Yo-Yo is Chinese and enlisted in the Navy when she moved to the US. Her path from the military to massage came from her own experience working through an injury. \u201cWhen I was in the Navy, I fractured my knee while running and was bedridden for three months,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I tried acupuncture, chiropractors, and physical therapy, but nothing helped me walk again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-227511\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Yue-800x800.png\" alt=\"Yue Werning of Massage Therapy Works\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Yue-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Yue-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Yue-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Yue-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Yue-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Yue.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was traditional Chinese medical massage that finally healed me \u2014 completely. In China, traditional medical massage, the kind provided in professional massage hospitals, is considered real clinical treatment,&#8221; Yue said. &#8220;After experiencing its healing power myself, I wanted to bring this authentic, therapeutic approach to more people here. That\u2019s why we created Massage Therapy Works.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through massage, Yue was able to rehabilitate her knee. \u201cIt was real healing, not temporary relief,\u201d she said. Yue decided to get certified in massage so she could offer the same healing services to others. After going through the training and becoming certified, she opened Massage Therapy Works at 2931-D Eskridge Road in Fairfax in 2013.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-227512\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Exterior-800x800.png\" alt=\"the exterior of massage therapy works in Fairfax \" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Exterior-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Exterior-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Exterior-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Exterior-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Exterior-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Exterior.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><em>Photo courtesy of Nina Palazzolo.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>During our visit, Yue greeted several clients by name, indicative of her warm nature and personal connection with each client. She is equally as precise about the business of massage as she is warm. \u201cThe therapists are always getting new training and certifications,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd the spa has passed every inspection, ever.

Everything at the studio itself is designed to support clients\u2019 well-being. For example, the hot tea bar selections change from morning to the afternoon based on what best serves the body at the time of day, according to TCM. \u201cIt\u2019s all herbal tea. In the morning, we have ginger, green, and black tea, and then we change that out at 3PM,\u201d Yue said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-227513\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Lobby-800x800.png\" alt=\"the interior of massage therapy works in fairfax \" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Lobby-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Lobby-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Lobby-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Lobby-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Lobby-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Lobby.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><em>Photo courtesy of Nina Palazzolo<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The types of massage offered are: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Sports, Chinese, Medical, Pregnancy, Reflexology, and Lymphatic Drainage. Couples massages are also available. There are add-ons, including hot stone treatments and cupping.<\/p>\n<p>Clients point to the massage therapists\u2019 skill in multiple modalities as part of the reason why the treatments are so effective. One client credited his therapist\u2019s skill with trigger point therapy as the reason why he recommended MTW and was able to have a speedy recovery after a major car accident. \u201cJason\u2019s trigger point therapy got into the deep layers of muscle, and I have the most flexibility I\u2019ve had in years,\u201d the client said. Specialty treatments can target specific concerns like sleeplessness and arthritis.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Expect<\/h2>\n<p>The serene, green environment has low lights and low music playing, with plants softening the space. Stepping inside from the busy parking lot just off Route 29 feels like an instant mute button for the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Every customer gets a fully customized experience that begins with an intake form and an interview to learn more about their problems and goals. During the treatment, the therapist will work with clients to adjust pressure and other aspects of the massage. \u201cWe want to identify the areas of pain and work on the whole-body connection,\u201d Yue said. The therapist will create a treatment plan for each client, which will specify how many treatments, the duration of each treatment and what services will be provided.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-227514\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Interior-800x800.png\" alt=\"another interior at Massage therapy works \" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Interior-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Interior-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Interior-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Interior-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Interior-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/MTW_Interior.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><em>Photo courtesy of Nina Palazzolo<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yo-Yo says that most clients continue to get treatments at MTW even after their original treatment plan is completed. \u201cWe try to build a long-term relationship with each client,\u201d she said.
