Brian Phillips L.M.T.

In my search for an effective method to treat chronic pain, I chose myofascial release as my specialty.

​

I collaborate with an acupuncturist so clients have additional support if needed. 

Credentials: L.M.T. from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, San Diego, CA., with ongoing certifications in myofascial release taught by John F. Barnes.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is for you if

​

• You have not recovered from an injury or surgery

​

• You have seen multiple doctors and are upset/confused with your diagnosis

Myofascial Release is not for you if

​

• You are expecting myofascial release to be like massage (it is not)
