About the Therapist - Josh Bart

I believe that the environmental factors in our daily lives affect the way our bodies respond and adapt, manifesting stress that can compound our physical aches and pains. We ask a lot from our bodies, bombarding them with physical challenges and then adding the stressful conditions of modern life.

My diverse clinical training and ongoing continuing education has prepared me to help people with many kinds of physical problems. I have gained specific experience in acute pain, stress, or chronic problems like fibromyalgia

I specialize in Myofascial Release, Swedish Massage and Deep Tissue for relaxation, enhanced sports performance, and rehabilitation from injury. I graduated from Potomac Massage Training Institute and am a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA).   I am licensed to practice in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. I am certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). I have been certified as a Hot Stone practitioner,  Usui Reiki Master/Teacher and Sekhem-Seichim Reiki II practitioner.
