Jen Hasik grew up in Columbia, SC and after moving to Charlotte, NC for college, received her massage education the Southeastern Institute of Neuromuscular Massage Therapy in 2007. She has practiced and specialized in Neuromuscular Massage Therapy, Trigger Point Massage, and Myofascial Release for 15+ years.

In 2019, Jen graduated from Greenville Tech with an Associates in Applied Science as a Physical Therapy Assistant. However, her first love has always been bodywork and after a year and a half of practice in the medical world, she decided to start her first solely owned business, THE BODY MECHANIC GVL in September of 2021 as a mobile massage clinic.

Her focus in her work continues to be that of structural integration, treating and educating her clientele on postural corrections to alleviate pain and discomfort from poor postural patterns, and instructing them on strengthening and stretching techniques to achieve postural balance.

**While a full body massage can be achieved in a 60 minute session, it is recommended for those experiencing moderate to severe discomfort to book a 90 minute session for full body, or focus work for a 60 minute session

• 60 minute service- $110
• 90 minute service- $145
• 120 minute service- $185

A pre-postural assessment can be added to any massage for an additional $10

Neuromuscular Massage

Neuromuscular therapy uses soft tissue manipulation to help improve nervous system function and the overall function and alignment of the skeletal system. Using static pressure, neuromuscular therapists place a consistent amount of pressure on a specific area of the body, helping to reduce pain and tension effectively. The overall goal of NMT is to manipulate soft tissues to allow them to move more freely with greater function.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point massage technique helps relieve pain produced by trigger points. Trigger point therapy directly stops blood flow to an area and causes cellular death. When pressure is released, cellular death is registered in the body and new oxygenated blood is brought to the area, helping to release hypercontraction of muscles or muscle groups.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial release is a manual therapy technique often used in massage. The technique focuses on pain believed to arise from myofascial tissues — the tough membranes that wrap, connect and support your muscles. During myofascial release therapy, the therapist locates myofascial areas that feel stiff and fixed instead of elastic and movable under light manual pressure. These areas, though not always near what feels like the source of pain, are thought to restrict muscle and joint movements, which contributes to widespread muscle pain.
