Your Path from Feeling "Old and Achy" to Vibrant Wellbeing
At Asheville Medical Massage, over 80 years of combined experience helping clients get back to doing what they love has led us to a few core philosophies about how you can achieve your best health as you age:
Recognize Your Potential
Most body pains and other common problems in the 2nd half of life- such as declining energy, mobility, physical capacity, confidence and passion- are unnecessary and can be resolved if you focus on finding and creating solutions.
Be Honest with Yourself
If you're afraid your age, health history or current condition will stop you from overcoming pains and living a more passionate, creative and vibrant life, look more deeply at your lifestyle and hidden imbalances as the root causes.
Commit to Your Potential
Getting older can, and should, be fun. But if you’re over 45 and falling victim to the myth that “Getting old sucks”, make the decision to take charge of your health the highest level so you can age with grace, joy, confidence and beauty.
Learn, Grow, Get Support
The solutions you need are often simple, though not always easy: Be willing to grow, learn new self-care skills and surround yourself with the right support to help you identify overlooked problems and change key habits.
What Clients Are Saying
Pain Relief
"I was injured and had the very best orthos and PT in California but even after surgery I continued to have pain that they could not figure out. I moved here and in only four weeks under Zach's care I have experienced amazing improvement, remarkably less pain, and renewed hope. Zach is respectful, thoughtful, well educated, passionate and genuinely cares about his patients."
Sandy Scott, Age 67
Confidence
"I used to think that pain was just a part of getting older. Now, not only am I no longer grouchy and tired at the end of the day from pain, I feel empowered to do something about how I feel. I understand my body more, move more fluidly than I have in years and no longer live in pain. I feel stronger, more attractive and empowered and much more confident in my body."
Emily McDaniel, Age 37
Vitality
"Lower back pain brought me almost to a complete stop of physical activity. Zach helped me rebuild my posture and learn what it feels like to align my body when I am exercising, walking and standing. I'm back to training at 100% with no restrictions. To say Zach has helped me is an understatement... He empowered me. My only regret was that I didn’t see him sooner!"
Will Gay, Age 50
