Hey, I’m Vincent.
I’m a licensed massage therapist, Level 3 CHEK Practitioner, and educator with over 25 years of bodywork experience. I specialize in orthopedic sports massage, deep tissue, neuromuscular therapy (NMT), and myofascial release, combining these modalities with a dynamic understanding of functional anatomy, exercise, and kinesiology for a truly integrative approach to healing. I’m passionate about helping clients achieve lasting relief, improved movement, and better performance through personalized, results-driven care.
My Approach
My work goes beyond relaxation to target the underlying issues behind pain and movement limitations. I listen carefully to understand each client’s unique challenges and apply targeted techniques to create lasting change. Each session is designed to relieve tension, restore functional movement, and support long-term resilience, delivering results that extend beyond temporary relief.

Your first visit at Chattanooga Sports Massage begins with a detailed intake process, where you’ll provide information about your medical history, current pain or injury, and treatment goals. We’ll then discuss your specific needs and what you hope to achieve from the session.
During the massage, your comfort will dictate your clothing options. You’re welcome to stay fully dressed or undress to your level of comfort, depending on the techniques we use and what feels best for you. I’ll communicate with you throughout the session to ensure the pressure and techniques are appropriate for your body and your needs.
We’ll also discuss self-care strategies to help you continue managing your pain or injury between sessions. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered as you begin your treatment.
