About Us

DeeperLayers Massage Therapy is the home of the Functional Muscle Manipulation.
The FMM 
is an evolved Deep Tissue / Neuromuscular technique, developed by George Rodafinos in Greece, in 1989.
It goes deeper and deals with the source of the chronic or acute muscular problems. It's not painful and it can achieve full therapeutic results that last for years. 
It is highly effective on chronic neuromuscular problems, such as headaches, migraines, sciatica, neuropathies, carpal tunnel syndrome and more.
It is great for athletes, musicians, actors, people that work at the office or do physical work. It improves physical awareness, mind-body connection and restores the body's ability to self-heal.

Client Testimonials

Here's what our clients are saying

  • Great first session with George. I didn’t appreciate how much deeper and more effective deep tissue could be with his special method, and how that if deep tissue is done this way the results can be permanent / last years, with the knowledge, understanding and breathing he gives to you as part of it. Can’t recommend enough if you have ongoing muscle issues - I promise you won’t regret it!

    I got this for my boyfriend who has major hip and lower back problems. He was amazed at how well he felt afterwards. He enjoyed the conversation Georgios gave him about his injuries. He said he will definitely be going back him for more relief. Thank you soooo much for helping him Georgios!

  • George’s technique is excellent and is legitimately the most effective.

    George really knows bodywork and healing. I appreciated his explanations and invites as well as his techniques.

  • George is phenomenal!!! His approach is driven by mindfulness and wellness. He is upfront about the fact that he works with his clients to achieve a level of health and education that you can carry with you so as not to have to continue with consistent/frequent sessions. I appreciate what he has done for me in the limited sessions we have had and look forward to reaching a point of wellbeing which will allow me to carry forward without the necessity of regular appointments. I highly recommend George!!!

    I felt very comfortable with the treatment plan and felt so happy to work with professional who really understands my concerns and wellness goals.

  • The best of the best!

    Pretty narcissistic guy

  • The therapeutic theory, touch, and treatment for the issues I have been dealing with was on point. The guidance received during session is something I have since been applying at home. I fully intend to continue working with George through a treatment plan in the very near future!

    George is great at his craft and helping his clients to better understand the mind/body connection. His breathing technique has been very helpful in general. Highly recommend him for pain relief and management.

George has so much understanding and knowledge of muscle issues and his method truly does go deeper but with no/less pain. An absolute must if you have recurring muscle pain as he’s mindset is to cure / resolve and not life long maintenance therapy which is the medical mainstream. A true needle in a haystack find. Can’t recommend enough.

Business response:

Or, there is the possibility that the Functional Muscle Manipulation has actually produced the results that I have recorded and that clients report on their reviews. It may not be as interesting to you as the spiritual and energy work that you practice, but that doesn't mean that explaining how my technique can benefit you shows that I have a personality disorder.

I am Delightfully surprised with my experience at deeper layers. The title is accurate. Three days after my treatment my neck and back feels so opened up and not the least bit sore or tender but relieved.

George is the best at reflexology massages. He was able to reduce my heel pain and now I can walk longer and better without pain. This type of massage also helpes me cooping with stress and anxiety and overall improves my health. Strongly recommend it.

George was very skilled and knowledgeable about the technique he uses. I was in town visiting and experiencing a lot of pain. I was only able to see him 2 days, but he taught me how to be mindful of my body and how to breathe to decrease my pain. Along with his reflexology and massage my pain day 1 seeing him went from an 8 to a 5 and by end of day 2 it was at a 3. I will take what knowledge I gained and continue to heal. Thank you George

Georgios was kind and able to accommodate a short notice session. He was easy to talk to and concerned about my overall well-being, looking for long term solutions to my chronic tension headaches, sinus issues and migraines. My headache improved greatly by the end of the session. I plan to follow up with another session soon.
