The therapist who has been there — on the start line.
Gerard is a multi-credentialed massage and sports therapist — and a serious endurance runner. Marathons, quadrathons, 5 and 10Ks: he trains hard, races often, and knows exactly what it feels like when a body is carrying tension it shouldn't be.
That's the difference. He doesn't just rub where it aches. He reads how you move, finds the real source of the problem, and works it out — with the clinical tools to back it up, from dry needling and shockwave to cupping, IASTM and myofascial release.
An IMTA member, always training in new techniques, in a calm, safe, welcoming room. People walk out lighter, looser, and sleeping better.
