Two ways to work with me. Same price either way.
Full body, under the sheets
A proper full body session. You are draped the whole time, warm, and I work. The pressure goes deep because that is the point, but you should float out of here, not limp.
Whatever you are comfortable in, or nothing at all. Only the area I am working on is uncovered.
Quick chat about what has been bugging you, then you get on the table. Cups, blades, hot towels, whatever the tissue wants. All included.
People who would rather be worked on than do the work themselves. Desk shoulders, stress living in your neck, anyone who likes a serious massage.
60, 90, or 120 minutes. The longer ones are where I actually get everywhere.
Assessment-led bodywork for stubborn pain
The problem-solving one. No sheets, because I need to see you move and I need to be able to move you. Still very much hands-on, there is just more looking, testing and explaining wrapped around it.
Shorts or briefs, and a sports bra if that applies. Think of it like showing up to train.
We watch how you actually move, not just where it hurts. Then manual work, and back into the position that bothered you to see what changed.
Stubborn pain that has not budged for rest, stretching, or the last four people you paid to look at it. Lifters and athletes. Anyone tired of being told to manage it.
60, 90, or 120 minutes. Same price as deep tissue.
Most people have already tried something. They've stretched, rested, seen a chiropractor, done PT. The pain keeps coming back because nobody identified why it started. Forge Therapy uses a clinical movement assessment framework to build a real theory about your pain and treat the source directly.
Meet the Bodysmith
One misdiagnosis. Then another. Then another. Chondromalacia. Patellofemoral pain syndrome. Femoral nerve entrapment. One chiropractor, four physical therapists, an orthopedist. Nobody could explain why I was in pain. Not correctly, anyway.
So I started digging, and I found Shirley Sahrmann's research on movement impairment syndromes. For the first time my pain made sense. Not as a diagnosis, but as a movement problem with a mechanical cause. That changed everything about how I work.
If you come in for sports therapy, we start by looking at how you actually move. Joint mechanics, the positions that bother you, tests built to produce a real theory instead of a guess. Then it's targeted hands-on work, and you leave knowing what I found and what to do about it.
And if you just want a genuinely good deep tissue massage with none of that, book deep tissue and get on the table. Both are honest work.
I don't diagnose and I don't prescribe. What I do is give your body the attention it deserves and actually explain what I find.
Most of my clients have already tried something. They've been told to rest, to stretch, or to just manage it, and handed generic programs that never accounted for how they actually move.
I work with regular people carrying chronic pain, and I have a deep love for the sport of bodybuilding and the athletes who push hard enough to need someone who understands what that demands.
If you want someone to tell you what's wrong without actually solving it, I'm not your guy.
Finnick is a true professional with a wealth of knowledge and experience. It is very difficult to find a practitioner who really understands the body and has ability to deliver precision manual therapy. He is much more than a sports massage therapist, he is someone who can properly assess issues and create a high level action plan.
I have worked with some of the top therapists in the most competitive cities and he truly a 1 of 1.
I recently visited Finnick at Forge Therapy because of issues with my IT band. I had been experiencing pain and soreness nearly everyday. Not only did he fix that issue but he also ran other tests on me to get to the root of my issues. Finnick was able to point out issues that I wasn't even aware about. He is by far the best massage therapist I've been to. He is extremely knowledgeable and very thorough with his craft. What I really loved was that he also gave me things I could do on my own at home to help prevent the issue from returning. If you're in pain or even want to gain a better understanding of how your body is supposed to move, Finnick is the person to go see! Can't recommend him enough!
Started working w Finnick a few months back and followed him as he ventured out into his own practice! Totally worth it and highly recommend for those who have pain and restrictions from their normal everyday, up to athletes who need help with their recovery and leveling up their performance.
While I used to be much more active, my biggest issues lately have been more so related to being in odd positions as a dentist and life changes. I've been getting bodywork for years at this point. It's been a mixture of all types of massage, CST, Chiro, and PT work. No one has ever been as thorough, calculated or as in depth as Finnick.
He blends different techniques that are not cookie cutter, and takes it even further too educate so that problems don't persist. I appreciate his care, expertise and keeping me out of my previous everyday pain. Highly recommend!
