Ready to feel like yourself again?

Most new clients call. We'll listen first, then talk about what kind of treatment makes sense for you.

Family owned and operated since 1989.

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.

"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 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."
