Massage Therapy
Medical massage therapy focuses on treating pain, injuries, and dysfunction at the source. Sessions are customized based on your condition, movement patterns, and medical goals. This approach is ideal for chronic pain, post-injury recovery, and clients working alongside chiropractors, physical therapists, or physicians.
Sports massage therapy is built for active bodies. Whether you’re training hard, competing, or recovering from overuse, this service helps reduce muscle tightness, improve range of motion, and speed recovery. Great for athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone who demands more from their body.
Deep tissue massage targets stubborn muscle tension, adhesions, and chronic tightness that lighter techniques can’t reach. Pressure is applied with purpose, not guesswork, to restore movement and reduce long-standing discomfort. This is not a “fluffy” massage — it’s effective, focused work.
Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy addresses postural imbalances that cause pain and dysfunction throughout the body. By correcting muscle imbalances and joint misalignment, this technique helps relieve chronic pain, improve posture, and restore natural movement patterns.
Red light therapy supports cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and promotes faster recovery. It’s commonly used alongside hands-on treatment to enhance healing, decrease soreness, and support long-term tissue health.
The Graston Technique® uses specialized stainless steel instruments to break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. This method is highly effective for tendon injuries, chronic pain, limited mobility, and post-surgical recovery. Expect results — and real change — not temporary relief.

What Our Customers Say About Us
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes Massage Ninja different from a typical massage studio?
Massage Ninja specializes in medical and corrective massage, not relaxation spa services. Every session is focused on identifying the source of pain or dysfunction and treating it with proven techniques. This is hands-on, results-driven work designed to improve mobility, reduce pain, and support long-term recovery.
Is this massage going to hurt?
Some techniques involve deeper pressure or targeted work, which can feel intense at times. That said, treatment is always adjusted to your tolerance. The goal is effective therapy, not unnecessary pain. Many clients feel soreness afterward, followed by noticeable improvement.
Who is a medical massage for?
Medical massage is ideal for people dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, postural issues, limited mobility, or recovery from surgery or accidents. It’s also a great fit for athletes and active individuals who want to prevent injuries and improve performance.
Do I need a referral from a doctor?
No referral is required. However, if you’re working with a physician, chiropractor, or physical therapist, treatments can be coordinated to support your overall recovery plan.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your condition and goals. Some clients notice improvement after one session, while others benefit from a short series of treatments. After your first visit, you’ll have a clear recommendation based on your body’s response.
Is this a relaxing massage?
This work goes beyond relaxation. While many clients do feel relief and calm afterward, sessions are designed primarily to correct issues, restore movement, and reduce pain, not just provide temporary relaxation.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Your first session starts with a brief discussion about your pain, movement limitations, and goals. Treatment is then tailored specifically to your needs. You may also receive guidance on movement, posture, or self-care to support your results between sessions.
Do you work with athletes?
Yes. Sports massage and corrective therapy are commonly used by athletes, bodybuilders, runners, and active professionals. Treatment focuses on recovery, performance, and injury prevention.
Do you accept insurance?
Massage Ninja does not bill insurance directly. Many clients choose medical massage as a self-pay service for faster access and more personalized care. If you have an HSA or FSA, it may be eligible. Check with your provider.
