Steves Therapeutic Bodywork

I was looking for a massage therapist and through my network of friends, I found out about Steve. I went to him looking for basic muscle tension relief and much to my surprise, found a profoundly deep healer of the body, mind and soul. After one session, it did not take any coaxing for me to commit to the 10 session protocol he suggested and I will never regret that decision. Exponentially, this was the most thorough, transforming healing work I have ever received. Not only does my body feel and move better through the world, my mind is clearer, more perceptive and I find I am better equipt to handle what life throws at me with grace and poise. His work cleared away the muscular-​skeletal gunk and junk («adhesions» is the technical term) I was carrying around for decades and in doing that, repaired old injuries that were plaguing me, released areas that had been stubbornly inflexible, and also cleared my mind and opened my heart. Life was very good for me before the sessions, but it is so much better now afterwards. To be fair, it was not always the most comfortable experience on the table, but It was worth every second and every penny. Steve is masterful at his practice and has a wonderfully dry wit that keeps you laughing through every session.

As a self employed body worker of 8 years who specialized in Myo-​Skeletal alignment and soft tissue injuries I feel as if I’m qualified to review this kind of work. I also know I’m fussier than most when it comes to finding a therapist and since moving to this part of the US in 2012 I’ve struggled to find anyone I valued. That’s not to say they aren’t here in abundance, I just didn’t find them.
Anyways I’ve had ongoing spinal issues from old injuries that were exacerbated by stress and poor ergonomics from a job and every so often my own self care (stretching and strengthening) just wouldn’t cut it and my back would lock up and everything would spasm and I’d be in pain and blah blah blah.
I’m a fan of Chiropractic as a modality but very VERY few chiropractors have the ethics to treat patients in a way the benefits the patients recovery versus their bank account…(hear wellness program think over treatment and farewell $$$.)
I wanted someone who really knew what they were doing and wash;t afraid to get stuck in. So I gave Steve a go and I can say afar one session I knew he knew what he was doing. I also knew he was definitely not afraid to get stuck in. My golf swing was the real indicator as to how integrated my entire body was after just one session!
If you’re looking to be pampered and enjoy a relaxing massage, go look elsewhere. If you’re wanting to get rid of old adhesions and stuck, painful patterns in your fascial matrix and can endure a certain amount of discomfort then Rolfing is what you want and Steve is a top notch Rolfer.
He’s super friendly, interesting (in all its interpretations) and sometimes a bit out there, but having worked in the healing arts for some time I know most gifted people are.
Thank you Steve for all you did, sorry this took so long to write.

It’s quite simple, if there were six stars to click on, I would give Steve Nipper six stars out of five.
This massage therapist has hands of gold; intuitive, attentive, exquisitely knowledgeable about the human body. Steve has definitely given me a new lease on life. I have been going to him for about 13 years now, sometimes for deep massage, sometimes for more serious Rolfing structural work. We did the full 10-​session Structural Integration cycle about ten years ago and it was like being reborn into a new body. Really.
I just went for a two-​hour session today, which left me totally, deeply relaxed, about an inch taller, and my voice an octave lower. I am going to sleep good tonight!

I had pain in the knee for ages that I thought I needed to live with and then he fixed it by working on my hip !!! It took a few sessions and then after sometime I realized the knee pain is gone. Also i have been getting treatments from him when ever I am in any pain and his massage always helps. Steve is a master massage therapist, he takes it to a level I did not think possible with massage.
I strongly recommend him for therapeutic massage for whatever pains you, even issues you think nothing can help.
