About Nicholas Bodywork - Myofascial Release

Nicholas (he/him) aims to create a session for the individual with education and practice rooted in myofascial, neuromuscular, and craniosacral bodywork. 

In all cases, Nicholas honors the Central Nervous System as the gatekeeper and seeks to provide a relaxing therapeutic treatment. He has experience working with athletes and also treats clients with all backgrounds and activity levels. Nicholas embraces meeting the client where they are when they come through the door.

A session may involve some participatory movement in order to address deep restriction and adhesion more effectively and increase our proprioceptive and interoceptive awareness. These techniques can be helpful in times of pain or stress when we may consciously or unconsciously try to dissociate our mind-body connection.

Nicholas is pursuing second level certification in Advanced Myofascial Techniques from Til Luchau's Advanced Trainings. He has certifications and education in treating TMJ disorders, migraines, arthritis, carpal tunnel and whiplash. 

Nicholas is a proud husband and cat Dad and has been a proud Portlander since 2009 .

Testimonials

EM

Nick is an excellent massage therapist. I came to him about a year and a half ago for pain and decreased range of motion due to scoliosis and a rotated pelvis. His work has helped to lessen that pain and to free up muscles and joints that have been locked up for a long time.

Nick is friendly without being intrusive (you can talk or not talk and both are okay) and works with a quiet assurance based on his deep and intuitive knowledge of the  body. He has been a great help to me. I would recommend Nick Maxwell to anyone in need of deep work in problem areas as well as anyone who just wants a relaxing once over.

P

I have been a client of Nick’s for over two years, and he has truly been instrumental in improving my physical health and well-being.He has helped me recover from injuries, as well as deal with the inevitable physical challenges from day to day life and advancing age. He has a vast set of knowledge, and I feel he is able to personalize treatment specific to my circumstances.Nick is compassionate and insightful, and establishes an atmosphere of easy communication that makes my care feel genuinely like a collaboration. I am very grateful.

El

I’ve been a client of Nick’s for about three years, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. As someone with rheumatoid arthritis, a desk job, and dreams of surfing and maybe just a few shows with the circus, my sessions with him are critical to maintaining my flexibility and overall health.

His engagement at each session shows a rare blend of intellectual and intuitive understanding of how the body functions and adapts, and he’s an excellent guide and educator. I leave sessions more balanced and just a wee bit taller.

He’s helped me regain range of motion and strength in my shoulders and core. I have more say over how my hands and feet work. I have less pain. He was one of the few who actually helped solve the mystery of why I lost my voice for a few months. (Really!)  His ever-expanding range of techniques meet whatever I’ve brought to the massage table.

Dan

Nick, what to say, he helped me recover from a broken back. His deep tissue, myofascial release techniques are exactly what my body needs to make true improvement. Aside from that, the level of relaxation I gain in his sessions is unmatched. I recommend Nick to all my friends and loved ones. It’s always a 10/10 review from folks I send to him.

Byrd

Nicholas is an exceptional massage therapist. He possesses great technique and an extensive knowledge of human anatomy, which has been instrumental in restoring my mobility and reducing my pain. Beyond his technical skills, Nicholas creates a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking therapeutic and rejuvenating massage experience.
