Our Therapists

Bruce F. Common, LMT

Owner, 12th Avenue Massage Therapy Group

 

Bruce graduated from Florida's Therapeutic Massage School in 1992. Over the course of his more than 20 years of experience, he has frequently worked with physicians, chiropractors, and physical therapists to provide clients with a continuum of care, focusing on treating those who have unresolved muscle pain and stiffness due to injury, genetics, or poor posture. His clients have included athletes as well as those affected with just about every muscle injury imaginable. Bruce's depth of experience and clinical understanding of posture and muscle pain patterns allows him to provide clients with an unmatched level of service.

 

Bruce's goal is to clinically identify the root cause of muscle pain and dysfunction and then work with the client to develop a personalized care plan, incorporating therapeutic or structural massage and self-care techniques. Bruce takes the time to explain how muscle pain is connected to posture and other factors and to demonstrate movements and stretches, which clients can use to help maintain treatment and manage pain.
