EquiVita Massage Experience: The EquiVita Difference

At EQUIVITA, you can expect a well-trained Licensed Massage Therapist who has your care as the center of their concern.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by your therapist in our Cafe. While enjoying a fresh cup of coffee, you will be asked to complete a brief health history form that will determine your current physical condition, medical history, lifestyle, areas of pain, health goals and current need for massage. Our therapists will help you to identify the goals of your massage, whether you are seeking a one-time relaxation experience or if you are integrating massage into your total wellness plan.

A massage from an expert EQUIVITA Licensed Massage Therapist differs from the traditional massage because our therapists are trained to provide the balance between relaxation and therapeutic intervention for each individual. Our Massage Therapists use a wide range of techniques, styles and forms to relieve pain and stress and bring you into a more relaxed state. We have created an environment where you can receive a massage that is tailored to meet your needs within your comfort level.

At EQUIVITA, we recognize massage as a key element to living well, a promising treatment for certain medical conditions, and a powerful means for counteracting stress. Massage therapy is a key component of a balanced life.

Massage for You

Massage for You

Adam Milligan, EquiVita

Massage every 4-6 weeks for everyone.

Our society has only started to realize the benefits of regular massage. Frankly, our approach of treating the body as a machine that only needs “fixed” when it is broken has left too many of us without the tools to understand how to best care for our bodies and to be preventive to many diseases.

Why on a monthly interval?

The body is extremely good at adaptation and will often develop adaptations that will enable performance of actions to be easier–sometimes at our expense. Having someone trained to feel the tissues of your body as a “check-up” can disrupt the biomechanical distortions at the beginning and not after they have developed into hardened and ischemic states.

Musculoskeletal Check-up

Much like other systems of the body, we will not be aware of problems in the musculoskeletal system until they have developed into a state of requiring attention. A Licensed Massage Therapist can find these restrictions before they develop into a problem. Some people consider their monthly massage as a check-up for the musculoskeletal system.

Known Entity

If you aren’t familiar, the phrase “known entity” is used in medicine with the understanding that through a longer relationship a patient can receive better care. A professional that knows you and your body will be better positioned to recognize changes to your body and to help you through any recovery. Regular massage is perfectly suited to create this foundation and EquiVita is a team of professionals that are experienced in putting you first. We specialize in working with people in wide varieties of lifestyles, life goals and needs.

Care of the Self

Aside from the biomechanical preventative and restorative benefits, regular massage can ensure you take time for yourself on a consistent basis. At least once each month, you do something that is just for you and caring for the body that you have.

Surprisingly, many people respond to the idea of taking time for them each month as a luxury. Sad, but true. Time for you is something that should be done far more often than one time each month. If this seems like a lot to you, then you need to develop a plan today. Put yourself as a priority on your schedule and realize the benefits to yourself and to those you care for.
