Jason Sarkissian - Massage Therapists

Biographical Info

Jason Sarkissian is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Neuromuscular Therapist, and Certified Orthopedic Massage Therapist specializing in evidence-based soft tissue treatment for pain relief and functional movement restoration. His approach is methodical, precise, and informed by a deep understanding of anatomy and biomechanics. Known for his commitment to client education, Jason takes the time to explain his findings and treatment strategies, empowering clients to better understand their bodies.

With a lifelong background in athletics, including competition at a high level, Jason brings firsthand insight into the physical demands of sport, injury recovery, and performance optimization. These experiences sparked his interest in therapeutic bodywork after witnessing the profound effects of physical therapy and soft tissue manipulation on pain management and mobility.

Before entering the field of massage therapy, Jason spent over a decade in the roofing industry, advancing from laborer to regional director overseeing large-scale industrial projects. Although successful, the high-stress corporate environment ultimately led him to pursue a more meaningful and fulfilling path in health and wellness. After visiting a massage school, he immediately connected with the environment and knew he had found his calling, particularly in injury rehabilitation and neuromuscular therapy.

After completing his training, Jason began his career at a day spa while also serving as a teaching assistant at his alma mater. He soon joined a chiropractic office where he was able to refine his focus on neuromuscular therapy. This led him to earn his Certification in Neuromuscular Therapy under Judith DeLany, the founder of the modality. He later accepted a position as an instructor at a massage therapy school, where he taught kinesiology, neuromuscular therapy, facilitated stretching, and neuro re-education. Though he eventually stepped away from teaching to focus on his work at the Studio, he plans to return to education as an instructor for DeLany’s national program.

Jason currently specializes in treating neck pain, thoracic outlet syndrome, whiplash, lower back and hip pain, and sports-related injuries. As a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champion himself, he has a particular passion for working with martial artists, MMA fighters, rock climbers, and professional athletes.
