You're in pain. Let's change that.

If you're dealing with back pain, sciatica, neck and shoulder tension, hip or knee discomfort, or something that just won't go away — you've likely already tried things that didn't stick. You need more than a temporary fix.

At my South Miami clinic, I specialize in targeted Manual and Bodywork Therapy focused on finding relief from pain and restoring how your body moves. With over 25 years of clinical experience, I work with clients from Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Coconut Grove, Palmetto Bay, and surrounding communities who are ready to actually get better.

Here's how it works:
1. We start with a thorough assessment to understand your symptoms, movement patterns, and what may be contributing to your pain
2. Based on that, I apply evidence-based manual therapy, neuromuscular techniques, and movement strategies targeted to the areas that need it most
3. You leave with a clearer understanding of your body — and a path toward lasting relief

This is not a spa or relaxation massage. These are focused, therapeutic sessions built around your specific symptoms and recovery goals.

Appointment Health & Office Policies

Your health and comfort are my top priorities. To ensure a safe and respectful environment, please review the following guidelines before your session:

Health Guidelines

Please reschedule if you are experiencing any symptoms of illness such as fever, cough, sore throat, congestion, stomach virus, or flu-like symptoms.
Do not attend if you have any contagious or infectious condition (cold, flu, strep, conjunctivitis, stomach virus, etc.).
You must be fully symptom-free before returning for treatment.
If you’re unsure whether you should come in, please call or text me.

Rescheduling & Cancellations

Appointments must be rescheduled or canceled at least 24 hours in advance to avoid forfeiting your session.
No-shows will be charged the full session rate.
Late arrivals may result in a shortened session, but full payment is still required.

Refund Policy

No refunds are offered for appointments, prepaid sessions, gift certificates, or massage series.
Prepaid sessions, series, and gift certificates never expire and may be transferred once to another individual.

Office Protocols

The treatment room and equipment are thoroughly sanitized between each appointment.
Medical-grade air purification is maintained in-office.
Hand sanitizer and tissues are available for client use.
Adolescents (17 and under) must be accompanied by a parent/guardian, who must remain in the treatment room.
A current medical intake form must be completed prior to your session.

Risk Acknowledgment

Massage and bodywork involve close physical contact, which carries a small but unavoidable risk of exposure to illness. By booking an appointment, you acknowledge this risk and consent to treatment.

Important Notes

Massage/bodywork is not a substitute for medical treatment or diagnosis.
If you suspect injury or illness requiring medical care, please consult a physician first.
Conditions requiring medical diagnosis or physical therapy will be referred out.
