More Than Relief, A Treatment Plan Built to Actually Resolve Something
Every session in the Relief Program is structured around one question: why is this happening? Not just where it hurts, but what structural or postural pattern is driving the pain in the first place.
What You Can Expect:
A full postural and movement assessment in your first session
Hands-on structural work targeting the origin of your pain, not just the site of it
Techniques calibrated to your specific tension patterns and compensations
Sessions that feel different from standard massage—more focused, more clinical, more targeted
A clear explanation of what was found and what was addressed before you leave
Progress tracking across all 5 sessions to ensure pain doesn't return

How The Relief Program Works (5 Sessions)
Session 1: Assessment & Goal Setting
Your first session maps the landscape, where the pain lives, what's driving it, and what your body needs to shift. We establish a clear treatment direction from day one.
This is your Root Cause Session: a full postural and movement assessment followed by hands-on structural work targeting the origin of your pain.
Sessions 2-5: Personalized Treatment That Compounds
Each session draws from our full range of techniques, selected and sequenced for your body. Deep Tissue where tension is locked in. MLD where inflammation lingers. Alignment work where structure needs support.
As your body responds, the work refines. You'll feel the difference session by session, and leave each appointment understanding your body better than when you walked in.
60 min: $1,070 — 75 min: $1,350 — 90 min: $1,650 Includes your Root Cause Session plus 4 follow-up sessions

Chronic Pain That Goes Untreated Doesn't Hold Still
It spreads. Tension in one area recruits compensation in another. Sleep suffers. Energy drops. What started as a sore back becomes a pattern that touches everything.
Booking a single session when it gets unbearable is not a plan. The Relief Program is. It's the difference between reacting to pain and building a body that no longer needs to.
Every week without structured treatment is a week that pattern deepens. Don't let it.
Imagine Having a Body You Trust Again
Not bracing before you lift something. Not calculating whether tonight's activity will cost you tomorrow. Just moving, freely, fully, without a second thought.
That's what clients who complete the Relief Package describe.
A treatment plan tailored to their specific pain history. Sessions that compound into real structural change. A body that finally learned a different way to be.
This is what intentional, progressive massage therapy looks like at Dharma Massage & Wellness, 420 Post Road West, Westport, CT.
