Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage at The Care Collective combines diverse modalities like deep tissue, cupping, and prenatal techniques to address specific client needs. Our licensed therapists customize sessions using hot stones, essential oils, and targeted pressure to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. This service caters to individuals seeking pain relief, stress reduction, and enhanced physical well-being through personalized care.

Infrared Sauna

Infrared sauna sessions use radiant heat to penetrate muscles and joints, offering detoxification, pain relief, and improved circulation. Clients can choose from full-spectrum cedar or basswood saunas with optional red light therapy. This service benefits those seeking muscle recovery, stress reduction, and cardiovascular health improvements through controlled heat exposure in a private setting.

Footsoak Therapy

Footsoak therapy combines warm herbal infusions with therapeutic massage to alleviate foot pain, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Sessions include targeted leg massage from the knee down, addressing plantar fasciitis and swelling. Ideal for individuals who stand for extended periods or seek localized relief, this service promotes mobility and relaxation through a blend of hydrotherapy and manual techniques.

Thai Massage

Thai massage integrates assisted stretching, acupressure, and joint mobilization to enhance flexibility and release tension. Available on a mat or table, this practice improves range of motion and energy flow while addressing chronic pain. It suits clients looking for a dynamic, full-body experience that combines physical therapy with meditative relaxation techniques.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to lift soft tissues, promoting blood flow and reducing muscle stiffness. This technique addresses chronic pain, scar tissue adhesions, and fascial restrictions through localized decompression. Beneficial for athletes and individuals with repetitive strain injuries, it complements deep tissue massage by enhancing circulation and accelerating recovery from muscular imbalances.

Massage with Stacy was amazing! Being a runner and someone who completes multiple HIIT workouts weekly, there are many tight knots plus working at a desk during the day for work. She worked out all of the knots, IT Band, and hip flexor. Hot stones, sound bathing and warm towels were a pleasant and relaxing surprise! I highly recommend Stacy!

My wife and I went in for the couples massage and it was absolutely wonderful!! Best massage I've ever had! I had Mac Y Woods and my wife had Liz Perr. They were absolutely the best. Collective care was extremely clean and adhered to all covid sanitation standards. After our massages we felt brand new and soooo relaxed! I will definitely be back, as will my wife, but next time will be getting the 90 minute massage for sure!!! Love this place!!

Liz is the best! I have been going to her for almost a year now and she has helped so much with my mobility and chronic shoulder/neck issues. I cant say enough wonderful things about her. It will be the best massage of your life! You will wonder why you didnt do it sooner.

The easy access and free parking definitely make this location a winner. More importantly to me though, is the care and professionalism of the staff. I was very hesitant at first but Megan made me feel secure and comfortable. She listened to my issues and then proceeded to heal them. Now I consider massage an integral part of my personal wellness. I have discovered that massage improves my life in so many ways (some that I didnt even realize I needed). I highly recommend the Care Collective!
