Peninsula since 1992, Winkelmann brings to Marquette General

Therapeutic massage is the gentle manipulation of soft body tissue through
rubbing or kneading to increase circulation and promote relaxation. Massage
has been found to enhance general health and well being.
Certified Massage Therapists (CMTs) specialize in the use and application
of therapeutic massage techniques. CMTs are required to go through extensive
professional
training and follow a code of ethics. Massage therapists apply a variety
of techniques to address particular needs.
MGHS massage therapists are available Monday through Friday by appointment.
A 30-minute session is $25; a 60-minute session is $40. Gift certificates
are available for sale at the Rehab Center or in the MGH Gift Shop.

receiving a massage are asked to check in at the Upper Michigan Rehabilitation
Center
desk, located on the third floor of the Robert C. Neldberg Building on College
Avenue.
