Empowering Athletes to Perform, Recover, and Excel

With 20 years of experience in Rehabilitation and Wellness, I bring a wealth of expertise and passion to every session. As a Recovery Specialist, my mission is simple: to help athletes and active individuals push their limits, recover faster, and stay at the top of their game. I know firsthand the toll that sports and intense physical activity can take on the body, and I’m here to make sure you’re always ready for the next challenge.

Whether it’s a pre-event boost, post-event recovery, or long-term injury prevention, I combine proven techniques with a personalized approach to meet your unique needs. Every athlete is different, and so is every session I deliver.

My Toolbox of Techniques Includes:

  • Sports Massage: Boosting circulation and reducing muscle fatigue.
  • Deep Tissue Massage: Targeting those stubborn knots and tension points.
  • Myofascial Release: Enhancing mobility and easing restrictions.
  • Event-Specific Massage: Prepping for peak performance or speeding up recovery.
  • Injury Prevention & Rehabilitation: Keeping you strong and resilient.
  • Stretching Techniques & Joint Manipulation: Optimizing flexibility and range of motion.
  • Kinesiology Taping: Supporting muscles and joints when it matters most.

My Philosophy

I believe recovery is the secret weapon of champions. It’s not just about bouncing back—it’s about coming back better, stronger, and more prepared. That’s why I take a collaborative approach, tailoring every session to your goals and physiology. Whether you’re gearing up for a big event, bouncing back from an injury, or simply maintaining peak muscle condition, my focus is always on what works best for you.

Credentials You Can Trust

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Physiotherapy (a comprehensive 5-year program) from the Philippines.
  • Certified in Advanced Taping Techniques for Sports.

Here is what Manuel's clients say about him

5/5
Highly recommended for sports therapy, massage and other recovery activities for active people and people with injury. Manuel gave an excellent sports deep tissue massage and broke all the knots and heaviness of my back caused by constant workouts and weightlifting. I also had compression therapy - highly recommended for those who need recovery for their legs. Overall, I liked my experience and will definitely be back.

I went through six deep tissue massage sessions with therapist Manuel, and let me tell you, he tore me up during every session—but it was exactly what my body needed! The deep tissue work was intense, but Manuel’s expertise made all the difference in my recovery. My body feels rejuvenated, and the progress I’ve seen is truly remarkable.
