Massage & Bodywork
Get rid of the stress you have been holding on to and make movement easy again with our deep tissue massage in Columbus, Ohio. Sybil Baker, RN, LMT, offers firm, focused care.

Most of the time, when someone first comes to us, they have one common complaint: neck or back pain that just won't loosen up regardless of how many times they stretch. That's where our deep tissue massage becomes useful. Sybil, a registered nurse and licensed massage therapist with over 20 years of experience, works those muscles at Comprehensive Vitality.
You don't need to be an athlete to book. Plenty of our clients just sit all day, and some still feel an old injury now and then. Sybil begins with a short talk about where it hurts and what you want, builds a plan around it, and checks the pressure as she goes.
Pressure strong enough to reach the muscles beneath and break up knots formed through prolonged sitting.
Working on tight muscles near a hip or knee can help the joint feel freer, so stairs and car seats may feel easier.
Improves blood flow in sore muscles after a long run or leg day, so you feel lighter the next day.
Slow pressure in a quiet room — by the end your shoulders have dropped, and sleep tends to come easier that night.

Your visit begins with a talk about your needs. Sybil then shapes the session and a longer-term plan around them.
Too firm? Too light? Say so. Sybil checks in along the way, and you can speak up whenever you like.
The room is quiet and clean, with nothing rushed about it. Come in, settle down, and let your shoulders drop.
Our care is shaped around busy professional women, so sessions focus on the stress and tension a full schedule brings.
Visit us at 48 E. North Broadway in Columbus. Sessions are by appointment, 9 am to 4 pm.
Tight muscles do not have to stay that way. Call 1-888-825-7271 or schedule a visit, and Sybil will follow up.
Questions
It can be, a little. When the therapist reaches a tight spot, you'll feel it, and that's normal — but sharp or burning pain isn't. If the pressure is too much, just tell them and they'll back off.
Mostly people with tightness that won't go away, like a stiff neck from desk work, sore shoulders from lifting, or a back that never quite recovered from an old injury.
There's no set number. If your muscles are really tight, every two weeks is common to begin with. Once they loosen up, most people stretch it to once a month.
Swedish is the gentle one — long, light strokes mainly to help you relax. Deep tissue is slower and firmer, going after the muscles underneath.
Arrive early and wear something comfortable. Tell your therapist about any tender or injured areas beforehand, and drink plenty of water after the session.
