Some services may be covered by insurance—we can provide documentation for reimbursement.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit begins with a comprehensive intake where your practitioner will discuss your health history, current concerns, goals, and lifestyle factors. For massage or bodywork, you'll receive a customized treatment tailored to your needs—you'll undress to your comfort level and be professionally draped throughout. For acupuncture, your practitioner will assess your condition using traditional Chinese medicine diagnostics before placing fine needles at specific points. For training or physical therapy, expect movement assessments and functional testing. Many clients benefit from integrated sessions combining multiple modalities. First visits typically run 60-90 minutes and focus on understanding your unique situation and beginning your healing journey.

Do you offer integrated treatment plans combining multiple modalities?
Yes—this is one of our primary differentiators. We specialize in integrated treatment protocols that combine complementary modalities for faster, more complete healing. Common combinations include SoftWave therapy with massage and corrective exercise, acupuncture with clinical massage, cryotherapy with infrared therapy for orthopedic recovery, and physical therapy with personal training for injury rehab. Your practitioner will design a personalized plan based on your condition, goals, and response to treatment. Many clients see significantly better results with integrated approaches than they experienced with single-modality care elsewhere.
Are there any contraindications or conditions you don't treat?
Most people can safely receive our services, but certain conditions require medical clearance or modifications. For massage and bodywork: avoid if you have active infections, fever, uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent fractures, or blood clots. For acupuncture: inform your practitioner if you're pregnant, have a pacemaker, or are on blood thinners. For cryotherapy: not recommended if you have uncontrolled hypertension, cardiovascular disease, or Raynaud's syndrome. For exercise/training: certain injuries or conditions may require physician clearance. We always conduct thorough health screenings and work within appropriate scope of practice. When in doubt, call us at (434) 465-2905 to discuss your specific situation—we can often accommodate conditions with modifications or refer you to the right specialist.
“Amazing experience today! Joe did my massage and it was phenomenal. Drew worked on my daughter, Marni, for a sports massage to help with sciatic nerve pain. He was super knowledgeable and even explained additional treatment options that could help her long term — we plan to pursue that with him. We felt so well taken care of and will definitely be back! Thank you!”

“Transcending Health is hands-down the most comprehensive and truly integrative therapy experience I’ve ever had. In reality, I don't know of anything comparable in town or in my travels. I’ve received personalized massage, energy work, physiotherapy assessments, sound healing, SoftWave, reflexology, and cryotherapy here—and so has my husband. Every single session has been intentional, effective, and tailored to exactly what my body needed that day. Drew Edmondson is on a completely different level than what most people think of as “massage therapy.” He’s my first truly integrative therapist. His toolbox is so deep that in real time, he’s able to sense what’s needed and create the most intuitive, effective treatment session. In one appointment, the might weave together cupping, trigger point work, shiatsu, hot stone therapy, aromatherapy, and more—always with a clear therapeutic purpose, never just to “add something on.” I’ve also had the most energetically powerful and effective acupuncture sessions with Robin, especially after gallbladder surgery. Her work supported my recovery in a way that I could both feel and see in my day-to-day life. Drew has now opened a new gym space with even more options for therapy, and you can feel the integrity behind everything they offer. It’s not like other places where every single item on the menu is an upsell or an extra fee. The focus here is genuinely on healing, function, and long-term well-being. I know Drew desires to offer this level of body work and integrative care to more people with the hope that the barriers of cost and access are removed. If there is a way, he will find it. I could not be happier with my therapy sessions with Drew and, in the past, with Robin. If I could give Transcending Health 10 million stars, I would.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Transcending Health yesterday. From the moment we arrived till we left, our experience was relaxing, professional and absolutely first rate. My massage with Keanan was wonderful. Drew, Josiah, Keanan, Amy and all the staff made us feel welcomed and truly appreciated. Give Transcending Health a try. I promise you won't be disappointed! We will definitely going back.”

“I had been looking for negative energy cleansing when I stumbled upon this place. Their intro specials on Mindbody were too good to pass up! I got an hour long massage at the intro rate $75 (normally around $120-150) with Keanan. It was the best massage I've ever had. Intake was easy, he was very attentive. Pressure throughout the massage was just right. The post-session feedback time was great, Keanan is very knowledgable and provided great insight. I went back a few days later because they had a Rife Frequency therapy session for free as a promotion. I'm so glad I went, I will definitely do it again! Josiah was super friendly, and personable, he took time to explain everything very well, and was genuinely delightful throughout. I'm so glad to have discovered this gem, I will be a regular client. Thank you so much!”

“Today I got deep tissue massage from Keanen. From the start at from desk to the massage room was a great experience. The bed was already heated which relaxed my body. Keanen put a very soft Sufi meditation music and told me to meditate while he was preparing hot stones. Once he started from my forehead, I just knew he’s a healer. I didn’t expect his hands are so strong for his body size. I can 100% tell he’s very well trained and applying all his skills and knowledge that he had learned in his school. That’s the beauty of him compared to others. I will definitely go to him now onwards. My children said, mom, some small people are stronger than big people. I agree. I needed deep tissue massage and Keanen did for one whole hour without letting me wait in the room. It’s so inspiring to learn young people like him is interested in yoga and. meditation. We need more younger generations to learn meditation and yoga for the health of mind and body. Thank you.”
