About State 48 Massage
Personalized Bodywork—Not a One-Size-Fits-All Massage
State 48 Massage is Arizona Native-owned & locally operated, in The Islands neighborhood of Gilbert, at Warner and Cooper. Our focus is corrective bodywork — assessment-based, goal-oriented sessions aimed at pain relief, mobility, and recovery — alongside relaxation and wellness massage for clients who simply want to unwind.
Our clients are athletes, desk workers, weekend warriors, and busy parents, often dealing with the same handful of familiar patterns: neck and shoulder tension from long hours at a screen, low-back and hip tightness, jaw tension, and postural strain built up over months or years.
Our Approach
Every corrective bodywork session begins with a personalized assessment.
Our goal is to help you move better, reduce pain, and better understand what may be contributing to your discomfort through individualized treatment and education — not just temporary relief.
Corrective bodywork may help address muscular tension and movement restrictions associated with concerns such as neck and shoulder pain, headaches, low-back and hip tension, sciatic-type discomfort, TMJ and jaw tension, plantar fascia and heel discomfort, repetitive-use strain, and sports recovery.
We work with a wide range of clients — from youth and competitive athletes to healthcare professionals, business professionals, active adults, and people who simply did not realize therapeutic bodywork was an option.
How We Work
We Evaluate First
Every Corrective Bodywork session begins with a personalized conversation and movement evaluation, so the work is directed at the pattern rather than only the sore spot.
We Combine Techniques Rather Than Following a Script
A corrective session may draw from myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, trigger point and deep tissue work, cupping, scraping, hot stones, Tok Sen, TMJ work, and lymphatic techniques — selected for you, not from a fixed menu.
We Keep You in the Conversation
Using a 0–10 pain scale, we aim for the 5–7 Sweet Spot and check in throughout. The work should feel productive, never past your tolerance.
We Want You to Need Us Less
Our goal is not to keep you in treatment indefinitely. It is to help you move more comfortably, understand your body better, and keep making progress between visits.
Choosing Your Session
Two therapists, two different kinds of session. Pick the one that matches what you are looking for, or call (623) 234-9399 and we will help you choose.
Corrective Bodywork • Nervous System Reset
Garrick, LMT
After 27 years of detailed, hands-on aerospace work, Garrick brings a patient, precision-focused approach to bodywork. Every session begins with assessment rather than a preset routine, and longer visits may stay entirely on one problem area.
Your session may combine myofascial release, neuromuscular and trigger-point work, sports massage, Tok Sen, cupping, assisted stretching, or focused TMJ/jaw work. Pressure is adjusted to you—precision does not require unnecessarily painful force.
Best fit for: chronic tightness, restricted movement, recurring problem areas, athletic or postural compensation, and clients who have not gotten lasting change from a standard massage.
Relaxation & Therapeutic Massage
Lily, LMT
With more than 10 years of massage experience, Lily provides personalized relaxation and therapeutic massage for stress relief, everyday muscle tension, mobility, and restorative care.
Each session is adjusted to your goals and preferred pressure. Depending on the service booked, her work may include Swedish, Deep Tissue, flowing Lomi Lomi, Thai-inspired stretching and compression, Hot Stone, or Cupping.
Best fit for: a traditional full-body massage, relaxation, adjustable pressure, restorative care, or clients who prefer a female therapist.
