I work with tissue manipulation but also deep nervous system relaxation and body-awareness to help support an environment of balance and well-being.

"I tore a muscle (waist height) about 5 years ago. No amount of physical therapy or trigger point injections by an anesthesiologist cured the pain problem. Andrew determined which muscle caused the problem and worked on releasing the tension, thus reducing pain. Extremely effective! Andrew has a calm demeanor, very relational, checks in frequently during treatment, and is totally in tune with his clients. I can't recommend him highly enough." - K.W.

If you're struggling with pain, stiffness, immobility, or depression, anxiety, burnout, etc... it can be hard to think of moving your body as a joyful activity. And the social pressure for "exercise" to look a certain way can add another mental barrier to you moving in a way that feels good in YOUR body. I'm here to remind you that your body, with all of it's limitations and peculiarities, is still a miraculously beautiful and dynamic expression of nature.

If you're struggling with pain, stiffness, immobility, or depression, anxiety, burnout, etc... it can be hard to think of moving your body as a joyful activity. And the social pressure for "exercise" to look a certain way can add another mental barrier to you moving in a way that feels good in YOUR body. I'm here to remind you that your body, with all of it's limitations and peculiarities, is still a miraculously beautiful and dynamic expression of nature. Even the smallest nod of the head, or twitch of the toe, is a mind-boggling feat of engineering when you consider how many thousands of complex processes are actually involved in your cells working together to move. With a little creativity, movement can be a celebration of the profound improbability of our existence, as opposed to a tedious chore.

If this sounds like something that clicks with you, I've written more about it in my recent blog post "Finding Joy In Movement" along with another post with an exercise that can help you discover what that might actually look like for you. Find it here --- https://www.andrewshaffermassage.com/blog/finding-joy-in-movement

Oh also another thing that might help you feel good in your body is getting a massage ;-)
