This gives us a base line from which to work as well as a point from which we can improve. We focus to improve your range of motion, improve your posture, improve your quality of life. Intake and baseline evaluations consist of a combination of verbal conversation, visual and digital postural assessment, ROM assessment, and/or movement assessment.

Meet Our Team
Chelsa Connolly, BS in Kinesiology, Licensed Massage Therapist -Instructor, Licensed Athletic Trainer
My background and specialty are with musculoskeletal injuries and pain management through a biomechanics and science based approach.
Prior to beginning this massage therapy practice, I worked from January 2013 to August 2016 at Panola College to establish athletic training for the athletic department. In addition to my training and skills as a massage therapist I have extensive experience in actively participating with health care teams to provide a goal oriented, high level of care for the individuals I am working with.
I have completed a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a focus in Athletic Training and advanced clinical training in massage therapy in techniques relating to myofascial release as well as specific deep tissue massage focused to improve efficiency of movement. I believe in life-long learning and continually work to better my knowledge and skills.
While I will not be practicing any athletic training, my background in the profession has shaped my thinking process to evaluate techniques with a critical eye to research and evidence based models. I will be working to pursue certifications which will allow me to include corrective exercise personal training specialties into my massage practice
I enjoy getting to know individuals and helping them to establish their goals and ultimately achieve them.
Sam Friedrich, BA in Theater and Cinematography, Licensed Massage Therapist, Licensed Esthetician
After graduating from SFA in Nacogdoches, Texas in 2016, Massage Therapy School was the obvious next step. The Stone School of Massage in Tyler, Texas was however, only the beginning for the former "family foot massager."
Massage Therapy School is where my curiosity was ignited, and I began to grow into a professional Massage Therapist and lifelong student of my artform.
Prior to coming to The Body Mechanics, I worked at Hand and Stone then Headquarters Men's Salon and Spa in Tyler, Texas where I have been able to utilize all of my education as both LMT and LE. The overall driving philosophy of TBM is to decrease pain and increase quality of life was a perfect fit for my own goals within my career as a Licensed Massage Therapist.
My goals as a therapist are to create functional, personalized, integrative massage therapy sessions from my varied training and backgrounds. Some of my favorite types of work to incorporate include Myofascial Release, Trigger Point, Therapeutic Cupping, Total Body Stretching and Prenatal and Postpartum/Infant Massage Therapy.
