, the massage therapist uses focused and direct pressure to target those spots. This increases blood flow to the areas, helping them release. This type of massage can also be helpful for people with chronic pain.
