John Stark L.M.T.
“I started my journey as an LMT back in 2017, after watching my sweet wife deal with chronic pain for the last 25 years. I have performed thousands of therapeutic and clinical level massages, and tailor each session to my clients needs. I am certified in many modalities, and have helped thousands of clients regain quality of life that have suffered with a wide range of issues, including fibromyalgia, autoimmune disorders, frozen shoulder, sciatica, S.I. Joint pain, arthritis, piriformis syndrome, chronic pain, hyper mobility, and after various injuries, car accidents & surgeries.
When we experience pain and stress our body releases high levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which causes many health and sleep issues, fatigue, depression /anxiety, acne, and even weight gain. Massage activates the release of oxytocin, endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, all of the “happy” hormones that are vital to pain relief, physical/mental health, and overall wellbeing. This also helps people relax and regain the ability to sleep deeply… of course getting quality rest in turn boosts the immune system as well as overall health, and promotes the body to heal.
I truly believe that massage therapy isn’t a luxury, but in fact a necessity in maintaining a healthy mind and body. I treat all of my client’s comfort, wellness and happiness with the upmost respect and priority.
I look forward to meeting you, and helping boost your quality of life, sleep, health and wellbeing. “
