Specialties

My name is Steven Ritts and I am a practitioner of Myofascial Release (John Barnes Approach) which is the ultimate bodywork therapy. Myofascial Release focuses on releasing the restrictions in our connective tissues that pull 2500 pounds of pressure per square inch and cause most of the pain and dysfunction in the body. Unlike traditional massage it focuses on treating the cause of dysfunction not just masking the symptoms.

This is a low-​to-​no pain treatment that gets lasting permanent results. This is not traditional deep tissue massage. The term «Myofascial Release» is greatly misused recently, by therapists and companies. I practice the original therapy and have been trained extensively by John Barnes himself (over 200 hours).

I also practice LaStone Therapy which is more like a massage experience and involves the therapeutic benefits of using varying temperatures and massaging with warm and cool stones. If oil massage is more what you want then this is definitely for you.

Business Owner

My name is Steven Ritts and I began practicing therapeutic bodywork in 2008 after many years in the emergency medical field. During massage school I met LaStone’s founder Mary Nelson and became a master LaStone therapist, leaving most traditional «therapeutic massage» techniques behind because they weren’t getting lasting results for people. My journey in LaStone Therapy eventually led me to Myofascial Release and they now are the only methods that I practice. My goal is to get lasting, beneficial, and permanent results for all that I serve. I will customize a treatment to fit your needs.
