At Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa, every massage we offer is designed with a purpose. Whether your goal is deep relaxation, relief from chronic tension, improved mobility, or recovery from daily stress, our licensed therapists use specialized techniques to target sore muscles, release tight areas, and restore balance throughout the body.
No two bodies are the same, and no two massages should be either. That’s why each session is thoughtfully customized to your needs, your pressure preference, and the areas where your body needs the most attention.
Some guests come simply to relax and recharge. Others arrive with stiff necks, aching backs, or muscles that need focused therapeutic work. Whatever brings you in, our team is here to help you leave feeling better than when you walked through the door.

A Swedish Massage at Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa is the classic relaxation experience—designed to calm the mind, soothe tired muscles, and restore a sense of balance to your entire body. Using long, flowing strokes, gentle kneading, and rhythmic movements, your therapist works to ease muscle tension while encouraging healthy circulation throughout the body.
From the moment the massage begins, the body starts to let go. Tight shoulders soften, breathing slows, and the stress of the day gradually melts away.
Swedish massage is perfect for those who want pure relaxation, lighter pressure, and a peaceful escape from the constant pace of everyday life. It’s also an excellent introduction for guests experiencing professional massage therapy for the first time.
By the end of the session, most people notice something simple but powerful:
their body feels lighter, their mind feels quieter, and they leave feeling completely refreshed.
At Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa, Swedish Massage is more than relaxation—it’s your reset button.
A Deep Tissue Massage at Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa is designed for people dealing with chronic tension, stubborn knots, and muscle pain that simply won’t go away. Using slow, deliberate pressure and targeted techniques, your therapist works deep within the muscles and connective tissue to release the tight areas that limit movement and cause discomfort.
Over time, stress, injuries, and daily wear can create dense bands of tight tissue—often called adhesions—that restrict mobility and keep muscles locked in tension. Deep tissue massage focuses on breaking up these problem areas, restoring natural movement and helping your body function the way it was meant to.
As tight muscles begin to release, something powerful happens:
pain decreases, flexibility improves, and your body finally starts to move freely again.
Many guests choose deep tissue massage when they want more than relaxation. They want relief. They want results.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic neck and shoulder tension, tight lower back muscles, athletic strain, or the everyday stress that builds up in the body, this focused therapeutic massage helps reset your muscles and restore balance.
At Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa, deep tissue massage is where skilled hands meet real therapeutic results.
Some forms of relaxation are gentle. Others go deeper.
A Hot Stone Massage at Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa is one of the most soothing and deeply relaxing treatments we offer. Smooth, naturally heated stones are carefully placed on key areas of the body—including the back, hands, and strategic pressure points—to allow comforting warmth to slowly melt away tension.
As the heat penetrates deep into the muscles, tightness begins to release and the entire body starts to relax. Your therapist then uses the warm stones as an extension of their hands, gliding them across the muscles to work out stubborn knots while maintaining a smooth, flowing rhythm that feels incredibly calming.
The warmth helps increase circulation, loosen tight muscles, and ease areas of chronic tension without the need for aggressive pressure. The result is a massage that is both therapeutic and luxuriously relaxing.
Many guests describe Hot Stone Massage as the moment when their body finally lets go.
If you’re looking for the perfect combination of deep relaxation, gentle muscle release, and pure spa indulgence, this is the treatment that delivers it.
Our Sinus Massage is a focused therapeutic treatment designed to relieve pressure and congestion in the face, head, and nasal passages. Using gentle, targeted techniques, your therapist stimulates key sinus pathways to help encourage natural drainage, reduce inflammation, and ease the buildup that can lead to headaches, facial pressure, and postnasal drip.
This soothing treatment can help relieve sinus congestion, puffy eyes, and that heavy, “stuffy” feeling many people experience during allergy season or when dealing with sinus irritation—leaving you breathing easier and feeling refreshed.
Imagine opening the door to a quiet, candlelit room where the outside world simply fades away. At Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa, some of life’s best moments are meant to be shared—and our Couples Massage experience was created for exactly that.
Side by side, you and your partner settle into a peaceful retreat while two skilled therapists begin a synchronized massage designed to melt away tension, calm the mind, and restore the body. The room fills with soft music, warm lighting, and the soothing rhythm of expert hands working away the stress you both carry.
Time slows. Muscles loosen. Conversation fades into pure relaxation.
A Couples Massage at Kneaded Relief isn’t just a spa service—it’s an experience. It’s the chance to reconnect, unwind together, and enjoy a moment that belongs entirely to the two of you.
Perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, date nights, or simply because you both deserve it, this shared escape leaves you feeling lighter, calmer, and closer than when you arrived.
At Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa, relaxation is better together.
Reflexology is a specialized therapeutic treatment that focuses on precise pressure points in the feet and hands that correspond to different organs and systems throughout the body. When these points are stimulated, they help encourage balance, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural ability to relax and restore itself.
During your session, skilled hands work specific reflex zones with controlled pressure, melting away tension while sending calming signals throughout your entire nervous system. Many guests report feeling lighter, calmer, and more balanced almost immediately.
The experience is deeply relaxing, yet surprisingly energizing.
Perfect for anyone who:
Feels mentally overwhelmed or stressed
Experiences fatigue or poor sleep
Spends long hours on their feet
Wants a natural way to restore balance and well-being
In just one session, you’ll feel tension release from your body, your mind quiet, and a sense of calm wash over you.
Your feet carry you through life. Reflexology gives something back.

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey—but it can place tremendous demands on the body. Our Prenatal Massage at Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa is designed to provide expecting mothers with safe, gentle relief while nurturing both body and mind.
Specially trained therapists use supportive positioning and carefully adapted techniques to ease the common discomforts of pregnancy. Gentle, flowing strokes help reduce tension in the lower back, hips, shoulders, and legs while encouraging healthy circulation and reducing swelling.
As the session progresses, tight muscles soften, pressure in the back and hips begins to ease, and a deep sense of calm replaces the physical stress pregnancy can create.
Many mothers-to-be find prenatal massage helps improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and create a peaceful moment of connection during an otherwise busy and demanding time.
This treatment is not only about comfort—it’s about caring for the body that is doing something truly remarkable.
At Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa, Prenatal Massage offers expecting mothers the opportunity to relax, recharge, and feel supported every step of the way.
Craniosacral Therapy is one of the most gentle yet profoundly relaxing treatments we offer at Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa. This specialized technique focuses on the craniosacral system—the delicate membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using an incredibly light touch, your therapist works to detect and release subtle restrictions within this system. When these restrictions are eased, the body’s central nervous system can function more efficiently, allowing the entire body to shift into a deeper state of balance and relaxation.
Although the touch is light, the results can be surprisingly powerful. Many guests report relief from tension, headaches, stress, and nervous system fatigue. Craniosacral Therapy may also support overall wellness by helping the body regulate important systems such as digestion, circulation, breathing, and musculoskeletal function.
Because it encourages the body’s natural healing response, Craniosacral Therapy is often chosen by individuals seeking relief from stress-related conditions, anxiety, and the physical effects of emotional strain.
Quiet, subtle, and deeply restorative, Craniosacral Therapy offers a unique pathway to whole-body relaxation and balance.
Cupping Therapy is a time-tested treatment that works in a completely different way than traditional massage. Instead of applying pressure into the muscles, specialized cups create gentle suction that lifts the tissue—helping release deep tension, improve circulation, and encourage the body’s natural healing response.
During your session at Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa, cups are carefully placed on targeted areas of the body such as the back, shoulders, or hips. As the suction draws blood flow to the surface, tight muscles begin to soften and stubborn areas of tension start to release.
Many guests describe the sensation as deeply relieving—almost as if the muscles are finally being pulled apart and allowed to relax.
Cupping therapy is especially helpful for Chronic muscle tightness, Back and shoulder tension, Athletic recovery and so much more!
The treatment stimulates circulation, encourages lymphatic drainage, and helps flush out built-up stagnation in the tissues.
At Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa, cupping therapy is often combined with massage techniques to create a powerful treatment that leaves your body feeling lighter, looser, and dramatically refreshed.
This ancient healing practice delivers a powerful combination of stretching, pressure, and movement that leaves the body feeling energized, flexible, and completely renewed.
At Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa, Thai Massage is performed through a series of assisted stretches and rhythmic compressions that work along the body’s natural energy pathways. Your therapist uses their hands, elbows, and sometimes even gentle body leverage to guide your muscles through deep, therapeutic stretches you simply can’t achieve on your own.
The result is a treatment that loosens tight muscles, improves joint mobility, and restores balance throughout the body.
Unlike traditional massage where you simply lie still, Thai Massage is a more interactive experience. Your body is gently moved, stretched, and opened—releasing tension while improving flexibility and circulation at the same time.
This high-performance massage is customized for athletic recovery, post-event restoration, or chronic tension relief. We begin with a focused intake to pinpoint your goals—whether that’s relieving tight hips, improving shoulder mobility, or releasing deep knots in the back.
