About Us
For nearly twenty years I have been discovering and experimenting with the human form. We are creatures of habit and sometimes those habits create a world of pain. Examining your posture and your muscle movements, I create a plan for you to get better. We can adapt into new habits that make us stronger, more flexible, more powerful than ever before.

I've gotten massages from Chris for over a year and he's one of the best I've ever had. When I have had guests from out of town use him they have come away amazed. Can't say enough

Chris was very professional and knowledgeable. He explained everything. The session was very informative. I felt like he was interested in my healing and feeling better, not just putting a "bandaid" on it.

Today's session was exactly what I know I can expect, but not easy to describe. It was holistic therapy, educational, flexible,, challenging, and emotionally rewarding. Chris responds to my unique and changing needs by carefully listening and adapting to today's physical condition. I suspect he enjoys creating personalized message as much as I value his healing touch. As a former researcher I rarely rate anything 5 star but 4 didn't match my experience.

Chris has helped me immensely with exercises and tips to combat the creakiness and imbalance that comes with age. I would recommend him to anyone with repetitive sports injuries, functional issues, muscle strains, imbalance, etc. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in correcting body dysfunction.

I liked the way you are an excellent thinker and listener. I could tell he was thinking of how he was going to proceed with me. In our very first visit my foot that has hurt for a long time quit hurting and my knee and shoulder have been given hope and a plan to relieve this pain. I also walked out with ways other therapists have never tried with me before. It's al about being safe and trusting in the person working with you !!!!
