Calling upon her training at the Daytona Institute of Massage Therapy and the knowledge that led to her subsequent certification, massage therapist Kelly Murdick heals the sore backs of local athletes and community members with a variety of massage modalities. Though her methods— which range from tissue-stretching myofascial release to the healing aromatherapy of the Raindrop technique—address specific aches and injuries, they share common goals of easing the mind’s stresses and the body’s tensions. Along with her massages, Kelly fights cellulite with Parafango treatments and cocoons bodies in wraps designed to stimulate blood flow and promote the growth of nascent wings.

A licensed massage therapist and the president of Studio Rejuvenate, Hunter Jones worked as a registered nurse for years before returning to school to learn the stress-melting techniques of massage. He calls upon his wealth of academic and medical experience to ease chronic pain and tension alongside a team of fellow therapists trained in various massage modalities, from the gentle strokes of Swedish to the firm taps of Morse-code lullabies. Hunter and his team also treat soreness or recurring pain with reflexology techniques that target pressure points and deep-tissue strokes that run against the grain of muscles to break up knots of tension. Regardless of the modality you choose, expect to receive expert tips on at-home exercises to help you to further manage pain.

When their own nimble fingers are not enough, Studio Rejuvenate’s massage therapists enhance the efficacy of their treatments with heated pebbles, soothing aromatherapy, and hot or cold therapy courtesy of Biofreeze products.

A soft lamp casts its light across the rippling sky-blue curtains that line RelaxLKN's massage-therapy room, evoking the colors and sense of calm that typify many a warm spring day. These relaxing hints of nature can make one forget where one is: nestled inside Divinity Spa, reclined on a table as licensed massage therapist Brandy Male works her nimble fingers across muscles prone to tightness and stress.

Before setting up shop just blocks from the shores of Lake Norman, Brandy began her career in the resort spas of Las Vegas, where she gained valuable experience comforting hyperextended muscles and slot-machine levers. Today, she channels more than a decade of kneading experience into sore backs, stiff necks, and aching exoskeletons. She tailors each massage to the client's preferences, incorporating the long, gentle strokes of Swedish massage and the medium-to-heavy pressure of deep-tissue massage to loosen knots and promote blood flow. Hot stones and aromatic oils further customize the service, engaging multiple senses as they melt stresses accumulated during long workdays or short base jumps. Brandy also doubles as an aesthetician, enhancing brows with subtle tints and honing their shape with waxing services.

After spending more than 12 years working in banking, Claudia Hidalgorojas decided to pursue her passion for helping others by attending The Edmund Morgan School of Neuromuscular and Massage Therapy.

Claudia co-owns Main Street Massage with massage therapist Jeanne Weeks, both of who personalize each session with a bouquet of techniques, a treatment table draped with aromatherapy-infused linens, and soothing music composed by clients' secret admirers.
