About David

David Herring brings a rare combination of clinical rigor and humanistic care to every session. A Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) in Pennsylvania, David is also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Licensed Behavior Specialist (LBS-PA), holding a Master of Science from Purdue Global and a Bachelor of Arts from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania. That dual training—behavior science and hands-on bodywork—informs how he reads posture, holding patterns, and stress responses, and how he builds a session that meets clients exactly where they are.

David has completed 137+ continuing education units in massage and manual therapy, with 121 CEUs concentrated in Thai massage alone—an unusual depth of specialization in this modality. He holds the Advanced Thai Massage Practitioner (ATMP) certification from Living Sabai, a leading school of authentic Thai bodywork tracing its lineage to the traditional wat-based teaching hospitals of Chiang Mai, Thailand.

David’s clients range from athletes chasing performance gains and busy professionals fighting chronic desk-driven tightness, to wellness-focused clients who prefer a slower, more meditative approach through Thai yoga massage.

David's specialties

  • Thai Yoga Massage — the modality that has shaped David's career. Sessions are performed clothed on a padded mat, integrating acupressure, assisted stretching, and rhythmic compression along the body's sen energy lines.

  • Deep Tissue Massage — for chronic tension, postural strain, and long-standing muscle tightness.

  • Swedish Massage — full-body relaxation and circulatory work.

  • Therapeutic Massage — a blended, goal-focused approach targeting specific complaints.

  • Sports Massage — pre-event, post-event, and maintenance work for active clients.

  • Cupping Therapy — suction cupping for adhesions, fascial restrictions, and stagnant tissue.

  • Gua Sha / Graston / Muscle Scraping (IASTM) — instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization for stubborn knots and scar tissue.

Session lengths

David offers 30-, 60-, 90-, and 120-minute sessions, tailored to the modality and your goals. Longer sessions are especially recommended for full-body Thai yoga massage and for combined deep-tissue-plus-cupping work.
