    Announcing a new experience like none other that will get you connected to your body like never before! At Taylor Made Massage, a new therapeutic massage clinic at 4167 Lyndale Ave. N. suite #202, you will receive a massage that is tailored to your body type, shape and size. They believe in working full circle starting with the origin of a muscle, the insertion point, the muscle belly and all connected properties. Treatment is based on Swedish massage, but is also integrated with techniques such as trigger point therapy, neuromuscular techniques, compressions, stretches, join movement and deep tissue treatment based upon your specific level of tolerance. They also provide hot stone massage and Reiki therapy. 

    Taylor Made Massage plans on expanding services to include a seaweed gel body wrap and herbal eye treatment. They also want to develop a self healing class to enable people to treat their own bodies and incorporate stretches, deep meditative breathing, self massage, and joint movement to help alleviate aches and pains. Taylor Made Massage owner and therapist, Patricia Arana, has been a Northside resident since the age of 5. She has worked with MN Timberwolves and martial arts athletes. She also spent two years working with accident rehab patients, and has a clear understanding that for most people in life, massage is not a luxury - it's a necessity! Call 952-888-1926 for an appointment.
