BENEFITS OF MASSAGE THERAPY
Imagine waking up
after a good night's rest...
Having no more pain in your back, neck, or hip.
Having increased range of motion so you can go on a walk, run with your kids, or move without pain.
You feel clear, energetic, and focused. Ready to welcome the new day.
This is possible with targeted therapeutic massage.
Let me help you feel like yourself again.
Let's be honest, when your muscles are tight and tense it causes pain, it restricts your movement and takes away the desire to be active, it can affect your quality of sleep and leave you waking up still feeling tired. North Florida Therapeutic Massage uses various massage therapy techniques to relax the muscles, release muscle tension and allow for more movement with less pain. When muscles relax, they lengthen and allow for a broader range of motion. When the muscle tension is released, pain is reduced and the body begins to relax allowing for better sleep. Now you have more energy and no pain to hold you back from an active and fulfilling life.

Discover a new life within a restored body.
Muscle focused stretching is highly recommended and beneficial. We will discuss your needs and concerns and what this looks like for you. You have specific needs and we want to make sure the time you devote to stretching will give you the relief you need and target your problem areas.
For our prenatal ladies, we have specific stretches and exercises that were put together by physical therapists to target those areas that are most impacted by the physical changes of pregnancy. These exercises are safe and you are able to do them at home on your own with minimal equipment. We recommend getting in the habit of using these exercises in the second trimester to strengthen your body in the areas where more stress and tension will present in the third trimester. This can help to prevent discomfort even if you are not yet experiencing back, hip, and/or pelvic pain. The hope is to make your pregnancy experience as comfortable as possible.
During the post-op recovery process, whether you had a c-section, cosmetic procedure, or cancer treatment-related surgery, your self-care practices will set the tone of your recovery. The manual lymphatic drainage will be a big part of jump-starting your body's natural healing process. The self-manual lymphatic instruction we go over and your commitment to doing the treatment at home will also be key to maintaining the results achieved during our sessions. Dry brushing techniques that help to stimulate the lymphatic system and improve skin texture and appearance will also be discussed. The intention is to keep the lymphatic system stimulated to speed your recovery as much as possible.
KIND WORDS
I highly recommend Andria without hesitation! After severely pulling my back and suffering, I went to see Andria. I was amazed at how fast I recovered after a few sessions. She is very well versed in many disciplines and can “feel’” and adjust technique and pressure based on need. A professional with a great personality, patience, and care.
