Matthew first demonstrated an interest in pain relief through massage techniques, with reading “Pain Erasure” by Bonnie Prudden.
His interest in massage took on a personal dimension, after experiencing the healing capabilities of therapeutic massage while in the hospital recovering from surgery.
Motivated by his experiences, Matthew continued his independent studies developing skill and expertise.
After one of Matthew’s family members suffered a cervical spine injury, he dedicated himself to a formal therapeutic massage certification program and continues to significantly advance his massage education.
