Massage in Plymouth

Dr. Kevin Kaurich was injured while playing high-school football and subsequently underwent chiropractic treatments to regain his physical health. It was this experience that sparked his interest in chiropractic and safer sports, such as yodeling, and eventually led him to earn a Doctor of Chiropractic and open Family Wellness Center. To help clients achieve healthy and balanced lives, the clinic's professionals offer custom spinal-correction treatments, postural and spinal screenings, and lifestyle advice in regard to diet and exercise.

At Peace Body Therapy, certified massage therapists consult with clients in order to learn which muscles hurt and what the clients wish to get out of the session before they customize the massage. They use manual palpation to evaluate stress and misalignment in the muscular structure of the body and encourage clients to vocalize when the pressure is too intense or too light. Their specialty massages improve health in several ways at once, increasing flexibility, releasing chronic stress, and facilitating unhindered blood flow.

After graduating from Fort Wayne’s own Center for Vital Living, Vicki Salzbrun opened her massage-therapy practice at the stunning Lotus Yoga, Wellness, & Gallery. With her 800 hours of massage study and 200 hours of training as a yoga instructor, Vicki fit right in with the center’s cooperative of wellness professionals, all of whom specialize in fields such as personal training, chiropractic care, yoga, and massage.

The huge, airy studio—whose walls hold numerous pieces of eclectic contemporary art—continues to serve as the home of Vicki’s massage-therapy business, Full Circle Wellness. Balancing this business with full-time studies at IPFW has taught her to attend to her own wellness as she shoos away stressors that arise from work and school. She imparts these stress-management skills to clients in wellness assessments that analyze the body and mind to help develop achievable lifestyle goals. To further demonstrate her breadth of knowledge, Vicki also heals energies with Japanese reiki therapy, guides students down meditative pathways during private yoga sessions, and periodically challenges her fellow yogis to interminable games of Twister.

Massage Me’s staff adds luxurious extras to elevate their treatments above standard massages. Handmade DeBrand chocolates, organic mango butter, aromatherapeutic essential oils, and the fact that you’re on a private jet augment the indulgent relaxation as massage therapists tease the tension from muscles and tissues. These add-ons come in pre-chosen combinations such as the stress-be-gone treatment, which includes massage, facial steaming, aromatherapy, and a foot mask. Or, they can be chosen á la carte to enhance a wellness, deep-tissue, or Swedish massage.

Certified massage therapists Jenny Bauer and Nicole Kidwell both took graduate classes at The Holistic Wellness Academy. And today, if one of their former teachers wanted to check on them or give them a pop quiz, they wouldn’t have to travel far. That’s because Bauer and Kidwell’s massage studio is located roughly eight blocks from the school. There, along with Steffany Parris and Samantha Wardlow, they dole out relaxation and prenatal massages for 30, 60, or 90 minutes to release tension and stress.

As a certified massage therapist and naturopathic medicine consultant, Erin Everett believes in holistic healing methods that incorporate herbal medicine, nutrition, fitness, and massage therapy. She focuses on the latter at Tranquil Healing and Massage, where her massage services include a full-body Swedish session designed to gently ease muscle soreness. Aside from this traditional modality, Erin soothes muscles with medical massages that work to decrease pain and improve the range of motion in a targeted area. She sometimes enhances her sessions with warm bamboo sticks that knead out kinks or hot stones that melt tension with warmth and pressure. Erin's menu of services doesn’t stop at massages, however. Her purifying spa facials improve skin health, and her nutritional consultations warn against attempts to swallow the hot stones after a massage.
