Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is one of the most widely recognized forms of massage therapy. It uses smooth, flowing techniques, gentle to moderate pressure, kneading, and rhythmic movements to help calm the nervous system and reduce muscular tension.

At The FIXX, Swedish massage is ideal for clients looking for a full-body reset. It can be used for general relaxation, stress reduction, muscle soreness, circulation support, and everyday aches caused by work, posture, activity, or busy life demands.

While Swedish massage is often thought of as a relaxation treatment, it can still be very therapeutic. Your therapist can adjust the pressure, pace, and focus areas depending on what your body needs that day. Some clients come in for pure relaxation, while others use Swedish massage as part of regular self-care to manage tension before it becomes a bigger issue.

This treatment may be a good fit if you are feeling stressed, run down, tense, overstimulated, or simply in need of a calm, restorative treatment that helps the whole body unwind.

Deep tissue massage is a focused therapeutic treatment designed to address deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is commonly used for chronic tension, stubborn muscle tightness, restricted movement, and areas that feel dense, stuck, or overworked.

At The FIXX, deep tissue massage is clinical and specific. It is not about pushing as hard as possible or creating unnecessary discomfort. Instead, we use slower, more deliberate techniques to work into areas of tension while staying within your tolerance. The goal is effective treatment, not a wrestling match with your nervous system.

Deep tissue massage may be helpful for clients dealing with neck and shoulder tension, low back tightness, hip discomfort, repetitive strain, postural stress, sports-related muscle tension, or physically demanding work. It can also be useful when certain muscles seem to keep tightening up no matter how much stretching or self-care you try.

Your treatment may include focused pressure, trigger point work, myofascial techniques, stretching, mobility-based work, and practical recommendations for home care. When appropriate, we may also help identify movement patterns, postural habits, or overuse issues that may be contributing to the problem.

Shiatsu is a Japanese bodywork therapy that uses rhythmic pressure, gentle stretching, compression, and focused contact to support balance throughout the body. Traditionally, Shiatsu is rooted in Eastern wellness principles and works with the body’s energy pathways, while also having a very real physical effect on muscles, joints, and the nervous system.

Unlike oil-based massage, Shiatsu is often performed through clothing and uses palm, thumb, and bodyweight pressure along specific areas of the body. The treatment can feel grounding, calming, and deeply restorative.

At The FIXX, Shiatsu may be a great option for clients who want a therapeutic treatment that does not feel like a traditional massage. It can support stress relief, general body tension, fatigue, stiffness, and a sense of overall imbalance.

Many clients choose Shiatsu when they feel physically tense but also mentally overloaded. It has a quieter, more meditative rhythm than some other forms of massage, making it an excellent choice for people who need their whole system to settle.

Prenatal massage is designed to support the body through the physical changes of pregnancy. As the body adapts, many clients experience tension in the low back, hips, glutes, legs, shoulders, neck, and upper back. Prenatal massage can help ease muscular discomfort, reduce stress, and create a greater sense of comfort during pregnancy.

At The FIXX, prenatal massage is adapted for safety, positioning, and comfort. Proper support is used throughout the treatment so you can relax without strain. Pressure, positioning, and techniques are adjusted depending on your stage of pregnancy, comfort level, and specific concerns.

Prenatal massage may be helpful for pregnancy-related back discomfort, hip tension, leg heaviness, shoulder and neck tightness, general fatigue, and stress. It can also be a valuable part of regular pregnancy self-care, especially as postural changes and sleep challenges begin to add up.

This treatment is gentle, supportive, and focused on helping you feel more comfortable in a body that is doing a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes.

Our 20-minute Quick FIXX treatments are short, targeted sessions designed for one specific area of concern. These are ideal when you do not need a full massage but want focused attention on a problem area.

Quick FIXX treatments are direct, efficient, and problem-focused. They are great for busy clients, maintenance visits, or those moments when one part of the body is clearly waving a tiny red flag.

The Foot FIXX is a focused 20-minute treatment for tired, sore, or overworked feet. This treatment targets the muscles, fascia, and soft tissues of the feet and may also include work into the lower legs when appropriate.

