Professional Massage Therapy in Alpharetta GA

About Me

imageMy name is John F. Lia.  I have been a Nationally Boarded Clinical Massage Therapist for almost 20 years. I recently relocated to Alpharetta, Georgia. I have been a caregiver for more than 25 years in various roles as a Radiologic Technologist.  As a technologist, I interacted with many patients suffering from preventable injuries and chronic pain daily, and I decided to be proactive in improving the quality of life.  My path led me to expand my professional interest to include clinical massage therapy. Clinical massage therapy describes the applications of massage techniques for treating human conditions and pathology. Clinical massage therapy has been used to treat human ailments since ancient times and is currently being integrated into several medical settings as a complementary therapy. 

I graduated from the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy in Westport, Connecticut. I am certified by the New York State Department of Education as a Licensed Massage Therapist (L.M.T.), Certified by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB), and achieved National Board Certification (BCTMB). I am also an active member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). 

My approach to massage is an integrated technique that includes Medical/Rehabilitative (Clinical) massage, Swedish Massage, Sports Massage, Deep Tissue, Advanced Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy (Trigger Point), Reciprocal Inhibition, proprioceptive Neuro Facilitation (PNF), Acupressure, Manual Lymph Drainage, Reflexology, Orthopedic Massage, Visceral Manipulation and Leon Chaitow, ND, DO, Positional Release technique.
