Blue Ridge Medical & Sports Massage

The ethos of "To Serve, To Strive, and Not To Yield" has been the driving force behind Blue Ridge Medical and Sports Massage's commitment to providing unparalleled massage therapy services. Since our inception, we have been dedicated to serving our clients, community, and family with the utmost respect, care, and professionalism.

Our journey began in the picturesque mountains of Western North Carolina, where we have been proudly serving the residents and visitors of Hendersonville for over a decade. Our mission is to restore pain-free range of motion to our clients, working alongside physicians and healthcare practitioners as a team to address each situation and fix the problem, not just the symptoms.

Our Founder: A Passion for Healing and Service

Blue Ridge Medical and Sports Massage's founder, a native North Carolinian and a licensed massage therapist, has been serving the Henderson County community for over 25 years. After graduating from the Center for Massage and Natural Health in Asheville, NC, in 2003, they quickly recognized their passion for helping those with chronic pain, traumatic soft tissue injuries, and athletic performance maintenance.

Their dedication to continuous learning and growth has led them to study under renowned experts in the field, such as David Luther, James Waslaski, and Erik Dalton. As a certified teaching assistant for the Center for Pain Management, they have had the privilege of traveling throughout the southeast as a teaching assistant for Mr. Waslaski.

In addition to their extensive education and experience, our founder is deeply committed to their personal well-being and staying up-to-date with the latest research on bodywork. When not serving clients, they enjoy biking, hiking, sharing meals with friends, and reading the latest bodywork research.
