Our Licensed Massage Therapist, Andrew, is pleased to offer his massage therapy skills and experiences to anyone seeking to reduce pain and improve their sense of wellbeing.
Andrew received his B.S. in Physiology of Exercise from Ohio University and went on to complete the Medical Massage Therapy program at Hocking College.
In addition to his massage therapy practice, Andrew has professional experience as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, which has helped inform his massage style.
Andrew's preferred massage techniques include Swedish Massage, Trigger Point Search and Release, Deep Tissue Work, Pin and Stretch, Unilateral Press Stroking, Cupping, and Active/Passive Range-of-Motion Movements.
Andrew currently offers massage services at WellWorks during the following days/times:
Amanda received her Massage Therapy license in 2013 from Everest in Tampa Florida.
Amanda carefully listens to her client’s description of what's wrong and will then follow the paths of the muscle to find the origin of the problem.
Amanda offers Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and pre-natal massage. She also offers hot stones, cupping, and reflexology.
Amanda's schedule has weekly availability Monday-Friday.
WellWorks is currently offering 60 and 90 minute massage appointments. Our Wellness Center staff carefully clean and disinfect all tools utilized for massage services following each massage. We are committed to offering our clients a comfortable and safe experience at our wellness center.
Massages can be purchased and scheduled online, over the phone (740.593.2093) or in-person at our front desk in Grover Center E124, Athens Ohio.
Our most popular massage option, the 60 minute massage is designed to allow clients the time they need to have problem areas addressed while also achieving a state of relaxation. A 60 minute massage can support healing or relaxation, and can enhance physical performance when performed routinely. Clients are encouraged to share specific problem areas they wish to have addressed during their session.
Cost: $65
Those seeking relief from pain or wishing to increase range of motion and mobility are encouraged to book a 90 minute massage. The increased time will allow the massage therapist to better identify the root issue of pain and address the issue through a variety of modalities, as needed. An increased sense of relief and relaxation can be achieved during this longer massage experience.
Cost: $95
with 60 or 90 minute massage:
Cupping Therapy is a practice in which cups are placed on the client's body in strategic locations where the client wishes to address pain, inflammation, or blood flow concerns. The therapist then adds suction to the cups, allowing toxins to be brought to the skin where they are more easily removed. While the cups are in place, the therapist will massage other areas of the body, allowing for more body work to be accomplished in a shorter frame of time.
Clients will experience varying levels of circular marks on their skin post-massage and are encouraged to hydrate before and after the massage to maximize the therapy's benefits. Those taking blood thinners, are pregnant, or experiencing any health issues should consult with their physician before participating in Cupping Therapy.
Cost: $90 (60 minute), $120 (90 minute)
with 60 or 90 minute Massage:
Hot stone for athletic recovery is an excellent way to more effectively warm up the fascia, allowing for a deeper, more beneficial recovery massage. The therapist incorporates the hot stones by using them as a massaging tool to address tight muscles and increase mobility.
Looking for a more relaxing experience? Hot stones can do that, too! The stones can, instead, be simply placed on the client's body (pictured) in strategic locations to allow for a comforting, warming effect during a traditional massage.
Clients may experience a quick release of body heat after a hot stone massage and are encouraged to bring an extra layer of clothing to wear post-massage.
Cost: $90 (60 minute), $120 (90 minute)
Andrew is now offering a specialty massage called Coining.
With Coining, also known as Gua Sha or Scraping, the therapist uses a tool with a blunt edge to apply short, firm and repeated strokes along the length of the tissues needing treatment.
Coining is known to reduce pain, muscle stiffness & inflammation, increase mobility, stimulate the immune system, stretch muscle & fascia, promote healthy circulation of muscles and organs, and increase micro-perfusion of surface tissues.
Like Cupping, Coining often leaves a temporary, reddish discoloration of the skin that may last 3-10 days after treatment. Though this may resemble bruising, it is not. There is no damage to the tissues. Clients are encouraged to hydrate well before and after treatment, and to keep discolored skin out of direct sunlight until the color fades.
Cost: $90 (60 minutes) and $120 (90 minutes)
Amanda is now offering prenatal massage.
A prenatal massage can help to alleviate pain and stiffness that can occur in different areas of the body during pregnancy. It can also support improved circulation and mood while reducing stress and pain.
A prenatal massage experience is similar to regular massage with adjustments made for body placement, comfort and safety.
This type of specialty massage will help to relieve tension in both the muscles and the mind.
Regular prenatal massages during pregnancy may reduce pain and swelling, improve mood and make for an easier delivery.
Cost: $65 (60 minutes) and $95 (90 minutes)
