Hi, I’m Brad Stevens and let’s be honest, I’m not the typical massage therapist, I’m a Retired Army Flight Paramedic, and Former Firefighter/Paramedic. I don’t want to be a typical anything, so if you have had a massage before, don’t expect the same experience. I use a variety of techniques and often cupping and instruments that won’t cost you extra.
My mission is to help you heal. I am going to use my past medical knowledge and put all of that into a Medical, Neuromuscular, Deep tissue, or Sports massage. Let me be very clear-my Swedish technique as awesome as it is, it’s not my specialty. I can refer you to an awesome therapist that is better at it then I am if you would prefer that technique. I will still provide that service if you would like, but I must include an upcharge for this service.
