Welcome
ABOUT ALTERED STATES
Altered States of Science is a Therapeutic Massage and Medical Exercise Company established in 1996. We provide safe and effective Massage Therapy for those suffering from chronic pain or specific conditions, those who are in the post-rehabilitation phase after injury or surgery, athletes, and those seeking the stress relief and health benefits that therapeutic massage can provide.
We are 'ALTERED STATES' because massage can take you into a time and space where the body is relaxed and the mind is quiet. This is a non drug-induced altered state of consciousness. There is increasing evidence that taking the time to enter into this state of relaxed consciousness promotes health and well-being.
We are 'OF SCIENCE' because at Altered States we have studied and apply the disciplines of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and medical exercise to strengthen our clients' recovery, general health, or athletic performance.
We 'ALTER THE STATE OF SCIENCE' because we are not specialists in white coats performing medical procedures rendering you passive. As an Alternative Health Care Practice, Altered States will work with you and empower you to be active in your therapeutic goals.
