Knot Fite Massage
Howdy! My name is James Fite and I’ve been a massage therapist who focuses on helping people’s body function better for about 10 years. I use a wide array of techniques from many modalities such as Deep Tissue, Sports, Thai, Reiki, and Trigger Point.
I’ve spent most of my massage career working side by side with Chiropractors and Physical Therapists, so my massage practice's intent reflects the idea of healing and restoring function. While I am only one part of the puzzle my goal is to help my clients continue their wellness journey.
MY Massage Philosophy
-
Listen
I do my best to listen to my client’s body, only be deeply listening to the muscles am I able to help release tension. Though I encourage my clients to speak up if my pressure becomes too intense, you’ll know your body than I do.
-
Safety
I want all my clients to feel physically and emotionally safe. That is a large part of why I do all my massage over the clothes. While this confuses people at first I can guarantee that you will still feel the same benefits as a massage that uses lotion. The biggest difference is that you won’t feel sticky after my massage!

One piece of the puzzle
I alone can’t fix my client’s problems, health and wellness take many hands so I encourage all my clients to see others in the medical and health/wellness field. While I can offer deep relaxation and a pause from the chaos of life there will always be more work that needs to be done.
The Knot Fite massage
The massage I give is over the clothes with no use of lotion, this way the client doesn’t feel vulnerable while I work and so I can stretch and move any part of the body without worrying about exposing my client.
The work I do is generally on the deeper side of things my goal is never to see how hard I can go but to find the right amount of pressure needed for the muscles. The session is never a contest of strength or endurance but you will feel a work-out sort of sore after the massage, along with a sense of relief and relaxation.
