OUR MASSAGE PHILOSOPHY
Booking a massage can be overwhelming!
Do I want a "Deep Tissue", “Thai”, or a "Swedish" massage? I've heard about lymphatic drainage but what does that mean? What will help my pain go away? Is aromatherapy worth the hype? How do I choose?
Menus are intimidating. We’re here to help.
—————————————————————————-
Our philosophy at Strong Hands is to provide a relaxing and therapeutic experience tailored to you and your individual needs. No complicated bookings - just pick your time and we will come up with a comprehensive treatment plan together. We'll discuss your needs and goals before every session and tailor the modalities and techniques to you. If you know what you are looking for more specifically, we can help with that too.
Perhaps you are at a loss. You can choose between a few simple session goals such as Please Relieve My Stress, I Want To Move Better, Help With My Pain, etc. You’ll see it every time you schedule a session.
What few add-ons we offer are there to ensure we have enough time to fully deliver your massage experience. If you have questions about any of it, please reach out and let’s chat. We love to talk about massage and its myriad benefits!
Let our Strong Hands handle it. You just relax and enjoy.

BENEFITS OF MASSAGE
Massage therapy is increasingly recognized as a valuable component to our healthcare. For many conditions, massage can provide direct relief. For others, it can supercharge your body’s healing process. Sciatic pain, injury recovery, muscular imbalances, constipation, tight shoulders, stress from your job/family/life - these are just a few of the things we can help with!
‘Therapeutic’ is thrown around a lot to support various methods and techniques. The truth is that no technique is going to be your perfect solution. And rarely is a massage entirely one modality.
At Strong Hands you will experience a variety of techniques seamlessly weaved together to create a therapeutic experience for specifically YOU.
Truly, just relieving stress is therapeutic. With Strong Hands you’ll get that plus more. Let us show you.
SCHEDULING
Booking is easy. Use the scheduling tool to book an appointment as soon as tomorrow or as far as a couple months from now.
If you have any questions or special requests, you can use the contact tool or send an email phil@stronghandswellness.com. We also offer group sessions, weddings, and events scheduling for all of your relaxation needs!
Because it is just me for now, I don't take appointment scheduling via phone. My online booking is easy and seamless, and my availability is always updated.
FAQs
Why am I being asked about my medical history?
As part of our intake, you’ll be asked about your medications, supplements, and any conditions you may be dealing with. While massage therapy helps with many ailments, including the stress of daily living, some conditions are contra-indicated for massage or require adjustments. We need to know about those to ensure your health and comfort. If there is a question or concern, you’ll be the first to know - before your massage. Thank you for being open, honest, and trusting us with your care.
Why are your sessions 75 minutes?
Because 60 minutes never quite feels like enough! In our effort to address your specific needs, simplify things, and allow for a relaxing experience we found that 75 minutes was the perfect spot. Enough time to get a full body massage and also a little extra TLC for that super tense spot or for additional therapeutic work on a problem area.
Do you do couples or group sessions?
For couples sessions, additional effort and planning is required as there is presently only one therapist on staff. Send a request by email and we can make arrangements with enough advanced notice!
Same applies for groups and events. We would love to be a part of your wedding (bridal party before the ceremony?), office gathering, or other event. Send the details and we will be in contact to help come up with a great plan together.
