About Julia Hodge

For over 15 years, I've been passionate about helping people overcome pain and reclaim their quality of life through specialized neuromuscular therapy. My journey began with a deep fascination for the intricate connections between our nervous system, muscles, and overall wellbeing.

What sets my practice apart is not just my extensive clinical experience, but my background as an educator. Having taught future massage therapists at Gwinnett College, I bring both hands-on expertise and a deep understanding of the science behind what we do. This combination allows me to not only provide effective treatment but also educate my clients about their conditions and empower them in their healing process.

Whether you're dealing with chronic pain that has resisted other treatments, recovering from a sports injury, or struggling with workplace-related muscular dysfunction, I'm here to help you find lasting relief through precision-based neuromuscular therapy.

With a deep foundation in musculoskeletal health and therapeutic modalities, I bring expertise across a wide range of specialized techniques, including:

• Neuromuscular Therapy – Targeted pain relief and improved muscle function
• Reflexology – Focused pressure therapy for stress reduction
• Musculoskeletal Anatomy & Kinesiology – Advanced knowledge of body mechanics and movement
• Swedish/Deep Tissue & Chair Massage – Versatile techniques to suit all client needs
• Myofascial Release – Gentle manipulation to relieve muscle tension and improve flexibility
• Clinical Pathology & Hydrotherapy – Holistic approaches for managing chronic conditions and enhancing recovery
• Rehabilitation Protocols & Case Management – Comprehensive support for long-term healing
