There's nothing more relieving than when a headache lifts. When Darris started out as a massage therapist she found she had great success in helping clients relieve their muscle tension headaches, sometimes removing them completely after a treatment. Knowing that TMJ Dysfunction was a major cause of headaches she took additional training (TMJ Mastery - Principles, Applications & Disc Displacements) to dive deeper into how the jaw operates and learn new techniques to treat the dysfunction; allowing her to reduce pain and increase symmetrical movement.
It's not just for jaw pain or tension headaches; if you suffer from sleep apena or tinnitus, this massage can help. It can even make dentist visits easier if you have difficulty keeping your mouth open during treatment.
"Highly professional and great customer service. I've been seeing Darris for many years now. Highly recommend River City Massage!"
"I enjoy Darris' deep tissue massages. She gets in there to get the knots out. She is also very good at adjusting her pressure when you tell her. I've gone to her when I've had short term injuries or pains that I can't even explain and she will work hard trying to determine the cause. Any time she hasn't had an answer for me right away she has taken the time to look into it and get back to me in a follow up. I've even had her refer me to other professionals when needed."
"Darris is amazing. I would highly recommend going there. It's very clean friendly place to go. She is not just there to give you a massage. She get to know you and what you want. I'm trying to go back but she gets booked up fast. Book with her I know you will be wanting to go back."
"Darris has great technique and is very open to feedback if you request more pressure or less pressure. I had deep tissue massage and found it effective. Overall, the massage was a great experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone!"
"The only place I go for massages. Location is convenient and the studio looks good. Darris offers really great massages and always listens to requests and always does a great job addressing pain. She's super friendly too!"
"Great Therapist, highly recommend. Nice place, even better treatment."
"I had my very first massage there, and Darris is very professional and she does a great job, as she was dealing with my sciatic, it’s gonna take a while to heal, I would recommend this place, just make an appointment."
