David Ledesma
Sports Massage Therapist
Serving the public since 1989
My goal is to provide every client with quality care that gets results. That’s why every massage must be my best massage! If you have an issue that is soft tissue (muscle) related, I can help.
MY APPROACH
Each session is designed to your specific needs. I believe the deeper the pressure the better, but it is relative to each individuals sensitivity. There will be some discomfort with deep massage, but it can’t be avoided to release the bundled muscle fibers, adhesions, and fascia. Effectively regulating the pressure throughout the session, and gradually gaining maximum pressure to the clients tolerance works best. There may be next day soreness, which is not unusual and cannot be avoided when doing deep work. With follow-up sessions the muscle soreness will significantly decrease and even be eliminated.
Testimonials
“I have been working with Dave since June 2019, and I can’t be happier with the results I’ve gotten! I run a demanding race schedule between road marathons and Ultras and no matter what’s going on with my mechanics, he knows exactly what the issue is and how to fix it. Many times I’ve been out on a training run and something tightens up, but it’s not a big deal because I know he can take care of it. I see him consistently every two weeks, and in between appointments he sends me video tutorials of the stretching I need to do in the meantime. He also takes the time to track me at every major race and is always there for me! I highly, highly recommend him for every athlete! I’m honored to have him on my team”.
“I came to David at Advanced Muscle Therapy, frankly in a desperate attempt to identify a sports massage therapist with the knowledge, skill, and understanding in addressing the needs and ailments consistent with a very competitive athlete. I struggled for years to find someone with both the skill and strength to figure out what was going on with my legs and to break up the scar tissue that was causing numerous setbacks in my training. Simply put, I just couldn’t stay healthy long enough to complete my training programs. Dave identified the issues and resolved each while educating me as we went to help me address and better prevent the issues from returning.

THE SUNFLOWER:
With a round face and petals that resemble rays of sunshine, the sunflower has important cultural and spiritual significance to people around the world. It symbolizes commonly shared qualities like Peace, Happiness, Optimism, Honesty, Longevity, Admiration, and Devotion.
Sunflowers originate in the Americas. They were first domesticated in what is now Mexico and the Southern United States. Domesticated sunflower seeds have been found in Mexico, dating to 2100 BCE. Native American people grew sunflowers as a crop from Mexico to Southern Canada.
