Dynamic Bodyworks'
Massage Therapists
Joe Treanor L.M.T.
License # MT048563
My name is Joe Treanor; I am a licensed massage therapist in Austin, TX. A life threatening car wreck in 2002 lead me to bodywork for rehabilitation. After achieving results I was told were not possible by my doctors and surgeons, I realized massage shouldn't be seen as a luxury; but part of personal maintenance and preventative health care.
I started Dynamic Bodyworks in 2005 while I was in school at Lauterstein-Conway School of Massage. I am a graduate of all three semesters and have over 850 hours of training. I have spent the last five years serving Austin's bodywork needs throughout town in chiropractic offices, races & sports events, offices, spas, health clubs, and now in our own location.
My main points of focus are Structural Bodywork, Pain Management, Performance Wellness, Personal Maintenance, and Whole Body Health. These areas have personally shown me life changing results, and I would like to show others the power of their bodies and bodywork. Massage can have a great impact on the body. I know the strain people and athletes put on their bodies; and want to show my clients that they can perform better when they take better care of themselves.
Much of the bodywork I do is based on the belief that the body has the power to re-establish balance and heal itself when given the chance. I support the body's own resiliency by creating a space that encourages deep relaxation, balance, and centering while addressing any physical pain or discomfort. Each massage is custom tailored to suit the individual needs of each client.
Jeff Denton L.M.T.
License # MT047760
My name is Jeff Denton, I am a Neuromuscular Therapist (NMT), practicing since 2001. I came to (NMT) when injuries from an accident that I sustained as a boy started to seriously affect my life. I survived; but the injuries I sustained stayed with me; and began interfering with my daily life.
My life changed when I met a Neromuscular therapist. I was enlightened to what was happening with my body due old injuries, and how it was affecting my posture. Even from my first session, the therapist was able to completely remove my pain that I had been suffering from for the past 6 years. I was already a massage therapist when I received my first Neuromuscular Therapy session. I asked the therapist what she had done; and she told me more about Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT). Two weeks later I was in my first Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) classroom. Now when it comes to my old injuries, they simply are gone.
Through my eight years of massage education and practice, I have learned that we carry our bodies in different ways. There are many ways we use, or don't use our posture. We are busy people. We are interested in moving forward, and getting things done. We get so caught up in our day to day living, that we usually don't pay any attention to our bodies until we hurt. This is often due to a muscle strength imbalance. Most of us use the muscles on one side of the body all day, instead of working in balance with ourselves. My partner Joe and I have been highly trained to locate the origins of pain causing imbalance, and how to correct most issues. We invite you to see the power and potential your body has to correct itself when given the chance.

Ayla Rain Scott L.M.T.
License # 15258
I'm Ayla Rain Scott, LMT and I’ve been providing bodywork in Austin since 1996. In 1995 I graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Nutrition then from the Lauterstein-Conway Massage School here in Austin in 1996. In 2005 I became a Certified Personal Trainer to further help my clients improve strength and flexibility of the areas we had begun to work on with massage.
My training includes advanced levels of: Structural Bodywork, Myofascial Release, Aquatic Myofascial Release, and I'm currently incorporating Cranio-Sacral techniques to help gently release your body’s restrictions. I believe that freeing the body and mind of pain and discomfort in this way provides a relaxation like nothing else. A balanced body doesn’t hurt and a calm mind is priceless! I offer a non-invasive, gentle, conscious and variable amount of pressure in either a comprehensive bodywork session or we can focus our attention on key areas that are giving you problems. My goal is to provide you with a chance to relax, reduce physical restrictions, decrease pain or discomfort and restore you to a place of greater movement and happier living within your own body!

Anthony Alvarez L.M.T.
License # 107462
I graduated from A New Beginning School ofMassage, Austin, TX in 2007 I have spent half of my 29 years doing Meditation, Yoga, Dance, & Massage. I mainly use Shiatsu as my main modality due to the fact that it "treats" the underlying problem areas which would be tight, contracted muscle & fascia tissue, rather than the symptoms of pain. Simply put, pain is eliminated & relaxation can take place when all the components of the imbalance caused by traumatic injuries, repetitive stress or postural deficits are corrected. I'm to the point, deep, accurate, & create results! If you have trouble sleeping at night, suffer from a chronic pain, or simply stressed on a daily basis. Then it's time you allow me to start applying the "Right Pressures" in life!
