About Us
After numerous years of running their own successful rehabilitative massage businesses, owners, Daniela Becker and Robyn Graham, recognized the pressing need for more specialized therapists in the field. While the area is abundant with spas and therapists that offer pampering and relaxation massages, there seemed to be a scarcity of therapists who specialize in genuine therapeutic massage.
This led Robyn Graham and Daniela Becker to embark on a mission to assemble a team of like-minded therapists who possess expertise in rehabilitating injuries, improving range of motion, correcting posture, and effectively treating various disorders to alleviate chronic pain suffered by many. Their efforts culminate in Align Massage Center, a dedicated place of healing committed to providing unparalleled therapeutic massage services.
