Scott Japhet

A 2010 graduate of Rocky Mountain Institute of the Healing Arts (RMIHA) in Durango, I earned my diploma in Therapeutic Massage through an intensive program specializing in Neuromuscular Therapy, injury rehabilitation, and advanced bodywork techniques. My training included:

Myofascial stretching & realignment
Sports massage & postural analysis/correction
Pregnancy massage & targeted therapeutic exercise

Today, I blend these modalities into a personalized, results-driven approach—helping clients heal, move better, and reclaim their vitality.

Mentorship & Continued Growth

Under the guidance of Jason and Holly McClintock (Aspen Wellness, Bayfield)—rehabilitation experts with over a decade of experience—I’ve deepened my mastery of functional bodywork and injury recovery. Their mentorship has been invaluable, and I continually refine my skills through:

Hands-on client work (every session teaches me something new!)
Seminars, research, and cutting-edge techniques
NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist certification (2014), expanding my ability to design targeted corrective exercise programs for lasting results.

Why It Matters

The human body is my passion—and my mission is to bridge bodywork with movement science for transformative care. Whether relieving pain, enhancing performance, or restoring balance, I’m committed to empowering your wellness journey with expertise, curiosity, and heart.
