What can I expect from my orthopedic massage?
During your orthopedic massage treatments, we will refer to our notes, looking for patterns or information that can illuminate pain patterns. We will plan your treatment for each session and explain other options to you. For example, Ashley might suggest strength training and provide you with a few exercises. In some cases, we might recommend a more in-depth approach, such as referring you to a personal trainer or physical therapist. We use assessment tests to identify potential limitations and determine treatment actions.
We support all genders, sexual orientations, races, religions, and are a proud member of the LGBTQIA. This is a Mexican women owned private practice y te ofresco tu tratamiento en espanol si prefiere.
I went to Ashley out of desperation after over a month of hip pain. I had done all the things recommended such as PT, therapeutic massage, ice, heat, stretching, Aleve, etc without relief. I was waking up from sleep and tweaking my position all day trying to get comfortable. The treatment with Ashley was unlike any I have experienced before. I didn't have to say anything other than my complaint and she hit on all the spots. After a single session with Ashley I am thrilled to report that the pain is down to 10% and I expect that to get better as the sensitivity calms. I feel like my PT exercises will be more helpful now that she has released the tissues in the area. I greatly appreciated that her recommendations for follow up were monthly and then every 4 months and she wasn't trying to over-prescribe her treatments.She is knowledgeable, skilled, and caring. I am incredibly grateful and will be returning and recommending her care to many others.
Ever since I visited Ashley last week, its completely changed how I view massage therapy. Ashley was very friendly, helpful, and methodical. I've had a few massages in the past and it was the first time I really felt like I had received basically a prescription that finally relieved my back, neck, and shoulder tension. I didn't notice the difference right away but later I was like WOW because I seriously feel so much better. Plus, her work didn't cause me any pain during or afterwards AT ALL (which is a huge plus since that fear was the reason I had been putting it off). The music, ambiance, location, and price is super great too. I can't wait to buy gift certificates for my staff to see Ashley, too!
Ashley has taken me from hardly able to walk to dancing and performing numerous times. As a person with chronic pain due to countless accidents(who was at a time temporarily crippled from the neck down), the trust I have in her knowledge and ability to read nonverbal limits is immense. This is necessary when looking at recovery.
Her willingness to share her knowledge on simple yet effective techniques to balance leg length and various other pointed methods of relief has changed my life for the better.
Truly as good as it gets.
One of the best massages I've ever had.. Perfect pressure. Great communication. Great intuition. Very nice space. I can definitely recommend Ashley's excellent practice to anyone.
If you are looking for rehabilitation / Orthopedic massage I highly recommend Tranquil Therapy owner and provider Ashley. I have been working with her for about 4 months to recover from a severe frozen shoulder situation and I couldn't be happier. Check out all her services.

Our Foundations
Tranquil Therapy started in a small art studio, 2033 Frankford ave, in the heart of fishtown Philadelphia. Ashley loved being surrounded by new local art so much that she has carried that onto every studio she’s been in. When you see art in our studios you’re seeing local artists. We are excited to fill our walls with Lancaster artists! Check out what’s in the studio.
Myofascial (MRT) work and the biopsychosocial model are a part of Tranquil Therapy’s foundation.
