Rafael has worked in the Philadelphia region as a massage therapist for well over a decade. While in high school, he first became interested in bodywork therapy after a trigger-point massage alleviated pain and discomfort from a shoulder injury.

After that experience, he knew that therapeutic bodywork was what he wanted to do with his life. Prior to starting massage school, he would read books, watch videos, and practice techniques on family and friends. In his journey, he has worked on clients from all walks of life from the weekend-warrior to professional athletes while honing his skills.

Rafael, or “Raf”, specializes in deep-tissue massage, deep-pressure swedish, as well as incorporating concepts from table-thai, PNF stretching, and corrective modalities related to the works of John Barnes, Ida Rolf, and Tom Meyers
