Christina Mattson, LMT

Hello, my name is Christina Mattson and I have been practicing massage therapy full-time in Columbia, MO since 2013. I use myofascial release, deep tissue techniques, stretch, and relaxation techniques to address acute and chronic pain and tension, injury and surgery recovery, and the relief of stress. I am skilled at accommodating special needs and health conditions to make your session as comfortable as possible. My specialty is listening closely to your concerns and goals to ensure you receive an effective treatment customized to your needs.

Covid-19 Response

I opened this practice in the studio next to my home in response to the pandemic. I have taken these precautions to reduce the risk of Covid-19 during massage, and offer as safe a service as possible.

  • A solo practice within a professional space which allows you to avoid busy clinics.

  • Fully Covid-vaccinated and boosted practitioner.

  • Pre-screening of clients for symptoms.

  • Self-monitoring for symptoms and avoidance of high-risk environments.

  • The option to mask-- While I do not require them at this time, I am happy to mask up by request.

  • Cleaning and disinfection exceeding state standards, between each client.

  • A "Germ Guardian" true HEPA filter air purifier with UV sanitizer running during hours of operation.

Herbalism

From 2013 through 2016, I received an in-depth clinical herbalism education through the International Integrative Educational Institute. I have since developed an herbalism emphasis on pain and stress relief to compliment my massage practice and am working toward becoming a registered herbalist through the American Herbalists Guild.
