Maclain’s approach to massage is dependant on the needs of the patient in front of him. Whether the preference is for light, moderate, or deep pressure he can help the patient to find what works best for their healing. His favoured style of treatment is myofascial release, though he is able to work in many different styles. He enjoys the puzzle-like quality of helping a patient unravel and overcome their physical pain to restore them to a life of health and ease.
