Our Values/Mission Statement

Here at Good Medicine Massage we believe that massage is more than just a luxury; it is an integral part of your health and well-being. Massage is non-invasive and natural so it is a safe remedy for muscle strains, chronic pain, injuries, and headaches.  It is also effective at relieving stress, insomnia, migraines, anxiety and depression.  Massage is a great form of preventative care, since it helps increase circulation, improves your range of motion and increases your flexibility.  Whether your issues stem from sitting at a desk all day, an old sports injury or a recent car accident, therapeutic massage will help bring relief, balance and wellness back into your life.

The atmosphere here at Good Medicine Massage is warm, welcoming and serene. Perfect for individuals who want to relax and relieve any soreness, tension or pain they may be feeling.  Our goal is to keep massage affordable and therapeutic so it can be a part of your every day maintenance and not just reserved for special occasions.  Life is too short to live in pain! So let Good Medicine Massage help you… Relax. Relieve. Rejuvenate.
