The Morris Method™

As the lead massage therapist for the Boston Marathon's elite John Hancock athletes for the past 23 years, I bring my extensive neuromuscular therapy experience to the Boston area.

Athletes and non-athletes alike will benefit from the comprehensive conditioning program that I have developed. My program will increase flexibility and strength while reducing overuse injuries. Common complaints that I can address include tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder and lower back pain.

My work managing, training and working with injury prevention and rehabilitation has brought relief to marathon and sprint runners, rowers, hockey players, tri-athletes, golf athletes and many more. Additionally, I work with the medical community in responding to treatment resistant patients.

Professional Highlights include:

You don't need to be an athlete to benefit from my massage techniques. Common complaints that both athletes and non-athletes suffer with include:

Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow is a condition where the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender. It's a condition that is commonly associated with playing tennis, though the injury can happen to almost anybody.

Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammatory condition caused by excessive wear to the plantar fascia of the foot or biomechanical faults that cause abnormal pronation of the foot. The pain usually is felt on the underside of the heel, and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. It is commonly associated with long periods of weight bearing or sudden changes in weight bearing or activity.

Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder is a disorder in which the shoulder capsule, the connective tissue surrounding the glenohumeral joint of the shoulder, becomes inflamed and stiff, and grows together with abnormal bands of tissue, called adhesions, greatly restricting motion and causing chronic pain.

Lower Back Pain
Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder causing back pain in the lumbar vertebrae. It can be either acute, subacute or chronic in its clinical presentation. Typically, the symptoms of low back pain do show significant improvement within two to three months from its onset. In a significant number of individuals, low back pain tends to be recurrent in nature with a waxing and waning quality to it.
