A Step Beyond Massage Therapy

A Step Beyond Massage Therapy is a popular practice located in Downtown State College, Pennsylvania, near the Pennsylvania State University. They offer a wide range of massage therapies, including Deep Tissue Massage, Sports Massage, Lymph Drainage, Shiatsu, Swedish Massage, Myofascial Release, Hot Stone Massage, and Contrast Therapy. The practice is fully insured, licensed, and staffed by Certified Professional Massage Therapists with the American Massage Therapy Association.

Clients have described the massage experience as professional, clean, and wonderful. Many have found relief from chronic pain and tightness, especially those with issues like neck fusion or muscles that are almost completely locked up. One client with a nagging shoulder pain found that the therapist was able to work it out with ease. Another, suffering from intense pain and difficulty breathing, experienced significant improvement after just one session, with Derek McGrath helping to relax muscles and improve breathing.

The staff is very attentive and kind, making sure clients are comfortable and checked in during treatments. Many clients appreciate the therapist’s ability to target trigger points and create a space for relaxation. Some clients have received specific advice, including exercises to do at home, which have helped maintain the benefits. Although on-site parking can be limited, the overall experience is highly recommended for those seeking effective body work and relaxation.
