"The bamboo that bends is stronger than the Oak that resists"

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

With over fifteen years of experience as a professional action sport athlete Jess Dyrenforth is acutely aware of the stress and injuries that can come from pushing the body to its limits. His career transitioned from freestyle BMX to inline stunt, but the strain on his body remained constant. As Jess moved on past his days of competing he started to take an interest in what he had actually been doing to his body and how to repair it. Jess grew up in London England before moving to Southern California over eighteen years ago to pursue his career as a professional athlete. Splitting his life between two different cultures helped to give Jess the foundation to ask questions and look for answers from a global perspective. Additionally, one of the perks of Jess's unique vocation was that he got to travel the world for demos and competitions; this included extended stays in Thailand, Japan, Brazil, Korea and China which offered a profound balance to Jess's Western upbringing. Now as Jess approaches one thousand hours of specialized massage therapy and holistic health training, it is clear that the passion and energy once devoted to pushing his body to its physical limits have now been redirected into learning how to heal the body and return it to a place of optimum health. His background makes him uniquely qualified to identify and intimately understand the special needs of his clients. It is Jess's goal is to work with each client, identify their unique needs and then come up with a comprehensive plan to take them to their next level of wellbeing. In addition to Jess's private services, he also contributes his time at the offices of renowned Physical Therapist Dr. Koh. Working with physical therapists has broadened Jess's view of healing and has deepened his resolve to come up with comprehensive solutions to restoring health that go far beyond massage. Jess Dyrenforth is a Certified Massage Therapist and is becoming a Holistic Health Practitioner. His training and education include: Advanced Circulatory and Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Manipulation, Shiatsu, Thai Massage, Sports Injuries of the Shoulder, Knee and Ankle, CranioSacral, Reiki, Swedish Massage, Reflexology and MyoFascial Release.
