Meet Greg Nelson, LMT

My name is Greg Nelson, and I am a Licensed Massage Therapist here in Austin, TX. I have been practicing and developing my deep-tissue massage skills since 2018. In August of 2023, I shut down my previous business and moved my wife and three young children cross-country here to Texas. Together, we studiously re-established our new business, Deeply Therapeutic, LLC from the ground up. I specialize in deep, deep tissue therapy that I have found is a great need in the massage field, and a difficult find even for myself. This has propelled me to become the therapist for others that I need and want for myself. My focus in bodywork starts with identifying the shortened (tight), or atrophied muscles. I begin by relaxing the area(s) of concern, and then move forward using a variety of approaches and techniques to then release the short muscles and trigger points. I’ll look at the opposing muscle groups (antagonist muscles) and depending on what they need, I’ll use myofascial release to create space or crossfiber to tone the weak muscles. I work different techniques depending on the client's goals and preferences. My work ranges from a light touch such as effleurage to sooth and relax, all the way to the pressure that penetrates deeply into the muscles to loosen and stimulate them. I’ll then implement pin and stretch, contract and relax, active stretch and pressure point holds to lengthen determined muscles. The main purpose of this work is to offer freedom from pain by bringing the body into homeostasis and balance. My passion for this work stems from my own personal experience with chronic pain and tightness, causing many issues such as limited range of motion and dysfunction. I’m constantly learning and growing in my understanding of the musculoskeletal system, in order to help myself and others live a life free of constant pain, fix poor posture, and stimulate weak muscles so that they engage properly and produce proper movement and functionality, reducing accidents in every-day strenuous activities. The constant journey in this body in day to day life keeps me learning new strategies and techniques to pass on to my clients. This approach to bodywork provides enhancements in functional movement patterns so you can continue living without constant pain and to enjoy the activities that keep life fun. In addition to my massage practices, I also employ the use of a NeuFit Neubie device, an FDA approved class 2 medical device that that sends electric signals to the body to stimulate muscles and re-educate/re-engage weak/atrophied muscles. I work with this device to promote accelerated healing, restored function, and optimized performance. I also implement another FDA approved, class-2 medical device called BEMER (Bio-electric magnetic energy regulation). This device coupled with deep tissue therapy creates the ultimate potential of proper blood flow through micro circulation, therefore, true healing from the cells.
