Therapeutic Massage By Ruth

At Therapeutic Massage by Ruth, we believe that being alive, able, and active is one of life's most precious physical gifts. That's why we're dedicated to helping you feel your best through our therapeutic massage services. We understand that sometimes you might overdo it, sit too long at work, or relax for too long, leading to muscle soreness and tightness. Whatever the cause, we're here to provide relief.

Our Services

We offer a variety of massage therapy services designed to relax muscles, improve circulation, and stretch connective tissue. Here's an overview of the services we provide:

• Massage Therapy: Our signature service, massage therapy involves the manipulation of muscles, skin, and joints to promote relaxation and relieve muscle soreness and tightness. Our standard rates are $40 for a 1/2 hour session and $75 for a 1 hour session.
• Deep Tissue Massage: Ideal for physically active individuals, deep tissue massage provides a deep, strong massage to alleviate tightness and strain.
• Aroma Therapy: Dating back to nearly 4000 BC, aroma therapy uses essential oils derived from plants, roots, flowers, and seeds to promote healing through the stimulation of olfactory nerves and the subsequent mental, circulatory, and respiratory responses to the scents.
• Pre-Natal Massage: Designed specifically for expectant mothers, this massage focuses on lower back, neck, and shoulder pain. Special cushions are used for support and relief from swelling and cramping.

What to Expect

If you've never had therapeutic massage before, here's what to expect:

• Let your therapist know of any medical conditions you may have, or any specific pain you want addressed, or other issues you may be having.
• Your therapist will leave the room while you get comfortable. Lay on the massage table under the sheet provided. (Lay on your stomach unless directed otherwise.)
• Your therapist will knock on the door, and ask if you're ready, and then commence with the massage therapy.
• It's mostly about your comfort and modesty, however most people get therapeutic massage in their underwear. Any good massage therapist is sensitive to modesty and will ensure you're kept covered when it's time to roll over, etc.
• After a massage, it's highly recommended that you drink a bit more water than you normally do. Massage releases toxins from your skin and muscles which need to be flushed.
• Depending on what's been done, most of the time, the next day you may feel a little achy. This is normal, and it goes away.

At some times in our lives it's necessary to receive massage therapy weekly so our muscles can get properly stretched. If you have any concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to ask. A good massage therapist will always be happy to address any concerns you may have.
