Alexander has been a licensed massage therapist in the greater Cleveland area since 2012, Alexander specializes in working with athletes, and performing medical massage. He has successfully helped WWE & AEW stars, American Ninja Warriors, world-class martial artists, professional musicians, and people from all walks of life on their road to recovery.

These populations include the elderly, cancer patients, hospice patients, and people in the acute stages of injury.

As a professional musician and medieval martial artist, Alexander is personally familiar with the havoc an injury can wreak, and he holds a deep commitment to helping others return to their normal activities quickly and safely. Alexander’s signature combination of medical massotherapy and life coaching helps you overcome injury, define your goals, and achieve your full potential at work or at play.
