Therapeutic massage is a holistic technique, meaning it takes a whole-person approach to treatment. It involves the manipulation of soft tissues (including your skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments) through rubbing, kneading, pressing. There are many styles of massage designed to meet a variety of needs, ranging from those that involve light, gentle strokes to those that use deep, kneading pressure.
Our practice combines elements of relaxation with targeted techniques that address pain, stiffness, and emotional strain.
Having just a single massage can leave you feeling relaxed and energized, both physically and mentally. Making therapeutic massage a regular part of your health and wellness routine can benefit you on a whole new level. Having massages on a regular basis can help:
Whether recovering from an injury, managing chronic stress, or simply seeking a moment of calm in a hectic day, a personalized massage therapy session can help you rediscover balance, energy, and well‐being.
In total, there are almost 100 different techniques of massage and bodywork, and each is designed to achieve a definite goal. Some of the types of massages we offer include:
Why Choose Summit Health Group?
When a massage therapist manipulates soft tissues, it stimulates the transmission of electrical signals, both to the area that they’re massaging and throughout the body. These signals, along with the healing properties of touch, help alleviate pain and tension, induce a sense of calm, stimulate circulation, heal muscle damage, and activate the lymphatic system to clear waste products. Massage also prompts the release of endorphins and reduces stress hormone levels.
Fascial Release – Massage works on the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, organs, and bones. Techniques help release restrictions in fascial tissue, improving mobility and reducing pain. This is particularly important since fascial restrictions can affect movement patterns throughout the entire body.
Inflammation Reduction – Studies show that massage can reduce inflammation markers in the body by decreasing the production of inflammatory cytokines while increasing the production of mitochondria in muscle cells, which aids in tissue repair and recovery.

I really appreciate Summit Health as a faculty and their staff. It would often take days or weeks to get an appointment with my former provider, but I have been able to set up same day visits with Summit Health. I highly recommend.

Dr. Shay Shani and Team do an amazing job. Several of my family members go see him and they love it. I personally think this office makes miracles. I’ve seen it myself. One day I took my husband that was having issues over the weekend and could barely move. When we left the office he was able to walk by himself and get into the car without any problems. Everyone there is really friendly and it’s such of clean environment. I totally recommend it!

Comprehensive answers to the most common massage therapy questions that we get.
Your initial session begins with a consultation where you can share your health history and specific concerns. Our therapist will explain the various techniques and determine which approach suits your needs best. You can expect a calm, respectful environment where your comfort is prioritized. The session itself is conducted at a pace that is comfortable for you, ensuring that you fully benefit from the therapeutic process.
Many of our clients benefit from regular sessions that target chronic pain by releasing muscle tension and boosting blood circulation. The consistent manipulation of muscles and soft tissues helps to alleviate discomfort and improve mobility. Over time, clients often experience a significant reduction in pain levels, which contributes to an improved quality of life and greater physical endurance.
While massage therapy is beneficial for most, certain conditions such as severe osteoporosis, recent surgical procedures, or acute injuries may require cautious protocols or alternative treatments. We always recommend discussing your medical history in detail so that we can adjust the session accordingly and ensure your safety at every step.
To get the most out of your massage, it is best to arrive a few minutes early. This extra time allows you to settle in and fill out any forms, if necessary. Wearing comfortable clothing and communicating any areas of concern to your therapist will help tailor the session to your preferences or needs. A relaxed mind sets the stage for a more effective treatment experience.
Absolutely. Many individuals find that regular massage therapy works in synergy with their existing medical routines, helping to alleviate side effects of treatments and enhancing overall wellness.
