Licensed Massage Therapist | Sports Massage | Injury Recovery | Performance & Mobility
Julia Sullivan brings more than a decade of experience in therapeutic massage, sports recovery, and injury-focused treatment to Performance Physical Therapy.
Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing muscular tension, improving mobility, or looking to support athletic performance, Julia works collaboratively with each client to develop a personalized treatment approach focused on meaningful, sustainable results.
Massage therapy visits are cash pay (cash, card, or check) and cannot be billed to insurance. Payment is due at the time of service.
Sports Massage
Sports massage focuses on the muscles and soft tissues involved in your activities, with treatment tailored to your training, recovery needs, and goals. It may suit runners, athletes, golfers, and other active individuals looking to address muscular tension and support comfortable movement. You don’t need to be a competitive athlete to benefit from this approach.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage uses slow, focused techniques to work with deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It may suit people experiencing persistent muscular tightness or stiffness related to work, daily activities, or exercise. Pressure is adjusted to your comfort and tolerance—treatment does not need to be painful to be effective.
Orthopedic Massage
Orthopedic massage focuses on muscles and soft tissues that may contribute to pain, stiffness, or restricted movement. Julia tailors each session to your symptoms, comfort, and goals, using targeted techniques to address specific areas of concern. This approach may suit people managing musculoskeletal discomfort, recovering from an injury, or seeking massage to complement their physical therapy care.
