R&R Clinical Bodywork focuses on the therapeutic stretching and manipulation of muscles to address specific ailments and promote healing. If you suffer from chronic muscle soreness or the sensation of knots in your back, our targeted therapeutic techniques are designed to relieve discomfort and restore balance to your body.
Unlike traditional relaxation massage, the goal of R&R Clinical Bodywork is to treat underlying health issues rather than simply providing a sense of relaxation. Our experienced practitioners use advanced knowledge of the musculoskeletal system to assess your condition, identify dysfunctions, and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
While some clients find therapeutic massage to be intense, many describe the sensation as a "good pain" that helps alleviate their discomfort. As your therapist works through your muscle tissue, you may experience some tenderness. To address your specific concerns, a variety of techniques may be used, including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, passive and resistive stretching, gua sha (fascial scraping), cupping, and more.
This treatment is ideal for addressing full-body rehabilitation or can be focused on a specific area with targeted half-hour sessions.
Sports Massage is a specialized treatment designed to address both minor and chronic injuries, as well as prevent future issues. This approach targets muscle tension and imbalances that arise from sports or physical activity. Through a variety of techniques, sports massage helps realign muscle fibers, loosen tight areas, and promote overall flexibility and mobility.
The specific techniques used will depend on the injury or the individual’s needs. Typically, sports massage includes elements of soft tissue work, deep tissue massage, full-body massage, and other physiotherapy methods to support recovery and rehabilitation.
This treatment is especially beneficial for athletes or anyone who participates in regular physical activity and is at risk of sport-related injuries. Whether you're recovering from a recent injury or looking to improve your performance, sports massage can enhance your body's function and help you perform at your best.
Relaxation Massage is a soothing treatment designed to relieve muscular tension, improve circulation, and foster a deep sense of relaxation. Using a combination of long, rhythmic strokes and gentle circular movements, this massage helps break down muscle adhesions and promote better blood flow.
Unlike deep tissue massage, which targets the connective tissues and deeper muscle layers, relaxation massage focuses on releasing tension in the muscles and restoring a calm, relaxed state to the body. It is not intended for treating injuries or discomfort from intense physical activity, but rather for reducing everyday muscle tightness and promoting overall well-being.
Many clients choose relaxation massage to unwind after a stressful week or to enhance mental clarity and emotional balance.
Asian Bodywork Therapy is a holistic healing approach that blends various traditional techniques, including Shiatsu, Anma, Tuina, Thai massage, and acupressure. The focus of this therapy is on restoring balance to the body’s energy system—known as qi—through the meridians and acupoints, as understood in Chinese medicine.
This therapy works by dispersing stagnation, nourishing areas of weakness, and encouraging the free flow of qi, resulting in deep healing on multiple levels. Unlike acupuncture, which uses needles, Asian Bodywork Therapy employs the hands, thumbs, fingers, elbows, knees, and non-invasive tools to stimulate and balance the body’s energy.
Your practitioner will assess your unique needs and apply various techniques to promote physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being, helping you maintain and restore overall health.

Gua Sha (pronounced 'gwa-shah'), or fascial scraping, is a traditional East Asian healing practice designed to promote wellness and relaxation. Using a smooth-edged tool, our trained professionals gently stroke the skin in one direction to enhance blood flow, release tension, remove adhesions and reduce inflammation. This technique also helps clear energy pathways, encouraging the natural flow of qi. Popular among athletes, Gua Sha can be scheduled as a standalone service, integrated into a clinical session, or added to a sports massage for a comprehensive experience.
Medical Massage is a therapeutic treatment aimed at addressing specific medical conditions or injuries, using a variety of techniques tailored to the needs of the individual. This form of massage is often utilized to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, and support rehabilitation efforts.
