About
I work with people in the San Rafael area who are dealing with pain or limitations from old injuries or surgeries, and want more than temporary relief.
If your back, hip, knee, neck, or shoulder keeps getting in the way of the things you care about, whether that’s hiking, staying active at the gym, or just moving through your day without pain, providing you with long-term relief and helping you return to the life you love is what I do.
Sessions are in-home and combine 90-minutes of orthopedic massage, assisted stretching, and restorative exercises. Most clients feel a significant difference in their first session, but our real goal is always building the appropriate strength, flexibility and body awareness needed for the benefits to be sustained.
I don’t work with everyone. I’ll be honest with you if I can help and what I recommend as a starting point.
Message me with what’s bothering you and for how long it’s been bothering you. I’ll let you know if I can help or not. Thank you.

Nicky goes beyond physical body work. I started training with Coach Nicky to complement my power lifting routine and in preparation for surgery after significant weight loss. Not only did Nicky help me with mobility and injury concerns, he also helped me with training my mindset and developing my confidence with taking up space in the world around me. He is extremely knowledgeable about how our bodies and minds work. He used these strengths to help me get the best out of my training sessions and to empower me to continue training on my own with confidence.

When I was complaining about being very stiff, sore, waking up with kinks in my back and neck, my trainer / mentor highly recommended Nicky. I’m so thankful I saw Nicky, who immediately addressed my current issues, who made me feel so much better. My kinks, stiffness, and soreness went away one after the other. Nicky didn’t just address my symptoms, but the root cause of them. Nicky’s unique approach in finding and addressing why I was experiencing the issues, prevented me from feeling the same later on. Nicky gave me a home treatment plan to address the root causes and what to do if any issues crop up again. Once my issues were resolved, Nicky went over exercises & stretches to do, guiding how to perform them with proper form and technique, to maintain an healthy body and prevent recurrent stress and issues. Nicky’s approach was so unique and experienced that after working with Nicky, my sleep was better, I had more flexibility and energy in the gym, and I felt so limber and energetic during the day. Nicky’s ability to find the root issues is second to none! I highly recommend Nicky!

I started working with Nicky after years of dealing with constant lower back and hip pain from an injury that was never properly addressed. I had been seeing a chiropractor who told me I would eventually need a hip replacement, and the adjustments always felt like a temporary fix rather than actually solving the problem. On top of that, I was dealing with knee pain from a more recent injury and had to stop running.
Working with Nicky was amazing from the start. He took the time to really understand my injuries, goals, and what I was struggling with. It never felt like he was just going through the motions. Also, he was always available to answer any questions in between our sessions.
After our first meeting, he confidently told me that within 8 weeks I should feel 80% better. Honestly, I left feeling skeptical, but he was absolutely right! Through a combination of massage therapy, targeted exercises, stretching, and strength training, my pain improved dramatically. I don't deal with the constant pain I used to anymore and if I do get some tightness in my lower back, I now have the tools to help manage it myself.
I'm honestly so grateful for everything he helped me through, he literally changed my life!
