Strength As Medicine Clinic

Manual Therapy at Strength As Medicine is a clinical, precision-based treatment session designed to identify—and resolve—the underlying causes of musculoskeletal pain and movement dysfunction.

This is not general massage.
This is targeted bodywork performed by a practitioner with nearly three decades of hands-on experience and advanced training in:

orthopedic manual therapy
Upledger craniosacral therapy
fascial release
joint mobilization
neuromuscular re-education
lymphatic mechanics
breath & diaphragm release
nervous-system calming protocols

Each session is customized in real time based on your body’s response, using a blend of techniques curated specifically for your pain pattern, movement restrictions, and long-term goals.

Clients choose Manual Therapy when they want:

relief from chronic or recurrent pain
improved range of motion
faster recovery from injury
less tension in their neck, shoulders, hips, or low back
nervous-system regulation woven into the treatment
a practitioner who understands the whole-body story, not just the symptom

This work treats issues like:

low back pain
neck pain & headaches
hip and shoulder dysfunction
postural stress patterns
sports injuries
tendon/soft tissue restrictions
nerve compression patterns

Advanced Integrative Manual Therapy

The Melt Restoration Immersion™ is a 90-minute sensory experience designed to quiet the nervous system and guide the body into profound states of rest and regulation.

Performed in a darkened room with sound therapy and minimal verbal interaction, this session uses long, flowing, rhythmic touch to gently dissolve physical tension and invite the body into deep parasympathetic stillness.

There is no processing, no dialogue, and no emotional exploration — just uninterrupted rest, safety, and nervous system reset.

Clients often describe the experience as:
-melting
-floating
-timeless
-deeply calming
-the most relaxed they’ve felt in years

Ideal for:
-stress overload
-burnout
-nervous system exhaustion
-sleep issues
-people who want to rest deeply without talking

The Melt Restoration Immersion™

Advanced Lymphatic Therapy™ is a highly specialized, deeply restorative treatment that uses precise, feather-light touch to stimulate lymph flow, reduce inflammation, and reset the body’s internal fluid dynamics. This work goes far beyond traditional “lymphatic massage.”

Trained directly by Dr. Bruno Chikly, the founder of Lymph Drainage Therapy, Josh uses exact anatomical mapping and refined listening touch to locate areas of congestion, redirect lymphatic stagnation, and restore balance in the tissues, fascia, and interstitial spaces.

This session also integrates elements of:

Upledger craniosacral therapy for nervous system quieting
Heart-Centered Therapy for emotional softening and release
Fascial and diaphragmatic techniques to open primary lymph pathways
Organ and visceral rhythm work when needed

The experience is calming, rhythmic, and profoundly therapeutic — helping your body let go of inflammation patterns that traditional massage, stretching, or exercise cannot resolve.

Clients choose Advanced Lymphatic Therapy when they want to:
reduce swelling or inflammation
recover from injury or chronic pain
support lymphatic detoxification (including GLP-1 clients)
improve immune function
calm nervous system overload
release deep, subtle tension patterns
enhance post-surgical healing (when appropriate)
feel lighter, clearer, and more regulated

Lymphatic Resilience Protocol™

A Neuro-Lymphatic Reset for the Head, Neck, and Face

The lymphatic system is the body’s quiet intelligence — responsible for drainage, immune signaling, and tissue health — yet it is one of the most commonly neglected systems in modern care.

The Lymphatic Facial is a slow, precise, and deeply regulating session designed to restore natural lymph flow through the head, neck, and face while gently shifting the nervous system out of chronic stress and into repair.

This work is not about force, sculpting, or cosmetic manipulation.
It is about creating space, clearing congestion, and allowing the body to do what it already knows how to do.

Using feather-light, anatomically sequenced techniques, we first open the primary lymphatic drainage pathways of the neck and clavicular region. From there, the face is approached methodically — jaw, cheeks, eyes, and forehead — always working in the direction of healthy flow, never against it. The session concludes with gentle cranial and vagal integration to help the nervous system settle and the effects stabilize.

Clients often notice:

A visible reduction in facial puffiness or swelling

Softer jaw tension and easier breathing

Clearer eyes and facial definition

A profound sense of calm and mental clarity

Improved sleep and reduced head or neck tension later that day

This session is especially supportive for those experiencing high stress, jaw clenching, sinus congestion, hormonal shifts, frequent travel, or a sense of carrying tension “in the head.”

The Lymphatic Facial is both subtle and powerful.
It does not force change — it invites regulation.

