I'm Sara, a Licensed Massage Therapist and Physical Therapist Assistant. I believe in utilizing a holistic approach to assist the body to function to its full capabilities.
The solution for those looking for longer lasting pain relief and improvements in functional mobility. Thorough evaluation, full body assessment along with specific orthopedic testing depending on your goals, bodywork, and specific corrective mobility all included.
NKT treats pain or movement dysfunction by application of Motor Control Theory, neuroscience, and functional anatomy. NKT identifies muscle imbalances via a specific protocol allowing us to use specific treatment and corrective exercise techniques to restore proper movement patterns & reprogram the brain. We want to treat the source, not the symptoms. NKT is only available with Active Alignment service.
Precise and thorough examination of muscles to locate trigger points or muscle spasms and release. Once released, the benefits include decreased pain, improved circulation, and improved connective tissue flexibility and performance.
Bodywork of the fascia and deeper layers of connective tissue in the body using slow, sustained pressure at problem areas to relieve tension. Recommended for those with chronic stress, injuries, and active individuals. Soreness can be common after this type of bodywork.
Use of a massage tool to break up connective tissue adhesions, assist with proper healing of injuries, relieve tension in the fascia and superficial muscles, and stimulate new oxygenated blood flow to areas. A little redness may be present up to 2-4 days after treatment.
The combination of manual therapy and negative pressure, through the skilled placement of cups, that focuses on the efficiency of fascial mobility and neuromuscular re-education to reduce pain, release connective tissue restrictions, and increase functional range of motion. Traditional cup therapy skills may also be utilized if warranted or requested. Cup marks are normal and can often be seen on the skin up to 2 weeks after treatment.
A therapeutic taping technique which helps to alleviate pain and facilitate lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting effect increases interstitial space, allowing for decreased inflammation in affected areas. With tape application, the brain receives a new proprioceptive input which can help break up our pain signal cycle or provide improved stability to application site.

Infrared saunas can create the same infrared heat produced by the sun that all living things require for optimum health, without the harmful UV radiation. This radiant heat penetrates the skin deeper than a traditional sauna, increasing the thermal energy in joints, muscles, and tissues.
Combine with your massage or use as a stand-alone treatment to help your body feel and perform at its best.

As a person who has utilized the benefits of massage for a good 25 years, and been worked on by some of the best in the area over the years, I would greatly recommend Sara and Align Bodywork!! Her knowledge of muscles, techniques, and how to manage tension, is wonderful. Great Job Sara!! I can’t wait for my next appointment.

My massage with Sara was nothing short of amazing. She tendered the hour very specifically to my needs, goals and areas that needed the most work. She was very thoughtful and caring, incredibly knowledgeable. A true gem to work with as anatomy and physiology are her strengths but massage and helping people recover are her passion and true talent. Lucky to have someone of her caliber so close!

Sara is a spectacular massage therapist who is extremely knowledgeable! She always finds the spots that need the most work and focuses on whatever muscles I ask her to. I also love that she offers cupping and scraping! For anyone looking for a great massage therapist who is generally concerned about your well-being, Sara is your girl!! I’m a weight lifter and seriously look forward to every massage with her as my body feels almost brand new every time!

I was driving home and rotating my head and just laughing out loud and talking to myself, OMG OMG I can look over both of my shoulders pain free! Haven’t done that in forever.

Sara is simply amazing! She listens to what your areas of concern are, assesses for areas of weakness and focuses on your areas of concern while also providing an amazing relaxing environment. I have told many friends about her and can’t wait to go back myself.

I recently have had extreme muscle tightness in the arms and legs. During my latest massage Sara concentrated on these. It was amazing the degree of release of muscle tension. The numbness is gone and I can feel much better blood flow to my hands. Thank you, Sara.

Can’t wait to go back. This was my first time ever getting a massage! I highly recommend this place! Sara explains everything in detail. It felt amazing!

Thanks again, that was a great way to start my week!!! Felt like a million bucks all day – got in a pretty good workout mid-afternoon and I have a bunch of hip maintenance stuff I do pretty routinely – I noticed a huge improvement in hip internal rotation on my bum hip which I’m super excited about.
