Welcome Viktoriya!
We are excited to announce that we have a new team member!
She came highly recommended from my trusted friend & colleague at The Swedish Institute. Viktoriya has a background in dental medicine since 2008 (Doctor of Dental Medicine/DMD back in the Ukraine!). She has been in the US since 2013 working as a dental assistant in NYC.
Viktoriya was drawn to massage therapy because she enjoys helping people feel better about themselves. Her goal is to help each of you achieve balance, relieve pain & tension, allowing you to live your life to the fullest.

We appreciate your patience as we transition to a new schedule throughout the month of August. Our goal is to be open earlier and later to accommodate the high demand for therapeutic massage. As w/ most things in life this will be a process!

MFR w/ Barb:
I am back working a limited schedule providing Myofascial Release/MFR! Sessions are 90 or 120 mins long no lotion or oil is used. You can book online or directly through me.
What is MFR?
Fascia runs throughout our body. It gives us structure, carries neurological impulses, has pain receptors, runs through each muscle spindle & fiber. There are fascial connections that have been mapped. You might have seen the posters in the treatment room.
Through pressure & specific directions of force held for a certain amount of time, it allows for thixtrophy to happen. Since fascia is a colloid (it can be solid or liquid like), MFR focuses on getting the fascia to soften. It is very profound work and holds longer over time than Swedish style work.
It can help in pain management, increase range of motion, improve posture, help the flow of lymph, improve neuromuscular efficiency, & improve muscle recovery.
It can feel very deep at times & lighter other times.
It is a great adjunct to Swedish style deep tissue work that Derek & Viktoriya provide.
