Becoming a massage therapist has been one of the greatest things I have ever done. I started work at a local chiropractor's office, in Philadelphia . I began to see people, as more than "users behind a computer." People have REAL pain in their lives. Pain that extends beyond the physical into the innermost parts of a person. The moment I got hands-on, I realized I've been preparing myself for this all these years, with all of my experiences, troubles and my joys. I'm effective "fixer", I realized the gift I had.  Being open to help people was a start and being told after each massage session, great hands Justin, hearing this motivated me. Now, I can't wait to see every client who walks through the door and wonder how I will help in renew them. Meet the Business Owner Justin S. Business Owner Pain is the body's way of saying, 'something is wrong, please pay attention.'" This calling into massage therapy has taken me on a tour of disciplines. Each of my career path choices, from service, to my hours of study in Biological Sciences, to a Bachelors degree in Psychology has helped shape my understanding of health and wellness. Each choice has brought me into alignment with the strong, intuitive healer that I have always been. From my own personal experience, past injuries or subconscious stress/irritation can keep the body from its normal, free-working range of motion. A release of those tensions can restore the body to its natural, joyful, pain-free balance. I believe that an alternative solution to pharmaceutical or even surgical remedies is to view pain as a symptom; and go looking for the underlying condition. By unlocking areas of both physical and emotional trauma, we allow the body to heal and transform itself. That is the work; that is the journey.
