His primary goal is to help people receive an alternative treatment for injury-related musculature issues and trauma. Using his knowledge in alternative medicine, aromatherapy, herbology, and more than a decade of clinical massage practice, he creates completely custom-tailored massage regimens. John has learned and taken skills from various modalities-Eastern and Western traditions. His practice operates from a core theory that stagnation is the root cause of poor range of motion, which causes inflammation, and finally results in pain. During the treatment, John examines areas of stagnation in musculature regions, energetic (Qi) channels, motor points, trigger points, joints, and lymphatic system. Since each person presents different complaints and needs, his treatments can involve cupping, moxibustion, E-stim, and Gua Sha.
