Our Therapist
Angela Thomas
Hi, meet Angela Thomas, I am a License Massage Therapist with an extensive background in physical therapy. I have completed certification and recognition as a Medical Massage Therapist. My education and specification in areas of Manual Therapy, Soft Tissue Mobilization, Sports Massage, Myofascial Release, Infant Massage, Neuromuscular Reeducation and Fibromyalgia. I have been providing Massage Therapy Services to the Charlotte, North Carolina area since (2015} and Physical Therapy for over twenty years throughout North and South Carolina. During this time, I have helped relieve pain from injuries, stress, accidents, as well as treating multiple Neurological and Orthopedic conditions.
My Holistic therapy approach is treating the whole person mind, body and spirit! My belief is that I can’t treat an ailment without treating the mind, spirit and then focus on physical conditions. My mission is to support individuals in achieving optimal health and life balance through personal wellness and ongoing support. I am a firm believer in connecting the mind, body, and soul, which serves as a catalyst for my dedication to the field of massage therapy.
While working in the physical therapy field, I quickly realized the need for not only rehabilitative service, but services that allowed for a more personal touch! The touch and experience of my hands provides the sensory of comfort, relaxation, increase circulation and quickly delivers the sense of healing.
