CONDITIONS
We often think of having massage work done because we deserve some pampering. Someone told us to go see a chiropractor if you think you are out of alignment. However, massage and chiropractic care can help tackle your health and wellness goals, as well as solve many a physical problem. Did you know that we can help with the following?
ATHLETIC PERFORMACE AND RECOVERY
Athletes need to be mobile, recover quickly and resolve injuries fast. We can help with rotator cuff strain, IT band tightness, shin splints, hip flexor issues, knees strain, tennis elbow to name a few.

SCIATICA
Sciatica feels like low back pain that travels into your hip and leg -- possibly as far down as the foot. A spastic piriformis muscle is often involved. We treat it with deep soft tissue work and chiropractic adjustments in combination.
Recommended therapies: deep myofascial release, trigger point therapy, sacral release, passive stretching, chiropractic adjustments.
Recommended therapists: Emily, Tony, Piotr, Mario, Dr. K.
SITTER'S SYNDROME
If you own a smartphone, a tablet or a laptop, you probably spend a significant amount of time looking DOWN. Most of us sit too long. This leads to Sitter’s Syndrome-- tight weak postural muscles that are being trained to pull us forward into a hunched position. Time to straighten up!,
Recommended therapies: structural integration, sacral release technique, assisted stretching
Recommended therapists: Jacqulyn, Emily, Mariia
STRESS
It’s tough out there! Emotional and social stress can create physical tension, slouched posture, fatigue, unrest, and pain. It helps to LET GO to handle stress better. It also opens the door to creativity.
