How it works

Built around your day.

Stay dressed
We work through your clothes, so there is nothing to change into and no oil to wash off. Loose, comfortable clothes are best if you want stretching.
Pick your length
Book 30 to 90 minutes on the table, or 10 or 20 in the chair. A short session can make a big difference.
Come in today
Same-day appointments are almost always available. Walk-ins are welcome too, with a short wait most days.
Set the pressure
Anything from relaxation to deep tissue. Tell your therapist what you want and they will adjust as they go.
