Therapeutic massage that works with your treatment plan.
Massage therapy in Scottsdale from licensed massage therapists who work in the same hallway as Dr. Tracey. Deep tissue, sports, prenatal, myofascial release and cupping, scheduled around your adjustments or booked on their own.
- Licensed massage therapists

- Same front desk as chiropractic and acupuncture
- On its own or paired with an adjustment
What it is
A massage therapist in Scottsdale who reads your treatment notes
Massage here is treatment, not a spa visit. A massage therapist in Scottsdale on our team can read the same notes as your chiropractor, so the work goes where the exam says it should: the tight muscle guarding a stuck joint, the fascia that has shortened around an old injury, the shoulder that is compensating for a neck that does not turn. It is still relaxing. It is also part of the plan.
Deep tissue massage in Scottsdale is the most requested session, followed by sports massage for athletes and prenatal massage for the back, hip and pelvic aches of pregnancy. Myofascial release in Scottsdale, trigger point work and cupping therapy round out the sessions that pair most often with an adjustment.
You can book massage in Scottsdale here without seeing Dr. Tracey at all. Many patients do. And when a massage and an adjustment belong in the same plan, the front desk schedules them back to back.

How a session works
Intake, the right modality, then the work.
- /01
Intake
What hurts, how you use your body, and whether you are in a plan with Dr. Tracey. If you are, the therapist reads the notes first.
Shared notes
- /02
The right modality
Deep tissue, sports, prenatal, myofascial release or one of the others, chosen for what the tissue needs, not from a menu.
Fourteen modalities

The session, and after
Focused work where it is needed, the rest of the body not forgotten. Water afterward, and a note in your file if you are in a plan.

Your visit
What a massage visit is like
During the visit
- A short intake, and a look at your treatment notes if you have a plan with Dr. Tracey.
- The modality and the pressure agreed before the work starts.
- Focused work on the problem area, with the rest of the body treated too.
- Cupping, gua sha or hot stone added when they fit.
After the visit
- Drink water. Deep tissue and sports work can leave mild soreness for a day.
- Cupping leaves round marks that fade in a few days and are not bruises in the usual sense.
- If you are in a plan, the therapist notes what was found so your next adjustment starts from it.
Modalities
Fourteen massage therapy modalities, one team
The five most requested first, then the rest of what the team offers.
Deep tissue
Slow, firm work into the deeper muscle layers for chronic tightness. The most booked deep tissue massage in Scottsdale on our schedule, and the one that pairs best with an adjustment.
Sports massage
Pre-event, post-event and maintenance work for athletes. Sports massage in Scottsdale for runners, cyclists, golfers and weekend competitors.
Prenatal massage
Side-lying, pillow-supported prenatal massage in Scottsdale for the back, hip and pelvic aches of pregnancy, from therapists trained in prenatal positioning.
Myofascial release
Sustained, gentle pressure into the connective tissue that has shortened around an old injury or a long-held posture.
Cupping therapy
Suction cups that lift the tissue rather than press it. Cupping therapy in Scottsdale here is added to a session or booked on its own.
Trigger point
Direct pressure on the knots that refer pain somewhere else.
Neuromuscular release
Targeted work on the muscle and nerve interplay behind chronic pain patterns.
Therapeutic
The all-purpose treatment massage, adjusted to whatever the intake finds.
Swedish
Long, flowing strokes for circulation and relaxation. Lighter pressure.
Hot stone
Heated stones to warm and loosen tissue before deeper work.
Ashiatsu
Deep, broad pressure delivered with the therapist's feet, using overhead bars for balance.
Reflexology
Pressure on points of the feet that correspond to the rest of the body.
Aromatherapy
Essential oils chosen for the session, added to any modality.
Gua sha
A smooth tool drawn over the skin to release tight fascia and improve circulation.
Who it is for
Who massage is for, and when we pair it
Book massage on its own
- Muscle tightness, stress and general soreness without a specific injury.
- Athletes in training who want regular maintenance work.
- Pregnancy aches, with a prenatal-trained therapist.
- Anyone who wants a therapeutic massage from a licensed therapist, no exam required.
Pair it with an adjustment when
- A joint keeps getting stuck again because the muscle around it will not let go.
- You are recovering from an injury and the tissue needs work before the joint can move well.
- Dr. Tracey recommends it as part of your plan. She will tell you which modality and why.
Not sure which to book? Call the front desk and describe what hurts. They will suggest a session and a length.

Real questions
What people ask about massage.
Searched in Scottsdale Which massage should I book?
If you have chronic tightness or you are in a plan with Dr. Tracey, deep tissue or myofascial release. If you train, sports massage. If you are pregnant, prenatal massage. If you mostly want to unwind, Swedish or therapeutic. When in doubt, tell the front desk what hurts and they will pick with you.
How long is a session?
You choose the length when you book. Shorter sessions focus on one area; a full-length session treats the whole body with extra time on the problem. The front desk will suggest a length based on what you describe.
Is prenatal massage safe?
With a therapist trained in prenatal positioning, yes for most pregnancies. You lie on your side with pillow support, pressure is adjusted, and certain points are avoided. Tell us your trimester and anything your OB has flagged when you book.
Will deep tissue massage leave me sore?
It can, for about a day, like after a hard workout. Drinking water and gentle movement help. If you would rather avoid soreness, say so and the therapist will ease the pressure.
What are the marks from cupping?
Round, reddish or purple marks where the cups sat. They are from blood drawn to the surface, not from impact, and they fade within a few days. They do not usually hurt.
Can I book a massage and an adjustment on the same day?
Yes. The front desk schedules them back to back, usually massage first so the tissue is loose before the adjustment. Ask when you book.
