Brett Hanson - Founder/Owner
Brett Hanson has over 25 years of bodywork experience and advance certifications in Orthopedic Manual Therapy and Sports Massage. He has successfully treated world class athletes including the San Francisco Giants MLB, world champion cyclists, professional tennis players, the US Nordic ski team, and other Olympians.
In his practice, Brett applies his innovative bodywork techniques and muscle testing to identify the source of problems. His hands-on approach is aimed at releasing hypertonic muscles and resolving movement dysfunctions to enhance balance and stability. Brett became interested in the value of massage when, competing as a national level cyclist, he began suffering from an overuse injury. He received relief from targeted bodywork which allowed him to return to training and racing in the US Olympic Trials.
Having experienced first hand the healing power of bodywork, he was very intrigued and ultimately decided to pursue massage as a career. Years of treating athletes as a sports massage therapist, and intensive study of Orthopedic Manual Therapy has distinguished his work and powerful results.
When not working, Brett enjoys all things single track! Mtn. biking, hiking and bagging peaks in the summer. In the winter, it’s all about the skiing here in central Idaho. Alpine, Nordic and backcountry all contribute to the mental health and physical fitness.
