About Active Body Needs Therapeutic Massage & Wellness Center
The Active Body Needs Therapeutic Massage & Wellness Center offers orthopedic sports massage to treat injury and associated pain, with an emphasis on improving function and athletic performance. The center has received excellent reviews from athletes, including an Australian distance runner who won gold at the Pan American Masters Championships after receiving massage therapy from the center. A thrower who competed at the Pan Am Masters in Cleveland also praised the center, noting that the 15-minute post-event massage sessions were perfect for moving out lactic acid and stiffness, leaving them feeling fresh and ready for the next day's events. A professional runner who frequently visits the center in Des Moines also highly recommends the services provided.
Andrea is a staple at Master’s track meets! She offers a great service to athletes competing. She has strong hands & a great knowledge of anatomy! I hope to see her at ALL of our meets!
Andrea is an amazing massage therapist with her knowledge of athletes issues specifically swimmers. She really helped me through an injury at a meet and I was able to compete well. She tailored the session to my needs and I had great results. I highly recommend her services for a quick fix, flush after or prep for a swim. She works with teams as well as individuals.
I started seeing Andrea on the first day of Track competition when I had the 1500m, Still going through Jet Lag after only arriving One and a bit days before.