Many clients describe it as feeling “lighter,” “clearer,” or “like their system finally exhaled.”

This is not a facial meant to stimulate.
It is a reset designed to restore.

The Lymphatic Facial

A clinical lymphatic and nervous system session for the chest, breast tissue, axilla, neck, and diaphragm

The thoracic region is a primary crossroads of the lymphatic and nervous systems. It is where breath, posture, circulation, and emotional regulation intersect — and where congestion, restriction, and stress often accumulate silently over time.

The Thoracic Lymphatic Reset is a slow, precise session designed to restore healthy lymphatic flow through the chest, axilla, neck, and diaphragm while gently supporting nervous system regulation. This work is clinical, intentional, and guided by anatomy — not sensation or force.

Using feather-light, methodical techniques, we begin by opening the primary lymphatic drainage pathways at the neck and clavicular region. From there, the chest wall and axillary pathways are addressed to reduce congestion and restore fluid movement. When appropriate and with explicit consent, breast tissue may be included as part of lymphatic drainage support. The session concludes with diaphragm and breath-focused integration to help stabilize the effects and reinforce parasympathetic tone.

This work is not massage in the traditional sense.
It does not aim to stimulate, mobilize aggressively, or manipulate tissue.

Instead, it creates the conditions for the body to regulate itself.

Clients often report:

A sense of lightness or ease in the chest

Improved breathing depth and comfort

Reduced swelling or tenderness

A feeling of calm, grounding, and internal space

Subtle but lasting changes in posture and nervous system state

This session is especially supportive for individuals experiencing stress-related chest tension, postural collapse, shallow breathing, hormonal or cyclical congestion, post-surgical lymphatic challenges, or a sense of holding stress in the upper body.

The Thoracic Lymphatic Reset is quiet, respectful, and deeply restorative.
It is designed to support function, not force change — and to restore flow where the body has learned to hold.

Thoracic Lymphatic Reset

This session blends the original Upledger craniosacral method with modern nervous-system science to create a deeply restorative experience unlike any other.

Using gentle, listening touch, Josh works with the body’s cranial rhythm, dural tube, and fascial membranes to release tension patterns that traditional massage cannot reach. Clients often experience profound quieting, emotional softening, clearer breath, and a deep sense of inner spaciousness.

Josh trained directly under Dr. John Upledger D.O. and his wife Lisa Upledger D.C. — receiving personal instruction from the founders of the work. This lineage gives his craniosacral therapy uncommon precision, intuition, and depth.

This session is ideal for:

chronic tension
jaw pain & headaches
stress overload
trauma-pattern unwinding
sleep and emotional regulation
anyone seeking deep stillness and nervous system reset

This is not massage.
This is a reorganization of the body’s inner rhythm.

The Neural Stillpoint™

Somatic Integration Therapy™ is based on Somatoemotional Release (SER) and is an advanced therapeutic process developed by Dr. John Upledger that helps the body release the emotional imprints, protective tension patterns, and unresolved experiences that often become embedded in the tissues. These patterns can contribute to chronic pain, anxiety, overwhelm, restricted movement, and a sense of being “stuck” in the body.

Using gentle, precise touch and supportive dialogue, the practitioner listens to the body’s inner cues — following subtle shifts in tissue, breath, fluid, and cranial rhythm to identify where emotion, memory, or protective holding is stored. As the body opens and feels safe, these patterns can soften, unwind, and integrate.

SER is not talk therapy and not emotion “processing.”
It is a somatic release process that allows the body to complete what was interrupted — restoring clarity, ease, and coherence through the entire system.

Clients often experience:
release of chronic tension or pain
emotional ease or spaciousness
improved breath and mobility
relief from patterns they couldn’t “think” their way out of
a deeper sense of presence and self-connection
surprising clarity or insights that arise naturally
profound calm in the nervous system

SER is gentle, respectful, and client-led.
Your body determines the pace; the practitioner simply listens and supports what wants to unfold.

Somatic Integration Therapy™

A Personalized Nutrition Strategy Engineered for Strength, Fat Loss, and Long-Term Sustainability

The Metabolic Blueprint™ is a high-level, 60-minute nutrition strategy session where we reverse-engineer your physiology, goals, lifestyle, and training demands into a clear, personalized metabolic plan.

This isn’t calorie guessing.
This isn’t generic macro coaching.
This is a clinical, data-informed, identity-aligned fuel strategy designed specifically for YOUR body.

