About Ed Mikesell Information about Licensed Massage Therapist Ed Mikesell.

My mission as a massage therapist is to help people to take time out of their busy lives and focus on their health and well being through therapeutic massage. Whether you need to simply relax, or have a specific medical issue such as back pain, headaches, hip pain, leg pain, sciatic nerve pain, tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome, massage therapy can help bring relief.

I graduated from the S.H.I. School of Medical Massage School and received my license from The State Medical Board of Ohio in 1999. I also graduated from The University of Cincinnati 1994 with a degree Humanities.

During your massage session I use Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and other massage modalities. Your massage will use these modalities seamlessly blended into a session specifically tailored to your relaxation or therapeutic needs. I also perform hot stone massage either for a full session or as a 20 min. add-on feature.

I have been a musician (bassist) for many years and believe that this has helped shape my view of medical massage as an art form. I feel the touch sensitivity developed through playing music has helped me develop an acute sensitivity to muscle tightness and restriction. I view massage as a dynamic organism and not just a rote collection of modalities. I will check in with you each session and if necessary modify the massage depending on any current issues you are having.

My quiet and comfortable office is located in Blue Ash, Ohio and is easily accessible from many parts of the Cincinnati area. I look forward to helping you meet your health and relaxation needs.
