The Functional Body

It was a comfortable room and I was asked if I wanted a warming pad under me - which I did. My body was kept covered except for the part being worked on. She worked on buttocks area/upper thigh over the sheet which left no room for feeling exposed. She listened to me/my body for areas that needed more focus. I will return for future massages.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I walked in hoping for a good massage to relieve some pain and tension I’ve been experiencing and walked out feeling like a brand new person. I saw Alishia at Functional Wellness Center today, and I don’t say this lightly—what she does is a gift. I’ve had massages all over, from high-end spas to medical offices, but I’ve never experienced anything quite like this. It wasn’t just a massage—it was healing, education, and restoration all in one.

I’m dealing with sciatica and pain in both shoulders. She worked out knots from head to toe, explaining how the muscles were affected.

If you’re looking for a relaxing spa experience, find another place. If you want someone to work on your aches and pains, go see Alishia.

Alishia is so knowledgeable and always pays attention to what is actually going on in your body. She is hands down the best massage therapist in the area. I always recommend her to family and friends.

Alishia is, without question, the most effective massage therapist I have encountered in more than 20 years. Her extensive understanding of physiology and kinesiology allows her to provide a service that is less a spa indulgence and more a targeted medical treatment. As someone who has suffered from sciatic pain for 11 years since my last pregnancy, I can confidently say that Alishia is the only professional who has been able to consistently access the correct pressure points and provide significant, lasting relief. She excels at listening to client needs, modulating her technique accordingly, while still performing the deep, restorative muscle manipulation critical for therapeutic outcomes. Her ability to deliver such profound relief is truly impressive.
