Jeff Burkhardt massage Therapist in Milwaukee

---

I am Jeff Burkhardt, massage therapist in the Milwaukee area, a Wisconsin licensed massage therapist (since 2009) with a professional objective to provide the best quality service in helping clients achieve their wellness goals. I am proficient in over 35 massage modalities many of which are combined in a massage to meet each client’s individual needs.   I work with a wide variety and age of clientele that range from elite athletes, weekend warriors and stay at home parents.  I customize each massage to meet the clients’ desired goals but always provide a very therapeutic yet relaxing massage.

​

I studied at the Milwaukee School of Massage to achieve my license and pursued specialized training at the Core Institute with George Kousaleos.  This special training included Myofascial Spreading techniques and Structural Integration.  These specialty techniques are designed to assist elite athletes by increasing their speed, power and skills needed to perform at optimum levels.  These techniques have been used with athletes at the Summer Olympics since 1996, Florida State University and professional sports teams. 

​

Personally, I performed these manual therapy services for collegiate football athletes in residence for the 2017 XPE NFL Combine Preparation and NBA athletes.  Although these procedures are designed for athletes they are also very effective for any person seeking improved flexibility, reduction of pain and structural balance.  For example:  I have used these techniques on musicians who regained the ability to “hit” higher notes that have not been reached in years.  They also noticed the ability to sing the notes through longer phrases without taking a breath.  The hand therapy also relaxed the hands enough to increase the finger positioning on a keyboard and the neck of a string instrument. 

​

My massage techniques are proven to effectively treat the myofascial tissues of my clients.  I provide an integrated method that includes body reading, region-specific protocols, and client-education strategies with myofascial treatment for the legs, hips, back, shoulders, chest and neck.  The treatment protocols address tissues that are fundamental to enhance performance.  My clients notice an improvement in structural balance, movement patterns and flexibility while experiencing a decrease in acute and chronic pain.
