David is an absolutely amazing and extremely talented therapist! I’ve been working with him for over a year now, and my issues have really improved. I just go now for maintenance and prevention. This is no ordinary “fluff and buff” Swedish massage. This is a “get in there and get the job done” REAL therapy. I HIGHLY recommend him!

Bodywork
No, not what you have done to your car after a fender-bender. Bodywork is a targeted, assessment-driven form of manual therapy that hones in on key problem areas to reduce pain and promote better movement. Techniques range from myofascial release, NMT, stretching, and guided movement.
Sports Recovery
Get back to what you love. Our Sports Recovery sessions blend a host of techniques to promote circulation, muscle repair, and joint rehydration.
Structural Integration
Consisting of a series of sessions, the Rolf Method is an advanced style of treatment designed to fully unfold and release long standing tension patterns rooted in the physical, behavioral, and energetic history of the client. Best for unique and complicated issues.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a technique that creates a deep stretch and frees chronic from the body. Used as the primary technique in Rolfing, ART, and other advanced therapies, MFR is excellent for improving posture, reducing tension-related pain, and better overall movement.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a deep tissue method with a precise focus on muscle bellies and tendons. Consisting of long compressive holds, NMT is used to treat chronic or acute pain, release deeply-guarded tension, and sports recovery.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Therapy (IASTM)
Instrument assisted Soft Tissue Therapy (IASTM) utilizes tools to scrape adhesive tissue, release stubborn areas of injury, and treat exercise-related tension. Great for scar tissue, post-surgical rehab, sports injuries, and body contouring.
Cupping
Cupping utilizes suction to separate tissue layers and create space for circulation. Excellent for sports recovery, tension release, tissue pliability, and circulation.
Free Consultation
Want to make sure Body Heal Therapy will work for you? So do we. We offer free consultations to ensure your needs are heard and understood. After learning about your situation, we employ various assessments to determine if we can help. Best for unique and/or complicated scenarios.
Full Body Resets
Looking for a session that’s a little more generalized? We’ve got you covered. With a Full Body Reset, you can expect broader strokes combined with precise treatment to provide global relief from stress and tension.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a style of therapy that uses a light touch to create a calming, regulating effect on the autonomic nervous system. Best for those with head trauma, neurological issues, high levels of anxiety, and/or emotional distress.
Neurokinetic Therapy
Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) is a corrective movement system that uses muscle testing to find motor control problems. It can be used as both an assessment and rehabilitation technique for low back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel, and other injuries.
Lymphatic drainage
Stagnation in the lymph system can cause pain, dysfunction, and even suppress your immune system. Lymphatic drainage is a soft touch therapy that encourages healthy movement of lymph through the lymphatic system.
Vagal Toning
Weakness of the Vagus nerve has been associated with several health conditions such as IBS, colitis, heart disease, depression, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease. Vagal Toning promotes nervous system health with a series of techniques that stimulate the Vagus nerve.
Tempering
Body Tempering uses heavy rollers to compress soft tissue and increase blood flow. Best used before and after training and competitions to increase mobility and reduce soreness.
Visceral Manipulation
A light touch therapy that improves the mobility and function of the internal organs of the abdomen, reducing pain, stress, and tension.
What People Are Saying
Have been seeing David Phillips for years. He is very professional and always fixes my aches and pains. My last visit was for a sprained ankle and strained shoulder. With David’s help, I’ll be back on the golf course much sooner. I would definitely recommend David to anyone! Janet M.
I highly recommend David Phillips for his neuromuscular treatment in pain relief. His expert knowledge and skill saved my agonizing pains related to a compressed disc in the lower back. David has been able to keep my chronic condition in check and avoid surgery (that’s the only option provided by my orthopedic doctor) for the last 10 plus years.
After many years of neck pain, David Phillips’ work finally gave me the relief I was looking for.
Having been raised in a thousand that give importance to health and education, Jessie has always been drawn to helping herself and others find ways of preventing illness and improving wellbeing.
After 8 years as a Dental Hygienist, Jessie found the need to pursue a career that would put her in the path of more holistic centered atmosphere. Weightlifting was the catalyst for that transition as it inspired her to obtain her certification in personal training through NASM.
However, she still felt she needed more understanding of human movement to be able to provide people the result they wanted through exercise, so a year later she inscribed herself at the NC School of Advanced Bodywork. There she discovered neuromuscular therapy and myofascial release for the work for the first time and was hooked! Jessie loves to combine bodywork with exercise to jumpstart or further her clients on a path of healing, health, and strength.
Jessie enjoys working with all populations, especially active individuals, such as body builders looking to increase their gain and performance, and those who are on the other end of spectrum that are the older an years and perhaps not as active but still care about their mobility. Her time spent as a hygienist has also given Jessie more insight and interest into population affected by clenching and grinding of teeth and enjoys helping those seeking relief from the effect of bruxism.
