As a former EMT and Paramedic Assistant, Kevin's interest in medicine carried him far beyond the basic studies for therapeutic massage.  He has received one-on-one training from medical massage experts in locations all over the United States. 

Kevin has excelled in a medical massage technique known as "Myofascial Release."  With Myofascial Release (also called MFR), he is able to use his hands to slowly penetrate down through all the various layers of skin and muscle and locate the source of your pain.  Myofascial Release has been documented to have dissolved away extensive scar tissue, reversed neuropathies, increased range of motion, relieved acute and chronic pain, improved breathing, and much, much more.  The body is like a video recorder in the respect that it captures past traumas and keeps replaying them to convince the body it must protect and brace itself against any future injury.  The non-invasive MFR techniques allow the body to release those old traumas and unnecessary bracing and allows it to be more at ease.  Kevin's Advanced Myofascial Release Specialization focuses on the muscular and trauma-related issues directly associated with the female abdominal/pelvic region including pre-natal and post-partum complications.  Kevin is currently writing an instructional book on this specialized area of medical massage.

Kevin is also a fully Certified Lymphedema Therapist and a registered fitter for both Jobst and Juzo compression garments
