Walter Dawes

With over 28 years of experience as a professional massage therapist, I bring a deeply refined, results-driven approach to bodywork. My practice integrates advanced techniques including myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and neuromuscular therapy—allowing me to address pain, dysfunction, and tension at their root, not just the surface.

Throughout my career, I've worked with a wide range of clients, helping them recover from injury, improve mobility, and reconnect with their bodies. My work is grounded in both clinical precision and intuitive understanding, creating sessions that are both effective and deeply restorative.

My commitment to discipline and performance extends beyond the treatment room. I've completed a cross-country fixed gear ride, undertaken a 24-hour velodrome endurance challenge, and logged thousands of miles in training and racing. These experiences give me a unique perspective on the demands placed on the body—whether you're an athlete pushing limits or someone simply seeking relief and balance.

Every session is tailored to your specific needs, with the goal of helping you move better, feel better, and perform at your highest level.
