Matthew Money: Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist # 12200
Owner of Bodywork Basics Massage Therapy @ the Wilmington Athletic Club
2026 S 16th Street, Wilmington, NC 28412

I have been a massage therapist now for two+ years and I have a passion for helping people. I graduated with my four year degree in Exercise Science from Pfeiffer University in 2011, and studied massage therapy the following year at Forsyth Tech.  

While in college I was a competitive swimmer and I ran track in the off season, which gave me first hand experience with several sports related issues. Currently I'm continuing my sports career with sand volleyball and play two or three nights a week. I love staying active and in my free time I can be found swimming at the beach/pool or training at the gym.

My work is based off my extensive knowledge of kinesiology and anatomy; focusing on how the body moves. I have been told my style is much different from what most people have come to expect from a massage. My goal in massage is to passively shorten tight muscle groups in order to make them more pliable, resulting in a release that generally is as effective if not more so than deep tissue techniques, without the intense pain associated with deep tissue work. Each session is completely customized to the client’s needs and I can incorporate my style into each modality I practice: Swedish, Sports, Therapeutic, Deep Tissue and Hot Stone Therapy.
