Michael A Evans, LMT – Meet the Team at Massage LI

Meet Michael A Evans:

A Journey Through Massage, Coaching, & Martial Arts

Nestled in the vibrant community of Patchogue, Massage LI emerges as a sanctuary of healing, where the art of massage is elevated to a holistic experience. At the helm of this transformative journey is Michael A Evans, a licensed massage therapist whose unique melding of diverse disciplines paints a picture of relaxation unlike any other. His journey from martial arts to the nuanced realms of massage therapy and coaching embodies a holistic approach to well-being that resonates deeply with those he treats.

A Harmonious Balance: Martial Arts and Massage

Michael’s foray into the world of healing began under the tutelage of his martial arts mentor, Moises Arocho. Embracing the philosophy that martial arts training is a pathway to understanding and fostering peace, he sought to balance his capability to cause harm with the profound ability to heal. This journey led him to the art of massage therapy, where he found a beautiful symmetry between the two disciplines. In his practice, the fluidity and balance honed through martial arts translate into massage techniques that are both effective and respectful of the body’s limits.

Michael’s approach to massage is reminiscent of martial arts principles such as flow and blending. He believes that, much like a martial arts encounter, a massage session should maintain a rhythm and connection, avoiding any jarring breaks in contact or discomfort. This smooth transition in techniques ensures a seamless experience, where the client is lulled into a state of profound relaxation, akin to the peaceful experience of a well-executed martial dance.

Worldview Expansion: Insights from Turkiye

A pivotal year spent in Turkiye as a high school exchange student during the first Gulf War provided Michael with a unique perspective on human relations and empathy. Living in a culture that at times held opposing views to his native country, he learned valuable lessons in understanding, respect, and the sanctity of guest rights. Regardless of national beliefs, the individual Turks adopted Michael as their own and ensured his acceptance and well-being during turbulent times. These experiences now permeate his massage therapy practice, where he views each client as a unique individual with their own stories and needs. In his treatment room, everyone is a guest deserving the highest degree of care and consideration, an approach that has become a cornerstone of his practice.

Creating a Sanctuary: The Hammam Experience

Michael’s description of the best massage he ever received, in a hammam (Turkish Bath) in Antalya, Turkiye, speaks volumes about the experiences he strives to create at Massage LI. The combination of a warm, sauna-like atmosphere and a deeply relaxing massage on a heated Belly Stone left an indelible mark on his approach. While the grandeur of a traditional hammam may not be replicable, the principles of warmth, deep attention to comfort, and a massage that reaches ‘to the bone’ without causing discomfort are integral to his practice. This philosophy is evident in the heated tables at Massage LI, the use of warmed oils for a soothing touch, and techniques that respect the client’s comfort levels.

Empathy and Understanding: The Coaching Connection

As a certified life and business coach, Michael brings an additional layer of understanding to his massage practice. He recognizes that success, be it in personal goals or overcoming physical ailments, is a journey that the individual must embark on themselves.

Michael says, “When we discover why a client is facing a roadblock, or why a particular goal is important, we can make powerful moves to advance our cause that might not have been immediately obvious before shifting or broadening our perspective. In the same way, I look at a patient’s goals and pains in a way that helps discover the “why”. Why does it hurt? Why do you need to relax? What is causing your dysfunction? Answering questions like these lets me tailor a massage experience in a way that can help each person who experiences my hands find a better, more life-impacting state of wellness. The patient still has work to do toward their own betterment, but I can help speed the process.”

His role as a therapist is to facilitate this journey, uncovering the roots of their challenges and aspirations. This approach allows him to tailor each massage session to not only address physical discomfort but also to support the client’s overall well-being and goals.

Respecting Individuality: A Personalized Approach

Each session with Michael is a testament to his belief in personalized care. He understands that each client brings their own story, preferences, and needs to the massage table. As such, every aspect of the massage, from the pressure applied to the ambiance in the room, is customized to align with the client’s desires. This commitment to individualized treatment ensures that clients at Massage LI receive not just a massage, but an experience that is uniquely theirs.

Continuous Learning: A Journey of Growth

Michael’s dedication to his craft is matched by his commitment to continual growth and learning. In the ever-evolving field of massage therapy, he stays abreast of new techniques and modalities, ensuring that his practice remains at the forefront of therapeutic innovation. This pursuit of knowledge is not just for his own development but is a commitment to providing his clients with the best possible care.

His unique blend of skills and experiences ensures a therapy session that goes beyond mere physical relief.

In conclusion, a session with Michael A Evans at Massage LI in Patchogue offers more than just massage therapy; it offers a journey toward balance, understanding, and rejuvenation.
