Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect from a session with you?

Your first appointment begins with a conversation about what you’re experiencing, your goals, and any relevant injury, activity, or health history. Depending on your needs, your therapist may also incorporate movement or postural assessment. Our work is focused and individualized rather than a standard full-body massage routine. Your therapist will tailor the session to what your body needs that day and may provide movement, self-care, or other recommendations to support your goals between sessions.

What modalities/types of massage do you offer?

Our shared foundation is orthopedic massage, with additional specialties that vary by practitioner.

Our work may incorporate myofascial techniques, movement assessment, neuromuscular techniques, stretching, scar tissue work, athletic and performance-focused bodywork, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage.

Because each therapist has different advanced training, we recommend reviewing our individual profiles when scheduling to find the practitioner whose approach best matches your needs.

What is Orthopedic Massage?

Orthopedic massage is a focused approach to bodywork for musculoskeletal pain, injury, mobility concerns, and movement limitations. Sessions may incorporate techniques such as myofascial work, targeted massage, stretching, and movement assessment based on your individual needs.

Unlike a general relaxation massage, orthopedic bodywork focuses on specific areas of concern and considers how movement patterns, tissue restrictions, and compensation throughout the body may be contributing to what you’re experiencing.

What is Athletic & Performance Bodywork?

Athletic and performance bodywork combines orthopedic massage with an understanding of the specific movement demands placed on an athlete’s body.

Sessions may incorporate movement assessment, coaching, myofascial and neuromuscular techniques, and targeted bodywork to address restrictions, support recovery, and help athletes move more comfortably and efficiently.

Danielle has a particular interest in working with athletes and performers in disciplines such as figure skating, dance, and gymnastics, where mobility, strength, coordination, flexibility, and precise movement are especially important.

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized technique designed to support the movement of lymphatic fluid through the body.

MLD may be appropriate for individuals managing swelling or lymphedema and may also be incorporated into care following certain surgical procedures when appropriate.

Brenna has specialized training in lymphatic care and works with clients based on their individual needs, health history, and stage of recovery. If you’re unsure whether MLD is appropriate for you, please contact us before scheduling.

How do I know which therapist to book with?

Both of our therapists provide orthopedic bodywork, but each brings different areas of specialized training.

Danielle may be a particularly good fit for athletes and performers, including figure skaters, dancers, gymnasts, and others interested in integrating movement and performance-focused work into their sessions.

Brenna may be a particularly good fit for clients seeking Manual Lymphatic Drainage, lymphatic support, post-operative care, or an orthopedic approach that incorporates her lymphatic training.

If you’re still unsure, contact us and we’ll help you determine which practitioner may best fit your needs.

Do you take insurance?

We do not bill insurance directly. We accept HSA payments and can provide coded invoices that you may submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. Coverage and reimbursement vary by plan, so we recommend checking directly with your insurance provider.
