Medical Massage & Holistic Pain Relief Therapist
Bahman Djalali, PhD(c), HHP, NKT, CMT combines deep tissue, neuromuscular work, CranioSacral therapy, and myofascial release to help clients move with less pain and more ease. Sessions are personalized and results-focused, aiming to treat the source of pain — not just the symptoms.
“Coming to Bahman has made a huge difference in my neck and back pain. He's very knowledgeable and gives great recommendations for stretches and yoga outside of treatment.”
“I came in desperate with severe lower back pain and could barely walk. Medical massage, cupping, and gentle manual adjustments relieved the pain almost immediately.”
“Beyond a traditional massage — truly therapeutic and transformative. Each session feels personalized, intentional, and deeply healing.”
“He explains my issue and gives detailed instructions to self-treat in tandem with his treatments. It's working.”
