My name is John Mills and I'm a licensed Massage Therapist with a diverse background in anatomy, physiology, nutrition and psychology. I believe that the human body is a complex machine that requires assistance in functioning properly, especially as we age. 

What can you expect when you visit me? I'm very professional in all aspects of my life. You will be protected, and I sincerely hope you will feel welcome too. At no time will I ever touch you without your express permission!  Matter of fact, I'll even explain why I need to go to this muscle or this joint before I ask permission to do so. Too many therapists have breached their professional boundaries and that is never going to happen here.

Why am I different? I have an engineering background and love troubleshooting problems. Same goes with massage. You come to me because you are hurting and for whatever reason, nothing has helped in the past. I want to find out why and what is the root cause of the pain. There can be a plethora of reasons, and I will examine the obvious ones when you are on the table and as time progresses, I’ll delve deeper. It may take time to find the root cause of your pain and distress. At times, you might not need a deep tissue and just want to relax.  Don't worry, I can do Swedish massage too!

When performing a deep tissue massage, I will incorporate pre and post exams. How can you tell if anything was improved unless there is a baseline to compare to? The exam takes up to 15 minutes before and after. I only do this for my medical/sports hybrid massages. You don't have to do this for a relaxation massage. 

In a 90-minute appointment, you get 60+ minutes on the table. Sometimes it will be longer if you have the time. When I'm working, time is relative. Fixing the problem is much more important than following a rigid timeline. I never charge for going over the time limit. I want to help you feel better and sometimes that tissues just won't relax.
