Dan has been a massage therapist for a little over 13 years. He loves what he does and it has been great helping a diversity of people with their massage needs. He was originally interested in massage to help his lovely wife (of 15 years) with her migraines. Happy wife, happy family. He has two wonderful and amazing kids--a son who is 18 and in college and a daughter who is 13 and heading into high school.. Dan is currently an instructor at a school of massage therapy teaching Anatomy, Physiology, and a variety massage techniques. His strengths in massage are: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage. He also has a Sports/ Deep Tissue technique that works well to release muscle and connective tissue. The main goal is to bring back the body's natural alignment. Some techniques include: Neck and Shoulder Release: this helps bring the shoulders back, offering better alignment to support the neck and head. It can reduce headaches and the aches and pains we get in the upper/ mid back from stress tension and our physical labors. Hip and Glute Release: this helps reduce low back and hip pain. By releasing muscles in the legs, hips, and glutes, the lower body can gain a better alignment to aiding in the support of our upper body. If the hips are out of alignment, the integrity of the low back can be compromised. Therefore one can suffer low back and hip pain. Correct the alignment in the hips, there can be less stress on the hips and low back. He would be happy to help you with all your massage needs.
