Active Body Needs Therapeutic Massage & Wellness
Active Body Needs is an orthopedic sports massage clinic providing individualized care based on clinic expertise for anyone having pain or dysfunction. I use a multidisciplinary approach to relieving muscular and soft tissue pain, dysfunction, and injuries which is far more powerful than just one technique or one form of treatment.

This type of approach restores the body's structural balance, reduces acute soft tissue pain, and improves flexibility. Every body performs differently, depending on the specific concerns that need to be addressed. So, an individualized approach is taken - whether it is adjusting the structural balance of the entire body or simply focusing on a specific condition.

I got a much needed deep tissue massage yesterday from and I am so grateful! I have been battling with sciatica for almost a month and it has impacted my life in very unpleasant ways. My body is also very beat up and riddled with arthritis. I thought for sure I'd be in tears during our session but I was pleasantly surprised how… wonderful it all felt. I've had many massages and she is definitely one of my top 3 favorite therapist! I highly recommend her! Last night I finally got some decent sleep and today I can do chores without all the pain. I look forward to even better sleep tonight

I really enjoyed my massage today. What a treat! Andrea was able to provide my sore muscles relief and provided a great massage that relaxed my entire body. I was very comfortable at her location and in her massage suite. I am looking forward to going back! Give Andrea a try and you will be just as impressed and very happy too!

Andrea has the knowledge and skills to help with a wide variety of injuries and painful conditions. Her experience in working with Olympic and Elite level athletes is very evident. Athletes, weekend warriors, or anyone with pain issues should really come see Andrea.

Andrea is absolutely fabulous! As an elite athlete, she did what I expected of her. She took the time and cared for my exact needs as well as telling me what she was doing and why. She is very intelligent and I highly recommend her to anyone in the area!

I received the most amazing treatment both before and after my competition in the long jump. Not only did she fully relax and loosen up my muscles, but she took away the pain and tension I had from the trip and then again after competition. I am so glad you were the massage therapist for this track meet ! Thanks a billion!

Andrea provides a fantastic massage every time. I have been to many massage therapists through the years and Andrea is by far the best. She listens to you on where your body is sore and not only provides an effective massage but also stretches and shows you how to stretch the area. She certainly cares about your body wellness and wants to make sure you walk away feeling better. I recommend Andrea to everyone I know!!!!

Andrea was able to get me in for a massage at last minute as I was having significant neck pain. She listened to my concerns and then did a great job with working through my troubled areas. She also provided me with stretching exercises I can do at home.
