About Sal Morando

Sal Morando, LMT

Board-Certified Massage Therapist | Myoskeletal Alignment & Orthopedic Specialist

I have always been interested in health and the body. During my second year of college and still unsure of the healthcare direction I wanted to take, I lost a large portion of my eye sight to a rare mitochondrial disease, called Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy. I am now considered legally blind. For a while, I assumed my health related career was impossible, but I was enlightened when I discovered the field of massage therapy and bodywork.

I am a specialized Licensed Massage Therapist with advanced certifications in Orthopedic Massage and Myoskeletal Alignment Technique (MAT). My practice is defined by a rigorous, results-oriented approach that bridges the gap between manual therapy and physical rehabilitation. By focusing on the relationship between the nervous system and the skeletal structure, I tailor bodywork sessions to each client’s goals for muscular comfort and movement. Massage is not a substitute for medical evaluation or treatment.

My work combines orthopedic massage, Myoskeletal Alignment Technique and myofascial approaches. Each session is planned around your goals, health history and comfort, with techniques and pressure adapted to you. I work with athletes, desk workers and people seeking support for muscular tension and everyday movement.

I continue to develop my skills through advanced training and continuing education. My approach is personal: we discuss what you would like to address, adjust the session as needed and talk about how you feel afterward. Massage does not diagnose or cure medical conditions and is not a substitute for medical evaluation or treatment.

Along my journey of training and learning, I have met and studied with mentors and bodyworkers who have strengthened my passion for bodywork and many who have taken me under their wing and taught me much of what I do today to help many people. I now feel that my vision disability is a strength to me in this field and enables me to be more in tuned with my work.

I have volunteered my work at the MS Challenge walk in Cape Cod, MA and the Boston Marathon in Boston, MA for many years as well as other various athletic events. I truly enjoy working with athletes to help them complete their goals as well as helping the everyday office worker have a more comfortable life.

My professional training includes certification in Orthopedic Massage through the Orthopedic Massage Education and Research Institute (OMERI), and advanced certification in Myoskeletal Alignment through Erik Dalton’s Freedom From Pain Institute.