Using your intake patterns, body composition goals, GLP-1 considerations (if applicable), recovery needs, and real-world lifestyle constraints, we build a tailored blueprint that tells you:

how much to eat
what balance of macros supports your goals
how to fuel training days vs rest days
how to adjust when your progress stalls
how to build meals without obsessing over measurements
how to stop relying on willpower and use structure instead

The result is a nutrition plan that feels clear, sustainable, and completely personal — a roadmap engineered for your success, not a one-size-fits-all template.

This session includes:
✔ Metabolic Assessment
Your lifestyle, training load, stress, sleep, hunger cues, GLP-1 dynamics, and recovery needs.

✔ Custom Macro Formula
Protein, fats, and carbs mapped to your training, goals, and energy cycles.

✔ Training Day vs Rest Day Fuel Plan
Fueling patterns that support muscle, fat loss, performance, and metabolic health.

✔ Meal Structure + Plate Templates
Simple, repeatable frameworks for building meals without overwhelm.

✔ Habits, Anchors, & Execution Strategy
Morning/midday/evening nutritional anchors designed to make the plan stick effortlessly.

✔ Your Metabolic Blueprint™ PDF (optional add-on)
A polished, personalized guide you can reference daily (this is a revenue-boosting upsell).

Whether you’re on a GLP-1 medication, rebuilding your metabolism after chronic dieting, training for strength, or simply wanting to finally feel in control of your nutrition, this session gives you clarity, direction, and momentum.

You’ll walk away knowing EXACTLY how to eat for your goals.

──────────────────────────

⭐ IDEAL FOR:

GLP-1 clients needing a strength-focused fuel strategy
Anyone confused about macros or calorie targets
People stuck in the cycle of dieting → quitting → restarting
Athletes who want smarter fueling
Clients wanting sustainable fat loss without burnout
Busy adults who need simplicity, not complexity
Anyone who wants clear direction based on their physiology

The Metabolic Blueprint

Your 30-minute strategic follow-up to refine, adapt, and accelerate your blueprint.

The Metabolic Momentum Session™ is a focused, 30-minute strategic check-in designed to keep your Blueprint on track and adjust your fuel plan as your body adapts, your goals shift, and your progress evolves.

This is not accountability coaching.
This is precision refinement.

In this session we:

--Review your progress trends (energy, hunger, satiety, training performance, GLP-1 response)
--Identify friction points or breakdowns in the plan
--Adjust macros, portions, or meal structures as needed
--Fine-tune training day vs rest day fuel balance
--Optimize habit anchors and morning/midday/evening routines
--Strengthen weekly execution patterns
--Remove noise, confusion, or overwhelm
--Reinforce what’s working — and upgrade what’s not

Think of it as a 30-minute recalibration that keeps your metabolic strategy clean, focused, and effective.

Clients leave knowing:

--exactly what to adjust
--what to double down on
--how to get past plateaus
--how to sustain momentum with confidence

Most people don’t fall off because they lack information.
They fall off because they lack strategic recalibration.
This session provides it.

An Intimate Evening of Connection, Presence, and Devotional Touch for Couples

Valentine’s Day doesn’t need more performance.
It needs presence.

The Bliss Ritual Valentine’s Event is a refined, in-person couples experience designed to slow you down, bring you back into your bodies, and reconnect you through intentional breath, attuned touch, and grounded sensuality.

This is not a massage class.
It is not therapy.
It is not explicit.

It is a guided ritual — a sacred pause from distraction and routine — where couples are taught how to create safety, awaken sensation, and experience intimacy as something calm, nourishing, and deeply connective.

Throughout the evening, you and your partner will be gently guided through:

Breath and nervous-system regulation to arrive fully together

Simple connection rituals that dissolve tension and defensiveness

Structured, fully clothed touch practices that cultivate trust, warmth, and presence

A slow, sensual flow designed to awaken intimacy without pressure or performance

A closing devotion practice that integrates the experience and anchors it into your relationship

The container is small, intentional, and private, allowing for depth, safety, and ease.
You will never be put on the spot.
Nothing is forced.
Every practice is invitational, respectful, and grounded.

This evening is for couples who want more than a dinner reservation — who are ready to reconnect in a way that feels meaningful, embodied, and real.

You will leave feeling:

closer
calmer
more attuned
more affectionate
more connected to yourself and to each other

And most importantly, you’ll leave with a ritual you can return to — a practice that reminds you how intimacy feels when it’s slow, intentional, and alive.

Capacity is intentionally limited to preserve the integrity of the experience.

This is an invitation to step out of routine…
and into connection.
