We offer a diverse range of western and eastern massage styles, including Swedish, Aromatherapy, Hot Stone, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, Thai, Pregnancy/Prenatal, Reflexology, and Sports Massage. Each is tailored to meet specific wellness goals, from deep relaxation to targeted muscle recovery.

Massage is more than a physical luxury; it helps regulate hormones by increasing serotonin (the "happy" chemical) and decreasing cortisol (the stress hormone). By slowing a racing heart rate and unclenching muscles, massage allows the body to enter a relaxed state conducive to deep, restorative sleep.

Yes. Research indicates that massage can be a beneficial part of an integrative plan for fibromyalgia. It may help reduce pain, increase the quality and duration of sleep, and lower cortisol levels, which helps address the stiffness and fatigue often associated with the condition.

Both are performed fully clothed and focus on energy balance. Shiatsu uses localized pressure with fingers and hands on acupressure points to regain balance. Thai massage is more energizing and involves assisted yoga-like stretching and pressing movements to improve flexibility and range of motion.

For runners and fitness enthusiasts, massage softens tendons, ligaments, and fascia to prevent injury and boost recovery. For those starting a new routine, it addresses the muscle soreness that often discourages consistency, helping you maintain your exercise habits by reducing physical discomfort.

Yes. By focusing on the suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull—which work constantly to balance the head—therapists can apply specific pressure to release the tension that often triggers migraines and cluster headaches.

Aromatherapy uses essential oils to enhance emotional regulation. While highly effective for stress and insomnia, it is crucial to disclose any allergies to your practitioner before your session to ensure the plant oils used are safe for your skin and respiratory system.

Massage is increasingly used for older adults to treat general aches and pains, promote better stability, and enhance overall relaxation. It is a gentle, drug-free way to maintain mobility and comfort in the later stages of life.

No. At AWAREmed, massage therapy is part of an integrative approach. These services are supportive and complementary; they are provided in addition to—not instead of—conventional medical care. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions.

Under the guidance of Dr. Akoury's integrative philosophy, our team helps you select a therapy based on your current physical state—whether you need the gentle strokes of a Swedish massage for stress or the deep-layer targeting of a Deep Tissue massage for chronic pain.
