Testimonials

“I have been seeing Dr. Kirsten for 5 years, and find her to be positive, calm, knowledgeable and professional. For anyone looking for prenatal adjustments, I continued seeing her when I got pregnant and my appointments during pregnancy felt great. She has very affordable rates, and it is a breeze to make appointments online. I always feel great and balanced after visiting the office.”

Testimonials

“5 years ago, I injured my back and decided to seek out an alternative to traditional medicine since I had a newborn and was afraid a traditional doctor would suggest surgery. I found Dr. Kirsten and she was amazing! Within a couple weeks, my acute symptoms decreased substantially and in a few months time, my pain was nearly non-existent. Dr Petersen is very gentle with her technique, and spends much more time with you than the status quo. She listens to my needs, but also seems to zero in on areas which also need attention and I didn’t even realize until she applied pressure to the area. Highly recommended.”

Testimonials

“I feel so fortunate to have found such a knowledgeable, professional and accommodating chiropractor. I have been going to Dr. Kirsten for over two years and have fewer chronic back problems then I have ever had before. She has an amazing ability to hone in on exactly where your problem is and uses a range of techniques to help the body. And it is important to mention she is a genuinely nice person. I was referred to her and have since recommended her to almost everyone I know.”

Massage Therapy

Bodywork that goes somewhere

A great massage shouldn’t just feel good in the moment — it should change something. Our therapists draw from a rich toolkit: deep tissue work to release what’s been held too long, neuromuscular and trigger point therapy to address the source of pain rather than just the surface of it, craniosacral work to settle an overtaxed nervous system, and medical massage for those working through injury or recovery.

One session might call for deep, focused release. Another might call for something slower and more restorative. Your therapist reads the room — and reads you — and finds the right blend for that day.

 

Why Align Massage

  • Exceptional therapists — We hold our providers to a high standard. Every therapist we bring in is skilled, vetted, and invested in your outcomes.

  • Tailored every time — Your session is built around what you need that day, not a predetermined routine.

  • A healing environment — Our studio is bright, fresh, and thoughtfully designed. Clinical where it counts. Asthetic where it matters.

  • Add-on infrared sauna — Deepen your session with healing heat that works while you rest.

  • Collaborative care — Getting chiropractic care here at our studio or working with another provider? We welcome that input and coordinate around your broader health picture.
