How Sunrise patients actually get here
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Massage Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Sunrise patients who drive 22 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
If you are a psych patient, we confirm massage is adjunctive.
Session in a private room.
Access from Sunrise
