Services
Sports Massage
Sports Massage enhances athletic performance and recovery by targeting muscle strain, scar tissue, and adhesions from repetitive motion. Tailored sessions for elite, recreational, and beginner athletes address pre-event preparation, post-event recovery, and injury rehabilitation. Techniques improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility for runners, cyclists, and strength trainers.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular Therapy alleviates chronic pain by addressing trigger points, postural imbalances, and nerve compression. This technique releases tight muscle fibers contributing to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, and plantar fasciitis. Clients experience reduced pain, improved range of motion, and accelerated healing through targeted pressure and soft-tissue manipulation.
Reflexology
Reflexology stimulates pressure points on the feet and hands to promote systemic balance and organ function. This ancient practice reduces stress, enhances circulation, and supports the bodys natural healing processes. Clients seek reflexology for stress management, hormonal balance, and relief from conditions like migraines and digestive issues.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage addresses the unique needs of expectant mothers by relieving joint pain, edema, and postural strain. Gentle techniques enhance circulation, reduce swelling, and promote relaxation, supporting both physical and emotional well-being. Sessions are adapted to each trimester, fostering comfort and preparing the body for labor.
Connective Tissue Massage
Connective Tissue Massage targets fascial restrictions that contribute to chronic tension, poor posture, and restricted movement. By releasing tight connective tissue, this therapy improves blood flow, reduces pain, and restores structural alignment. Clients benefit from increased flexibility and relief from conditions linked to fascial adhesions.

Visited after several years since my last visit. The broiled flounder is my favorite meal and was as good as I remembered. Their cole slaw is great too.

I am now a massage convert ... after 30 minutes with Ruth, my chronic pain level is much reduced and I am able to walk with almost no pain at all. I'll certainly be coming back!
