Restoring the Body’s Natural Intelligence
The Name
The Philosophy
The Philosophy
Modern Shamanics a hybrid method of manipulating physiological patterns and restoring the body back to natural harmony through its innate intelligence and systems. Our approach is rooted in our modern and ancient knowledge of the human body with the core principle that the body heals itself.

The Philosophy
There are no bad knees, just bad movement. Pain is often the result of long-standing compensation patterns; whether developed over a lifetime of inefficient neuromuscular firing or triggered by acute physical or emotional trauma. These adaptations were once protective; the nervous system prioritized survival, and no amount of mental willpower can override patterns that are neurologically encoded.
The Solution
The Philosophy
The Solution
This is why approaches like deep tissue work, physical therapy, or spinal manipulation alone often fall short. The body’s fascia—its structural and neurological connective network—acts like fiber-optic cabling for communication; when it becomes restricted, signal quality degrades, leading to faulty feedback loops and further compensation
This is why approaches like deep tissue work, physical therapy, or spinal manipulation alone often fall short. The body’s fascia—its structural and neurological connective network—acts like fiber-optic cabling for communication; when it becomes restricted, signal quality degrades, leading to faulty feedback loops and further compensation over time. The solution is to break the pattern, returning the nervous system back to safety.
Your Body Heals Itself

Modern Shamanics was created to bridge precise manual bodywork with a deep understanding of how the nervous system organizes movement, stability, and healing. My work draws from myofascial release, deep tissue, sports massage, and trigger point therapy, with specialized training in BeActivated and Reflexive Performance Reset (RPR). Rather than forcing change at the tissue level, these methods focus on restoring neurological permission and reflexive stability so the body can self-organize more efficiently
How We Work
We work with the body as an integrated system, not a collection of isolated parts. Patterns of tension, compensation, and limitation often originate upstream within the nervous system and fascial network, long before they appear as pain or dysfunction. By addressing these underlying drivers, sessions are designed to reduce unnecessary tension, improve coordination, and support strength, resilience, and long-term performance.
Meet The Practitioner
My name is Dylan. I work with the body as an integrated system, not a collection of isolated parts. Patterns of tension, compensation, and limitation often originate upstream within the nervous system and fascial network, long before they appear as pain or dysfunction. By addressing these underlying drivers, sessions are designed to reduce unnecessary tension, improve coordination, and support strength, resilience, and long-term performance.
Who This is For
This work supports people who expect more from their bodies, whether that means returning to pain-free movement, sustaining high performance, or rebuilding trust after injury or chronic tension. For athletes and high performers, the focus is on movement quality, recovery, and resilience under load. For those dealing with chronic pain or long-standing issues, sessions aim to calm protective patterns and address the mechanisms that often keep pain in place even after tissue has healed.
The Goal
The name Modern Shamanics reflects this balance between science and intuition, rooted in anatomy, neuromuscular function, and biomechanics, while honoring the body’s innate intelligence and capacity to adapt when given the right input. The goal is not relaxation alone, but meaningful, lasting change: helping clients move better, feel more connected, and regain trust in their own bodies.

Background
My approach to bodywork is shaped by a lifetime spent inside demanding systems, athletics, strength training, military service, and business, where performance, resilience, and recovery are not abstract ideas, but daily requirements. I was a competitive baseball player before spending years training as a bodybuilder, powerlifter, and Olympic lifter. Those experiences gave me a firsthand understanding of how the body adapts under load, how compensation develops, and how easily performance breaks down when stability and recovery are overlooked.
Military
I later served as a Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technician, working in high-stress, high-consequence environments where physical and neurological readiness mattered every day. That experience deepened my respect for the nervous system’s role in perception, coordination, and decision-making under pressure, insights that continue to inform how I work with the body today.
Business Owner
Outside of fitness and service, I was also a business owner, helping build Late Night Slice and Oddfellows Liquor Bar in Columbus, Ohio. Running businesses taught me discipline, accountability, and how to create systems that function reliably under real-world demands, principles I bring into my work with clients.
