Services
Sports Massage
Sports massage prevents injuries and enhances athletic performance through specialized techniques including pre-event preparation, post-event recovery, and maintenance sessions. Our therapists employ deep tissue work and neuromuscular approaches to improve flexibility and reduce muscle tension. Ideal for active individuals seeking to maintain peak physical condition through targeted therapeutic interventions.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage uses specialized manual techniques to improve lymph fluid circulation and reduce swelling. This therapy benefits individuals with lymphedema, fibromyalgia, and post-surgical conditions through gentle gliding motions that stimulate the lymphatic system. Our trained therapists apply this technique to help manage chronic swelling and support overall immune function.
Pre-Natal Massage
Pre-natal massage addresses discomforts associated with pregnancy through gentle therapeutic techniques. Our certified therapists use modified positioning and specialized strokes to relieve backaches, leg cramps, and swelling while promoting relaxation. This service supports maternal wellness by reducing stress and improving circulation during all trimesters.
Oncology Massage
Oncology massage provides therapeutic support during cancer treatment using gentle, adaptive techniques. Our trained therapists modify pressure and positioning to accommodate treatment side effects while promoting relaxation and emotional well-being. This service includes self-massage education to help manage symptoms between sessions.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release addresses connective tissue restrictions using sustained pressure and stretching techniques. This therapy improves mobility and reduces pain by releasing tension in the fascia surrounding muscles and organs. Our practitioners combine this approach with neuromuscular techniques to treat chronic pain conditions and postural imbalances.

SUPERLATIVE deep tissue from Brent. Brent is big, and his length and strength know how to use highly honed skill and born talent with surgical precision and therapeutic perceptiveness. He was so systematic and thoroughgoing, It could have been an anantomany lesson, if I hadn't unwound too much to attend. And he's the silent type, so you get to be in your body, or your zone, or wherever you want to be during your massage, while he attends wholly to his art and your body's need. He finds your trigger points, knots, soreness, all manner of evil, and he makes it go away. I kept thinking, "I hope he

I always come here to see Brent. He is so calm. You just know you're in the presence of a good spirit. He has snatched me from my other therapist because he can do my deep tissue massages without breaking a sweat. He is very knowledgeable in his craft, and genuinely cares about relieving my pain. A professional.

Sharon is fantastic. Over the years I've had a lot of massages at most of the places in Annapolis & she's the best.

Best massage Ive ever had! Sharonn was kind and very knowledgeable. It was awesome how she could easily pinpoint trouble areas and fix them. My back has never felt this good! Ive had many massages at different places, but have never felt this type of long term relief. 10/10 would recommend. And it was very clean!

As an "at risk" person, I'm very cautious about where I go during this pandemic. Sharonn's precautions quickly put me at ease . Her studio is spotless and no other client was inside at the same time. In spite of the additional PPE she wears while doing the massage, the service was outstanding . The atmosphere was very relaxing and just what I needed during these very stressful time . If I could give her 10 stars I would . I highly recommend Caring Hands and look forward to my next massage.
