Questions Answered.
What's the difference between Signature Muscle Therapy and a regular massage?+
Signature Muscle Therapy is goal-directed clinical bodywork — not a relaxation massage. Every session focuses on identifying the root cause of your tension and targeting it with advanced techniques including cupping, Graston, heated therapy, and specialized tilt-table positioning. It also includes 30 minutes of recovery technology at no extra charge.
Do you accept HSA and FSA cards?+
Yes — we accept HSA and FSA cards for all services. We can also provide a detailed superbill for potential out-of-network insurance reimbursement.
What recovery technology is included and how do I choose?+
After hands-on therapy you choose one: Triple Max Red Light, Normatec Compression, HydroJet Massage, or Robotic Back Relief Table. All four are included in your session price at no extra cost.
Are sessions private?+
Yes. Every session takes place in a fully private room. No shared treatment floors, no overlapping appointments.
How often should I come in?+
For persistent tension or discomfort, weekly sessions for 3–4 weeks typically produce the most consistent improvement. For maintenance, most clients return every 2–4 weeks.
Where are you located?+
117 Washington Ave Suite 21, North Haven, CT 06473. Free on-site parking. Serving New Haven, Hamden, Wallingford, Cheshire, Branford, Milford, Guilford, East Haven, and surrounding areas.
