This is the foundation of Relax & Revive: skilled, intentional bodywork aimed at real results, not just relaxation. We offer two distinct services built around this philosophy — Therapeutic Massage and Targeted Tension Release Massage — each designed around your body’s specific needs that day.
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage uses light to medium pressure, along with techniques like myofascial release and assisted stretching, to work toward real therapeutic goals — without the intensity of deep tissue work. Only light trigger point work is included in this session. It’s a great fit for clients who want the benefits of therapeutic bodywork — easing tightness, improving range of motion, and helping your body move and feel the way it’s supposed to — but don’t enjoy or don’t need deep, heavy pressure.
Targeted Tension Release Massage
Targeted tension release massage zeroes in on specific “knots,” or hyperirritable spots within a muscle, that can cause localized pain, stiffness, and even referred pain elsewhere in the body — a tight spot in the shoulder, for example, can contribute to tension headaches. Using sustained, targeted pressure on these points, we work to release the tension, improve circulation to the area, and calm the nervous system’s pain response. This session is ideal when you have a specific problem area you want addressed directly.
Therapeutic Massage and Targeted Tension Release Massage are two separate types of massage, each with its own pressure level and therapeutic goal — choose whichever fits what your body needs. Every session — whichever you choose — is customized in real time based on your problem areas, pressure preference, and goals. Aromatherapy is included with every session to help you unwind.

- Clients who want real therapeutic benefit without deep, heavy pressure
- Anyone recovering from stress, poor sleep, or general burnout

Who Targeted Tension Release Massage Is For
- Anyone managing chronic muscle tension or pain
- Athletes and active clients (including common overuse injuries like pickleball elbow or golfer’s shoulder)
- Clients dealing with specific tight spots or “knots,” including referred pain like tension headaches
- Anyone who wants firm, targeted pressure focused directly on problem areas

What to expect: Every session starts with a quick check-in on problem areas, pressure preference, and goals for the session — then real, targeted work, not a generic routine.
