Our Team
-
A massage therapist for 15 years certified in orthopedic massage treatments, structural treatments, prenatal, and postnatal massage, along with sports technique, myofascial release techniques, neuromuscular, and trigger point work.
“When working with clients, I like to provide a very unique and tailored massage treatment specific to each client's individual needs. A session with me will consist of getting as much information for the visit to assist in developing a treatment plan that will address both long-term and short-term goals. My goal is to have the client back to the most efficient and healthy state of being after a treatment, leaving with a better understanding of themselves from a postural and muscular level.”

Will got his start in the field 12 years ago in Toronto, ON Canada where he attended Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy. In that time, he worked in various clinical settings back home and in Boston. It is in those spaces that he was able to hone his craft to suit a more targeted, orthopedic based audience. He studies the issues that clients come to him with and together, explores which treatment modalities are most effective. Incorporating techniques such as Myofascial Release, Dynamic work/Assisted Stretching, Scar Tissue (Cyriax Friction work), Joint Mobilization, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Intraoral work, Sports Massage, along with an interest in Positional Release work are the ways in which he achieves the goal(s) discussed during intake.
