Matthew Koeser, CMT

My name is Matthew Koeser. I am a graduate of Lakeside School of Massage Therapy here in Madison, WI. I am versatile in several styles of massage including Swedish/Relaxation, Sports Massage, Connective/ Deep Tissue work, and Trigger Point. Being more inclined toward rehabilitative and therapeutic styles, site-specific and local dysfunctions are my trade specialties. As a long-time student of gym-culture, I have a good understanding of the common aches and pains endured through exercise. Combining these two features together has given me greater insight into muscular dysfunction and its treatment.

“People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.”

--“Thich Nhat Hanh”, Buddhist Monk

I ascribe to this principle as much as anyone. It is easier to deal with pain you can recognize or call by name than it is to endure and go beyond. The steps we take to provide relief for ourselves can lead us through territory we’ve never been, and it often anchors us.
