Frequently Asked Questions

Is this medical or spa massage?

Think of this as ‘results-based’ bodywork. While we want you to feel relaxed, our main goal is to help you find relief from pain and improve how your body moves and functions.

Do I need a referral?

Nope! You’re welcome to book an appointment directly with us whenever you feel you need care. We’re here when you’re ready.

Can massage be combined with chiropractic care?

Absolutely—in fact, we recommend it! They work beautifully together. Massage helps relax the muscles, which often makes your chiropractic adjustments easier, more comfortable, and longer-lasting.

Is lymphatic drainage safe after I’ve had surgery?

In most cases, yes! It can be a wonderful way to reduce swelling and speed up your recovery. We’ll just do a quick health screening first to make sure it’s the safest timing for your specific situation.
