Jim Stevens, Master Manual Therapist & Physical Trauma Specialist Relieving pain and injury since 1994.

Jim Stevens objective is to aide in the health and well-being of the physical body by treating pain, trauma, and immobility with the gentlest and most effective treatments available, while simultaneously, developing new techniques and increasing the potential reach of manual medicine.

Although Jim Stevens is a licensed massage therapist, his work and skill is more osteopathic in origin. He begins by "listening" to the body and allow it to show us (through tension patterns) where the restrictions are located. He then gently release the restrictions that present themselves. The specific areas are often found within the internal organs, arterial network, nerves, bones, connective tissue, and occasionally muscle. It is rather like treating the body from the inside out. Once the primary restrictions are removed, Jim will smooth things out by massaging the muscles, thus effectively treating both the cause and the symptom. It is fantastic that we can manipulate and work with all the tissues of the body, creating a freedom of movement that allows all of the bodies systems to move and function more efficiently and effectively.
