Wellness Services

At A Noticed Difference, our clients are looking for an added therapy that minimizes and relieves their muscle aches so they can get back to doing what they need and want to do pain free and stress free! Being 100% realistic, we understand stress is part of everyones daily life, however, we refuse to accept the idea that you HAVE TO STAY in a negative stress response that restricts your mobility and heightens your anxiety.

We also understand, you need to be in a state of mind and physical place that supports your long term wellness success! The problem is, we live in such a world where chaos, demands, and overwhelm ensues on a regular basis, so you find yourself at a loss on how to even begin achieving this “calm” state of being. Much less on a regular basis!

We understand how “the struggle” of the day to day grind keeps you locked in a pattern of muscle tension, muscle pain, stress and the never ending anxiety.

But how do we help you achieve this state of being that is so much more favorable to your overall health. I know it sounds far fetched to some, but in all reality this state of optimal health and well being with ease of movement and minimized muscle aches and pains does exist! And we would love the opportunity to show you how!

We start the process with an introductory type massage session where we get to know you and how your body moves… or doesn’t move, and where your hang ups and hold backs are. I.e. this is where you tell us you have that ongoing shoulder pain from sitting too long at the computer or your back hurts from leaning forward all the time, etc.

Maybe you just feel tension all over, and have that uncomfortable sensation of “weight” throughout your body that hurts after a certain period of time. But you’ve had the sore muscle or back looked at and nothing is “technically” wrong with you?!? So what on earth is going on here?

Let me start by saying the pain and sensation of discomfort and overall malaise is very real, you’re not crazy. You see, your brain and your nervous system are powerful parts of your body. And they control how you perceive the world around you. So if your focus is on all the demands around you, and you feel as if you have no room to breathe, then your muscles WILL respond by tightening and restricting your movements. Which further sends you over the edge thinking, how in the world did I start with just these extra demands from work and now I can’t move my shoulder…ahhhhh!!! 

It’s truly maddening, but here’s the best part. This stress, this chaos, this muscle tension, this ensuing muscular pain is soooooo manageable, and workable with our Therapeutic Massage Sessions!

With each subsequent Therapeutic Massage Session, you are gently reminding your body that practicing time away from the busy phones, the non stop emails, the family demands, the late hours at work, the chronic condition you’ve been walking around with, can be managed and lessened each day. You are allowing your therapist to apply an informed touch and Therapeutic Approach that teaches your body and brain, you don’t have to be stressed out and in pain all the time. Improving your wellness does exist and is possible!

Watching each client improve is quite mesmerizing and beautiful when we get to see our clients walk out of their massage appointment rotating their head around, reaching overhead, and picking up an item off the floor with no pain and far less stress and anxiety than when they came in.

These Therapeutic outcomes are not only profoundly impactful, but incredibly effective in our Therapeutic Massage environment to achieve greater mobility with more peace and ease in your daily life!

As overrated as relaxation may sound, or seem, if you just allow yourself a taste of what relief and relaxation feels like, we promise you’ll be hooked for life!

We have found the best results both on the table and off the table come from those clients who engage in their own form of self care. Now before you go off thinking self care is some crazy unrealistic idea that can’t possibly be attained or only reserved for those individuals who have “time” to take care of themselves (i.e. I’ll do it when I’m retired, or I’ll do it later), oh boy you are deeply mistaken. 

Self care is crucial to achieving any form of long term  success with regards to your overall health and wellness. Self care can be any of the following (but not limited to):

Regular movement/exercise

Proper nutrition and hydration

Adequate sleep

Mindfulness and meditation

Regular social engagements and social boundaries

Traveling the world and experiencing new perspectives

The beautiful part of our work is we see our clients get to experience all of the above with much more peace and ease within themselves, simply because they are not trapped by their soft tissue pains and stressors any longer.

Of course, with any type of soft tissue pain and in each Therapeutic Massage session, we do our best not to induce any additional discomfort while massaging the tissue. Please be advised there may be some discomfort while working on the painful area. Relaxation is intended with ALL of our sessions, however, it is important to remember when addressing an acute or chronic muscle knot, the long term sensation of relaxation usually comes AFTER the soft tissue has been massaged.

Please also remember, each therapist has unique training experience in addressing the soft tissue. While the massage application may look slightly different between therapists, rest assured you will receive an exceptional outcome with each Therapeutic Massage. So when your ready to break free from the muscle pain and the daily stressors that keep holding you back, be sure to give us a call to see how we can best serve you in meeting your health and wellness goals!

We are so excited to meet you and to help you experience A Noticed Difference in your next Therapeutic Massage session.
