Welcome
My name is Ray Pratt, and I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2015. My passion began in my early teen years when I was dealing with an injury and experienced the power of soft tissue work for the first time. I have worked in various massage therapy settings, with a primary focus in clinical settings. Early in my career, I embarked on a journey of continuing education, exploring neuromuscular therapy, IASTM, rock tape, pain science education, myofascial release, cranial sacral therapy, visceral therapy, and more, adding many tools to my toolbox. It was incredibly fulfilling to help people achieve their goals until I encountered failure. The inability to help someone drove me to seek answers tirelessly. Then, in 2020, I discovered a technique called fascial counterstrain, which I was initially skeptical about. However, after attending my first course, listening to Brian speak, and witnessing the profound effects of this technique firsthand convinced me of its potential. This technique revolutionized my perspective on dysfunction, tightness, and pain production. Over the past four years, it has been a journey learning more of the intricate web that the human body is. Its relationships, its interactions and new concepts that have transformed my treatment approach. Many individuals who used to return with the same persistent issues are now achieving their goals. I am passionate about this powerful approach and continually expanding my knowledge to help empower as many individuals as possible.
My Philosophy
I believe in collaboration. With that in mind, I consider myself a part of your healthcare team. This team may include a variety of providers such as chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, osteopaths, naturopaths, physical therapists, personal trainers, medical doctors, among others. I hold the conviction that there is immense value in receiving care from not just one, but a team of collaborative experts. My aim is not to replace your team but to work alongside them to determine which of the body's systems may need attention. Fascial Counterstrain involves a thorough assessment of the body's various systems to identify and treat the root causes of your condition, not merely the symptoms.
