Bodywork sessions start with a full assessment of your posture and movement, allowing your therapists to hone in on key problem areas that are likely to be at the root of your pain. Skills and techniques can range from myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, stretching, and movement, all in order to reduce pain, free up tension, improve posture, and return the structure back to its original state. Bodywork is intended for people looking to reduce stress and tension, but more importantly, feel better and more pain free in their bodies.
The Rolf method is a series of sessions designed to fully unfold and release long standing tension patterns that are rooted in the physical, behavioral, and energetic history of the client, opening new doors of ease, freedom, and joy in the body. Best for clients looking for a committed process, releasing deeply rooted and difficult patterns, complicated and unique issues, and clients open to coaching the physical, emotional, and behavioral body.
NMT is a style of work that targets deep intramuscular tension through deep glides, static, deep compressions, and positional release. NMT is best for chronic pain, long standing soft tissue pathologies and acute pain, flexibility, and general sports recovery.

Cupping is manual therapy through cups, often suctioning tissue away from deeper layers of tension and offering a unique and often much needed release in areas of tension and restriction. Cupping is best for sports recovery, releasing tissue that is “stuck together” and those hard to stretch places. Cupping is also good for general improvements in circulation, and better tissue mobility.
A consultation is designed to help us understand what you would like addressed. After listening to your needs we will employ various assessments to determine if what we offer can help in any way.
IASTM is a form of manual therapy that utilizes tools to scrape adhesive tissue, release scars, and release stubborn areas of injury, and melt exercise induced tension. Good for scar tissue release, post-surgical rehab, sports injuries, and body contouring.
You may have seen Kinesio tape on sports athletes either in person or on TV. But, it is not just for high level athletes. Kinesio tape is a stretchy tape that provides support and lifts the skin slightly when applied and in doing so allows for better flow of fluids which can reduce swelling, lessen pain and improve performance.
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!
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.
