Duane began practicing massage/bodywork therapy after a lengthy career as an Emergency Medical Technician. From experiencing the benefits of massage therapy treatment for his own work related injuries and stress, Duane was inspired. He attended Ashmead School of Massage graduating in 2006 and made shift into rehabilitative bodywork therapy. Since then Duane has enjoyed the humble privilege of working with some amazing human beings and strong spirits, that are his clients and patients, to achieve more pain-free and mobile lives. Incorporating the importance of movement and stretching into his technique, Duane combines multiple rehabilitative bodywork and massage therapies to provide the most optimal treatment outcome to each of his clients and patients. Deep tissue, Trigger Point, Manual Ligament Therapy and Cupping are only a few of the techniques Duane is well trained in and practices regularly. When Duane is not working in the office you may find him at a finish line of a local marathon working on deserving athletes or traveling around the country with the USC Trojan Swim Team at various championship events. Most importantly, when Duane is not working he is with beautiful family either traveling or hiking or fishing or biking or just hanging out enjoying bubble tea or pho or chicken adobo and always with their dog, Koa Duane is credentialed as a preferred provider with most major insurance companies.
