David Wallsteadt, LCMT

Nationally Certified & State Licensed

My education has more clinical background because I wanted to be able to understand the body and communicate the changes I was facilitating so that I would be a trusted part of your healthcare team. My compassionate and caring personality gives my touch a focus on wellness and overall health. Though my touch can facilitate therapeutic change within the body, my intention is always to make you feel good, relaxed and secure.

Some massage therapists believe "no pain, no gain;" that is not my approach at all. I want to get to know your tissue, your body, and your activities and help create lasting change to reduce pain and stress. I use moderate pressure with slow broad strokes to stretch the muscles, creating space, and reducing tension. Passively moving the joints through their range of motion helps remind the body it can move while also causing the muscles to relax. I also incorporate several different techniques for different results, and chat with you about them to decide if they will be appropriate for your needs.
