We offer medical massage therapy by board-certified therapist, Sue Peterson, CMT #1039. This therapy provides natural, holistic solutions for ailments from headaches to creaky shoulders in a warm, nurturing environment. Medical massage therapy combines many popular massage styles -sports, deep-tissue, lymph drainage, trigger point, myofascial release and Swedish, to name a few - to solve problems and help you feel your best.
Recovery from surgery to remove loose fat and tighten muscles in the abdomen isn't easy. Massage using deep lymph drainage and scar revision and remodeling can help. Traditional lymphatic therapy accelerates lymph drainage in the entire body There is much debate about what type of lymph massage helps during recovery, and Sue brings both the traditional and newer aesthetic methods together.
Sports Massage Therapies goal is to to address specific injuries, aches and pains and to treat the muscles and joints primary to one's sport or activity. Sports Massage Therapy is a preventative therapy and treatment option targeting athletes and exercise enthusiasts. Sports Massage Therapy focuses on tissue and muscle health, along with balance, proper posture, range of motion, and even more.
If you're suffering from stiffness and pain that cannot be solved from a Swedish Massage, then perhaps Deep Tissue Massage Therapy is the answer for you. During a Deep Tissue Massage the pressure is stronger and much more concentrated on the problematic areas which may lead to better relief of discomfort.
Every area of the body has a drainage system that draws fluids to be recycled or flushed from tissues. Lymph is like a wave - unseen and efficient until an accident, condition or surgery makes it sluggish or backlogged. Slowed lymph leads to swelling and is known to effect the immune system. The lymphatic system, a sister circulatory system to the cardiovascular, plays a crucial role in our body's ability to ward off disease, heal from injury, and detoxify.Lymphatic drainage massage is a form of massage that helps stimulate the lymphatic system and encourages the flow of lymph fluid.

As an informed consumer of body work for decades, I will only work with people like Sue who have a 'masters level' education in multiple modalities. She is technically well versed in anatomy, energy, disease, nutrition.everything body related. This translates to a gifted blend of art and science as she works with you to deliver flow, relaxation, pain release, wellness. Priceless.

I've had about four 2-hour appointments with Sue. I'm always amazed at the knowledge and experience she brings to bear on all of my physical issues. Always helpful and teaches me new things during each visit, like how to stretch to avoid sciatic issues. Friendly, skilled, and knowledgeable - highly recommended.

Sue is the best massage therapist I have every had. She had great energy, does aromatherapy, and knows the body - she is a true pro. I go in with a headache and walk out without one - it's a miracle! The price and quality cannot be beat. I have been seeing Sue for 3+ years once a month with a fancy spa massage here and there - always disappointed with the fancy spas and wished I had spent that time at Loosen Up instead.
