About Andy Duncan Massage Therapy

I was led to massage therapy when my wife was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Massage was one of the most effective treatments to help her manage the condition and I wanted to learn more about the different techniques and skills utilized in pain management. I never intended for massage to become my full time career, I thought it would be something I would do part time on the side in addition to having a full time job. I was pleasantly surprised to find that with the skills I was taught and the interest in massage therapy I had, I was able to quit my other job and begin my career. I enjoy being able to help others better their lives and provide for my own family's well being at the same time. I was led to massage therapy when my wife was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
