Shift Relief
Massage Therapy for Hospitality and Healthcare Workers
Neuromuscular work aimed at the back, hip, leg or foot tension left behind by 12-hour shifts on hard floors
Neuromuscular work aimed at the back, hip, leg or foot tension left behind by 12-hour shifts on hard floors
Neuromuscular and trigger point work where the strain builds up
Same calm room every visit, near the hotels and hospitals
Almost twelve years in Orlando banquets and hotel kitchens
I see clients at my office at 7345 W Sand Lake Rd in Orlando, FL, in the Dr. Phillips area. It's a calm, dedicated treatment room with a consistent setup each time, so you can settle in quickly before or after a shift.
Nearby are Restaurant Row along Sand Lake Road, International Drive, Bay Hill, Williamsburg and the Universal area, close to the resort, convention and hospital corridors that keep Orlando running.
Changes that show up at work, at home and during your free hours
I'm a Licensed Massage Therapist in Florida, board certified through the NCBTMB and certified in Neuromuscular Therapy.
I work with hospitality and healthcare workers whose backs, hips, legs and feet carry the weight of long days. Before this, I spent almost twelve years as a banquet server and then managing a hotel kitchen, hurting daily and sleeping four or five hours a night. A therapist doing real neuromuscular work got me sleeping again. Now I want to give my old coworkers that same care.
A free consult, a longer first visit, single sessions as needed, or a six-week series with split payments
A short, no-cost visit to the studio where you hear about their shifts, where they feel tension and what they'd like to get back to. It's also a chance for them to see the room and decide if you're a good fit.
Book NowAbout 15 minutes to talk through their work, sleep and the places that bother them most, followed by a full 60 minutes of hands-on work. They'll leave with a clear idea of what regular sessions with you would look like.
Book NowFocused, hands-on work for the lower back, hips, legs and feet, using neuromuscular techniques and pressure adjusted to what feels right that day.
Book NowBuilt around your goal of getting through long shifts on your feet with less tension in your lower back, hips, legs and feet: six 60-minute sessions, one a week for six weeks. Stages: talk-through and first session in week 1, a check-in at session 3 to adjust the plan, and a review together at session 6.
You book and pay securely through my booking system by card. Your card is kept on file when you book and charged after your session.
Pay in full when you book for $684, which saves you $36 off the regular $720 price. This covers all six weekly sessions and is charged to your card on file through my booking app.
I ask for at least 12 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule, so I can offer your time to someone else. Your first late cancellation is always forgiven, and if you're ill or facing a real emergency, just let me know and we'll find a new time.
If you're running late, please message me and I'll do my best to fit in your full session. If I can't, we'll work within the time that's left, and I'll only charge for the time we use the first time it happens.
If you miss your appointment without contacting me, I'll charge 50% of the session price to your card on file. Your first missed appointment is forgiven, and if something serious kept you away, please tell me and we'll sort it out.
Your card is charged after your session, so there's nothing to refund beforehand. If you're not happy with your session, tell me within a few days, and I'll work with you to make it right, which may include a refund or a complimentary adjustment.
If you need to stop partway through the Shift Relief Program, I'll refund the sessions you haven't used, calculated at the package rate of $120 per session. If illness, injury or a work change gets in the way, we can also pause the program and pick it up again when you're ready.
I've been on my feet overnight for nine years and figured the lower back pain just came with the job. After a few sessions with Rick, I'm not limping out to my car at 7am anymore. The biggest surprise was my sleep. I actually stay asleep after a shift now. He listens, he remembers what hurt last time, and he never rushes you.
Twelve-hour nights left my hips and hamstrings so tight I couldn't sit through a movie. Rick found trigger points I didn't know I had and showed me two stretches I can do on my break. I book every three weeks now. It's the one appointment I never cancel. He gets what shift work does to your body.
