Alex first became enamored with Massage Therapy working in his previous career for a large corporation. He was experiencing paralytic lower back spasms, and after discussions with his physician, decided to pursue Massage Therapy for treatment. After a six-month period of one-hour sessions once a month, he was completely pain free. Years later, Alex decided Massage Therapy was a calling he was drawn to. He enrolled in the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy where he fell in love, not just with the romance and mysticism of massage, but with the science as well. Having a unified understanding of human anatomy and physiology, combined with a working knowledge of kinesiology, has enable him to zero in on root causes of muscular discomfort and disfunction. This approach has allowed him to help clients alleviate their discomfort and promote practices to help prevent it from resurfacing.
