Brian’s approach to massage is based on anatomy, physiology, and good communication. His treatments don’t follow a cookie-cutter approach, and could vary greatly to meet the needs of what’s going on in your body in this moment. He's comfortable working with both deeper and lighter pressure. He values the education aspect of bodywork and will help to make sure you understand what’s happening in your treatment. He gets excited answering any anatomy questions you may have!
Brian has a few specializations. He specializes in TMJ/TMD treatments, in gentle myofascial release, and in scar tissue adhesion release. He also really enjoys working with sensitive whiplash and concussion injuries, sports injuries and athletes, back pain, anxiety, postural stress, and systemic nervous system conditions (such as MS, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s).
Brian’s other educational background is in physics and geography, and he since spent several years working in the non-profit world doing social justice facilitation, both of which inform his practice of massage. He practices yoga, enjoys cycling, hiking, canoeing and crossfit, and loves to cook and eat good food. He is passionate about how people learn to move their bodies, safely and with grace, at all stages of life.
