Wonderful team! I feel the are dedicated to helping each patient. I always feel like they are listening to my concerns and address them with manageable steps and a professional approach.
Tight muscles and knots need more than a light rub. Deep tissue massage works deep, layer by layer. We've worked on hundreds of backs and necks here in Maple Grove. In our experience, this is what finally helps old knots let go.

Do your shoulders stay tight and won't let go? Deep tissue work can help with that. It also helps low back pain that stretching can't fix. We see this a lot in drivers who take I-94 or I-494 into Minneapolis. They sit at a desk for hours, and that builds up tension. We also see it in folks who shovel heavy snow in older Weaver Lake neighborhoods. They wake up with a stiff back. Last winter, we helped a man who hurt his back shoveling his driveway twice in one week. Deep tissue massage reaches deep muscle layers that a light massage can't touch. It helps break up knots and boost blood flow.[1] One thing most folks don't realize: waiting makes it worse, not better.
Elm Creek Business Park commuters often carry tight necks and shoulders from hours at a screen. Deep tissue work loosens that tension right up.
Heavy, wet Minnesota snow can strain your lower back fast. We work out the knots before they turn into lasting pain.
Hockey and soccer players from Fernbrook fields often show up with tight hips and calves. Deep tissue helps them heal faster between games.
Long-term lower back tension often pairs well with our spinal decompression and chiropractic care.
After a car crash or sports injury, deep tissue helps you move better once the sharp pain fades.
Spring pollen and daily stress can tighten your neck and jaw. We work those spots out directly.
Tight muscles won't fix themselves. Left alone, they pull on joints and hurt your posture. Our in-house licensed massage therapists work with Dr. Tieri's chiropractic care. Your muscle tension gets treated as part of your whole care plan. We don't just treat it as an extra add-on. We've seen how much faster Maple Grove patients heal this way. In our view, that team approach makes all the difference.
Don't let tight muscles turn into a bigger problem. Our massage therapist team works as part of your full care plan. That's how you get relief that lasts. We've watched this approach work for years around Maple Grove, and we still believe in it.
We keep things simple so you know what to expect from day one.
We ask where it hurts, how long it's lasted, and what makes it worse. This helps us focus on what you need most.
Our massage therapist works slowly through tight muscle layers. They focus on knots, not just a quick full-body rub.
If needed, we add Dr. Tieri's chiropractic adjustments or decompression therapy. That way your muscles and spine heal together.
Price depends on how long you book and how much work your body needs. A 30-minute session on one spot costs less than a full 90-minute one. We give you a clear price before we start, so there are no surprises. Many Maple Grove patients add massage to chiropractic visits, which can change your total cost.
Wonderful team! I feel the are dedicated to helping each patient. I always feel like they are listening to my concerns and address them with manageable steps and a professional approach.
Very friendly very staff I feel like a new person walking out the door
I will go to total spine until the day I move out of Minnesota (which is probably never). Amazing!!! I get so excited everytime my appointments coming up 🥳
This clinic is amazing. I found it after searching for an alternative to surgery that my doctor advised for a diagnosed herniated disc in my neck. I was a bit skeptical that anything but surgery could fix my issue, given the amount of pain I had experienced for over 4 weeks with physical therapy and medication. I’m SO thankful for finding Total Spine Health & Injury Center/Dr. Brent Teiri. My plan included chiropractic, laser therapy, and traction. I started feeling less pain after 2 weeks of treatment and am back to living my life normally at the end of my treatment plan. Dr. Teiri and his team are all so caring and supportive. All around, such a great experience. I am so thankful for this team and their support for my recovery!
Staff and Dr Brent are great. Recently did spinal decompression and it felt amazing. See them regularly for my back issues.
I came to see Dr. Tieri a few months ago because my neck was giving me a lot of problems. I'd had a headache for six weeks, was having trouble sleeping, and had issues with the motor functions in my hands as well as arm pain. (By trade I am a welder so this was a massive issue for me.) He discovered that I had 4 cervical vertebrae that were not moving. I knew I had a compressed C6-C7 before I saw him but did not know things had gotten that bad.
I'm not going to go into detail but three months later it's like a new lease on life. No pain, no headaches, no electricity shooting down my arms, no swelling in my neck.... Total change in quality of life. I didn't realize how bad it was until it wasn't.
I totally recommend Total Spine and Dr. Tieri! Especially if other places just couldn't help.
Amazing 100/10 they keep me in one piece literally 💯highly recommend
The staff were always pleasant. The pain in my hips and legs was greatly reduced.
My chiropractor experience at Total Spine has been life changing for me. I have less back pain and I have increased my mobility.
Here are answers to what Maple Grove patients ask us most.
Most sessions cost $65 to $150, based on length. Shorter sessions cost less than full 90-minute ones. We'll tell you the price before we start. No guessing games here.
Sessions run 30 to 90 minutes. We'll pick a length based on your tension and where it is. First visits often run longer so we can check things well.
Foam rolling at home helps small tight spots. But deep knots need trained hands. A licensed therapist can reach muscle layers you just can't. This is true for low back and neck pain. We've seen folks make it worse by pressing too hard on their own. Our advice: don't be afraid to ask for help.
It depends on your body and how active you are. Desk workers near Arbor Lakes often do fine with monthly visits. Active patients healing from an injury may need more. We'll build a plan just for you.
Don't wait on tight muscles. They usually get worse, not better, on their own. Call us and we'll get you booked fast. Winter months get busy fast around here. We once had a patient wait three months. His pain got much worse by then.
Watch for stiff shoulders, a back that won't loosen, or knots under the skin. Headaches from neck tension are another sign. If stretching alone isn't working, give us a call.
Yes, it's a normal part of healing for our young hockey and soccer patients from Fernbrook fields. It helps loosen muscles around an injury once the sharp pain is gone. We often pair it with sports injury care for faster results. We've seen young athletes get back on the field sooner this way.
