Performance Taping which addresses rehab, posture, edema, and sports performance and the effects of elastic therapeutic taping on pain mitigation, circulation, and proprioception. FMT Performance Taping has an emphasis on myofascial pathways, movement therapy, and performance enhancement.

I work in collaboration with Chiropractic Doctors as well as serving individuals with various conditions and needs. Clients consist from mothers working hard at home to competing athletes and everything in between. Most often the client is looking for relief from chronic pain or relief from stress related problems. One might have a prescription from a doctor for us to focus on a specific medical problem, like relieving tension and adhesions resulting from a surgery, or relieving symptoms of neuropathy. Sometimes a relaxing Swedish massage is exactly what the doctor ordered, so we have that on the menu as well with soothing essential oils.

At Advanced Medical Massage, you'll get so much more than a massage. New client discount for first visit: 50 Minute Deep Tissue Massage With Consultation for $59. We love it when you recommend us to your friends and will reward you with a free 30 minute deep tissue massage for every new client. Before every session we will get into what is it you need at this time, so let us know if you have come to take a nap and relax while getting a light massage. Otherwise we will get in all aspects of your life if you so desire and make a wholesome plan for exercise, diet, stress reduction and when applicable, spiritual and emotional issues.

To purchase a massage package go to "Services" tab. Choose "Special Offers" tab and then choose your package.

I accept HSA and FSA cards and use Merchant Classification Code (MCC) 8099 'Medical Services and Health Practitioners, Not Elsewhere Classified.' HSA/FSA cards may have restrictions as to what Merchant Classification Codes are accepted. If your card is not covered under MCC 8099, I recommend that you contact your card issuer in order to determine the options moving forward, as coverage is dependent upon the specific HSA/FSA plan.

You're welcome to come and experience our therapeutic massages first hand at your convenience. Your first appointment is always little more time consuming, so arrive 10 minutes early for your appointment. I will ask you to fill out some basic health information forms to get to know you and your needs better before we start, unless you had done that already online.

Please Note: **24 hours advance notice is required for cancellation. Same day appointments cancelled or missed with less than 4 hours notice result in charges for the full amount of the service scheduled.**

Trained at Perheniemen Evankelinen Opisto & First Institute.INC
Currently studying at IQUIM University on track DNM to PhD (Doctorate in Natural Medicine to PhD).
I received my holistic health training mostly in Finland at Perheniemi Evangelic College where I studied Kajava Therapy (Deep Tissue Massage and Myofascial Release) and many holistic health modalities; diet therapies, vitamin/mineral and herbal therapies, spa therapies, Bach Flower Remedies and Aroma Therapy. I graduated as Holistic Nutritional Counselor and later on as Holistic Health Practitioner. In USA I studied Massage Therapy at Firstinstitute.INC, Crystal lake and graduated as a Licensed Massage Therapist. Currently I am continuing my studies of Natural Medicine at IQUIM University. My goal is to graduate next year as a Doctor of Natural Medicine (DNM).
Since 2002 I have been proving my services as Health Coach consulting clients, friends, and family about natural approach to their health.
I am passionate about natural health, holistic medicines, and therapies. I believe great physical, mental, and spiritual health can be better achieved and maintained with natural non-invasive methods. There is a place for allopathic health care, naturally, but unfortunately the focus is on chemical intervention causing many serious unnecessary side effects and even deaths. The root cause of the problem is ignored, or it is not understood. Many health problems can be prevented with gentle natural holistic methods and changes of habits and diet.

After having a tummy tuck and lipo, I was left with pain, bruising and swelling. After only 2 sessions, Tarja really helped improve my pain and swelling. She is knowledgeable and compassionate. Her skills in lymphatic drainage massage are excellent. Right after each massage, I feel lighter and can stand straighter. I am looking forward to my next treatment. I feel like the care that Tarja offers for lipo recovery is so important for feeling better quickly and preventing adverse affects related to lymphatic system trauma. If you had lipo, get in and see her. Her lymphatic drainage massage really helps!

Tarja is the best! She pays attention to individual needs and is willing to work on specific problems. She also spends time making sure I know how to ‘help myself’ when I leave.

by Anonymous on Feb 2022

Verified

Tarja seems like a good choice if you have one specific area that you need her to work on. Do not go to her for an overall massage. She pushed so hard on my knots that I had to stop her many times, and in multiple areas. And, 3 days later and I'm still in lots of pain in all the areas that she worked on. It's way too painful and did more harm than good.

Business response:

I ask many times if you are comfortable with the pressure I assume is needed. Couple days of soreness is normal after deep tissue massage. Please do not book a "Deep Tissue Massage" if you have a medical condition with nerves, or very low tolerance. The pressure is adjusted according to response from client. My youngest happy client is 7, and oldest 94.

Fantastic massage! It was exactly what I was looking for, calm atmosphere, extremely knowledgeable and professional person. Such attention to each individual muscle, and not a 'spa type' session. This is perfect for athletes, hard workers, and especially...tattoo artists! (which is my field) Definitely will be back!

Tarja is a very knowledgeable & skilled masseuse. A therapeutic massage on such a skilled level is very hard to find. This was my second visit and it was just as amazing. She doesn't take any short cuts. I look forward to many more massages to help with my arthritis, fibromyalgia & overall body stress, aches & pains. Thank you, Tarja for being so skilled. ~ M. E.

Tarja is very professional. There was very calming music playing in the background. The temperature was just right. I was her 5th client for the day and she still had enough strength to provide me with an amazing Swedish Massage. Two days later and I am still feeling some of my sore spots. Tarja also went above and beyond by sending me some videos that I could use to stretch my gluts on my own time. Can't wait for my next appointment.

My experience was great. It was the best massage I've ever had. Would have appreciated a darker setting with calmer music and less conversation, but I will definitely be back.

Business response:

Most likely a Clinical Deep Tissue Massage at AMMC will not resemble your loveliest relaxation experience at a Spa in candle light, but a Medical Massage Clinic. If your first appointment is 50 minute Deep Tissue Massage With Consultation, there will be also many things to talk about. Dim lights are required for observation of the skin color, health, and response to Deep Tissue Massage. We have 60 minute Swedish massage for more relaxing experience. Thank you for your feedback. ~Tarja Anchor

Business response:

Thank you Barbara, for your feedback. When there are any musculo-sceletal issues going on, Deep Tissue Massage can feel a bit intense. Couple days of muscle soreness, like after exercise, is common afterwards. When issues start to resolve, Deep Tissue Massage is not painful. Of Course always express your feelings regarding to intensity of the pressure. Too much of a good thing is not so good. :) ~Tarja Anchor

Therapeutic level of massage, not merely relaxing. I have had several injuries over the years. Tarjas treatments have given me more relief from the pain and more mobility than any chiropractor or other therapists. Her level of skill goes way beyond the norm for American therapists. I can once again do things I have not been able to do in years.

Always a great real deep tissue massage with focus on the areas of most need most. Great stress relief and stretching so that I am more limber and have more range of motion than in years - MUCH better than traditional PT or going to a physician!! Taja is very knowledgable and skilled in holistic healing and does a great job with a deep tissue massage, stretching and manipulating my sore shoulder and neck so that I have a much better range of motion and less pain. She also offers advice for nutrition and vitamins that have been terrific. I make it a point to have my appointment weekly.
