I have always had a willingness to help people and found that helping people recover and prevent physical pain was my passion. I have personally experienced many injuries through my years of competitive sports including wrestling, mixed martial arts, and rugby and have experienced the benefits of bodywork firsthand.
Kinesio Taping
Report
Kinesio Taping is spreading around the world. I am really pleased that we can help so many people in so many places to live better lives. Dr. Kenzo Kase, Founder of Kinesio Taping. Kinesio Tape, also called Kinesio Tex Tape is the original elastic adhesive tape developed in 1979 by Dr. Kenzo Kase. Kinesio tape is latex free, hypoallergenic, and wearable for days, often 3 to 5 days, but I have seen it work for patients for longer than a week.
Sports Massage
Report
Sports and Orthopedic Massage have similar techniques but differ in the objective of the session. This will include and begin with a complimentary consultation to see where you are at in that moment to be able to create a custom treatment plan for your individual needs. Sports massage will depend on whether the athlete is in the pre-performance, maintenance, or rehabilitative stage and will be customized to that individual and their sport.
Therapeutic Bodywork
Report
Orthopedic Massage and Therapeutic Bodywork techniques focus on an individual's joints, muscle tension, fascial restrictions, and joint range of motion. It is a unique approach using a combination of techniques with the goal of restoring structural balance and proper biomechanics.
Improved range of motion helps you maintain better structural integrity reducing the amount of energy your muscles need to work, increases the flow of oxygen through clearer pathways, helps prevent overuse injuries from repetitive movements, and relieves tension off of areas that have been compensating or overworking.

Report
They are similar in that both practitioner styles are used to manipulate their client's soft tissue through physical touch, but the goals tend to differ. Massage Therapists put a greater emphasis on stress reduction and overall relaxation, while Therapeutic Bodywork focuses more on pain relief, functionality, and working towards the ideal posture to create better balance throughout the body.

Oncology safe!!!
Ben has been really great about working with my oncological team to tailor a massage that aids my mobility and is helpful in my pain management. Each session we work on something different.
Ben has even researched parts of my disease, to enter inform himself as to what would and wouldn't be helpful. He's a great massage therapist to develop a long-term relationship with, because he works hard to learn the issues that bring you to him, and work towards a long term resolution.
The building is ADA accessible and has an elevator, so it's easy to get in and out.

Ben has been our trusted family body/muscle/joint/injury/massage therapist for a few years now. His deep knowledge of the skeletal/muscular/nervous complex is unmatched. He accurately pinpoints the issue, and unleashes its remedy. Whether it’s my F3 boot-camp bruises, teenage sons’ gymnastics and lacrosse aches, or my fitness instructor wife’s strains….Ben is our man.

Ben is the best! He is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly prioritizes his clients and their needs. His style is a combination of PT, stretching and sports massage—I felt relief almost immediately! He really takes the time to not only hear what’s hurting or needing attention, but to also offer insights and advice along with treatment. He genuinely cares about his clients and always suggests new exercises to help between appointments. So glad I found him!

Ben provided results the first time!! Following a lengthy jiujitsu training, I felt extremely tight around my shoulders and neck. Even unable to raise my right arm without shrugging due to pain. After Ben meticulously moved and massaged my painful areas, I felt a great deal of relief and noticeably wider range of movement. Specifically in the right shoulder and neck. I’m looking forward to continued care, thank you.

This was the best therapy/massage that I have experienced. Previously I have left feeling just relaxed and feeling good. This was a completely a different experience. Ben is a true, experienced at helping you with your pain and issue. He taught and gave me so much knowledge to help myself as well. It is his true intention to help you and make sure you have a future outlook on how and what needs to be done to look forward to getting rid of your pain! Amazing knowledge and excellent customer service I will be back weekly.
I now have hope I have found someone who understands!!! Thank you so very

So I've been having problems with my entire body and just tension and restricted movement for quite some time now. Having major surgery in November actually made it all the worst having to stay in bed for nearly two to three months. And then Covid hit...um, Let's just bypass that entire conversation.
I have been craving specialist who can really dig in deep without the high pain and relieve that tension for good. Not just a quick fix. I had a really good chiropractor before my surgery that I loved but, the pain, of course, always comes back.
Found Ben Monday via Yelp and continued researching

I was in town for business and was able to book the same week. He is normally out of town on weekends working on athletes .
Excellent therapist.
Ben is very skilled. He incorporates ART, NKT, cupping and fascia release.
I came crooked and left straight.
Worth the cost!
If you're looking for a relaxing massage, this isn't it.
If you have issues with your muscles ...he's the guy:-)

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ben Smith at Bodysmith - I met him at Salsa in Hawaii event.
Some history - I have a lower back injury from long ago that comes back every now and then. It can be debilitating - if I let it get out of hand, I can barely walk for a day or two.
It began flaring up again from all the practicing and dancing so I went to see Ben for a 30 minute session.
Seriously, I was flabbergasted. He was able to relieve a lot of the tension in half an hour compared to what would take me a week.
BEN has an expert eye and was able to identify and hone in on my problem areas and fix it.
