Functional Muscle Manipulation
Who comes inDeveloped by George Rodafinos in 1989, the FMM is a neuromuscular technique that goes deeper than deep tissue — without pain. Instead of forcing contracted muscles to release, we communicate with your sympathetic nervous system to convince it to let go. You learn a breathing technique that connects you to your defensive muscles — a tool that stays with you after the work is done.
More ways we work with the body
Every session is built on the same principle — regulate the nervous system, and the body does the healing. Four more services, each with its own purpose.
Functional Sports Massage
Advanced sports massage built on our FMM technique. We release chronic contraction patterns so your body responds to effort with the right muscle focus — not compensate with muscles locked in defense. Less aggressive than traditional sports massage, and aimed at the contraction pattern, not just the symptom. Includes our signature breathwork technique.
New clients: 55 min $160 · 70 min $205 (FMM first-session rates apply).

Takes relaxation to another level by working with the vagus nerve — central to emotional balance, deep relaxation, and the body's own regulation. Through effleurage, diaphragmatic release, gentle compression, and foot reflexology, plus a curated essential-oil blend (Lavender, Cedarwood, Bergamot, Roman Chamomile). You also learn vagus-nerve breathing — a lifelong tool.
Reflexology
Works with the body through reflex points on the feet, hands, and ears. We use it for acute pain — working through the reflex map rather than the painful area itself — for regulation of the autonomic nervous system, and as support in PTSD recovery.
Manual Lymph Drainage
A medical massage technique. We hold full MLD certification and specialize in releasing lymph congestion in the skull — the pattern behind sinusitis. In our practice, a course has run as few as 2 sessions and rarely more than 8 (best done daily or as close together as possible). Soft, pleasurable, and deeply relaxing — and the goal is resolution, not an open-ended series.
Resolve, then maintain
Two phases, one continuum — resolution first, then maintenance.
Resolve
The FMM aims at the root pattern and teaches you a breathing technique for self-regulation — the goal is resolution, not management.
Maintain
An FMM session every month or two — a periodic reset designed to protect what you've gained.