This is a great option for clients who spend long hours standing, walking, working on hard surfaces, training, or dealing with general foot fatigue. It may also be helpful for people who experience tight arches, sore heels, calf tension, or that heavy, achy feeling after a long day.

At The FIXX, the Foot FIXX is designed to help reduce tension, support circulation, and bring relief to an area that often carries far more load than it gets credit for. Feet are the unsung stagehands of the body. When they are unhappy, everything upstairs knows about it.

This treatment can be booked on its own or used as a focused add-on style visit when your feet need specific attention.

The Neck FIXX is a targeted 20-minute treatment focused on the neck, upper shoulders, and base of the skull. It is ideal for clients dealing with stiffness, desk tension, stress-related tightness, reduced neck mobility, or tension that builds from long hours at a computer, driving, phone use, or poor sleep positions.

This treatment may include work through the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, suboccipitals, cervical paraspinals, and surrounding shoulder muscles. These areas often work together, which is why neck tension can feel like it spreads into the shoulders, upper back, or head.

At The FIXX, the Neck FIXX is designed to get right to the source of the issue. The goal is to reduce muscle tension, improve comfort, and support easier movement without needing a full-length massage appointment.

This is a strong option when your neck feels locked up, heavy, compressed, or like it has quietly turned into a coat hanger.

The TMJ FIXX is a focused 20-minute treatment for jaw tension and the muscles surrounding the jaw, face, temples, scalp, and upper neck. It may be helpful for clients who experience jaw tightness, clenching, grinding, facial tension, headaches, or discomfort around the jaw joint.

TMJ-related tension often involves more than the jaw itself. The muscles of the face, neck, shoulders, and base of the skull can all contribute to the pattern. Stress, sleep position, dental clenching, posture, and long-term tension can all play a role.

At The FIXX, the TMJ FIXX uses careful, specific soft tissue techniques to address the muscles involved in jaw movement and tension patterns. Treatment may include work around the jaw, cheeks, temples, scalp, neck, and upper shoulders depending on your presentation and comfort level.

This treatment is ideal when the jaw is the main concern and you want a focused, efficient appointment.

TMJ services at The FIXX are designed for clients experiencing jaw tension, clenching, grinding, facial tightness, headaches, and neck tension related to jaw dysfunction. TMJ issues can be surprisingly disruptive because the jaw is involved in talking, chewing, expression, sleep habits, stress patterns, and even posture.

Our TMJ-focused care may be provided through the 20-minute TMJ FIXX or incorporated into a longer massage therapy treatment. A longer session may be appropriate when jaw symptoms are connected to neck tension, shoulder tightness, headaches, upper back stiffness, or stress-related holding patterns.

Treatment may include soft tissue work for the jaw muscles, facial muscles, temples, scalp, neck, and upper shoulders. We may also discuss simple self-care strategies, awareness of clenching habits, breathing patterns, posture, and when appropriate, referral to a dentist or other health professional.

The goal is not just to rub the jaw and hope for the best. The goal is to understand the pattern, reduce unnecessary tension, and help the area function more comfortably.

The FIXX also offers acupuncture and holistic wellness treatments that support whole-body care, relaxation, and nervous system regulation. These services may be helpful for clients looking to address stress, tension, headaches, fatigue, digestive concerns, allergies, fertility support, immunity support, or general wellness.

Our acupuncture and wellness treatments take a broader view of the body. Rather than only focusing on one tight muscle or sore spot, these therapies consider how different systems may be connected.

Acupuncture is a core treatment within Traditional Chinese Medicine. It uses very fine needles placed at specific points on the body to help stimulate the body’s natural regulatory systems, support circulation, reduce tension, and encourage balance.

Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the body as an interconnected system. A concern such as headaches, digestive discomfort, stress, sleep disruption, or muscle tension may be explored through a broader lens that considers patterns, lifestyle, energy, and overall function.

At The FIXX, acupuncture may be used to support a wide range of concerns, including muscle tension, headaches, stress, allergies, digestive issues, fertility support, immune function, and general wellness. Many clients also find acupuncture deeply calming, even when they originally booked for a physical concern.

