You know exactly where it lives – that spot under your shoulder blade, the front of your hip with long drives, the low back tension after sitting for a while or the headaches that never seem to fully go away. You’ve tried stretching, massage, heat, foam rolling. It eases for a while, but nothing holds. 

It’s not just the pain. It’s bracing through a drive home. Shifting through a meeting. Losing focus because part of your attention is on your body instead of your work.

And underneath, something else is happening. When one structure can’t do its job, others take over. The issue spreads to muscles that weren’t the original problem. The longer the pattern holds, the more the body treats it as normal — which is why working around it doesn’t undo it.

That’s why treatment starts with finding out what’s actually going on, before any hands-on work begins.

Assessment

Every course of care begins with a thorough evaluation of health and injury history, posture, movement patterns, and muscular balance. What needs to be treated, in what order, and why is established before any hands-on work begins.

Treatment

Hands-on treatment includes sports and deep tissue massage, trigger point and myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, joint mobilization and passive stretching if indicated. We treat the current symptoms as well as related compensatory structures.

Homecare

Each session includes targeted homecare tied directly to the findings: a postural correction, a movement adjustment, a specific stretch. Guidance that builds on what was treated that day, and extends the benefits of the treatment in-between sessions.

“I work out a lot and had an ongoing hamstring injury that was not getting better, no matter what I tried. After my treatment course at Valenna Health, I am finally pain-free! We did deep tissue massage, trigger point work and assisted stretching. The space is very comfortable and convenient. Booking appointments was easy. I’ll continue coming for maintenance and already recommended Valenna to my friends and family!”

Geneva Manilova

FOUNDER & LEAD PRACTITIONER

Since 2010, Geneva has worked with clients as both a licensed massage therapist and a personal trainer. That combination allowed her to see how muscle imbalance, biomechanics, and posture are interconnected with muscle tension and pain. 

Studying neuroscience – including neurokinetic and neuromuscular therapy – gave her a deeper understanding of how the body regulates tension, movement, and recovery, and how to work with those systems to get long-lasting results. 

Geneva works with a wide range of clientele – from busy professionals and parents to business owners, athletes, and retirees. It’s common for her clients to stay for years and bring in family members, friends and colleagues. 

"I've had hundreds of massages at high-end resorts internationally. Geneva stands out. It takes much more skill to be therapeutic - and she individualizes treatment based on a thorough assessment."

What is orthopedic manual therapy?

Orthopedic manual therapy is hands-on treatment focused on the musculoskeletal system — muscles, fascia, joints, and the movement patterns that connect them. At Valenna Health, it combines structured assessment with precise soft tissue work to identify and address the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction, not just the symptoms.

What conditions do you treat?

Valenna Health works with persistent and recurring musculoskeletal pain, including back pain, shoulder dysfunction, hip pain, postural problems, and headaches with a structural component. If you have been told your imaging is normal but something still isn’t right, or if the same issue keeps returning despite treatment, this is the kind of work designed for that.

Massage typically focuses on soft tissue for relaxation, circulation, and general tension relief. Physical therapy emphasizes exercise and rehabilitation, with hands-on work playing a supporting role. Chiropractic care centers on joint adjustments and spinal alignment.

Orthopedic manual therapy at Valenna Health is hands-on throughout — the entire session is clinical soft tissue work guided by a full assessment. Treatment targets specific muscles, their attachments, trigger points, fascial relationships, and compensatory structures. The goal is structural resolution, not symptom management.

These disciplines are not in competition. Many of our patients also see a physiotherapist, chiropractor, or personal trainer, and we work well alongside other providers. What we offer is the thorough, sustained manual work that most other settings don’t have the time or focus to provide.

Orthopedic manual therapy focused on mobility, function, and long-term physical integrity.
