Combines deep tissue with movement-based techniques to address chronic pain and restricted mobility. Adapts pressure and methods to individual needs, promoting long-term structural balance and pain reduction through targeted manipulation.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Focuses on trigger points and nerve pathways to alleviate localized and referred pain. Uses precise pressure to release muscle knots and improve nerve function, addressing conditions like sciatica and TMJ disorders.

Applies sustained pressure to hyperirritable muscle spots causing pain. Reduces tension and restores normal muscle function, effective for headaches, frozen shoulder, and sports-related injuries through focused, therapeutic intervention.

Alice Beale is FANTASTIC!!! She has magic hands and is expert at finding spots of discomfort on the body and working them over. I feel like a new person after a session with her! She's the best I've found in the area by far!

I'm surprised there aren't many many five star reviews here since Brad gives the most amazing massage I've experienced. He's very gifted so whether you're in need of a healing or pampering touch, Brad's massages I highly recommend.

Report
I was referred by my physical therapist- easily the best massage I have ever had! I saw Alice and was blown away. She just gets right in there like no one. Its a totally focused, deliberate type of deep tissue. She helped me so much with my shoulder problems and made sense of why I wasnt recovering as well as I wanted. I highly recommend!
