Services Offered

Remedial Massage

In remedial massage, your therapist will conduct a thorough physical assessment including your symptoms, posture, range of movement, flexibility, and muscle strength.

Your therapist will then develop a treatment plan based on the results. 

Remedial massage is more targeted than deep tissue massage for treating pain and injuries. 

Pressure is applied differently depending on the area that needs to be treated.

Sports Massage

This type of massage technique is used to treat soft tissue injuries caused by recreational activities.

Because sports massage enhances athletic performance, it has become a vital part of many professional athletes' training regimen. 

Trigger Point Massage

The goal of this massage is to release and soften knotted muscles to relieve the pain associated with it. 

Therapists focus on pressing and rubbing knotted muscles.

Deep Tissue Massage

The purpose of this type of massage is to release severe tension and reach deep superficial muscles through slow, guided strokes and firm pressure. 

It is usually recommended for patients who suffer from chronic aches and pains in both large and small muscle groups.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is like acupuncture with the use of needles but it’s only intended to treat muscle pain.

Here are some testimonials from Russell’s previous clients:

“I cannot believe how lucky I have been finding Russell! Today I was spoiled with my first massage with Russell. I have suffered continuous chronic pain for over 20 years and Haven't been able to find anyone to get deep enough into my muscles to relieve my pain, until today! I have not had relief in 8 years but after my massage today I feel so much better already .. I actually feel that Russell has helped me in one session .. he is my savior and I will be back! I highly recommend Russell's massage.” - Michelle Williams

“Russell by far is the best. Normally I would walk away still in pain or worse then I started with, but Russell works his magic and knows what he is talking about!! He is not pusy either and understand you can only come when you can. I highly recommend him!!!!” - Gill Nelson

“It is not every day that you find a client telling their remedial massage therapist to raise their prices to match their incredible skill set, I would very honestly pay double, for the outstanding results that I have received and continue to receive after each weekly visit with Russell Carruthers.” - Susan Lightfoot
