By the job
What your work asks of your body
Most people here book around their job, not around a body part. Find your workday and start with the session people in that work usually book.
- Legs and feet, 45 min
On your feet
Nurses, cooks, flooring crews, anyone on a hard floor for a shift. Hours of standing put the work in the calves, the arches and the hips. The session starts at the ground and works up.
- Deep tissue, 60 min
Lifting and carrying
Carpenters, linemen, movers, warehouse crews. Lifting and hauling load the shoulders, the upper back and the forearms. The session goes slow and firm on those, at the pressure you pick.
- Hips and low back, 45 min
Driving and hauling
Truck drivers, bucket-truck crews, delivery and sales routes. A seat for hours leaves the hips, the low back and the neck stiff and closed up. The session opens them up one area at a time.
- Neck, shoulders and hands, 30 min
Typing and charting
Nurses at the charts, dispatchers, estimators, office staff. A keyboard day pulls the neck forward and tightens the shoulders, forearms and hands. A short session covers all of them.

From the job site and the ward
What clients say
“I come in right off the job site and nobody makes a thing of the boots. Donnie asks how firm I want it before he starts and checks again halfway through.”
Rusty M.Framing carpenter
“I booked the early slot after a night shift. Dixie kept the room warm and quiet, and I was covered the whole time.”
Betty L.Night-shift nurse
“The evening times fit a late crew. I like that they tell you what each session is for in plain words.”
Tod W.Lineman
“Half an hour for neck, shoulders and hands in the middle of a work week is exactly what I wanted. Easy to book and easy to find.”

Good to know
Questions before your first visit
I come straight from work. Is that okay?
Yes. Leave your boots at the door and your tool belt in the car. You do not need to shower, and nobody minds the sawdust.
What do I wear?
Whatever is comfortable. Undress to your comfort; we work around whatever you keep on. You are covered by a sheet or towel the whole time, and only the part we are working on is uncovered.
Can I stop a session?
Yes, at any time and for any reason. You can pause, change position or end the session, and we stop right away.
How do I set the pressure?
We ask before we start and check again halfway through. Tell us to go lighter or firmer whenever you like. Deep work is a choice, not a default.
Where are you, and where do I park?
Upstairs from the hardware store on East Broadway in Maryville, with parking behind the building. The studio is up one flight of stairs; call us if stairs are a problem and we will talk through the options.
What if I am ill, hurt or pregnant?
If you are unwell, tell us and we will move your visit. If you are pregnant, or have had surgery or an injury lately, ask your doctor before you book and tell your therapist what they said.
