After 21 years of working with people who have the common “aches & pains” in their necks, shoulders & lower backs, I am convinced that much of the discomfort–– as much as 70%–– is directly related to being out of balance from a muscular/skeletal perspective. i.e., having poor posture.
Over the last eight years, I have radically changed my massage practice from traditional, relaxing massage to what I call “bodywork”.
If you are interested in gaining lasting relief from your aching back, neck, or shoulders, I am confident that I can help you reduce your discomfort by at least 50% in about 5, 1-hour sessions.
How can I say this? Because I have achieved the above results with numerous people ranging in age from 73 to young adults in their 30s. If you are willing to spend 15 minutes at least 5 times a week doing a combination of safe stretching and light, slow weight-training exercises, you can decrease your aching body in a significant way.
I will work with you using a combination of deep tissue work, safe stretches, and basic anatomical education. After 5 weeks you will feel and look more balanced, have a greater sense of body awareness and your aching body will be a thing of the past.
Call me at 412-855-1532 to arrange your first session.

From Eddie
“I graduated from massage school in 1999 as I had always been interested in body building and saw this as a way for me to further that interest. Upon graduation, I began to educate myself about the relationship between aging and frailty, based on work done by the National Institute on Aging. A takeaway from that period was primarily that one could gain muscle mass at any age. Soon, I worked with a group of older women for 14 years, twice a week, and assisted them in becoming stronger and more flexible. With that knowledge, I began an in-depth study of anatomy and muscular/skeletal balance, better known as posture. Gradually, I changed my work to include yoga-based stretching and light weight-training. From clients who committed themselves to 15 minutes 4 or 5 times a week of stretching and strengthening their bodies, we both witnessed a marked decrease in muscular tightness and discomfort. I continued my study to include Muscle Release Techniques, shoulder work, Yoga, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, and Sports and Bodywork.”
