Brandon Pakeman - Registered Massage Therapist

Hello, my name is Brandon Pakeman. I started this wellness clinic with the intention of providing a no-rush environment that allows for more personalized, patient-centered care and wellness. I've worked extensively with individuals seeking pain management for lower back pain, stress relief, posture improvement, recovery from athletic or fitness lifestyles, headache reduction, and alleviating chronic tension and joint pain. I also have experience assisting those recovering from motor vehicle accidents. My favorite part of the job is connecting the dots, exploring the relationship between daily habits and pain, and offering a respite from the daily stresses of life.
