“She asked about problem areas and focused on them — and even found a few I didn’t realize I had.”
— Groupon Review (Verified Client), 2016

 

In many cases, multiple areas are interconnected, particularly when tension is influenced by posture, movement habits, or cumulative stress. Session focus may shift as your needs evolve.

Billing:
Therapeutic manual therapy may be billed to insurance when applicable, or scheduled as self-pay.

Restorative and Relaxation-Focused Care

For those seeking full-body support and nervous system relief, we offer restorative sessions focused on comfort and decompression. These sessions are ideal for general wellness, stress reduction, and recovery from emotional or physical fatigue.

 

“I was able to let the therapist know what areas I thought needed attention and she focused on those areas. I always get a good massage.”
— Verified Client (Booking Platform), September 2024

 

Common session focus areas include:

  • General full-body relaxation

  • Neck and upper back tension related to stress

  • Leg and foot care for fatigue or overuse

  • Gentle, calming bodywork to support rest

These sessions are delivered within the same clinically grounded framework and documented accordingly.

Billing: Some restorative sessions may qualify for insurance billing if they are part of a treatment plan addressing a diagnosed condition and prescribed by a licensed provider. While these sessions often support relaxation and nervous system regulation, coverage depends on referral details and medical necessity.

Session Lengths

Sessions are available in four time frames:

  • 30 minutes

  • 60 minutes

  • 90 minutes

  • 120 minutes

Session length is determined based on your goals, preferred pace, and scope of work. Guidance is available if you're unsure what length is most appropriate.

How Services Are Structured

Arctic Dawn does not offer service tiers based on technique. Instead, care is customized for each individual and evolves in collaboration with the client over time. This allows for flexibility, responsiveness, and appropriateness, whether you're seeking targeted therapeutic intervention or broader restorative care.

Scheduling Services

Appointments may be scheduled directly. For insurance billing, referral requirements must be met prior to your session.
