Dave Gassner LMT, MMP, has experience not only as a Licensed Massage Therapist but also as a patient. His interest in massage therapy started as a teenager when he received massage while participating in sports. As an adult Dave sustained a low back and knee injury which crippled him for almost two years and required surgery. Even though he followed all the medical advice, Dave was not healing, and lacked the mobility and reduction in pain he was looking for. Dave once again turned to massage therapy for help and became so involved in his treatment, he decided to attend massage therapy school and entered the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy in Newington, Connecticut. CCMT is considered one of the top accredited massage schools in the country. After graduating from CCMT Dave immediately continued his education by becoming a Certified Medical Massage Practitioner and in 2021 became a Certified Lymphedema Therapist. Dave has worked with professional sports teams from the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and the National Lacrosse League (NLL) as well as high school and college athletes throughout Connecticut. Dave‘s clinical approach and intuition has benefited many people. Clients come to him for sports maintenance, injury prevention, and injury recovery. Patients are referred to him for treatment of old injuries along with new ones. Dave believes many people just suffer through pain because their time is limited, or they are uncomfortable in a open setting with others watching their therapeutic recovery. Don’t suffer any longer. Allow us the privilege to assist and get you back to optimum performance.
