David S. Williams, LMT |

David Williams has been studying and practicing massage since 2002. He graduated from the South Carolina Massage
Institute. He is licensed in South Carolina and nationally certified. He mainly does an integrated Swedish
massage with specific deep tissue, when needed. He believes
in a firm but gentle massage, hard enough to
cause change but not pain, (manipulated not
agitate) a massage should soothe, relax,
nurture and heal. He works with young and
old, athletes and non-athletes, people in
pain and people who just want to relax and
unwind. He uses massage, nutrition and
exercise to help people be happy and
healthy. |
