About this pro
I have been a massage therapist for 20 years. I incorporate massage into treatment for neuromuscular problems. I was trained by an instructor from Belgium. The technique is long deep strokes done at a very slow pace. This allows using more pressure without causing any discomfort. I warm the massage lotion as it feels better when applied to the skin. I use a hot towel on your face and then at the end to remove the lotion. I can do 60, 90, and 120 minute massages. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
I enjoy meeting new people and helping them to feel better. I also still enjoy the people that have been with me for years. There are those who feel a periodic treatment is integral to their health and wellbeing.
I enjoy making massage a part of a treatment or as a stand alone intervention. I like the physicality of it. I specialize in deep tissue and sports massage. I recognize the benefits of a great massage all by it's self.

You can definitely tell Ed has been at this for years. The massage far exceeded my expectations. He was able to help me with my shoulder/neck and low back issues. He knew exactly where to go. I slept great that night and will definitely be going back to see him.
-
Ed was thorough, sensitive, and non-intrusive. A very business-like, vigorous massage. I will definitely return and I recommend him enthusiastically.

Ed listens to all my concerns. He has successfully addressed both pain an neurologic deficits after emergency surgery. He has also helped my anxiety quite a bit. I feel like I got my life back
