Pain, particularly chronic pain, can alter a person’s life dramatically. Currently there is a movement in medicine to reduce the number of prescriptions of narcotic pain killers for chronic pain because of addiction, misuse, or both. On top of that, over the counter medicines for pain can have serious side effects that leave people unable to utilize them. While we do believe in medicine, we believe in using as little as possible. If a person is taking a certain amount of medicine per day, but can get that amount cut in half, or more, then the negative effects of that medicine can be reduced as a result. We also believe that every person we see should already have had a thorough medical workup in order to determine the cause of the problem. While we can work with an undiagnosed individual, we will be diligent to refer out if we uncover any “red flags” or if the person does not respond favorably to therapy in a few visits. It is of utmost importance to know what is going on before attempting to treat it in case the cause of the pain is coming from something more serious. Our goal is to provide a service that compliments medical treatment, not to warn against it.

While both massage and myotherapy can be used to help with discomfort that arises from the soft tissue, myotherapy is typically a better choice for sub-acute (30 days – 3 months) and chronic issues (3 – 6 months and longer) while massage tends to lend itself as better suited for acute issues. There are, however, exceptions to this rule and, in the years we have been providing these services, we have found the best way to decide is to try both. Some people even come in for both services. Many of those people have one of our massage memberships which allows them to receive a discount on their service for committing to a minimum of one massage per month. Under these plans, a 10% discount on myotherapy services is applied as a perk of membership.

In addition to massage and myotherapy, we offer skin care services (currently only in our Greensburg location.) Those services include facials, microdermabrasion, Intense pulsed light (IPL), and waxing. We use an all natural product line from Hungary called Eminence Organic Skin Care. These are some of the finest skin care products available and we are excited to have found them and have them for sale. The manufacturer keeps true to their word in provided a completely chemical free product and our clients love it. Even the product seals are organic as they use a sugar based binding rather than a chemical adhesive. Come in and give it a try and we are sure you will love it as well!
