"We break the cycle of chronic pain using specific techniques of Medical Massage, Manual Therapies, and Acupuncture."

A natural approach to healing — and a healthier option for pain management.
Dennis and his wife Jodi founded the practice in 1989. Today his sons Andrew and Reece work alongside him, joined by a team of trusted therapists.

"I have been a client of the Center for Massage Therapy since the doors first opened in 1989. Dennis has been my therapist all these years — knowledgeable, professional, and a caring human being. I can't imagine my life without looking forward to my regular scheduled treatments."
"I have worked with Dennis both as a massage client and as a fellow healthcare practitioner for over 10 years. He is an exceptional therapist with exceptional skills. I always recommend Dennis as my first choice when a physical therapy patient of mine needs massage therapy."

A small practice in Cooper City, run by the Farretta family, built around one promise: to listen to your body first.
Dennis and Jodi Farretta opened the Center for Massage Therapy in Cooper City in 1989 — and have practiced in the same location for 37+ years. What began as a husband-and-wife practice has grown into a full family-owned team, including their son Andrew as the practice's licensed Acupuncture Physician and their son Reece as a Licensed Massage Therapist.
From the start, the philosophy has been the same: our approach is medical, our treatment is natural. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all sessions. Whether it's medical massage, manual therapy, or acupuncture, treatment is customized to your condition and adjusted as you respond.
Many of our clients have been with us for decades. New ones often arrive after physical therapy or medication didn't quite get them where they needed to be. We start by listening.
A licensed acupuncture physician and a team of eight licensed massage therapists, working under one roof.
To the best of our abilities, we will listen, evaluate, assess, treat, and reassess. We will develop a treatment protocol with you — and expect positive results.
Massage, acupuncture, and natural therapies — one team, one goal: helping you feel better. Recovery, chronic pain, or routine wellness — we tailor every session to what your body actually needs.
Medical massage targets specific dysfunctions — muscle spasms, soft tissue injuries, post-surgical recovery. Other modalities support recovery, relaxation, and ongoing wellness.
Performed by Andrew Farretta, L.Ac., our licensed Acupuncture Physician. Notable results with Bell's Palsy, chronic migraines, IBS, and hormone imbalance — alongside chronic pain. Complemented by natural therapies, from nutrition guidance to functional testing that helps us understand what's really going on.

"I have been going to the Center for Massage Therapy for the past 20 years. Two years ago I was in a skiing accident and had a lot of plates put in my arm. Dennis has been extremely helpful in helping me get a better range of motion in that arm. You will feel like part of their family."
"The perfect marriage of massage therapy and Asian medicine with acupuncture treatments at the Center is the only treatment that has helped me manage the pain from fibromyalgia for more than 2 years. Communication is key in finding just the right mix of treatments."
"I can't imagine any other place like this where you have it all. Everyone is very caring and loves what they do. Now they have acupuncture — everything under one roof."
"I have been going to the Center since 1993. I have had chronic pain since an accident in 1993 — I tried physical therapy, medication, biofeedback. None gave me the results I have benefited from here. They have soothed my sore muscles, increased my circulation, and given me the chance to feel relaxation again."
