Depending on assessment findings and treatment goals, Caleb may incorporate therapeutic massage, fascial cupping, Indie Head Massage (Champissage), Neurofunctional Acupuncture, and sport-specific exercises or movement strategies. These techniques may be incorporated into massage therapy appointments when clinically appropriate and consented to.
Caleb also offers Sports-Specific Massage Therapy, a focused treatment option for recreational and competitive athletes. Drawing on his athletic therapy background, these sessions take a proactive approach to managing the physical demands of training while also addressing existing injuries, recurring discomfort and chronic training-related concerns.
