Christopher’s Bio

Christopher Warren | Massage Therapist | Holistic Health Practitioner | Exercise Physiologist

Well, this is awkward.

So I (Christopher Warren) write most of the content on this here website and so writing my own bio in the third person seems a bit strange . . . as does writing in the first. Conundrum. When in doubt, do both:

I guess we can just boil what I do down to this statement: I’m a muscle guy. Not that I have particularly impressive musculature myself, mind, but if your ailments and pains involve imbalances with your muscles, odds are I can help. I have three sets of tools I used to calm, correct and retrain musculature so they act appropriately: Massage therapy, exercise protocols and stretch programs.

I have a masters in Exercise Physiology to cover the exercise/stretch programs and a Holistic Health Practitioner’s degree (fancy name for a 1000 hour/2 year massage license) to make you feel comfy with my manual manipulation skills. But, honestly, it is the 12 years of full-time experience working with clients on a one-on-one basis that makes it rather comfortable for me to say that “if the problem is in the muscles, I can help.”

I fancy myself a rare hybrid therapist that owns a deep understands of how the muscles affect a person’s physiology. That is, when something is off, I can tell why . . . and, hopefully, conjure the body to remedy the situation. I don’t believe I fix people’s bodies. Rather, I hold that I create a scenario where a person’s body can function more efficiently and without pain. Your body does the healing, I only facilitate things . . . more on that here.

And, with all sincerity, I must admit that I truly care about my clients. I want them well. I want them to graduate out of corrective rehabilitation and only come in for tune-ups here and there. I hope that I have to find another way to make money in this world because everyone is perfectly functional, healthy and has no need of my type of services. That’d be nice, eh?
