Clinical Massage Therapy
Our clinical massage therapy addresses musculoskeletal conditions through targeted manual techniques. This specialized treatment combines neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, and movement assessment to resolve chronic pain patterns. By focusing on soft tissue dysfunction rather than general relaxation, we help clients restore proper muscle function and eliminate pain sources. Each session includes postural analysis and personalized corrective exercises to reinforce treatment effects between visits.
Fascial Stretch Therapy
Fascial Stretch Therapy improves flexibility and joint mobility through assisted stretching techniques. This method targets the connective tissue network surrounding muscles to release chronic tension patterns. Using specialized treatment tables and straps, our therapists guide clients through multi-planar movements that decompress joints and restore natural range of motion. Sessions help reduce pain from fascial restrictions while enhancing athletic performance and movement efficiency.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy addresses myofascial pain through precise pressure application to hyperirritable muscle bands. Our practitioners use sustained compression techniques to release adhesions and restore normal tissue function. This treatment effectively resolves referred pain patterns often misdiagnosed as nerve or joint issues. Sessions include education on self-treatment techniques and postural modifications to prevent recurrence of trigger point formations.
Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy enhances cellular energy production through specific light wavelengths. This non-invasive treatment stimulates mitochondrial function to accelerate tissue healing and reduce inflammation. By improving cellular metabolism, it supports recovery from musculoskeletal injuries while promoting overall wellness. Sessions complement manual therapy by optimizing cellular environment for tissue repair and regeneration.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Our sports injury rehabilitation program combines manual therapy with functional movement training. Through SFMA assessments, we identify movement pattern dysfunctions contributing to athletic injuries. Treatment integrates neuromuscular re-education, fascial manipulation, and sport-specific corrective exercises. This approach helps athletes recover from injuries while improving performance metrics and preventing future injuries through biomechanical optimization.

Questions
What conditions do you treat?
We treat musculoskeletal conditions including back/neck pain, sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, scar tissue adhesions, and chronic pain syndromes through manual therapy and movement rehabilitation.
How is clinical massage different from spa massage?
Clinical massage focuses on treating specific musculoskeletal conditions through targeted techniques rather than general relaxation. Our sessions include movement assessments and corrective exercise prescriptions for lasting results.
Do you accept insurance?
We don't file insurance claims directly but provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement. Many clients use HSA/FSA accounts for treatment expenses with physician-prescribed medical necessity.
What should I expect during the first session?
Initial sessions include comprehensive postural and movement assessments followed by targeted manual therapy. Treatment plans typically combine hands-on work with personalized corrective exercises and self-care strategies.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment duration varies by condition complexity. Most clients experience measurable improvement within 3-6 sessions, with chronic cases requiring more extensive rehabilitation programs combining manual therapy and movement training.

Report
I've been a client of Allen Rubin's for years and think he's phenomenal both as an orthopedic massage therapist but also as a stretch therapist. Allen takes the time to educate, he demonstrates therapeutic exercises and shares videos to help strengthen key areas of the body. He's a key part of my physical well-being team. I highly recommend him.
