BENEFITS

Improved Posture:

By addressing misalignments, the body can naturally hold itself in a more efficient and pain-free position.

Pain Relief:

Many clients experience reduced discomfort as tension patterns are released and movement improves.

Enhanced Mobility:

Greater flexibility and range of motion result from the removal of fascial restrictions and muscular imbalances.

Better Body Awareness:

Clients gain a deeper understanding of their movement patterns and how to maintain alignment in daily activities.

Testimonials

"My first visit to Scott was due to a running injury - I could barely walk into his studio for my treatment.  From the very first session, I knew he was going to be a critical contributor to my recovery.  Scott gave me excellent massage therapy and put his energy and resources into helping me get back on the road.  And now, the quality of my runs far exceed those before my injury.  Scott continues to be a key component of my overall wellness practices.  His extensive knowledge of the muscular structure, and its connection to mobility and movement, contine to enable my 60+ year old body to be as agile as possible!"

Liz Bronneberg

"I've had many traditional massages in my lifetime and none of them could even come close to comparison to the unique and powerful approach Scott uses with the Dawson Method. I will never see another therapist. He can eliminate pain immediately and my movement continues to improve daily. I am beyond grateful to have him as my bodyworker."

Lisa Marini, CBHC

"Scott has a keen sense of where energy was stored in my body. Using a firm and smooth touch combined with a deep breathing technique, I experienced a profound release. Thank you Scott"

"I’ve seen Scott for recovery from a sprained ankle, chronic posture issues and neck pain. Every time I leave his office the gains in both pain reduction and mobility are miraculous. He’s a wonderful mixture of strength and sensitivity and has years of experience. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

Katherine

"Scott is the best body worker I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been a practicing acupuncturist for 26 years and constantly look for the best practitioners to refer my clients to for musculoskeletal issues. Scott can unwind patterns with his unique mixture of fascia and deep release work like no other practitioner. He’s got the years of experience that inform how to work with each individuals unique situation. I’ve sent clients who had been getting regular massage for months with other practitioners and in just a few sessions their issues were resolved. He’s consistently remarkable."

About SCOTT

My Story

Hello, I am Scott Dawson. I’m a Structural Integration Bodyworker with a deep passion for helping people move freely and live pain-free. My journey into bodywork began after my father’s passing in 1999, when I felt a strong calling to help others heal through manual therapy. Over the years, I’ve developed a keen ability to identify and address pain patterns, guiding clients back to the activities they love—without pain.

In 2015, a near-death motorcycle accident became a turning point in my life. As a Fire Lieutenant at the time, I returned to work before fully recovering from a head injury and unresolved PTSD. Two years later, I left the Fire Service to focus on my own healing—an experience that profoundly shaped my approach to bodywork.
Today, I bring all of these lessons into my practice. I take a holistic approach, considering every aspect of your body’s story to create lasting change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your body, restore balance, and move with ease.
