  • I have now seen 4 different therapists at the center (Daniela, Terry, Robyn, and Erin) and have had exceptional outcomes each time! Don’t get me wrong, I love a relaxing massage, but my ultimate goal is to heal and feel my best. Align massage center will help anyone do just that! Life is stressful enough; finding a massage therapist who “works” for you shouldn’t be! I love coming to Align and look forward to each session I have! Pro tip* don’t skip the sauna after the massage—game changer!!!!

  • Align Massage is an Amazing new gem in Bluffton! They have a very easy online booking system. The office and massage rooms are all very well done, and they use top quality sheets, blankets and equipment. The owners Robyn, Daniella, and the entire staff are wonderful and super knowledgeable. I get my massages from Terry and she is phenomenal. I have chronic tightness in my hips, lower back and hamstrings and she’s been able to fix that and give me more mobility and no more pain! I highly recommend Align Massage!

    Robyn is beyond skilled and so intuitive with the body and its proper placement and structure. This isn't a 'foo-foo' massage. This is a mind, body and soul correction and will make you properly aligned. Come to the table expecting to be cared for, properly balanced and adjusted.

  • Terry is a miracle worker!!! I have had hip/leg pain tor 2 years. Been to PT, had injections, & last was seeing a spine/pain specialist & having epidurals with very little relief. Terry worked her magic & with her 90 minutes restorative massage, I felt like a new person!!!! I absolutely did not hurt & i still feel great! A few of my friends have been, seen her or others & are really pleased with the results also!! I highly recommend Align!!💞

    I have had the opportunity to work with Daniela for years. Her approach is unique. She finds your problem areas and is able to work through and resolve the dysfunctional muscles to give immediate and long lasting relief. I have referred many of my patients to her and have seen her work her magic for not only acute, but also chronic issues.

  • Had an amazing massage at Align with Tracy. She did a really a great job working on my shoulder and it feels so much better now! The facility is pristine and the entire experience was great. Can’t go wrong!

    Adrienne O.

  • I recently went to Align because my TMJD has been bothering me. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. Erin was my massage therapist. She listened to my concerns and customized my massage accordingly. Afterwards we discussed a treatment plan based off her recommendations. I already feel relief and I am looking forward to my next massage. The entire staff is friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

    Erin N.

  • Align is hands down (pun intended) the best massage center I have ever been to. It has a calm and relaxing atmosphere that is especially helpful for clients like me that have chronic muscular issues and tension. The healing I have experienced from being treated there is unparalleled. I feel taller, more energized and more flexible each time I go. Do yourself a favor and start your healing journey at Align.

    Candice S.

  • Massage Therapy Center Bluffton and Hilton Head

    I've been a client of Robyn's for years. She delivers more than just an ordinary massage. In fact, I consider her treatments to be part of my health management. I used to travel extensively for business, which led to a severe case of sciatica along with extensive muscle stress. Her treatments have cured me! I'm now a monthly visitor. I highly recommend Robyn.

    Robin J.

  • I can't recommend Daniela and Align more highly! The location is convenient, the spaces are clean and welcoming, and they have many therapeutic options. Daniela is knowledgeable and super kind and friendly. I fractured my pelvis almost a year ago and went through several rounds of PT to try to help it heal and to reduce the pain/discomfort. Although they did their best, the PT simply aggravated the surrounding tissue & muscles and I remained in discomfort. My physical therapist suggested trying medical massage, and I was so fortunate to have found Daniela and Align. After two focused massage sessions I could feel a marked improvement, and after three more, I was pain free. Align is wonderful!

    Robyn was recommended to me over 5 years ago when no doctors or other specialists could resolve my shoulder pain and weakness. I won't say the experience is always pleasant, but it is always effective. She works deep into my muscles and get them to release. She sees what ails me just by looking at my body position. Seeing Robyn consistently has allowed me to continue to do the things in life I enjoy.

    -Kathleen M.

