BELLA VISTA — Massage therapy is a natural way to improve your health and feel your best. It can help relieve tight muscles, increase circulation, improve the function of the immune system and much more. Be Free Massage Therapy in Bella Vista is ready to develop a treatment plan that helps you achieve your wellness goals.

Owner Alisa Johnson, L.M.T., is a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist with 11 years of experience. She is dedicated to high standards of practice, and provides quality care in a professional and ethical manner. Her willingness to be of service to the community and her clients has helped many feel and live better.

“Massage is a wonderful way to feel your best: Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually,” said Johnson. “It is never too late to start getting massage.” She is trained in therapeutic massage and deep tissue massage, as well as Hot Stone massage, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy and spa treatments.

“My passion is to help others live a more fulfilling life through physical well-being,” said Johnson. “I am willing to do whatever I can to improve the client experience and overall service. Bella Vista has provided me with a great opportunity to grow my practice while helping others to feeland live better.” Johnson annually pursues continuing education in the massage therapy field to maintain her National Certification status and to bring clients top quality services.

She advises clients to drink plenty of water before and after a massage and to come to each session ready to relax.

Contrary to what some might think, “Massage should not be painful to be effective,” said Johnson. “It’s important to communicate with your therapist, and to let them know if the pressure becomes so painful that you can no longer relax.” Be Free Massage features the 100% pure Woodsprite Organic Product Line that helps heal, nourish and replenish skin during massage and spa treatments. They also offer Sugar Glow, Salt Scrub, Therapeutic Back Cleansing and foot and hand treatments.

For the Special of the Month (September), enjoy a Therapeutic Back Cleansing that includes dry brushing to remove dead skin cells, followed by a Sugar Glow back treatment. Next, Sedona mud is applied to tone skin and draw out impurities. The treatment is completed with a back massage of your choice, using the Woodsprite Organic oil of your choice.
