The basic massage given by all therapists at the Base Fitness Center is the Swedish, or relaxation, massage. Sports massage Sports massages are like the Swedish, but are designed to get muscles warmed up and to get athletes ready for competitions and workouts. Therapeutic massage Therapeutic massages are specifically for rehabilitation of muscles, re-educating them as necessary and getting them to work properly. Several procedures are included in therapeutic massages, which all therapists specialize in, including neuromuscular and deep tissue massage, and trigger point release. A new, modern massage room has been designed in the new fitness center.
All massages are usually an hour long, although shorter or longer times can be arranged.
Everyone receiving a massage may disrobe just to their comfort level, and they are always draped professionally. Senior discounts are available for age 55 and older. People may make appointments with specific therapists or may make appointments for particular days and times that are most convenient. Payment by cash, check, VISA or MasterCard must be made at the time appointments are made. Rick Crawford is a licensed massage therapist and certified neuromuscular therapist, and offers prenatal massage, neuromuscular therapy, sports, Swedish and chair massages.
