Muscle Therapy & Bodywork

Clinical & Sports Massage Specialist in Providence, RI with 17+years of experience

Pain Relief . Performance . Mobility

Your body is constantly adapting... to training, work, stress, repetitive movement, injuries, and everyday life. When muscles become overloaded or movement becomes restricted, you may feel it as pain, tightness, stiffness, weakness, or decreased performance.

My approach is focused on finding the areas that need attention and creating a treatment that is specific to your body and your goals.

I’m Tuany Machado, LMT, a Clinical & Sports Massage Therapist with extensive hands-on experience working with athletes, active individuals, and clients seeking relief from pain and chronic muscle tension.

My background in Health & Life Sciences, combined with years of hands-on clinical and sports massage experience, allows me to approach each session with both anatomical knowledge and practical experience.

Targeted. Personalized. Intentional.

I don't believe every body needs the same massage.

Your session may incorporate techniques such as:

• Active Release Techniques® (ART)
• Deep Tissue Massage
• Myofascial Release
• Sports Massage
• Trigger Point Therapy
• Cupping / Myofascial Decompression
• Therapeutic Massage
• Swedish Massage
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Techniques are selected based on what your body needs, not simply following a routine.

What can we work on?

Sessions may be beneficial for:

• Muscle tension and chronic tightness
• Neck, shoulder, and back discomfort
• Restricted mobility
• Sports-related muscle tension
• Repetitive-use discomfort
• Recovery from training and physical activity
• Trigger points and muscular restrictions
• General stress and tension
• Maintaining mobility and physical performance

Whether you're an athlete, someone who works with their hands, spends long hours at a desk, drives for a living, trains regularly, or simply wants your body to feel better, treatment is customized to you.

More Than a Massage

The goal isn't simply to make you feel relaxed for an hour.

The goal is to help you understand your body, address areas of restriction and tension, and help you move and function better.

Some clients come in because something hurts. Others come in because their body isn't performing the way they want it to. And many simply know when they need targeted work.

Wherever you're starting, we'll focus on the areas that matter most to you.

About Me

I became a massage therapist because I've always been fascinated by movement, the human body, and what it is capable of doing.

Growing up in Brazil, I was involved in sports including volleyball, indoor soccer, and handball. My experience working alongside a sports chiropractor further developed my interest in treating active bodies and musculoskeletal issues.

Today, I bring that same curiosity and hands-on approach to every session.

I believe effective bodywork combines knowledge, skilled touch, communication, and attention to the individual in front of me.

Ready to feel the difference?

If you're dealing with tension, restricted movement, muscle discomfort, or simply want more intentional bodywork, let's create a session around what your body needs.
