Hello, I’m TC (Theresa) Youngblood, owner of Redding’s Art of Touch Therapeutic Massage, I’m a Certified Massage Therapist with over 18 years of professional experience as a full-time massage therapist. I founded Art of Touch Therapeutic Massage in 1999. I re-located to Redding CA with my family in 2002. I was born and grew-up, and married right here in Redding.

I work with your health care providers to provide the individual attention that you need, and can also work with your insurance company. I enjoy working closely with my clients, helping them to rehabilitate muscles in their bodies.

My massage training came from the Desert Resorts School Of Somatherapy, located in Palm Springs, CA. Other massage therapy training came from the Chico Therapy Massage School. I also attend training seminars in San Francisco, CA annually. I am a member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals, and located here in Redding, CA.

One way to deal with the stress in your life is to use therapeutic massage. Therapeutic massage manipulates your soft body tissue in order to provide relief on your muscles and therefore on your entire body.

Massage therapy is also frequently prescribed for those who have specific health care needs, and can be a wonderful way for a pregnant woman to give her body a bit of release from the weight that it carries.

Massage is the practice of applying structured pressure, tension, motion or vibration — manually or with mechanical aids — to the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, joints and lymphatic vessels, to achieve a beneficial response. A form of therapy, massage can be applied to parts of the body or successively to the whole body, to heal injury, relieve psychological stress, manage pain, and improve circulation. Where massage is used for its physical and psychological benefits, it may be termed “therapeutic massage therapy” or manipulative therapy.
