Trained in Swedish/Deep Tissue massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Orthopedic Massage, and Myofascial release (Barnes style), he has been practicing since 1999.
Rick’s goal is to release myofascial restrictions that limit range of motion, causing pain and hampering athletic performance. Unable to find relief from sports injuries through traditional care, Rick turned to massage therapy. The results were so positive for him that he sought Professional Massage Training so he could bring that level of relief to others.
