Traditional & Orthopedic Massage aligns with the modern world of Science

About Us

[THIS SITE IS UNDER UPDATE. PARDON MY PROGRESS]

.My name is Dedric I am an orthopedic massage specialist and clinical researcher. I am happy that you took the time for self care and I'm thrilled that you chose massage. Welcome to Empirical Knead: where traditional and orthopedic massage aligns with the empirical world of modern science.

As a clinical researcher, my understanding of the biological benefits of touch and massage has deepened my respect for what massage can actually do for you. As a tool for reducing systemic inflammation, massage is shown to reduce such factors far better than pharmaceuticals and yields lasting effects beyond that of conventional treatments. And in my experience combined with diet, the results are phenomenal, life changing. I am impassioned to share...

Here's what our clients are saying

When I Tell You My Body is Crying For More!! Dedric is Just AMAZING! He took the time to talk with me an access my areas of need and that created an Amazing Experience! My Next Appointment is Booked and I’m Wishing That Was Today!! Thank You DEDRIC!!

It was really good and I feel very good as well
Dedric was amazing. He listened intently to really understand my needs. I have seen tons of other massage therapists, but Dedric was the most intune with the body.

Dedric is highly skilled and has been instrumental in my continued healing and recovery from pinched nerve and inflammation issues.
The overall experience was great.

Dedric is wonderful! His massages are a wonderful combinaton of resolving muscle tension and soothing stress relief.
Best massage experience I have ever had. Why? Well, Dedric not only asked why I was coming in for a massage, but also talked to why I may be having the problems I have and how we should approach the massage because of this.

I’ve had a lot of massages before from several massage therapists and I can definitely say that this is the best massage I’ve ever had to date. Dedric is very professional, and he makes sure that you feel comfortable during the entire service. And it seemed to me that he knew how much pressure I want (or probaby needed) for my lower back and neck and shoulder area.
Loved it. Feel great. I feel like my gait has improved! Thank you!

Dedric listened to my needs, fully explained his thoughts, processes, and techniques, all of which showed in the amazing massage. He was very impressive as a therapist and a person. Very pleased with this experience.

Dedric does an excellent job of pinpointing trigger points and providing relief from painful muscle spasms. He is always very professional, calming, and positive. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and it is clearly evident that he is passionate about helping his clients. Dedric truly is the best massage therapist I've ever seen!

Best Swedish massage ever! Dedric's expert training is evident. He is able to give a massage that is both relaxing and therapeutic. I have autoimmune arthritis and my body always aches, so this is just what I need!

I am a consistent client at Stillpoint. I currently work in the corpoate IT field which involves constant sitting and if not mindful (which most people aren't including myself) bad sitting posture. I was referred to Dedric by a fellow colleague who suffered from the same issue which is upper back shoulder pain and tightened muscles. Once treated by Dedric I was impressed as to his knowledge of knowing how to locate muscle tension and muscles knots without adding much input (essentially testing his skill). I would say he is more of a surgeon when he does his treatments showing care and dedication to relieve the muscle ailments that I have incurred over the years. I would recommend him to anyone who is suffering the same especially those in the corporate field who sit for long periods of time.

Dedric is amazing! I have been seeing him for ~3 years for chronic back pain. Now that I am healing post-surgery and exercising again, I have different needs and aches/pains that come up. Every massage he knows what to do to take care of any issues I may be having - and I walk out of the massage more relaxed, stretched and pain free. He is a master at his craft and makes sure you are comfortable during your session.

Dedric is the best massage therapist I had in my fairly long life.... and I'm in my sixties. As I've told him, I'm very thankful that somehow I found him. He is very professional and equally skilled at using the appropriate technique, especially in dealing with a problem area. Very highly recommended.

Dedric spends the time with each client at the beginning of the appointment to determine what areas of concern you would like addressed during the session. It's also interesting that Dedric's suite is at the end of a hallway. You may think he's greeting you as you enter (and he is), but he's also watching how you're walking. Your posture and stance are quite telling to Dedric. I work a rather physically demanding job. Dedric helps me face the challenges of my job. Kudos for keeping me moving!
