Staff Jimmy Oliver, LMT
Jimmy grew up on Long Island, interested in sports and weight lifting. After graduating high school, he studied at Springfield College and SUNY Cortland on his way to earning a bachelors in Exercise Science. Once completing his undergrad, Jimmy obtained a certification in personal training through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. During this time, Jimmy was receiving treatments from John, and he was surprised how well massage and manual therapy could work. With a background in anatomy and kinesiology, he thought a career in massage therapy could be perfect for him. Jimmy then enrolled in NYCHP for massage therapy in 2021. He completed the program a trimester early with a 3.86 GPA, and is excited to use what he has learned to help others. He is versed in Swedish, deep tissue, sport massage, amma therapy, and will be studying chronic pain and rehab techniques under John before becoming a pain a rehab specialist.

View All ServicesWhat is neuromuscular therapy?
Neuro- (nerve) Muscular- (muscle) Therapy (NMT) or Trigger Point Therapy is a series of clinical techniques...Read more/less
...based upon Janet Travell and David Simons work. NMT is designed to treat and release trigger points, restricted fascia (connective tissue), entrapped nerves and relieve pain and disfunction. Travell estimated that up to 90% or more of pain associated complaints may be trigger point related.
What is a trigger point?
A trigger point is generally defined as a hyper- irritable nodule or taut band within a muscle that tends to refer pain...Read more/less
...or sensation to other areas of the body. The classic, "knot in the muscle" is probably a trigger point. Trigger points tend to refer along the acupuncture channels or meridians, indicating a direct correlation between trigger point formation and disfunction within a specific acupuncture channel.
What is Osteo-articular pumping?
Osteo- (bone) Articular (joint) Pumping (moving fluid) is a gentle osteopathic technique that works on soft tissues...Read more/less
...such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, bursae and synovial membranes. The therapist maintains (pumps) fluid along a certain gradient by utilizing muscle contraction and at first, blocking and then following the natural movement of the joint.
Adhesions in restricted fascia and muscle tissue, which can decrease the natural range of motion of the joint, are usually synonymous with areas of chronic pain and inflammation, marked by reduced circulation of blood and lymph, which slows or in some cases, halts the healing process. Pumping fluid into these areas can aid healing, reduce pain levels and the associated inflammation and restore normal range of motion back to the joint. It is not an adjustment or a joint manipulation.
What is Myofascial Stretching and Release?
Myo- (muscle) Fascial- (connective tissue) Release and Stretching are gentle hands on techniques that work by...Read more/less
...applying steady, prolonged pressure or Creep, to release any restrictions in the muscle and fascia that may be impairing range of motion or causing pain and disfunction.
Fascia, a connective tissue found throughout the body, is designed for supporting muscles, organs and glands. It is the link between muscles, promoting communication (along with the nervous system), fluid exchange, protection, stability etc. The Acupuncture Meridians are thought to run through certain fluid channels in the fascia. As many sources say, healthy fascia equals a healthy person.
Why is Nutrition and Lifestyle Advice Pertinent to My Pain Therapy and Rehab Program?
As you probably know, everything in your body is made up of cells; these cells require a constant supply of hydration...Read more/less
...and nutrients to properly maintain homeostasis in the body. Therefore, everything that is you, such as: your hair, skin, nails, organs, muscles, fascia, bones, tendons, ligaments Etc., is constructed from the foods that you eat and the amount of water that you drink.
In other words, if you aren't getting the proper nutrition that your body demands, your hair, skin, nails, organs, muscles, fascia, bones, tendons and ligaments will all be deficient and compromised and you will most likely have inflammation in these areas. Inflammation is a precursor to pain and dis-ease.
On top of that, certain foods can be inflammatory, exacerbating and in some cases, causing pain and inflammation. In our program, we will be discussing different changes you can make to avoid any excess inflammation in your body.
