My name is Greg Nelson. I moved my adoring wife and  three beautiful children to Austin Texas from my hometown of Whidbey Island, Washington in August of 2023. I specialize in deep tissue massage therapy. My focus in bodywork starts with identifying the shortened (tight) muscles. I begin by relaxing the area(s) of concern. I will use a variety of approaches and techniques to then release the short muscles and trigger points. I’ll look at the opposing muscle groups (antagonist muscles) which depending on what they'll need I’ll use myofascial release to create space or crossfiber to tone the weak muscles. I work differently depending on the clients goals and preferences. I range from a light touch to the pressure that “hurts so good”. I’ll implement pin and stretch, contract and relax, active stretch and pressure point holds to lengthen determined muscles. The main purpose of this work is to offer freedom from pain by bringing the body into homeostasis and balance. My passion for this work stems from my own personal experience with chronic pain and tightness. I’m constantly learning  how to overcome a life of dysfunctional movement patterns, limited range of motion and chronic pain. The constant journey in this body in day to day life keeps me learning new strategies and techniques to pass on to my clients.  This approach to bodywork provides enhancements in functional movement patterns so you can  continue living without pain and to enjoy the activities that keep life fun. 


In addition to my massage practices,  I also employ the use of an FDA approved, class-2 medical device called BEMER (Bio-electric magnetic energy regulation). I believe that this device coupled with deep tissue therapy creates the ultimate potential of proper blood flow through micro circulation, therefore, true healing. Please ask me about the BEMER if you need more information, or check out the link on my page.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

Greg was super knowledgeable about how the muscles work together and impact one another. Highly recommend seeing him if you’re looking for targeted help.

Greg is excellent. Works on specific muscle groups and has a comprehensive understanding of muscle groups and how to provide therapy.

Really great experience, Greg is a very intuitive therapist, which is pretty rare. He will find almost anything in the areas giving you trouble, even things you wouldn’t have ever realized were causing problems. Will be back very soon.

I have been getting massages for over 30 years. Greg is one of the best massage therapist I have ever been to. If you like a deep pressure massage which works tight muscles, you need to make an appointment with Greg. Muscles in my upper right shoulder and arm had bothered me for several years and since seeing Greg, the muscles no longer hurts. I booked another massage with Greg before leaving my first appointment and looking very forward to it.

Greg was fabulous. He is kind and attentive, and was always cognizant of my needs in the process of massage. He loosened up tight muscles and knots that gave me great pain when I walked. He also loosened muscles I did not know were tight. I highly recommend going to Greg. - Dana

My second time seeing Greg and he is amazing. Really has helped me with an chronic issue I’ve been dealing with. Couldn’t be happier with the results. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent massages with a unique style that I haven't experienced from any other massage therapist. Greg is great at finding tight spots and holding down on them until they release.
