Just breathe deep and let go

Bridging the gap between emotions and body, since 1989


Empathic care, an inquisitive mind and a focus on detail on alleviating pain and improving the human experience, led me to develop the Deep Tissue technique called Functional Muscle Manipulation.
With the FMM, we go beyond just 'working those tight spots'. We work with the patient teaching them how they themselves keep those muscles chronically contracted and how to let go....

Bridging the gap between emotions and body, since 1989


Empathic care, an inquisitive mind and a focus on detail on alleviating pain and improving the human experience, led me to develop the Deep Tissue technique called Functional Muscle Manipulation.
With the FMM, we go beyond just 'working those tight spots'. We work with the patient teaching them how they themselves keep those muscles chronically contracted and how to let go. The FMM is painless, works deeper and it has lasting results. 

The addition of a Reflexology training that includes reflex points on the whole body, rounded up my approach to discomfort and disharmony and allowed me to offer overall improvement to the quality of life. 

Using the Manual Lymph Drainage (that I learned from the source, the school that it's creator, Dr. Vodder started) I helped many people with relevant problems, including secondary lymphedemas and sinusitis. 

I am currently in College again, for my 7th Massage therapy diploma. Saint Paul College.

End of life treatment with Reflexology

A final stage cancer patient found my Reflexology their final pain management and comfort companion. Thessaloniki, Greece, 2010

A Princess's carpal tunnel syndrome

In 2009 I was called to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to treat a Princess with a very low quality of life due to intense pains that were diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome. After releasing the tension and solving her trapezius and other muscle spasms, with my Functional Muscle Manipulation technique, she finally got to sleep at night and her pains largely dissapeared.

Idiopathic Scoliosis Cases

During my practice in Thessaloniki and Athens, Greece, I treated a few cases of Idiopathic Scoliosis using the Functional Muscle Manipulation, with unexpected success. I wrote an article which got initially published in the industry's Greek 'Holistic Life' journal explaining the hypothesis behind the success. IMO, Scoliosis is basically a psychosomatic problem. http://deeptissue.work/treating-idiopathic-scoliosis

TV shows abroad

I was invited twice to Cyprus by the country's #1 TV show at the time. The second one was a 2 hours show, that made a full presentation of me and my technique, and I got to interact with viewers on the air and in the studio.

Sinusitis treatment specialization with the LMD

I had a few sinusitis sufferers that received fantastic results using Dr. Vodder's Manual Lymph Drainage on their face and neck. Some of the needed just 2 sessions and some of them lasted for years.

Lumbar disk operations that never happened

I had dozens of scheduled for disk surgery patients that came to me as a last resort, avoided their surgery with the Functional Muscle Manipulation and lived good quality, pain free lives for the following years.

Countless Chronic Headaches and Migraines gone

Regardless of the original diagnosis for the type of migraines, I have seen numerous patients overcome their problem and stay well for years to come. Similarly with chronic headaches.

Absolutely fantastic! I have been to countless massage therapists.. What George does is above and beyond... Words are not enough to describe the experience. Don't think just book the session.

Just incredible - came away almost floating on air. The pain in my neck completely reduced with hardly any headaches this week. He is a gem!

George is a truly gifted healer. After just one session, I experienced more release—both physically and emotionally—than I’ve felt after many visits to different physical therapists for my fibromyalgia. He gently guides you with breathing, making the process feel natural and deeply calming. There’s no pain involved—just a powerful sense of relief and emotional release. I left feeling lighter, freer, and more hopeful. I’ll definitely be back. If you’ve been struggling with pain, you should definitely try him
