Registered Massage Therapy
Troy Taylor enjoys working with clients to help decrease pain, increase mobility, create balance and promote ease of movement. His therapeutic treatments often focus on deep tissue and fascial techniques. Troy’s training as a Rolfer influences his massage therapy practice, and many of his treatments include active movement techniques that involve client participation.
Please note: Treatments are often performed while side-lying, sitting and standing. Because of this, Troy asks that you arrive at your treatment with gym wear, swimwear or shorts and a loose t-shirt.

Sports Acupuncture
Sports acupuncture is a specialized form of acupuncture that targets the specific needs of athletes and active individuals. It focuses on enhancing athletic performance, accelerating recovery from injuries, and preventing future injuries by addressing both specific ailments and overall bodily imbalances.
Key Aspects of Sports Acupuncture:
Performance Enhancement: Sports acupuncture helps improve overall performance by increasing muscle strength and efficiency, enhancing flexibility, and boosting endurance. It does this by optimizing the flow of energy and blood throughout the body, which can lead to improved oxygenation and nutrient delivery to muscles.
Injury Recovery: This practice is highly effective in speeding up the recovery process from common sports injuries such as sprains, strains, and muscle fatigue. Acupuncture points are selected to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and promote the healing of soft tissues.
Pain Management: Sports acupuncture is recognized for its ability to relieve pain without the need for medications. By stimulating nerves and releasing endorphins, acupuncture can modify pain pathways and provide significant relief.
Preventive Care: Regular sessions can help athletes maintain balance in their body’s musculoskeletal and neurological systems, potentially preventing the occurrence of injuries. This preventive approach is ideal for athletes looking to maintain a consistent training regimen.
Holistic Approach: Sports acupuncture considers the entire body, not just specific symptoms or areas. This holistic view can identify and correct imbalances that may not yet have manifested as pain, thus enhancing overall health and athletic performance.
Mental Clarity and Stress Reduction: Beyond physical benefits, sports acupuncture can also aid in mental and emotional well-being. It’s known to reduce stress and anxiety, which can improve focus and competitive performance.
Sports acupuncture is a valuable tool for anyone looking to enhance their athletic performance, recover faster from injuries, manage pain effectively, and maintain optimal physical and mental health. Whether you’re a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, integrating sports acupuncture into your routine can provide significant benefits.
Microneedling
Microneedling: What to expect
We begin each session by thoroughly cleansing the skin twice. The first cleanse—often with an oil-based or micellar formula—removes makeup, sunscreen, and excess oils. The second cleanse targets deeper impurities like pollutants and debris, ensuring a fresh canvas for optimal microneedling results.
Topical Numbing Cream (as needed)
To minimize any potential discomfort, we apply a numbing cream before. This approach allows us to work at deeper levels without irritation.
Microneedling
Our trained practitioners customize each treatment, focusing on scar reduction, hyperpigmentation, hydration, or signs of aging, depending on your skin’s unique goals. We incorporate premium formulas from South Korean skincare brands throughout the process to nourish and hydrate. By creating microchannels in the skin, microneedling encourages new collagen formation for a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Facial Mask Application + LED Light
After the microneedling procedure, we apply a soothing Hydro Jelly Mask to calm the skin, alleviate dryness, and enhance hydration, helping lock in the benefits of your treatment.

Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a manual therapy that focuses on restoring mobility, balance, and function across the entire body. Through a hands-on, non-invasive approach, osteopathic treatment targets not only muscles and joints but also connective tissue, nerves, and internal organs. It supports the body’s natural ability to heal by improving circulation, releasing tension, and addressing structural imbalances.
Each session begins with an in-depth consultation and physical assessment, which may include orthopedic and neurological tests. Treatment is tailored to your unique needs using a combination of techniques such as myofascial release, joint mobilization, craniosacral therapy, muscle energy techniques (MET), and visceral manipulation.
Osteopathy is effective for managing back pain, joint stiffness, headaches, digestive issues, and movement limitations. It’s not just about treating symptoms—it’s about identifying and resolving the root causes of discomfort to improve long-term well-being.
At Vanguard Performance, our osteopathic care is often integrated with other clinical services to offer a well-rounded, collaborative path to recovery and optimal health.
