John Williams has been a lifelong resident in the Hershey, PA area and began his career in emergency medicine in 1992. After 13 years of service as an Emergency Medical Technician John felt it was time to take a new path in the healthcare profession and became a certified massage therapist. It was then he knew that he could do more than what he had learned at school.
John Combined his medical knowledge and his massage therapy practice with his desire for helping people live a “better quality of life”. In 2005 John heard of Myofascial Release Treatment. He pursued training in Myofascial Release, learning from the leading authority in the world. He now has the leading Myofascial Release Treatment Center in the Central PA Region and is exclusively a practitioner of this modality. Taking a combination of the three fields John has developed some of his own techniques to help address his patient’s specific areas of concern.
Because of John’s unique way of treating people who suffer from chronic pain, acute injuries, and inflexibility he is changing lives. He addresses the patient’s issues and helps them work through them to achieve peak performance, prevent injury and live a better quality of life.
John is continuing to expand his knowledge and expertise by attending seminars and conferences in the medical and massage industry. John has an internet radio show on the Blog Talk Radio Network, Pain Free Tips Radio and has become a nationally proclaimed expert in his field.
