“Massage is the scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the body” (Tappan) and “these manipulations are most effectively performed with the hands.” (Beard) Massage is also a dance of the hands upon the body with the intent of nurturing or healing the mind, body and spirit of a human being.” (Horn)

At IPT, we offer general and relaxing full body massage. We also offer very specific, deeper massage. Some of the techniques we use are myofascial release, cross-tissue, deep transverse friction, skin rolling, compression, effleurage (long relaxing strokes) and petrissage (kneading).

We also offer on-site chair massage for work or special functions.
