FOR THE ACTIVE, THE AMBITIOUS, THE FIT, THE PERFECTIONISTS, THE ASPIRING…
WE ARE HERE FOR YOU
To reconnect with you with your body, improve control, resolve old injuries, soothe stress & reactivity, and regain hope and resilience so you can thrive without feeling held back by pain or stiffness.
Because no one knows you better than yourself, and you’re ready to THRIVE!
LET'S GET STARTED
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
Nerve
Unlocking
If you’re experiencing tingling, numbness, or pain due to nerve compression, it’s time to restore harmony. We address the root cause of:
- Carpal Tunnel
- Sciatica
- Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
- Limb fatigue or weakness
- Muscle spasms
Healing isn’t masking symptoms—it’s restoring your body’s natural balance. Let’s get started.
Performance
Optimization
Work smarter, not harder—your body deserves the same approach. Pushing through pain and stiffness forces it out of sync, leading to limitations. Regular care keeps you aligned for lasting energy, mobility, and resilience. Ideal for those who:
- Feel good but want to optimize
- Have minor pains to prevent bigger issues
- Are active and want faster recovery
You deserve to live without limitations. Let’s soothe pain, retrain your brain-body connection, and create sustainable change so you can move with ease and joy.
Positional
Reset
If persistent pain from injuries, stiffness, or daily discomfort is holding you back, it’s time for a reset. We help with:
- TMJ, headaches, neck/shoulder pain
- Lower back stiffness, sciatica, tight hips
- Vertigo, dizziness
- Feeling “stuck”
Let’s keep you aligned so pain and injuries aren’t your norm.
HI FROM LARISA
Welcome! I’m Larisa, owner, movement practitioner and Ashiatsu Massage Therapist here at A Step Above Massage. My career spans 30 years in anatomy and kinesiology, along with a decade of hands-on molecular biology research and applied ecology.
Now, we blend these sciences so our community of ambitious individuals and burnt-out professionals in Albuquerque, NM can move through life with ease, vitality, and joy.
As a lifelong ambitious perfectionist myself, I’m waaaaay too familiar with the kind of pressure you withstand. So I know how disheartening it feels when pain and stiffness hold you back– and it’s especially frustrating when you’ve been to a doctor and they don’t have any answers.
Because living in alignment with your passions isn’t just goals, it’s who you are.
Our mission is to listen, to guide, and empower you with the tools and knowledge you need to heal and take control of your wellbeing so you can do MORE of what you love, with less pain and more fluidity, so you can return to the pursuit of greatness that makes you feel alive.
