MyoSolutions: Because Pain Relief Is Very Relaxing!
MyoSolutions, LLC
MyoSolutions, LLC provides massage & bodywork for pain relief, improved mobility and athletic performance.

Our clients are diverse in their stages of life and wellness. They range from tweens to near centurions. They are ironman tri-athletes, award winning swimmers, occupational athletes and people who are currently living with and treating for cancer, MS and Parkinsonism.

We begin with a health assessment and interview to determine our client's goals. We then use our assessment skills and proficiency in manual techniques to meet those goals.

We utilize all of our training and skills to assist our client's in achieveing the desired outcome. Therefore, we do not charge different prices for different types of massage. Our job is to manipulate your muscles not your wallet.

Our sessions are for the full session time. This means if you request a 60 minute massage you will be on the table receiving massage for A FULL HOUR. We do not engage in the practice of offering 50 minutes for a one hour massage. That 10 minutes other therapists commonly use for client's dressing and undressing may not seem like much, but it is nearly 20% of your session time. Are you getting a 20% discount? Do you really want to pay your massage therapist for allowing you to change? We do not believe this practice is in the best interest of our clients so we do not do it.

Although most people we see are dealing only with soft tissue issues, we take special pride in being one of few local practices trained and experienced in working with medically frail clients particularly those who have M.S. or Parkinsonism and those who are living with cancer, as well as those who have suffered a stroke or TIA. Because these treatments must be very specifically tailored to the indvidual's needs please call for more information if you would like to know if you or a loved one would benefit from this type of work.
