Medical Massage

Described by my clients as an empathetic, intuitive massage therapist, I’m guided by the philosophy that wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Medical Massage is a focused, individualized approach for clients experiencing persistent pain, injury, restricted movement, scar tissue, or other musculoskeletal concerns. Rather than following a routine, each session is guided by your health history, current symptoms, movement patterns, and what your body is presenting that day.

Sessions may incorporate advanced soft tissue techniques, fascial work, scar tissue work, and other therapeutic approaches to address restriction, improve mobility, and support more comfortable movement. Medical Massage is complementary care and does not replace evaluation or treatment from your healthcare provider.

  • "I’ve been seeing Shawna for massage therapy for several months, and she’s TOPS! I have quite a bit of fascial tightness, which she was able to diagnose and focus her therapy on. She’s a knowledgeable professional who does her utmost to tailor her interventions to the specific needs of her clients. She’s patient and takes her time during each session; rather than rushing through several areas, she evaluates tissue tension and focuses on those areas that appear to most need her therapeutic touch. Her commitment to client comfort extends to such pleasant touches as a warmer for her therapy plinth, a glass of water at the end of the session, and subdued lighting to invite relaxation. I always leave feeling better after a session with Shawna! Thanks so much!"

  • "Shawna is much more than a massage therapist – she is a healer. A few words that describe her: compassionate, intuitive, inspired, kind, and talented to name a few. Not only is she a fantastic massage therapist, she is a wonderful person. Anyone who crosses paths with Shawna, whether it is because she is giving a massage or just sharing some wisdom, will benefit from their time with her. I highly recommend Shawna Patton at Mama Bear Massage."
