Medical Massage Therapy
We are proud to serve our veterans by offering specialized medical massage therapy. Recognizing a real need for this service, we decided to integrate massage therapy into our clinic’s offerings. Serving veterans is a priority for our team, inspired by the experiences of Nerea, one of our co-owners, whose father is a Vietnam veteran.
