What Is Massage Therapy at Nava Health?
Massage therapy at Nava Health is a clinical, therapeutic practice designed to manipulate soft tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons, and ligaments) to enhance health and well-being.
Unlike a standard day spa, our approach is data-driven. We understand that a tight neck might be stress, but it could also be a symptom of systemic inflammation or adrenal fatigue. Our therapists utilize a variety of modalities from Deep Tissue and Sports Massage to Myofascial Release customized to address your unique health profile and restore your body’s structural integrity.

Benefits of Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage offers profound benefits that extend far beyond muscle relief.
- Pain Management: Significantly reduces lower back pain, neck stiffness, and tension headaches.
- Stress Reduction: Lowers heart rate and cortisol levels while boosting dopamine and serotonin.
- Improved Circulation: Enhances blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues while flushing out metabolic waste.
- Immune Support: Stimulates the lymphatic system, the body’s natural defense against toxins and pathogens.
- Enhanced Flexibility: Relaxes tight muscles and improves joint range of motion.
- Better Sleep: Promotes deeper, more restorative sleep by regulating the nervous system.
Why These Treatments Work Better Together
Massage therapy amplifies the results of other Nava Health services.
Massage + Acupuncture
This is the ultimate “East meets West” combination for pain. Massage physically manipulates the muscles to release tension, while Acupuncture resets the energy flow and nervous system response. Together, they tackle pain from both the structural and energetic levels.
Massage + Chiropractic Care
Muscles move bones. If your muscles are tight, they can pull your spine out of alignment. Receiving a massage before a chiropractic adjustment loosens the soft tissue, making the adjustment easier, more comfortable, and longer-lasting.
Conditions & Symptoms Massage Therapy May Help
Our clinical massage protocols are effective for a wide range of conditions:
- Chronic Back & Neck Pain: Relieving the tension caused by desk work or poor posture.
- Sports Injuries: Accelerating recovery from strains, sprains, and muscle fatigue.
- Fibromyalgia: Gently reducing pain sensitivity and improving sleep quality.
- Anxiety & Depression: Providing a safe, therapeutic touch to reduce emotional stress.
- Headaches & Migraines: Targeting trigger points in the neck and shoulders that cause referred pain.
- Post-Operative Recovery: Reducing swelling and preventing scar tissue formation (once cleared by a doctor).
Massage Therapy as Part of a Comprehensive Treatment Plan
At Nava Health, massage is a bridge connecting your physical body to your systemic health.
We view massage as a tool to support broader wellness goals. For a patient undergoing Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), massage helps manage the stress that disrupts hormone balance. For someone utilizing Regenerative Medicine for a joint injury, massage ensures the surrounding muscles are loose and healthy, supporting the repair process. It is not just about feeling good for an hour; it is about creating a body that functions optimally all week long.

What Clients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
Generally, no. You can schedule a massage at any time. However, if you are treating a specific medical condition or injury (like an auto accident claim), a referral from a provider may be helpful for insurance reimbursement purposes.
We offer a range of modalities including Swedish (for relaxation and circulation), Deep Tissue (for chronic tension and knots), Sports Massage (for performance and recovery), and Myofascial Release. Your therapist will recommend the best style for your needs.
Deep tissue work targets the inner layers of muscle and fascia. While you may feel some intensity or “good pain” as knots are released, it should never be unbearable. Our therapists prioritize communication, you are always in control of the pressure.
For general stress management, once a month is a great maintenance routine. However, if you are dealing with chronic pain, injury recovery, or high stress, we may recommend weekly or bi-weekly sessions until your symptoms improve.
Yes, but please let us know in advance when you book. We offer specialized prenatal massage designed to safely relieve the unique aches and pains of pregnancy. Note: We typically recommend waiting until after the first trimester.
