Restore Balance. Relieve Pain. Support Healing.
At Sage Health, massage therapy is an essential part of our integrative care approach. Whether you're seeking relief from chronic pain, recovering from injury, or simply needing to relax and reset, our massage therapy services are designed to meet you where you are—and help you feel better, faster.

Why Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy works in harmony with chiropractic and acupuncture to relax the nervous system, release muscular tension, and help the body hold alignment. As Dr. Kirsten Sage, D.C., L.Ac., says:
“It’s not just the muscles or bones—it’s the stress in the nervous system. We need to address healing from all angles.”
At Sage Health, we offer both therapeutic massage therapy for clinical care and relaxation massage therapy to support nervous system regulation and whole-body wellness.
