About Tim Schimick
Tim is a 1998 of the renowned Utah College of Massage Therapy in Salt Lake City. After completing the core massage program he returned to the classroom to study the 10 Session System of Structural Integration, (aka Rolfing) designed by Dr. Ida Rolf, and stayed on at UCMT for another two years as an instructor of Deep Tissue Bodywork, Craniosacral Therapy and Structural Integration. During that time he became fascinated with the intricacies of the human structure and how it relates to gravity and activity; continuously changing based on our actions and input we give the structure. After 14 years of practicing bodywork, he continued his insatiable desire to know more about the body and returned to the classroom to earn his Master of Science Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture degree from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in 2014.
As a lifelong athlete, Tim has participated in numerous fitness activities, starting with running cross country in junior high school, to playing ultimate frisbee and softball, competing in marathons and culminating in finishing the Ironman Triathlon in Madison in 2010. Of course, with training and competing come aches, pains and injuries. Tim experience with this firsthand has given him a unique ability to communicate and connect with people of all ages and activity levels and help them reach their fitness and health goals by maintaining alignment and balance in their bodies.
All of Tim’s sessions are designed to help the body find its way back to balance and harmony, relieving chronic pain and discomfort along the way, and allowing his client’s to resume their life without the limitations keeping them from enjoying it. Using a variety of modalities, Tim works “with” your structure, not “on”, creating a space of healing and relaxation that allows the client to release stress and other patterns that hinder the body’s ability to heal itself.
Above all else, the main focus of Tim’s bodywork is maintenance and prevention, for the body, mind and spirt through wellness practices including diet, exercise and care for the human structure. This includes regular bodywork/massage to help reduce stress and tension and to help prevent the affects of living in the field of gravity and the occasional bombardment of everyday life.
