Steve Schroeder LMP
Massage Therapist
Steve graduated from West Olympia's Body Mechanics School of Myotherapy and Massage in 2006. Early on, his practice consisted primarily of performing on-site chair massages for State employees until acquiring insurance credentials allowed him to focus more on clinical injury treatment. He believes there is frequently more to massage than can be articulated in a brief biography, but essentially it is a sacred form of dance between giver and receiver, where the work he performs represents the physical manifestation of his prayer for the Holistic well-being of his clients.
