Therapeutic Massage That Starts With Understanding Your Body
Personalized therapeutic massage for chronic pain, complex conditions, injury recovery, and post-surgical care.
Your body isn’t the same from one appointment to the next, and your massage shouldn’t be either.
At Productive & Therapeutic Massage, I take the time to understand what you’re experiencing and how your body is responding. Each session is customized based on your individual needs, your current symptoms, and what I find through assessment.
More Than a Massage
Therapeutic massage isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience.
Before and throughout your appointments, I assess how your body is moving and responding. Depending on your needs, this may include looking at posture and gait, checking range of motion, assessing muscle tension and tissue quality through palpation, and considering previous injuries, surgeries, current activities, and other factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. Your treatment is then adapted to what your body needs that day.
As your sessions progress, I explain what I’m finding and check in with you about changes in your symptoms and movement. This ongoing conversation allows us to recognize progress, make adjustments when needed, and help you better understand your own body.
When appropriate, I can also provide treatment notes that may help you communicate your experience and findings with members of your healthcare team.
My goal is not simply to give you a massage. It is to provide individualized therapeutic care and help you become more informed about your body in the process.
Experience With Complex & Rare Conditions
I have developed a particular interest in working with individuals living with complex, chronic, and rare conditions.
I know that managing a chronic condition can involve navigating symptoms, treatment, uncertainty, and a healthcare system that doesn’t always “see you” for everything you are experiencing.
My goal is not only to provide individualized therapeutic care, but to help you better understand what I’m observing in your body, understand how your symptoms may relate to what we’re finding during massage, and feel more equipped to communicate and advocate for yourself with your healthcare team.
I offer complimentary consultations for individuals who would like to discuss their condition and determine whether therapeutic massage may be appropriate for their individual needs.
Experience includes working with clients living with conditions such as:
- Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
- Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)
- Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Raynaud’s phenomenon…and other complex or rare conditions.
Don’t see your diagnosis listed? That doesn’t necessarily mean I can’t work with you! A consultation gives us an opportunity to discuss your individual situation and determine whether my services may be appropriate.

Your massage therapist, Alicia Arocho, works with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, but the goal is the same: to receive care that is specific to them to improve or enhance their quality of life.
I listen. I assess. I treat. I reassess. And I adjust.
Over time, this individualized approach allows us to recognize patterns, track changes, and develop a better understanding of what helps your body respond.
