His story

From finance to fascia

My path to becoming an RMT was unconventional – I started out as a finance major, and it wasn’t until I finished my degree that I realized the industry wasn’t for me. With a passion for fitness and a real desire to help people, I looked at my options and landed on massage therapy.

With more than ten years in bodybuilding and powerlifting, I was no stranger to the use – and abuse – the body takes from daily life. Discovering paramedical massage let me stay close to the things I love while helping others feel their best.

Having worked through plenty of my own sports injuries, I’ve learned first-hand how much proper movement can prevent injury in the first place, and how the right training supports both recovery and prevention. That’s why I bring so much of it into my practice.

How he can help

Care Vernon offers

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)

A whole-body stretching approach that frees up the fascia so everything moves better – “like going from tight jeans to sweatpants.”

Lower back pain

Hands-on treatment for the everyday low-back pain most of us deal with, plus exercises to keep it from returning.

Headaches & migraines

Releasing trigger points and tension in the upper back, neck and shoulders – including jaw-related (TMJ) causes – that refer pain into the head.

Strain & sprain recovery

Manual therapy to encourage blood flow to injured muscle, tendon and ligament, with exercises to support recovery.

Sports injuries

Targeted care for sport-related strains and sprains, and a plan to get you moving well again.

General wellness & relaxation

From everyday stiffness and tension to stress relief – sometimes you just need some TLC.
