Manual osteopathy (MO) is a complementary form of healing. It focuses on the interrelationship between the structure and function of the body. The goal is to work toward total body health through treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes the joints, muscles, and spine.
RAPID is a manual (hands-on) treatment that uses a combination of techniques. Typically, there will be a continuous cycle of evaluation and treatment throughout the session, as your therapist manually detects where there are problem-areas and how they need to be addressed.
Much of your treatment will consist of palpation, in which your therapist will move his or her hands over specific areas to evaluate factors such as the tightness and movement of various musculoskeletal parts (including muscles, joints, nerves, ligaments, and fascia).In some cases, your therapist may ask you to make a specific movement during the treatment to make his/her motions more effective.

I had my first proper massage this past weekend and it was amazing. I am a chatty person and being able to select that you wanted to have conversation put my nerves at ease. Will was wonderful and clearly has a true passion for the profession. Urban Massage is clean, professional and very welcoming to new clients. I had an amazing experience this past weekend and I will without a doubt be coming back. Thank you!

I went into Urban massage today a mess with knots, and lots of tension in both my upper and lower back. When I left there I felt like a new person. Tam was my massage therapist and went above and beyond to work out all my problem areas and used the perfect amount of pressure to make that happen. I highly recommend him. I will definitely be scheduling my next appointment in the very near future.

I booked an appt for my wife Daisy with Anne and she came home raving about the experience. She said Anne was very competent and worked hard to improve her upper back rigidity and pain. She enjoyed everything about her time there and will absolutely be back to book with Anne for future massage treatments.

Oh my gosh I had a wonderful experience. Leigha did a fantastic job on my very stiff shoulders. I've always been hesitant about getting a professional massage because I'm weird about strangers touching me but I am so so glad I finally did this. She made me feel so comfortable. Everyone there was so friendly and the atmosphere is so nice and relaxing. I will definitely be coming back.

It’s always incredibly easy to schedule an appointment with Urban Massage and the staff is always so welcoming and professional. I’ve seen a number of massage therapists, most recently it was Leigha and she was absolutely phenomenal. Took the time to learn my problem areas and was very thorough. Lifetime customer here!

This place is not ADA complaint and discriminatory.
I am a wheelchair user and was asked to explain (to three different people in the salon over the phone) how I was planning to get into the building. When I explained that my brother-in-law was going to assist me in getting in they said they typically do not allow that for it is a “liability”.
They stated they are willing to make an exception this time, however I canceled my appointment for I do not want to do business with a place like this.

Urban massage is wonderful! The building is beautiful, and it’s set up to be calm and inviting. My appointment was with Dusty, and my massage was fantastic! She is knowledgeable and skilled in massage therapy but also a very kind and caring person. I will be back, and I highly recommend!

This is a professional clinic with skilled practitioners/therapists. For approximately 1.5 years I have received massage at this clinic. Over the course of time I have seen four therapists who all have a specialized skill set that have contributed to my overall health and well being. Nicole, Liz, Sonja and Daniele are incredible,skilled, intuitive… and professional therapists.
I really enjoy that the therapists within this clinic refer clients, such as myself to their colleagues. This has definitely been of benefit to me and shows great collegiality and professionalism.

I needed manual osteopathy and was in so much pain that it was inhibiting my range of motion in my elbow, forwearm, wrist and hand. Nicole knows her stuff! In just one treatment I saw an amazing difference and she provided coaching on how I can continue to improve the condition at home and throughout the day. Highly recommended!

I have enjoyed every practitioner I have seen at this clinic. (Almost all of them) They are all so amazing, were able to really dive into my problems and work on areas troubling me or that I didn’t even know was troubling me. You can really tell that they care about the clients and their well being. Would 10/10 recommend going to this clinic. If you are unsure as to who to see, give them a call!! They know their staff, and who would be a good fit based on your needs!

Thank you to Samantha for a fantastic massage. Only the second time I've ever gone...for some reason I wait until I hurt myself then see if I can find something to help. I'm looking forward to going back healthy, just to relax and enjoy. The place is beautiful and calming. Nicole, well done. You can expect to see me a lot more frequently, and I will be sending everyone I know. Also, the website is very well done and very easy to navigate. Again, thank you Samantha.
