Therapeutic bodywork is more than just relaxation—it’s a pathway to improved health and well-being. Our expert therapists focus on alleviating tension, reducing pain, and promoting deep physical and mental relaxation. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, improving athletic performance, prioritizing recovery, or simply seeking a deeper connection to your incredible body, we tailor each session to your unique needs.
Our sessions are fully customized with therapeutic massage, assisted stretching techniques and/or corrective exercises tailored to your body’s needs that day. A postural assessment is conducted during intake to develop your plan of care that includes community referrals and home care recommendations- so you can keep improving outside of the studio. Enhancement modalities are selected during your session based on your current goals.
How Our Sessions Work
Enhancement Modalities
-
Application of therapeutic tape on the body to gently allow the free flow of blood and lymphatic fluid to cleanse and heal inflamed areas. Increases circulation and speeds up injury healing.
-
Relax with the therapeutic touch of heated stones applied to the body. Always to your heat tolerance. Research shows that heat relaxes our nervous system- which improves the muscles ability to receive healing. This can also improve the tolerance of deeper tissue massage.
-
Botanical based (Arnica or Hemp) non-psychoactive oil used on areas of deep pain to reduce inflammation.
-
Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy where small plastic cups of various sizes are applied to the body using a suction technique. The suction increases blood flow to the area when the cup is removed which can cause sensations of pain relief, increased circulation & stimulate a myofascial response in the body.
-
Red Light Therapy stimulates the regeneration of cells which can improve circulation. Other potential benefits include: reduction of inflammation of the skin, increased collagen production, increase sleep quality, ease muscle pain and repair tissue.
Every session receives the full scheduled appointment time in hands-on bodywork. Whether you book 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes—each of those minutes is devoted to your hands-on therapy. We take pride in not short-changing your time.

Client Reviews
“I love it here! I’ve been getting massages from Steven for ~6 months now, and look forward to every appointment! Between CrossFit, running and typical daily life stress, I can walk in needing any combination of things, and Steven always accommodates. I also love that he strikes a balance of massage therapy in a spa-like setting so you get the best of both worlds. Highly recommend Flying Falcon!”

“I left my massage feeling absolutely euphoric! Steven was a great listener and understood my needs, taking a holistic approach of looking to understand my lifestyle (for me- working from home and attending yoga/cycle classes), and tailoring his varied methods of massage and healing accordingly. He was happy to answer my many questions and model stretches that I could practice at home for maintenance. Steven's kindness and knowledge were comforting and impressive! Can't wait for my next session!”
— Nikki D.
I was fortunate enough to meet Anna Rose and Steven at a post-race for a half marathon. That massage and stretching definitely sped up my recovery. I decided to take advantage of the savings on a 5 session package for massage and assisted stretching. This is now a regular part of my maintenance routine as it is helping me with mobility, recovery, and overall feeling great.
