Massage Therapy in Downtown Seattle

Massage therapy built for downtown professionals

If you work in a downtown Seattle office, you already know what sitting at a desk for eight or more hours does to your body. Tight shoulders, a stiff neck, headaches that start at the base of your skull. These problems build up over weeks and months until they become constant background pain.

Maxwell Massage PLLC specializes in treating exactly these kinds of issues. Our clinic is located at 100 Wall St in Belltown, directly adjacent to downtown Seattle. Most downtown offices are a 5-10 minute walk away, making it easy to schedule a session during your lunch break or right after work.

Our therapists use deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy to break up the tension patterns that develop from prolonged sitting. These are targeted, clinical techniques. We find the specific muscles causing your pain and work them until they release.

Desk work creates predictable pain patterns. Your upper trapezius muscles tighten from hunching over a keyboard. Your neck flexors shorten from looking down at screens. Your hip flexors lock up from sitting all day. Left untreated, these patterns lead to chronic neck pain, shoulder pain, and recurring headaches.

Our therapists see these patterns every day. They know where to look for the trigger points that refer pain into your head, down your arms, or between your shoulder blades. Neuromuscular therapy is particularly effective for these desk-related conditions because it addresses the nerve and muscle interactions that cause referred pain.
