Services
From my first appointment with Rachel I have found her to be the best massage therapist I have ever experienced. Rachel has done wonders for the patients I have sent her, relieving both the stress and back pain. She is well skilled in the art of prenatal massage and I feel safe in sending my moms to her because I know she knows the limits of a pregnant mother.
This treatment focuses on releasing the connective tissue around muscles and joints for more range of motion, less pain, and greater efficiency of movement. The style of Myofascial Release (MFR) that we provide is based on the theory and principles of structural integration; we do not provide the John Barnes' method of MFR for somatic-emotional release.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle and rhythmic technique that supports the natural movement of the Lymphatic System. It helps improve cellular health, and can also help improve the body's immune system.

Our therapist Kaylin is Certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage under the Klose Training System, and can assist in treating many post-surgical conditions, including, but not limited to: liposuction, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast augmentation, and mastectomy.
This therapy is a gentle form of bodywork that works to release restrictions in the head, spine and sacrum and improve cerebral spinal fluid flow. Clients who experience anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic headaches and migraines, joint pain, or tinnitus, or those who have had a past concussion or other traumatic brain injury, may find relief with this therapy.
This wellness treatment engages the body's lymphatic system to help promote a gentle detox of tissues and reduce minor swelling of the extremities. It is also beneficial in the healing process after an injury, however we do not treat lymphedema or post-liposuction. Our Lymphatic treatment is for general wellness only.

The massages I have received from Richard the last several months has completely helped the nerve pain I was having from a MVA. His treatments have given me so much relief!! I am so thankful and appreciative of the care that I have received. Maleigha, who runs the front desk, is also very professional and extremely friendly. The Neuromuscular Studio is top notch and I very highly recommend them!

Danielle was fantastic- her healing modalities are exactly in aliment with my views and beliefs and she was a very warm and professional therapist. My 10 week old son loved her and was so calm and happy the whole time. Very much looking forward to continuing to work with her to help realign him and fix his current imbalances. She is going above and beyond to help treat him. The front desk staff was also very warm and professional and the entire energy and experience was fantastic. Will definitely recommend!

This place is the best! Kaylin is a fantastic therapist, communicating clearly and fine-tuning sessions to meet needs. I learn so much with every visit as well! Rachel runs a terrific business, making booking, checkout, and the whole experience so smooth. Everything is very transparent, and there is never a delay or any confusion. Parking is easy, appointments are always on time, and the atmosphere is spare but great. I've heard fantastic things about all other therapists as well, just never had the chance to go to them myself.
I recommend to all friends/family, and I'd gladly recommend to anyone

I received cupping and other holistic modalities during my massage with Danielle. I've never been to a therapist that knew exactly what to do right away to help my muscle pain. She is so intuitive and is so gentle with how she releases tight muscles. I will keep booking with her! She is amazing!!

Rachel Carroll is the best of the best. She has been working on my issues for the last 18 months; issues that took decades to develop after working a desk job for that long. I’ve tried chiropractic care and physical therapy in the past, but had not experienced the results that I have with Rachel. I am very confident in Rachel’s ability to continue helping me get my life back.

Let me first state, I made a post on “Go Gilbert” looking for someone that does trigger point therapy. The Owner Rachel reached out to me as to what they provide in services at their facility. On my appointment day, I Was kindly greeted at the front by the owner and therapist I was scheduled to see. They listened to me and payed close attention to the details, as I explained all the injuries I sustained from an auto accident. My therapist (Jason) is extremely knowledgeable, as well, informative about the treatment he was rendering. His trigger therapy was spot on ( made my toes want to curl

I've had three sessions now, the whole staff is kind and caring and approachable. They sent me a handwritten card after my first session thanking me for my business. Josh is so concentrated, and so focused when he is working with you. The whole studio is incredibly clean and inviting.

I have been with The Neuromuscular Studio for 1 year now and have had the chance to get to know all the therapist. Each one provides a unique treatment to match what was going on with me at that time. I love them all and they have really helped me at a time when no one else could. I’ve been with Danielle over the past few months and I feel like a new person. I haven’t felt this good in years and I’m so thankful for each and everyone who has got me to this place. Thank you to Rachel and her entire team for always being there for me!

Rachel has helped me so much! I'm impressed with how much anatomical knowledge she has as well as her implementation of techniques for whatever issues she detects. She does a very thorough evaluation, is responsive to her client's needs, and is great with communication. I have had chronic conditions and sought several different therapies before I found The Neuromuscular Studio. I highly recommend Rachel!

