Why Choose Musculoskeletal Therapy (Myotherapy)?
Living with pain shouldn't be your "new normal." Whether you wake up stiff, feel sore after workouts, or carry tension from sitting at a desk all day, your body is telling you it needs maintenance.
My approach goes deeper than standard relaxation massage. I use Musculoskeletal Therapy (MST) (also known as Myotherapy) to assess your posture, movement, and pain points. This allows us to treat the root cause of your discomfort, rather than just soothing the symptoms.
I don't believe in "one size fits all" routines. Every session is custom-built to help you recover faster and stay pain-free for longer. Let's work together to get you feeling 100% again.

How Nick Treats Clients:
Nick’s treatments are fully customized to your specific needs. Each session will be tailored depending on whether you're seeking recovery, pain relief, or relaxation. Nick uses a combination of manual therapy, dry needling, and cupping to target your pain points and provide long-term recovery.
