Jacob Silverman

Jacob believes that injuries and pain are a natural consequence of life, which create opportunities for change. He believes our behavior in response to pain ultimately shapes our outcome. When we have an issue with our tissues, it’s because of a decreased local ecology in some parts of the body: usually involving excessive inflammation, insufficient functional capacity, and insufficient nutrition. His goal as a massage therapist is to help you overcome these problems by providing manual techniques to reduce your discomfort as well as effective tools and educational resources to empower you in the process of building resiliency. He is practiced in myofascial release, Swedish deep tissue massage, neuromuscular techniques, active and passive stretching, and joint mobilization. A typical session includes a combination of these techniques aimed at addressing your specific complaint(s). Home care exercises will be provided, intended to improve specific functional capacities, and consist of select effective and sustainable practices to incorporate into your life 10-30 minutes a day.
