When a client has specific aches, I use a very gentle approach to the area and may incorporate ice, arnica, heat, gentle massage, and deep breathing. My goals are to improve circulation, relieve pain, decrease inflammation, and relax the nervous system. As a lifelong athlete, I understand how to relieve the aches of strenuous physical activity, which become more pronounced as the body ages.
After a client has surgery, I tailor the massage to the type of surgery and often incorporate a mix of massage styles. For example, I have worked with clients after hip replacement surgery, neck surgery, and back surgery.

Alex is magic.
It's hard to think of a better word for his work. He has a way of "talking" to your body in a way that feels like he's actually communicating with your back with his hands - as if he's hearing what it's saying, and talks back. It's really amazing.
He checks in with you around past injuries, current pain, and what you need. He then tailors his approach to whatever you bring to the table. Literally. He uses a blend of techniques including deep tissue work, Swedish massage, heat (he makes use of hot towels in a way that feels utterly therapeutic

I have received massages from many different therapists over the past 15+ years, and Alex is truly among the very best. He has a unique combination of strength and gentleness that treats both the body and the mind. As a long-distance cyclist and regular swimmer, I depend on Alex to help me recover from strenuous activities, maintain flexibility and avoid injury. He performs deep tissue massage with the perfect amount of pressure and employs relaxation techniques that leave me feeling rested and rejuvenated. A deeply empathetic person, Alex can sense when you need extra care. He treats you with

Alex greeted me with a smile, took some time before our session to get to know me, my needs for massage and explain about himself and his treatment/therapy. He has a very wonderful touch, both gentle and strong, and has a unique use of hot towels. He's a great therapist and I highly recommend him. : )
