About Joseph Damien Ward

Licensed Massage Therapist & Somatic Therapy Specialist

Welcome to World Tree Therapeutics. I’m Joseph Damien Ward, a licensed massage therapist with extensive training in deep tissue massage and somatic assessment. My practice is built on the understanding that true healing comes from addressing the whole person – body, mind, and spirit.

My Approach to Therapeutic Massage

With extensive training in deep tissue massage and somatic assessment, I bring a comprehensive approach to therapeutic bodywork. My practice focuses on understanding the interconnected nature of the body’s systems and addressing root causes rather than just symptoms.

I believe that each person’s body tells a unique story through its patterns of tension, movement, and holding. My role is to listen to that story and work collaboratively with you to facilitate healing and restore optimal function.

Specializations & Training

My expertise encompasses several key areas of therapeutic bodywork:

  • Deep Tissue Massage – Advanced techniques for chronic pain and muscle tension
  • Sports Massage Therapy – Performance enhancement and injury prevention for athletes
  • Somatic Assessment – Comprehensive evaluation of movement patterns and body mechanics
  • Myofascial Release – Specialized techniques for fascial restrictions
  • Trigger Point Therapy – Targeted treatment for referred pain patterns
  • Postural Restoration – Corrective approaches for alignment issues

Philosophy of Care

I believe that healing is a collaborative process. My approach integrates traditional massage techniques with modern understanding of neuroscience, fascial systems, and somatic experiencing. Each session is tailored to your specific needs, whether you’re seeking:

  • Relief from chronic pain conditions
  • Recovery from sports injuries
  • Improvement in movement quality and posture
