About Ben Lancaster
Ben is a Structural Bodyworker (LMBT) based in Asheville, NC. Born and raised in North Carolina, he has a special appreciation for the Appalachian Mountains that we call home. He trained at the North Carolina School of Advanced Bodywork where he received a strong foundational knowledge of human anatomy as well as how common, repetitive actions can drastically change a person's experience of their body and the world around them. He uses each client's skeletal position, everyday movements, body history, personal pain threshold, and many other factors to form a plan of treatment specific to the individual. He uses many modalities, including but not limited to Structural Assessment, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Deep Tissue Massage, Swedish Massage, Passive and Active Stretching, and Cupping. Having many tools in his tool belt, Ben approaches issues in the body from different angles to find the optimum solution to the problem. If you have a specific concern that you would like to work on, Ben will continue that conversation throughout your client-therapist relationship so you have all the tools you need to continue living pain-free after your session(s).
Ben has been a licensed massage therapist for 5 years, and he has been passionate about helping others get out of pain by using massage since his youth. He learned his first techniques from his father in middle school and high school, practicing on family and friends to build his skills. He continued to practice on friends and family throughout college, honing his techniques and developing a greater passion for helping others reduce or eliminate their pain.
To this day, he continues to learn more about the human body so that he can best serve his clients.
