Massage in Apex

An expert in traditional Swedish massage and neuromuscular therapy, Wayne Saville has been easing the tensions of local residents for more than 15 years. His signature massage combines techniques from Swedish and deep-tissue modalities, resulting in broad, flowing strokes that help calm the nervous system and ease exterior muscle tension. Wayne takes a similarly methodical approach to neuromuscular therapy sessions, during which he examines six distinct physiological factors to diagnose and alleviate muscle pain. These targeted sessions aim to release trigger points or compressed nerves and thereby rectify poor posture and obstructions in the blood supply. Wayne can work with you to discuss the type of bodywork that works best for your ailments; among his effective solutions are rocking movement, movement reeducation, and playing games of hopscotch across the back’s unresponsive pressure points.

Kneading Relief’s founder, licensed massage therapist Misty Burnette, specializes in Swedish, deep-tissue, and pregnancy modalities. In sessions at her office, her dexterous digits work to soothe soreness, increase circulatory activity, and improve range of motion for more fluid popping and locking when hailing cabs. Misty also offers massages for the head and the feet, and chair massage is available for company functions, parties, and lemonade stands.

Anika of Agape Touch summons her array of healing techniques to ease back pain and muscle tension with one of six massage modalities. As a former army medic and EMT, Anika strives to bring greater holistic health to her customers with hot- and cold-stone treatments, skin-renewing scrubs, and Swedish massage to evict toxins, impurities, and leftover candy canes from beleaguered muscles. Clients can also relax under the pressure of warm stones during the hot-stone massage or address the tender symptoms of overexertion with a restorative sports massage.

Prospa Massage and Wellness’s James W. Dunn, a licensed massage and bodywork therapist, tends to tensed-up musculature in serene private service rooms located at Relaxation Station. With stress-melting skills honed over years of practice, the seasoned therapist releases tension with various techniques, including Swedish massage and deep-tissue work. A particular emphasis on Russian medical massage—an especially flexible modality—allows James to customize treatments to fulfill clients’ specific therapeutic needs. Treating physiques with the same empathy he employs when performing free hand massages at a local nursing home, the therapist progresses through each treatment carefully to minimize bodily discomfort and avoid setting off spinal security systems.

Licensed therapist Hugo Zapata works with each client to understand his or her unique massage needs and customize a truly beneficial experience. He mingles techniques from Swedish, deep tissue, and sports massage to promote relaxation while easing muscle pain from injuries, chronic tension, or sleeping on a bed of nails. The office holds extended hours seven days a week to accommodate busy schedules.

Seven years serving as a medical assistant spurred Nichole Honeycutt—a graduate of the Natural Touch School of Massage and a member of the American Massage Therapy Association—to embrace the preventative philosophies of holistic therapy, which she honed doling out massages in a spa and later a chiropractic clinic. From hushed massage rooms, where soft music, naturally hued walls, and table plants channel tranquility onto the plush beds, Nichole lavishes tense muscles with the oils and long, flowing strokes of Swedish massage. Other modalities include the bamboo fusion massage, which relies on heat to alleviate stress and relieve muscles sore from arm wrestling jammed slot machines. Couples massage classes, energy work, and invigorating salt and sugar scrubs augment the menu of massage services.
