The Difference Isn’t The Massage
At first glance, you might think what makes Adolphus Bodyworks different is the combination of deep tissue massage, stretching, dry needling, exercise principles and rehabilitation techniques.
Those things matter.
But they’re not what makes the difference.
Bodywork is more than massage.
It’s the ability to identify the restrictions, movement limitations and compensation patterns most likely contributing to pain, stiffness and dysfunction, then address them through hands-on treatment, stretching, movement and practical exercise.
Most therapists know techniques.
Specialists know when to use them.
My approach combines advanced anatomy knowledge, international sports massage training, stretching therapy, exercise principles and practical experience helping clients improve movement, mobility and function.
The goal is simple.
Find the opportunity. Improve movement. Reduce pain. Restore function.
Lower Back & Hip Health
My Primary Area Of Focus
Designed for people experiencing:
- Lower back pain
- Hip pain and stiffness
- Reduced mobility
- Tight hip flexors
- Gluteal dysfunction
- QL dysfunction
- Ongoing muscular tightness
- Movement restrictions
Lower back pain often affects far more than the back itself.
It can impact sleep, exercise, work, sport, confidence and quality of life.
Treatment focuses on identifying restrictions affecting the way the lower back and hips function together. Depending on your presentation, treatment may include bodywork, stretching, mobility work, movement assessment and practical self-management advice.
This is my most requested service.
