Precision Myofascial Therapy Clinic

Formerly The Velvet Lotus Massage Spa

Precision Myofascial Therapy Clinic

Hi My name is Traviata “Maria”Raudales, Licensed Massage Therapist, #M06681. I am a Barnes certified Myofascial Release Specialist, with more than 5 specific certifications in Myofascial Therapy from the Pesi Institute, John Barnes, and Maria Alfieris,etc.  Precision Myofascial Therapy Clinic, our mission is to treat the root cause of chronic pain (not just the symptoms) by releasing fascial restrictions in the body to help you achieve balance and get back to the activities that you once enjoyed.

A Different Standard of Care

At Precision Myofascial Therapy Clinic, we approach pain relief differently. Lasting results don’t come from heavy, indiscriminate pressure. They come from precision, advanced training, and a clear understanding of how the body responds to touch.  We do not offer Swedish or deep tissue massage. Those methods are designed for relaxation or temporary relief. Our focus is clinical care using Myofascial Release, a hands-on technique that targets the connective tissue to create measurable, lasting change in the body.

Why Traditional Massage Falls Short

Many clients come to us after trying massage at spas or franchises and feeling frustrated when their pain returns within a few days. That’s not a failure on their part. It’s a limitation of the model.Most high-volume environments rely on oil-based techniques and continuous movement over the skin. This prevents access to the fascia, where many chronic pain patterns originate. Sessions are often rushed, generalized, and not designed to address structural dysfunction.  The result is relief that fades quickly, leaving clients stuck in a cycle of temporary fixes.

What Makes Our Work Clinical

Our work is built on extensive continuing education in myofascial therapy, pain science, and structural dysfunction. We’ve completed advanced training through the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release approach, along with specialized coursework in fascial pelvis work and chronic pain patterns.  Before formal certification, we were already working hands-on with a high volume of clients each month, refining these techniques in real clinical settings. That experience shaped a results-driven approach focused on outcomes that hold, not short-term relief.  This is not a routine massage. Every session is intentional and based on what your body actually needs.

Postural Mapping & Structural Assessment

We don’t guess. We assess.  Each treatment track begins with postural mapping and structural assessment to identify imbalances that are contributing to your pain. This includes analyzing how your body is positioned, where tension is being stored, and how different areas are compensating for one another.  This step is critical. Without understanding the root cause, treatment becomes trial and error. With it, we can create a targeted plan that addresses the source of the problem, not just the symptoms.

Treatment Tracks That Create Change

Myofascial Release is not a one-time fix. It is a cumulative process that requires consistency for the body to adapt and hold change.  That’s why we offer structured Treatment Tracks instead of random, isolated sessions.  Each track is designed to guide you through a specific phase of recovery. We begin by reducing immediate discomfort, then progress into addressing deeper restrictions, and ultimately work toward full structural balance.  These tracks include clinical assessment, charting, and a clear treatment strategy. This level of care is not offered in spa or franchise settings, where the focus is volume rather than progression.  Our approach ensures that each session builds on the last, creating momentum instead of starting over every time.

Procedures You Won’t Find in a Spa

Our clinic was designed to remove the limitations found in traditional massage environments.  We utilize techniques and procedures that are not offered in spas or franchises, including targeted fascial engagement, structural repositioning, and guided treatment planning based on your individual presentation.  We also incorporate positioning support when needed to help the body release more effectively and reduce strain on already restricted areas.  Every aspect of your care is intentional and clinically driven.

Results That Last

We believe chronic pain, restricted movement, and postural strain should not be accepted as normal.  Our goal is not to provide a temporary escape, but to help restore balance in the body so you can move freely and live without constant discomfort.  At Precision Myofascial Therapy Clinic, the difference is not just in how the work feels during the session, but in how your body responds in the days and weeks that follow.This is not relaxation massage. This is results-driven care.

Maria gave me an amazing massage. I grew up with my family owning a wellness center and have had many massages. Hers absolutely stood out above the rest. She was very generous and offered me multiple techniques. She can offer relaxation massages or more therapeutic methods like myofascial release, cupping, and hot stones. It really helped me with some tension issues. I hope to visit her again soon! 10/10 highly recommend!