  • Massage Therapy Center Bluffton and Hilton Head

    Daniela is one of the best massage therapists there is! Her professional approach, layered with compassion and understanding of the human body is unmatched. I appreciate her willingness to listen and communicate to ensure that the desired results are achieved. Her curiosity and passion to continue to learn in the field make her one of the best.

    Robyn is great. She gives a true medical massage. I always feel better when she is done!

    -Kent K.

  • I have been going to Robyn for many years for deep tissue massage. She is very knowledgeable and does a fantastic job of keeping my body in shape.

    -Chick M.

  • Massage Therapy Center Bluffton and Hilton Head

    Daniela is a WONDER! If you have a joint, ligament, or muscle pain, either acute or chronic, she can work miracles. I see Daniela every few weeks to keep my 63 year-old body mobile and pain-free. She plays a huge part in relief from my chronic neck and shoulder pain, nighttime calf muscle spasms, and the aches and pains of exercise classes and pickleball! If you are an active person, you need Daniela.

    Melinda C.

  • Massage Therapy Center Bluffton and Hilton Head

    It wasn't until I started seeing Robyn after a total knee replacement that I learned the difference between a massage therapist and a medical massage therapist. Robyn adjusts her therapy to what's currently happening with my body. She has an extensive knowledge of anatomy and body mechanics. Whenever I ask Robyn why she is doing something, she patiently answers. I appreciate the education I've received. Robyn really knows her stuff!

    -Dale M.

  • Massage Therapy Center Bluffton and Hilton Head

    I have scoliosis and arthritis. I have been going to Robyn for massage for six years for my major back issues. I can say without hesitation she is the best therapist I've ever had. Every day I'm grateful for her healing hands that allow me to keep moving.

    -Barbara C.

  • Massage Therapy Center Bluffton and Hilton Head

    I feel fortunate to have found Daniela as my therapist. As an avid golfer with a host of old injuries, her work has allowed me to play and compete as often as I wish. She works hand in hand with my chiropractor to manage my pain and affect positive changes in my back and overall health.

    Donna C.

  • Massage Therapy Center Bluffton and Hilton Head

    My chiropractor recommended I start seeing Robyn. The results are more than I thought possible. My neck and shoulder pain are gone and my new range of motion surprises me at every yoga class. Robyn puts her heart and soul into each session. I am so grateful for her.

    Paige B.

  • Massage Therapy Center Bluffton and Hilton Head

    I found Daniela as a massage therapist over three years ago, and there is no way I'll ever need to find another. She understands the body, its muscle structure, fascial issues, and ways to get the proper release for your body. I love a deep tissue massage that goes directly to the problem and helps you feel elongated, energized, and renewed.

    Elizabeth D.

  • Massage Therapy Center Bluffton and Hilton Head

    I have been dealing with the lingering effects of sports injuries, accidents, nervous system issues, and connective tissue disorder. Robyn is a godsend! Not only does she target the areas that are causing the most discomfort, but her extensive knowledge of the musculoskeletal system helps to fix the 'why' my pain is magnified in that area. Her massages, combined with stretching, help me stay mobile.

    -Elizabeth K.

  • Massage Therapy Center Bluffton and Hilton Head

    Robyn is a very gifted and intuitive massage therapist. It's an experience to be massaged by her, and everyone will pale in comparison! She knows where to focus and maximizes the therapeutic effects of her treatments. I've noticed my posture has greatly improved, but most of all, I rarely have any back discomfort. I used to have a consistent dull pain in my lower back. It's gone, and I'm so grateful!

During Your Massage

The session begins with a consultation to understand your specific needs, including areas of pain, tension, or stress. The therapist uses a combination of techniques, such as deep tissue, neuromuscular, orthopedic, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and stretching, to target problem areas and promote tissue relaxation. As the massage progresses, your muscles are warmed and manipulated to release tension, improve circulation, and ease discomfort. The therapist may adjust pressure and techniques based on your feedback to ensure effective and comfortable treatment. By the end of the session, you will often feel deeply relaxed, with reduced pain and improved mobility.

