Benjamin Howard, LMP 

     I was born and raised in the Puget Sound region and live in the North End with my wife Ember and three amazing boys.  I've been practicing massage in the medical setting since 2001, working in cooperation with physical therapists, chiropractors as well as medical/naturopathic physicians around Tacoma.  Over the last decade I've continued his education in massage treatment methods with areas of focus in therapeutic massage work such as, injury treatment, Deep tissue, NMT, Trigger Point therapy, Thai yoga massage and sports massage.

     I was first introduced to massage at age 15 after a motor vehicle accident that resulted in severe whiplash, eventually leaving me with chronic pain and frequent migraine headaches.  It was my chiropractor who referred me to a skilled massage therapist who not only help healed my injuries, but led me to the beginning of a new career.  Having experienced this profound experience with my health and body, it sparked a desire to educate myself in the anatomy and physiology of the human body.  I finds the physical science of massage so natural and basic, it not only offers relief from pain but also opens pathways to a whole health lifestyle.  I enjoys treating a wide range of conditions and specialize in neck and shoulder pain, low back pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, sports related injury, as well as pregnancy massage.

In my spare time, you may find me heading outdoors with my boys, ages 9, 7, and 4 year old.  The action never stops while the sun is up, but being a father is by far my proudest and most challenging of life's accomplishments.  I've also renovated three houses with my artist wife.

     I am also currently accepting all major insurance carriers, including Regence, Premera, First Choice, Cigna, Etc...
