The Massage Therapy Network

Spencer has 30 years of experience in martial arts, specializing in helping individuals develop habits that significantly enhance balance, relaxation, stability, and power. By integrating principles of the mind and body, Spencer's methods are applicable to any physical discipline. His martial arts journey began with traditional styles before transitioning to modern combat sports. Eventually, a chance encounter with an exceptional teacher reignited his passion for traditional martial arts, bringing his practice full circle. For the past 15 years, Spencer has focused primarily on internal martial arts, applying techniques to foster mental clarity and generate effortless power through optimized structure and economized movements. He provides practical tools to help individuals build sustainable habits that promote overall well-being and cultivate a centered, mindful approach to life.

Massage therapy is his passion. He believes RMTs are uniquely positioned to provide high-value care for those living with musculoskeletal pain. Whether structurally focused, fascially oriented, or integrating craniovisceral techniques, there is room for everyone at the table. The real question is: Are we ready to update our story?
