Prior to being a Massage Therapist I was a commercial fisherman in Alaska for years. Like a lot of men, I didn’t know the benefits of massage and figured that the aches and pains my body felt were just normal for getting older. As men we tough out pain, often for weeks or even years. Sometimes we take medicine and other times may only use heat or ice. If I sound like you, there is a better option. Rather than suffering, try regular massage therapy.

Prior to being a Massage Therapist I was a commercial fisherman in Alaska for years. Like a lot of men, I didn’t know the benefits of massage and figured that the aches and pains my body felt were just normal for getting older. As men we tough out pain, often for weeks or even years. Sometimes we take medicine and other times may only use heat or ice. If I sound like you, there is a better option. Rather than suffering, try regular massage therapy.
It wasn’t until my wife became a Massage therapist that I started to receive massage on a regular basis and noticed what a drastic improvement it made on how I felt. Massage is often thought of as just for women, but men can greatly benefit from massage therapy.
Over my years of experience as a massage therapist, I have worked with many different clients with many different needs, including injury-specific work such as auto and sports injuries. As far as athletes go, I have had experience working with bodybuilders, cyclists, long distance runners, swimmers, golfers, triathletes, football players, soccer players, and many others.
What you can expect in your one-on-one session is an informed assessment, a blend of assisted movements/stretches and bodywork tailored to your individual needs. It has been my experience that men require more pressure for muscles to release. I can deliver that pressure repeatedly.
My style has been described as slow, precise, and sustained deep pressure, while stopping to address trigger points, allows the parasympathetic nervous system to calm down. I like to encourage every client that they are an active participant in their own healing and that you really can feel the difference in your body through receiving regular massage.
