spinal reflex therapist, deep tissue and trigger point therapy
CLAYTON TUNE
Pain—even the smallest amounts—can greatly alter one’s life. Unfortunately, in many cases, we condition ourselves to keep going and ignore what troubles us. The long term results can often lead to damaging results, not least of which is immense frustration. I am a certified Massage Therapist and have been practicing since 2017, when I developed a passion for helping people to not only manage their pain but improve their mobile and/or mental abilities. I studied at Northern Virginia Community College, and have practiced massage therapy in spa, sport, and clinical settings. Utilizing the benefits of soft tissue manipulation, my hope and interest is to help my clients restore a healthy range of motion or posture and manage, if not eliminate, the current pain they struggle with. This includes the pain of mental stress and anxiety, prevalent in our busy Northern VA area. I specialize in Swedish Relaxation, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, and Hot Stone Massage, and Spinal Reflex Therapy (SRT) to address the spondylogenic reflex (a reflex from the spine). I can also personalize your treatment to your individual needs.

Tatiana Garrett
We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
As a massage therapist specializing in deep tissue and Swedish massage, I focus on relieving muscle tension and promoting relaxation. Deep tissue massage targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, providing significant relief for chronic pain and muscle injuries. Swedish massage, on the other hand, uses long, flowing strokes to enhance circulation and overall well-being. My sessions are tailored to each client's specific needs, ensuring a personalized and effective experience. With a commitment to holistic health, I aim to improve both physical and mental wellness through therapeutic touch.

Dain Boyd
Where strength meets serenity.
Dain's journey towards becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist is one of remarkable transformation and resilience. His deep understanding of the human body stems from nearly two decades of immersive fitness experience. He began in the world of CrossFit, earning his Level 2 coaching certification and guiding athletes of all levels. This foundation led him to explore diverse training disciplines – from the raw power of strongman and powerlifting (culminating in a world record deadlift of 689lbs) to the precision of Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics, and even Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Beyond athletics, Dain served as a correctional officer for a maximum-security state prison, gaining firsthand experience in the demands of law enforcement and the importance of mental and physical resilience. He understands the unique challenges faced by individuals from all walks of life, from athletes to first responders.
Dain's personal transformation is perhaps his greatest testament. Having once weighed over 330lbs, he successfully shed over 140lbs, gaining invaluable insight into the challenges and triumphs of weight management. His commitment to holistic wellness deepened after experiencing significant injuries – including shoulder surgery and severe cervical/spinal trauma from motorcycle accidents and being hit by a truck – which required extensive rehabilitation. This journey ignited his passion for helping others heal and recover.
He further honed his skills working alongside chiropractors and physical therapists, deepening his understanding of injury rehabilitation and therapeutic techniques. Before returning to his Virginia roots, Dain shared his knowledge as a massage instructor at an Arizona college, where he empowered aspiring therapists with the tools and techniques to facilitate healing.
Dain's expertise extends beyond traditional massage. He incorporates holistic modalities such as energy work, yoga, breathwork, and meditation into his practice. He believes in treating the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – to facilitate deep healing and lasting transformation.
If you're seeking relief from chronic pain, recovering from injury, or simply looking to enhance your well-being, Dain offers a unique blend of therapeutic expertise and compassionate care. He will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your individual needs and goals.
Medical Massage
Medical massage (neuromuscular manipulation) is a specific healing method. It requires expert knowledge and extensive training in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, pathology and client assessment. The practitioner must have critical thinking skills to make connections between different symptoms and causes. This is where spa massage and medical massage differ.
A spa massage (usually deep tissue or Swedish) is perfect for maintaining good health. It affects circulation, lymph system, endocrine system, musculoskeletal system, integumentary system and gastrointestinal system. Regular massages keep all of those systems in good working order.
When do we need medical massage? When muscle, joint and postural imbalance happens simultaneously. These conditions create chronic pain in the body, which over time leads to serious soft tissue damages. A well-trained medical massage therapist is able to identify and correct not just the postural misalignment but also the muscle imbalance, which usually is the cause of the conditions.
The spa therapist only treats the symptoms and gives the client a temporary relief from pain. A medical massage practitioner identifies the real cause of the chronic pain and treats the cause itself instead of the symptoms. The result of medical massage is a permanent pain free life.