Cannot say enough about how great Danielle is. She is a magician, I am convinced. I've had 3 cranio appointments with her so far, and each one has been fantastic. She truly cares about her patients, and really tunes in to their bed needs. It is so evident with each appointment. I leave feeling like a million bucks, and she's provided tools/tips for me to continue the benefits at home as well. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with her.

Highly recommend!! I've had many massages in the past and they always left me extremely sore after. I was hesitant to try again but Danielle has helped alleviate my back pain while making me feel so comfortable. The best massage/cupping in the valley! I am a forever customer :)

This place is AWESOME! I've been seeing Danielle regularly for massage and cupping for several month for relief of chronic back issues I have. I love the very professional, targeted treatment they provide. My back feels better than it has in years. I've referred a couple other people to her and everyone comes back saying it is the best massage they have ever had.

I have had an issue with my neck/shoulder blade/arm for about 6-8 years. I’ve had MRIs, x-rays, scans, etc. Everyone comes back with different results/diagnoses, however, even after 3 epidurals, I have had no relief. In my research on the issue, I stumbled upon The Neuromuscular Studio, and after reading the team bios and about their work, I figured it couldn’t hurt to try. After my first two visits, I can honestly see light at the end of the tunnel. Kaylin listened to everything I shared and said she thought she knew exactly what I meant. She got right to work, and while her manipulations

I have a disc bulge and have suffered from tailbone pain for over a year. After numerous injections in my back and doing PT for many months, nothing seemed to help. I went to see Rachel Carroll for my first Neuromuscular massage and I can honestly say it has been the missing piece to my pain puzzle. She is extremely knowledgeable and incredible at what she does. Her bedside manner is the best of the best and I am so thankful for these treatments. I'm on my 4th treatment and my body has already started to relax and heal. I highly recommended this place for any pain or injury you're suffering

Rachel is a great Therapist. She informs you about the session, so you know what to expect. She checks on the pressure to make sure you are not in pain during the the session. I felt better after my session and I will return. Thank you Rachel!

I'd give 10 stars if I could. I discovered The Neuromuscular Studio through an internet search after having been diagnosed with a torn hip labrum. I am a candidate for surgery, but decided to try a more conservative route of physical therapy and massage. After reading that Rachel had experienced a torn hip labrum herself, I knew if anyone could help me, it would be her. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. Aside from the pain-relieving massages, she has been a great resource for my hip labrum issues, and even helped me find a knowledgeable physical therapist

I really like how easy it is to book an appointment! They are very professional and all of them have great attitudes. They always let me sit down and complain about my physical woes and they always listen. The office is very clean, in a great area, and they have diffussers which is very relaxing while you get a massage. I recommend!

After many, many years of frustrating debilitating neck and back pain and years of trying chiropractic, acupuncture, spinal epidurals, prescription medication, etc. - I've finally found the answer I've been searching and hoping for. I've only had two neuromuscular massages so far, and they've already been life-changing. It's unlike any massage or treatment anywhere - it's truly healing and my therapist, Heidi, is unbelievable at finding the exact issues which cause problems and ones I didn't even realize were causing other problems. It's incredible how they

I've enjoyed going to the Neuromuscular Studio for the past six months. The place was referred to us by a family friend and I specifically see Melissa. She listens very well to my issues and targets them as needed. I have felt better each time I've gone here. Highly recommend, especially if your looking for prenatal massage or are having unique/various pain issues.

I've been receiving NMT services from Rachel for the past six months and couldn't be happier with the exceptionally high quality of care, expertise, education, support, and customer service that Rachel consistently provides. In my experience, everything Rachel does is first rate, top notch, and done with great care and attention to detail. I originally came to her with back spasms and discomfort associated with previous abdominal surgery, and have gained much needed relief in both areas, along with a few other issues that she resolved. She also provides outstanding referrals to other

The eye twitch from Hell got me for about 6 weeks before I finally mentioned it to Rachel at The NMT Studio. She got into some pressure points in my shoulders, neck, and upper back, and it's almost gone now.
There is not much that is as annoying as an eye twitch. Seriously.

I was referred to see Rachel at NMT Studio by my neurologist so that she could help with tension headaches that I was getting. I can't even tell you how much her therapy has helped. When I first started with her, I was getting a migraine once a week that lasted for days at a time and I was in fairly constant pain. She has worked with me weekly to work out my trigger points and try to get my muscles to behave. She has referred me to some great physicians that she has worked with over the years and between her and their expertise I now get a migraine maybe once a month if that. I can't
