Medical Massage Sports Performance Injury Recovery

Duane Pascal is a licensed massage therapist specializing in medical and performance-based bodywork. With over a decade of experience supporting high-level athletes — including work alongside Dave Salo and the USC Trojans swimming and diving at PAC-12 Championships, NCAA Championships, Nationals, and Olympic Trials — Duane brings a clinical, precision-based approach to recovery and performance care.

His work focuses on helping clients:

    •    Resolve chronic pain patterns

    •    Recover from injury

    •    Improve mobility and joint function

    •    Prevent recurring strain

    •    Support long-term physical resilience

Duane’s background also includes service as an Emergency Medical Technician and Emergency Department Technician, giving him a strong understanding of trauma, physiology, and how the body adapts under stress.

Since establishing his private practice in Tacoma in 2009, Duane has worked with athletes, professionals, and active individuals seeking more than relaxation massage. His sessions are highly customized and treatment-oriented — blending orthopedic assessment, advanced manual techniques, and intuitive body awareness to address root causes rather than symptoms alone.

His goal is simple: help you move better, recover faster, and trust your body again.
