Services
Massage Therapy
Customized massage treatments address musculoskeletal imbalances through deep tissue work, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. Our certified therapists assess individual biomechanics to correct postural distortions and alleviate chronic pain conditions. Sessions range from 30 to 120 minutes, allowing targeted treatment for localized discomfort or comprehensive full-body restoration.
Cold Plunge Therapy
Controlled cold water immersion reduces inflammation and accelerates muscle recovery through vasoconstriction and metabolic regulation. This 3-5 minute therapy enhances circulation, decreases muscle soreness, and improves nervous system response for athletes and active individuals seeking performance optimization and rapid post-exercise recovery.
Red Light Therapy
Low-level light wavelengths stimulate cellular energy production, promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation. This non-invasive treatment enhances skin health, accelerates wound healing, and alleviates joint pain through increased mitochondrial activity and improved microcirculation in targeted treatment areas.
Compression Therapy
Sequential pressure garments enhance lymphatic drainage and venous return through intermittent compression cycles. This modality reduces swelling, prevents fluid accumulation, and improves circulation in extremities through programmable pressure gradients tailored to individual therapeutic needs.
PEMF Therapy
Electromagnetic field applications stimulate cellular metabolism and tissue regeneration through induced electrical currents in bodily tissues. This non-invasive therapy improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports bone and soft tissue healing through enhanced cellular oxygenation and nutrient absorption mechanisms.

This is not your usual massage. Shawna incorporates massage techniques with functional physical therapy knowledge. If you are an athlete and need results then come here.

The best therapeutic massage there is. They understand the body and can help you get back in the game. Whether you're an athlete, weekend warrior, desk-jockey, or retired there is no one better to trust with your body.

Shawna is absolutely the best. I have never met another massage therapist who could truly assess my muscles and work on me exactly as my body needs it.
Shawna has specialized training to work with professional athletes and in various different techniques and she obviously knows what she is doing because i feel great afterwards. I suffer from herniated discs and she is careful not to irritate it while working to help bring relief to the area. If you are even considering going to a massage therapist because you need true relief.. you need to see Shawna.
