Pain Management
Trigger point therapy and deep tissue massage help relieve pain by working out tight muscles. Trigger point therapy presses on muscle knots that cause pain in other areas.
Deep tissue massage uses slow, strong strokes to reach deep muscles and break up tight spots. These treatments reduce pain, help you move better, and support healing.
Feel better, move better. Opal Skin and Bodywork offers expert massage therapy for pain relief, injury recovery, and better mobility.
With techniques like deep tissue, cupping, and hot stone, Alyssa helps your body heal and perform at its best.
Sports Medicine Massage
Sports medicine massage helps you move better, recover faster, and avoid injury. It targets overworked muscles using deep tissue, trigger point, and other techniques to reduce pain and support performance.
About Alyssa
I began my journey in massage therapy in 2022, working in various spas and clinics. While relaxation is a key aspect of massage, I quickly discovered how essential pain management is in truly helping clients feel their best. My approach focuses on personalized care, blending multiple modalities rather than adhering to a single style. Every individual is unique, and their massage experience should be, too.
I credit much of my skill and understanding of the body to my background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Hands-on grappling taught me how different areas of the body are interconnected—just like a heel hook, where the foot is attacked, but the knee takes the damage. This knowledge sharpened my ability to identify muscles, movement patterns, and points of tension. As a competitor, Jiu-Jitsu also instilled in me the drive to work with athletes, helping them recover, perform at their peak, and prevent injuries.
In early 2023, I earned my AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association) certification, further solidifying my expertise and commitment to providing high-quality, professional care. My goal is to offer therapeutic relief that supports both relaxation and long-term physical well-being.