After Your Massage

Before you leave, we will share simple stretches and helpful tips you can use between visits to extend the benefits of your massage. You will have time to slowly transition back to your day with fresh water in our quiet space. We will help you book your next session at a time that works best for your schedule.

FAQs

  • It is important to note that our massages differ from relaxation massages typically offered at spas. Our intention is never to cause pain or apply excessive pressure. If you experience any discomfort beyond a "hurts so good" level, please communicate this to your therapist, and they will make the necessary adjustments. We prioritize your comfort and well-being during every session. It is crucial to maintain a comfortable breathing pattern during the massage, as any discomfort that hinders your ability to breathe properly may lead to a counterproductive response where you are fighting against the therapist’s pressure.

  • It is customary to tip 20% of the services received. However, we understand that your level of satisfaction may vary, so please feel free to adjust your tip percentage accordingly.

  • Undress to your comfort level. While certain techniques may be more effective when performed directly on the skin, we prioritize your comfort and can achieve results either way. Rest assured that all areas of your body will be covered with a sheet, except for the specific areas being worked on.

  • In order to provide our clients with the best possible experience, we request that you arrive 10-15 minutes early for your first massage session to complete any necessary paperwork. For subsequent massages, we kindly ask that you allow 5-10 minutes to use the restroom, get undressed, and be on the table ready to start. This ensures that you receive the full amount of time designated for your massage session.

  • Each client has unique preferences when it comes to communication during their massage session. Some prefer to engage in conversation and others prefer to enjoy the treatment in silence. Our professional massage therapists are trained to adapt to each client's individual needs and preferences. However, we encourage clients to express their wishes and preferences during their visit freely, ensuring a personalized and satisfying experience.

  • When it comes to resolving chronic issues or injuries, each individual's response to massage therapy may vary. Some muscles may be more responsive, while others may require more time and effort to release. In order to achieve optimal results, we recommend a more frequent visitation schedule. Returning for regular sessions can prevent the muscles from returning to a tightened state and continue building upon the progress made during previous sessions.

    For individuals seeking to resolve a specific issue, we suggest scheduling sessions once a week or more until the problem subsides. This intensive approach allows us to focus on addressing the underlying cause and facilitating faster progress. Once the issue has been resolved, massages can be spaced out to a maintenance frequency that suits the individual's needs. In most cases, a monthly session is sufficient for maintenance purposes.

    We understand that everyone's time and financial situations are unique, and we respect your autonomy in making decisions regarding the frequency of your visits. While our recommendation is based on what we believe to be the most efficient approach, we are flexible and adaptable to accommodate your specific circumstances.

  • Experiencing soreness after a massage is common, and the intensity of the soreness may be higher for individuals receiving their first deep-tissue massage. However, the good news is that the soreness typically lasts only a day or two, and with each subsequent massage received within a reasonable timeframe, the intensity of the soreness diminishes. It is crucial to flush the system and alleviate soreness for the client's comfort and to aid in the healing process. Any lactic acid that remains in the body can be reabsorbed into the tissue, hindering recovery.

    To facilitate the body's healing and recovery, there are several steps that can be taken:

    • Drink plenty of water

    • Utilize the infrared sauna

    • Apply ice to sore or potentially sore areas for 10 minutes, followed by a 20-minute break. Repeat this process as many times as possible.

    • Take an Epsom salt bath

  • If you need to cancel your appointment, we respectfully request 48 hours notice. This gives our staff sufficient time to rebook with a new client. Our Policy: Any cancelation or reschedule made less than 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment will result in a cancellation fee equal to the full value of your appointment. Your card on file will be will be charged.

  • We have a strict policy against any form of inappropriate behavior or comments during our sessions. Our therapists are trained to maintain a professional and respectful environment at all times. If a therapist feels uncomfortable in any way, they have the right to end the massage. We also reserve the right to ban anyone from returning to our massage center if they engage in any sexual innuendo, comments, or gestures.
