Dayton & Kettering Therapeutic Massage

Important Notice:
Effective 8/30/2010, we will be offering massage services in two different locations (Kettering and Centerville) to better serve you! Click here for more details!

Massage therapy is not a luxury, it is an essential in today's fast paced environment. Our therapists are licensed professionals who will provide you with compassionate, competent care. Whether you are seeking an hour of the ultimate in relaxation massage, you need relief from a chronic pain condition or desire a sports massage, we will offer you the best in treatment and renewal in Dayton.

To receive the most benefit from a massage, whether is it for intensive treatment of a repetitive stress injury or for relaxation, it is important that you feel relaxed. We always found it difficult to relax in a clinical setting, so we have worked hard to provide an extremely peaceful atmosphere for our clients. Even while we are working deeply on a painful area, our clients say they are able to relax because of the restful atmosphere.

Our clinic is located in a two story professional office building in Kettering at 2555 S. Dixie Drive, making it convenient to Dayton, Kettering, Oakwood, Centerville and other neighboring communities.

We offer massages 6 days a week, days and evenings. You may make an appointment online or call Kim at 937-304-4301 or Robin at 937-219-6335.

Why is a license so important?
In Ohio, only licensed massage therapists are regulated. To receive a license in Ohio, a therapist must undergo several hundred hours of training, pass a competency exam, and undergo a rigorous background check.

However, in Ohio, anyone without a license can give a relaxation massage, whether they have any massage knowledge or not. They may not claim that any of their services provide any sort of therapeutic benefit over and above being relaxing.

Without a license, you have no idea what training your masseuse has had, or if they are a convicted criminal. Would you want to undress and receive a massage from someone who may have no qualifications and no background check?

How can I tell if a masseuse is licensed?
You can ask for their license # or name and check it online at the Ohio Medical Board's website. Many people claim to be licensed that aren't, so don't take their word for it - they are taking the gamble that you won't check. If they aren't in the Medical board database, they aren't licensed. Period.

Cheap prices often indicate non-licensure. Occasional discounts or seasonal coupons are commonplace, but a standing price that is significantly below average should be cause for concern. The average price for a massage in the Dayton area is in the neighborhood of $65/hour.

If a masseuse doesn't mention that they are licensed, or if they only seem to offer or focus on relaxation massages, that is a clue. Or, you will notice that they don't mention any type of therapeutic massage services.

Surprisingly, many spas have some non-licensed masseuses on their staff, but they won't mention it when you make an appointment unless you ask. Very few people would suspect this! Why should you pay top dollar for a massage from someone who may not be qualified? It pays to check.
