Helping You Move Better and Live With Less Pain
Hello! I’m Steven Friedler. I have been a licensed massage therapist (LMT) since 2005, and if you’re struggling with chronic pain, I’m happy you found me. I bring 20 years of experience with private clients, the physical therapy setting, and wellness spaces to my treatment room working primarily with active adults in their 40's, 50's, and 60's helping them to move better, feel better, and stay active through Myofascial Release without painkillers, injections, or surgery.
Discovering the John Barnes Myofascial Release training programs helped me recover from 10 years of chronic low back pain and transformed the way I practice bodywork. I felt a very strong sense that this was the missing link in healthcare, and that I had to bring this work to my clients.
As it turns out, fascia, your body’s connective tissue, can form adhesions creating tension far from where you feel pain—like a twisted sweater creating a pulling effect in distant areas of the garment. By releasing these hidden restrictions, this "straightjacket effect" keeping my clients stuck in pain is removed, and they often find lasting relief. Many are surprised to learn their headaches and neck pain actually stem from their pelvis!
My approach uses mostly Myofascial Release combined with the neuromuscular techniques I learned from working in the physical therapy setting. It offers powerful, yet gentle techniques that support your body’s natural healing ability, enhancing the benefits you are receiving through physical therapy, chiropractic care, or acupuncture and helping to regain mobility after surgery. If you're ready to move better, feel better, and experience lasting relief, I’d love to help.
