Oak Haven Massage adds orthopedic massage and somatic release at North Austin location

Oak Haven Massage is spotlighting orthopedic massage and somatic release at its MoPac/2222 location in North Austin, where the team is targeting stress-related pain and anxiety for Austin’s professional workforce. The move builds on a licensed network of six locations across the Austin and San Antonio metro areas and adds services tied to growing demand for nervous-system-focused bodywork.

Why it matters: - Workplace stress is affecting a large share of employees, and Oak Haven Massage is positioning orthopedic massage and somatic release as tools for addressing how stress shows up in the body. - The North Austin MoPac/2222 location sits near a dense cluster of technology companies, corporate headquarters and professional services firms. - The service mix is aimed at clients dealing with chronic tension, stress-related pain and anxiety.

What happened: - Oak Haven Massage is highlighting orthopedic massage and somatic release services at its MoPac/2222 location in North Austin. - The location is staffed in part by Bri, a native Austinite and licensed massage therapist who has practiced since 2011. - Bri has advanced training in Orthopedic Massage, Shiatsu I and II, Reiki and breathwork-integrated somatic release techniques.

The details: - The company says the MoPac/2222 team takes a bodywork approach that addresses physical patterns tied to chronic stress and anxiety. - Bri specializes in complex soft tissue dysfunction, TMJ, migraines, range-of-motion limitations and anxiety. - The session design is tailored for special populations that benefit from a more attentive and individualized approach. - Somatic release uses the idea that emotional and psychological stress can become physically encoded in musculature and connective tissue. - Breathwork cues are used during sessions to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and support deeper tissue work. - Oak Haven Massage says this approach treats the nervous system as part of the treatment target, not just a secondary effect. - The MoPac location is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. - The location also offers infrared sauna sessions. - Membership credits can be shared among family members and used any day of the week.

Between the lines: - Gallup’s 2024 Global Workplace Report found that 41% of employees report significant daily stress. - A 2024 systematic review in the Journal of Osteopathic Medicine analyzed 34 high-quality studies and found manual therapy modalities, including massage therapy, produced meaningful reductions in anxiety symptoms across a broad range of participants. - Oak Haven Massage is using that backdrop to frame its North Austin services as more than relaxation, and more as stress-management care for an overworked professional corridor.

What's next: - Oak Haven Massage says standard per-session and monthly membership options are available at the MoPac/2222 location. - The company also points clients to a full team of licensed therapists across multiple specialties and tier levels. - Oak Haven Massage is continuing to market services across its six locations in the Austin and San Antonio metro areas.

The bottom line: - Oak Haven Massage is betting that orthopedic massage plus somatic release will resonate with Austin clients looking for targeted relief from stress, anxiety and tension-related pain.
