“I can’t say enough about Danielle at kontråst! I had terrible neck and shoulder pain for 3 months and after 3 massage sessions that pain is gone. Now, we just work out regular soreness from climbing. If you have pain or just want a tuneup, I can’t overstate how great kontråst is!”

“Fantastic, so excited for the new location. I’ve been going to Megan for about 5 years and she has been amazing both with deep tissue massage and with ideas and suggestions for stretching and exercises that have helped prevent further injuries. Can’t wait to try the cold plunge next visit.”
