Massage in Parker

Scents of lavender, peppermint, and wild orange infuse each visit to Natural Therapeutics, an alternative wellness center that tames tension with a soothing blend of massage strokes and doTerra essential oils. Ten licensed massage therapists pair Western modalities such as Swedish massage with Eastern styles such as shiatsu to address problems ranging from migraine headaches to post-traumatic stress disorder. The studio’s signature service is the AromaTouch integrative massage, during which the therapist applies essential oils to the body’s energy pathways, calling upon their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to help to calm the nervous system and detoxify the body. The center also stocks the full line of doTerra products, allowing clients to carry the therapeutic-grade essences home with them for proud display in their own home oil cellar.

Brian Flemming knew he wanted to be a chiropractor when he was just 9 years old. After he visited one to help him heal from injuries, a fascination with the human body took root in his head. So he followed that fascination through school, learning the tricks of the trade and the subtleties that differentiate human insides from those of sock puppets, eventually becoming an adherent of a whole-person approach.

In Loveland, Dr. Flemming teams up with fellow Doctor of Chiropractic Jeff Bjorklund to chase away aches and realign spines. Lifelong athletes, Flemming and Bjorklund forge paths to wellness with chiropractic care, corrective exercise, lifestyle advice, and nutritional counseling. To complement their pain-assuaging, drug-free regime, they joined forces with massage therapist Sarah Vetter, who soothes away tension, leaving muscles as relaxed as spaghetti noodles in a hot tub.

Structure Therapeutic Massage and Body Work owner and founder Jeanette Falu-Bishop began her massage-therapy career on U.S. military bases in Germany, where she provided more than 1,000 hours worth of massages for wounded servicemen. In recognition of her dedication and work, Jeanette received a Presidential Volunteer Award in 2006, signed by former president George W. Bush. Jeanette is also the founder and executive director of the Structure For Wounded Warriors non-profit organization, which helps wounded warriors, veterans, and military widows deal with injury and emotional recovery through massage, bodywork, and counseling at no cost to them.

Today, she and her staff mollify muscular discomfort with soothing therapeutic treatments and relaxing massages in a variety of modalities, including medical, deep-tissue, Swedish, sports, and hot-stone therapy. The team uses refreshing essential oils to complement treatments, which can increase blood flow, improve skin tone, promote joint flexibility, and restore the body's ability to escape awkward situations by melting and seeping under door cracks.

The Mindful Body’s staff of trained massage therapists and yoga teachers exhibit expertise in holistic practices, such as Ayurvedic medicine, yoga practice, massage, and hydrotherapy. This is the basis of the wide range of bodywork and lifestyle-education sessions offered at the center. Eight types of massage, including Zen shiatsu, deep tissue, and prenatal, can be enhanced with organic essential oils from Rebecca’s Herbal Apothecary. Nutritional counseling sessions give clients custom menus in line with Ayurvedic principles. In keeping with the spirit of inclusivity, the center is equipped with ample wheelchair accessibility and free parking.

Though their backgrounds may differ, Green Leaf Massage Center's certified therapists share a passion for improving their clients’ health and wellness through massage. Owner Danette Siravo sets a sterling example for her staff of four to follow, routinely attending continuing-education classes to bolster her therapy skills and learn modalities that range from acupuncture to cancer and mastectomy massage.

Inside private treatment rooms, the therapists rely on 100% organic lotions to bolster the effectiveness of sports, hot-stone, relaxation, therapeutic, and deep-tissue massages. Aromatherapy add-ons further awaken the senses with the comforting scents of tangerine, lemongrass, sandalwood, and homemade fried chicken.
