Massage in Union Hill-Novelty Hill

Chiropractic experts at The Vital Energy Center use the Myovision SEMG to detect vertebral subluxations by measuring the amount of electrical activity that muscles release when they're tense. Then they use their hands to give really good massages. Choose from three different hour-long, muscle-melting massages from Vital Energy's expert therapists (graduates of the Soma Institute of Neuromuscular Integration and the Wellspring School for Healing Arts). Vital Energy is the only place in Seattle where you can get an AMMA massage: an atypical, Eastern medicinal rub that includes nutritional advice, herbal therapies, and other health suggestions like "pecans may or may not give you eternal life" or "you should work out in my garage when I'm not home."

The Wellness Massage is a custom-tailored treatment that addresses your back's individual bothers. Aspects of Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, craniosacral massage, and sports massage can be incorporated into the knead, depending on your problems and preferences. Waking Life's individualized massages improve blood flow, stimulate the lymphatic system, relieve physical tension, and melt stress into a puddle of biodegradable papier-mâché in a clean, beautiful treatment room that's decked out with chocolaty velour curtains, perky wall sconces, and elegant floral arrangements.

Driven by core values that include empathy and accountability, the staffers of Lake Union Wellness cultivate optimal health in their clients through natural and holistic methods. Licensed chiropractors and massage therapists address aches, mobility issues, and alignment problems with deep-tissue massages and spinal therapy, not drugs, surgery, or tickling. The practitioners promote ongoing wellness in clients by guiding them toward strength-building exercises, therapeutic stretches, and nutrition coaching. Even as they do serious work, Lake Union’s staffers maintain a lighthearted, friendly environment, seeking to build long-term relationships with clients. Perks such as free parking and evening appointment times make the experience as relaxed as Barry White’s answering-machine greeting.
