Neuromuscular Therapy & Deep Tissue Massage
Targeted Therapeutic Massage for Pain, Tension & Improved Mobility
60 minutes $130 ~ 90 minutes $170
When pain, muscle tension, or restricted movement begins interfering with your everyday life, massage can be more than a way to relax—
it can be a purposeful part of your wellness and recovery.
Nancy Saunders takes an individualized, therapeutic approach to Neuromuscular Therapy and Deep Tissue Massage. Rather than simply applying strong pressure throughout the body, Nancy evaluates areas of tension, considers how muscles and movement patterns are connected, and uses targeted techniques designed to address the underlying sources of discomfort.
Nancy’s goal is to help you move more comfortably, reduce muscular tension, improve flexibility, and return to the activities you enjoy.
Who Can Benefit?
Neuromuscular Therapy and Deep Tissue Massage use focused pressure, stretching, movement, and other therapeutic techniques to work with deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.
These techniques may be especially helpful for people who experience ongoing muscular tension or regularly place physical demands on their bodies.
Treatment may help address:
- Chronic muscle tension and tightness
- Muscle tightness associated with sports and physical activity
- Tension from prolonged computer or desk work
Stiffness related to gardening, household activities, or other repetitive movements - Recovery following certain injuries, when appropriate
Enhance the Healing Process
Nancy begins each session by listening to you.
Nancy wants to understand not only where you hurt, but also what may be contributing to the problem and how your discomfort is affecting your daily activities.
Your treatment may incorporate a combination of techniques based on your individual needs.
Nancy may use:
- Neuromuscular Therapy & Deep Tissue techniques to work with deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue when appropriate.
- Hot packs to help soften and prepare tight muscles before deeper therapeutic work.
- Targeted pressure and movement to address areas of restricted mobility and chronic tension.
- Professional-grade CBD cream, when appropriate, as an additional topical option for areas of pain or discomfort.
Nancy continually adjusts her approach based on how your body responds. The goal isn’t to make a massage hurt, but to create meaningful therapeutic change.
More Than a Spa Massage
While massage at a spa may focus primarily on relaxation and an enjoyable experience, Nancy’s therapeutic sessions are designed with a different purpose.
At Saunders Massage Therapy, you can expect:
- Experience working with clients seeking support for chronic pain, injuries, repetitive-use discomfort, and physical limitations.
- Personalized therapeutic focus on pain, tension, mobility, and function.
- An individualized assessment based on your concerns and treatment goals.
- Communication throughout your session so pressure and targeted techniques can be adjusted to your comfort level.
- A combination of therapeutic methods, including massage, heat, stretching, and topical products when appropriate.
Nancy’s philosophy is simple: deeper doesn’t automatically mean better. The most effective treatment is the treatment that is appropriate for your body and your goals.
If you aren’t sure whether Neuromuscular Therapy or Deep Tissue Massage is right for you, discuss your concerns and help determine an appropriate treatment approach.
The goal is to help you feel more comfortable in your body and move through everyday life with greater ease.
Your body doesn't need more pressure. It needs the right treatment.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No. Therapeutic massage may involve focused or firm pressure, particularly when working with areas of
significant tension, but pain is not the objective. Nancy adjusts pressure and techniques based on your body's
response and your comfort level.
Yes. Tension in the neck, shoulders, upper back, and surrounding muscles can contribute to some types of
tension headaches. Addressing muscular tension in these areas may help reduce discomfort for some people.
There is no one schedule that works for everyone. Frequency depends on your goals, activity level, symptoms, and how your body responds to treatment.
For someone addressing significant or recurring tension, sessions may initially be scheduled weekly or every
other week. As symptoms improve, some clients transition to monthly maintenance treatments.
Nancy can help you determine a schedule that makes sense for your individual needs.
Not necessarily. Therapeutic massage is often most effective when time is directed toward the areas that need
attention. Your session may focus on specific muscles or regions rather than providing equal treatment to the
entire body.
