Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage is a specialized form of bodywork that goes beyond relaxation. It focuses on manipulating soft tissues and muscles to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance your body's natural ability to heal. Our therapists employ a variety of techniques and modalities tailored to your individual concerns.
Therapeutic massages are offered at 60 and 90 minute appointment durations.

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a targeted approach to bodywork that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. It is designed to break up adhesions (muscle knots or bands of painful, rigid tissue) and relieve chronic muscle tension. Unlike a traditional Swedish massage, which uses lighter strokes, deep tissue massage employs deep, controlled pressure to access and address underlying muscular issues.
Deep Tissue massages are offered at 60 and 90 minute appointment durations.

Cupping Therapy
Cupping massage is a holistic approach to bodywork that involves placing specially designed cups on the skin's surface to create a vacuum effect. This gentle suction lifts the skin and underlying tissues, increasing blood flow, and promoting the release of toxins and muscular tension. It is a non-invasive and highly effective method for addressing a range of physical and emotional concerns.
A cupping therapy session duration is 30 minutes.

What to Expect at Your Appointment
Warm Welcome
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the receptionist or by Jennie. They will confirm your appointment details and may ask you to complete a brief health history form if you haven't already done so. The waiting room and front desk is shared by Rising Health & Performance, if you see Dr. Graessle - you’re in the right place!
Consultation
Jennie will sit down with you to discuss your health history, any specific concerns or areas of discomfort, and your goals for the session. It's essential to communicate your preferences, such as the type of massage (e.g., therapeutic, deep tissue, or specialty techniques) and the pressure level you prefer.
Privacy & Preparation
Jennie will leave the room to allow you privacy to undress to your comfort level. Most people undress completely for a full-body massage, but you can also leave on your undergarments or wear what you feel most comfortable in. You will be provided with a sheet or towel to cover yourself. Before Jennie returns, you will lie down on the massage table. The room will be dimly lit, and calming music may be playing to create a soothing atmosphere. Jennie will knock before re-entering the room.
Massage Session & Communication
Jennie will then begin the session, using various techniques and pressures based on your preferences and her professional judgment. They will work on different areas of your body, addressing specific concerns or providing a full-body massage, depending on your needs. Jennie may also recommend at home exercises and stretches to help assist any problem areas. During the session, it's crucial to communicate with Jennie. If you experience discomfort, the pressure is too intense or not enough, or you have any other concerns, don't hesitate to speak up. Jennie will adjust their technique to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.
Post-Massage
After the massage is complete, Jennie will leave the room, allowing you to take your time getting dressed. You can use this time to stretch and center yourself. It's essential to drink plenty of water after your massage to help flush out toxins released during the session and to stay hydrated. When you're ready, you can meet with Jennie again to discuss how the session went. They may provide recommendations for post-massage care or suggest follow-up sessions if necessary.
After your massage, you may experience a sense of relaxation, improved circulation, reduced muscle tension, and an overall feeling of well-being. These effects can last for hours or even days, depending on the type and intensity of the massage.
Remember that we are here to support your well-being, and open communication is key to ensuring you have a positive and beneficial experience. Whether you're seeking relaxation or therapeutic relief, your massage therapy appointment is a dedicated time for self-care and rejuvenation.
Personal Training
Invest in yourself. Invest in your health. Invest in your future.
Strength training is the best form of exercise people of any age should endure in. When you schedule a personal training session with Jennie, she will first have you perform a movement assessment. This will help her know what movement restrictions you may have and can better customize sessions moving forward. Jennie focuses on functional training. Functional training focuses on improving your everyday mobility and functional fitness to excel in daily activities.