A typical acupuncture treatment may include a short intake, discussion of your main concern, point selection, needle placement, and a quiet resting period while the treatment takes effect. The experience is often much more relaxing than people expect. Tiny needles, big exhale energy.

Cupping is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that uses suction cups to gently lift and decompress the soft tissues. Instead of pressing down into tight muscles, cupping creates a lifting effect that can help improve local circulation, reduce tension, and create a sense of release through the muscles and fascia.

Cupping is commonly used for back, neck, shoulder, and hip tension. It may be a good option for clients who feel tight, heavy, restricted, or like certain muscles just will not let go.

At The FIXX, cupping may be used as a stand-alone treatment or combined with other therapies. The suction can be adjusted depending on your comfort and treatment goals. Some clients prefer a lighter, more relaxing style, while others benefit from more focused therapeutic cupping.

Cupping can leave temporary circular marks on the skin. These marks are common and usually fade over time. They are not bruises in the usual sense, but they can look dramatic, like your back briefly joined a secret moon-circle society.

Reiki is a gentle, calming energy-based treatment designed to support relaxation, grounding, and emotional balance. It is non-invasive and often chosen by clients who feel stressed, overwhelmed, depleted, or in need of a quieter treatment experience.

During Reiki, the client rests comfortably while the practitioner uses gentle hand placements or works just above the body. The treatment is not forceful or physically intense. Instead, it creates space for the body and mind to settle.

At The FIXX, Reiki may be a good option for clients looking for deep relaxation, nervous system support, emotional reset, or a peaceful complement to more physical therapies. It is especially well suited for people who feel like their stress has been running the control room for too long.

Reiki is about slowing down, softening the edges, and giving the body permission to rest.

A sound bath is a deeply relaxing wellness experience that uses soothing tones, vibration, and sound to help calm the mind and body. Clients rest comfortably while therapeutic sounds create a meditative environment.

Sound baths may support stress relief, relaxation, mental quiet, emotional reset, and nervous system downshifting. They can be especially helpful for people who feel overstimulated, mentally busy, anxious, or simply tired from carrying too much for too long.

At The FIXX, sound baths are designed to create a peaceful, immersive experience. You do not need to “do” anything during the session. The goal is to rest, listen, breathe, and allow the body to shift into a calmer state.

This is a beautiful treatment for anyone who needs a full-system pause button.

Our combination treatments bring together physical, energetic, and sound-based therapies for a deeper and more layered experience. These sessions are designed for clients who want more than one type of support in a single appointment.

Acupuncture with sound bath combines the therapeutic principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the calming effects of sound therapy. The acupuncture portion uses specific points to support balance and regulation, while the sound bath creates a relaxing environment that helps the nervous system settle.

This treatment may be helpful for clients seeking stress relief, relaxation, energetic balance, sleep support, or a more meditative acupuncture experience.

The combination works beautifully because acupuncture provides the focused therapeutic input, while the sound bath supports a deeper state of rest. It is structured, calming, and restorative all at once.

Cupping with sound bath combines soft tissue decompression with deep relaxation. The cupping portion focuses on areas of muscular tension and restriction, while the sound bath helps create a calm, grounded treatment experience.

This may be a good choice for clients who feel physically tight and mentally overloaded. The body gets targeted release, while the mind gets a quieter place to land!

At The FIXX, this treatment is ideal for clients who want the physical benefits of cupping but also want the session to feel more restorative and less purely clinical.

Reiki with sound bath combines gentle energy work with therapeutic sound to create a deeply calming and restorative session. Reiki supports relaxation and energetic balance, while the sound bath adds layers of soothing vibration and meditative sound.

This treatment is ideal for clients looking to unwind, reset, and reconnect with a sense of calm. It is less about chasing one specific muscle knot and more about helping the whole system settle.

For clients dealing with stress, fatigue, emotional heaviness, or nervous system overload, Reiki with sound bath can offer a quiet and supportive treatment experience.

Every client comes to The FIXX for a different reason. Some people need focused clinical work for a stubborn area. Some need full-body massage. Some need help managing stress. Others are looking for acupuncture, cupping, energy work, or a calming sound-based treatment.
