Renato D. Silva, Licensed Massage Therapist
Since early on, even before becoming a massage therapy practitioner, Renato has always been fascinated and drawn to learn about the human body, and how it reacts and adapts itself, given certain conditions and physical behaviors and lifestyles. As as lifelong practitioner of many sporting modalities, and a graduate of CCMT, Renato's a firm believer of our body's capabilities of healing itself, given proper chance.
With the goal of restoring the body as close as possible to its natural condition prior to any chronic physical disfunction /injury, Renato applies his knowledge in order to customize the massage sessions to your physical needs, ranging from a soft touch, to a more deeper and specific type of bodywork.
"If long working hours, followed by repetitive movements have left you with aches and pains, or even physical restrictions, come and see me. If you are an avid athlete or even a weekend warrior, through massage I can help you reduce recovery time and improve workout performance".
Renato's drug free approach to pain relief and stress management might be just what you need.
