What type of work do I do?

SO IF YOU HAVE TO DEFINE ME... 

I do hands on Bodywork with the help of tools coming with a passion from the heart!

Simple I use what I know, from my many years of experiences and cross blending of many techniques, with a touch of creativity, and apply it to the people I work on.


 See a great deal of folks in our business try to define you and understand you with a label such as Deep Tissue, Myofascial work, Neuromuscular work, Rolfing to name a few. 


So if you found yourself doing all of the above, what style are you doing?


You are not, you are blending.


You are doing what works for that specific person in front of you and what works for one may not work for another. 

Let's be real every situation is different and has multiple  different issues. 

Once again my goal is to do what works to fix problems. I am not married to a technique or a style. So don't try to pin me to one specific style.




Bruce Lee a talented, skilled, open minded, martial artist had trained in many styles and took the stuff he liked and formed it into a blend of simple effective techniques and concepts, that worked best for him and the situation at hand. Going forward with his approach he would call it  JKD : Jeet Kune Do. He was not married to a technique or style.




The real question your looking for is...

Are you worth my time and money?

   Do I value your work?

Can you help with my issue?

Quite possibly the big question is... 

Can you adapt and be flexible to my needs. 




So it is imperative to LISTEN

 to what the client is actually asking for.

 Sometimes they say they want the best of both worlds examples, 

I want all my pain gone and to fall asleep here on the table. Hmmm good luck with that one. 

A guy comes in says it was hard dealing with my family this morning so I took some pain pills prior to coming in today, so push as hard as you want to.




SO IF YOU HAVE TO DEFINE ME... 

I do Bodywork with the help of tools! 

In my years of doing this and all the classes I have taken. I really have found few, other than those I have mentored who even come close to working in the way I do. 

Note to those whom like stretching and massage combined, it's a safe bet you will like my work cause I mix it all together with NO upgrade fees...



 

Do I use cupping? 

Possibly,

 but not to pool blood to the surface

 so we can leave dark circles.





IASTM /Gua Sha ? Once again My goal is not to scrape you to the point of redness to bring about blood to the surface. I use tools to help protect my hands and give added pressure provided I deem necessary. Sometimes there are sessions I may not even pull a tool out.




Some have compared me to a skilled Physical Therapist, however

* prescriptive exercise 

*electrotherapy or stim

*heat and ice 

Standard protocols of a busy high volume PT office, I really don't do. 

Key word HANDS ON, that defines me greatly.





 See in my previous visits to various PT offices I have never had any more than 5-6 minutes of actual hands on work. So put that into thought if you have a swollen limb, lifting is not really getting rid of the fluid that is stagnate around the injury. A doctor may feel that is resolved through medication. Then give you visits to the PT to strengthen the area. 

However what is missing is the actual HANDS ON time and the healing that comes from that. 

However in an office that has a heavy volume of people needing to be seen how is that possible? 

The answer is simple, it's not.

It usually always comes back to money, is your office close, do you have time slots around my hours, is it still a $25.00 copay...

Can you adapt?

Challenges are really a tiny obstacle to get past.

I have worked with many older and disabled folks throughout my days. Even those whom don't speak the same language.

Open to a few

Many will open their program up to anyone and teach large volume classes. I like more of a focused smaller group. Im not into building a list of numbers who have taken a couple hours and think they understand the work.

Classes are really only as good as the wisdom of the teacher and the person your working with.

Essentially my first CE CLASS

Long time back 2001 in Cottonwood,AZ. with Hugh Milne

REHAB Massage Therapy in Scottsdale,AZ.

Get to know me a little better than you can form an opinion.

I was born into a small town of Marion, Ohio.

Moved to Mansfield, Ohio and than Columbus, Ohio 

  • Graduated High School 1982 
  •  NCTC 1984 with an AS in Law Enforcement 
  • Air Force 1986-1990 worked in Security
  •  Wound up working in Juvenile detention and Residential treatment with kids.
  •  Went to school at Central Ohio School of Massage in Columbus, Ohio Graduate in 1999.
  •  Have taken on many different forms of learning from seminars to working in spas, Chiropractic offices, Large corporations
  •  A small business owner 
  •  Educator of  creative massage techniques.
  •  NCBTMB Continuing Education Provider #451740-11 


 

  • I come from humble roads and tend to have a sense of humor and a caring heart.


  • I take an analytical approach to massage, moving from one concern to the next assembling a treatment plan after the assessment. 


  • I make every effort to help clients understand what I find and what I believe to be the source of their concern. This is done through knowledge of working on thousands of people throughout my years in this field.


  • It is my firm belief that you do not come in just to be worked on but are an active participant working with your therapist to achieve the best results possible.


  • Communication and trust are pillars of my work.


  • I provide honest feedback. Yes this means I have an opinion. If you don't want an opinion than don't ask. Simple huh.

 

I see all types of people from all walks of life, not just sports stars or VIP's.

Everyday people, Medical professionals, retired folks, housewives, Younger kids to college professors. Define the group

in which you like working on the most, people with pain.
