What Is Orthopedic Massage?

Orthopedic massage is a clinical approach to addressing pain and dysfunction. It aims to assess and treat soft tissue imbalances, joint issues, and movement restrictions using precise muscular work and stretching techniques.

But traditional orthopedic massage often stops at surface-level symptom relief—and the results don’t last.

Why My Approach is Different

What I offer isn’t massage therapy—it’s something more advanced. I use the Coaching The Body® method, which combines orthopedic massage principles with cutting-edge neuromuscular techniques, trigger point mapping, movement retraining, and nervous system downregulation.

This is Orthopedic Massage Plus:

Functional movement assessments
Advanced trigger point therapy
Movement-based treatment
Nervous system calming strategies

The result? A smarter, more targeted path to resolving pain at the source—creating real, lasting change when other treatments haven’t worked.

How My Work (CTB®) Compares to Traditional Orthopedic Massage

Traditional orthopedic massage focuses on pressure and short-term relief. Coaching The Body® bodywork traces pain and dysfunction to their neuromuscular roots—often in muscles you wouldn’t expect.

By combining clinical techniques, movement retraining, and pain science, I deliver a session that actually resolves pain long-term. This is "Orthopedic Massage Plus".

Client Success Stories

Susan Niswander

IronMan Champion

When I first came to Doug, I could not move my left shoulder without pain and could not swim. With his help I got out of pain, was able to continue training, and not only finished the Mont-Tremblant IronMan, I won! I could not have done it without him!

Carmen Keller

Neck Pain

Amazing results! Recommending Doug to everyone I know. So grateful for Doug's patience and expertise. He's truly gifted. I've had a painful and stiff neck for 3 months and after various types of treatment Doug is the only person that has been able to help.

Fred Smith

Low Back Pain

Doug very obviously knows what he is doing. I went for relief from a specific injury. I was able to go back to work the next day.
