Chad Patterson’s path to becoming a licensed massage therapist in Florence, SC was far from typical. A competitive swimmer since age eight, Chad first experienced the power of massage therapy as an athlete. Regular treatments helped him prevent injuries and recover faster, even if he didn’t fully understand the science at the time.

When most people hear the word massage, they picture a spa-like experience—soft music, scented oils, and total relaxation. While that’s definitely one part of massage therapy, it’s only the beginning. At The Body Mechanic, we believe that massage is more than pampering—it’s real therapy for real results.
