Who I am and what I provide:
Hi, I'm John Mills and I'm passionate about helping people move and feel better. In 2018 my wife and I relocated here from California, bringing with me years of experience and multiple state licenses in therapeutic massage. My education spans gross anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, pathology and even mental health counseling, because I believe true healing requires understanding the body and mind as a whole. I regularly collaborate with physicians, chiropractors and other health-care professionals so that together we can improve your well-being quickly and cost-effectively.
My approach is a medical/sports hybrid that goes far beyond a typical "deep tissue" massage. I combine stretching, cupping and Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) to break down scar adhesions, manage pain and --when appropriate, stimulate the Vagus nerve. Each session is designed to get to the root cause of your discomfort rather than just soothing symptoms. That means I'll work deeply into your muscles and fascia, mobilize your joints and assess your entire body, not just spot the area that is sore. That work can be intense and methodical, but it should never be painful.
Every client begins with a range-of-motion assessment, and treatments are scheduled for a minimum of 90-minutes to allow time for both the exam and hands-on work. If your tissues need extra time to release, I won't rush or charge extra; your healing is my priority.
I'm committed to continual learning and recently completed advanced training in Las Vegas, where I studied cutting-edge techniques to address frozen shoulders, hip and ankle issues, knee pain and other orthopedic concerns. I also now incorporate MPS Neurostimulator to help repair scar tissue and reduce post-surgical adhesions when manual work isn't enough.
I have also incorporated cupping into my massage practice as it dramatically reduces adhesions as a result of injury or surgeries.
Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury or just want to move more freely, I'll tailor each session to help you reach your goals so you can get back to doing what you love, pain-free. If you are just looking to relax, come on over I do Swedish massage too!
