STRIKE Stretching & Massage

About Strike Stretching & Massage

Welcome to Strike Stretching & Massage. My name is William, and since 2009 I have been licensed in Massage Therapy in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Washington. My passion is helping people move better, recover naturally, and regain confidence in their bodies through advanced stretching and therapeutic bodywork techniques.

At Strike Stretching, every session is designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and stay pain-free—whether you’re enjoying an active island lifestyle in the Florida Keys or simply looking to move through daily life with greater ease and comfort.

I specialize in advanced massage therapy and assisted stretching techniques that go beyond the typical spa experience. Sessions are focused on corrective bodywork, mobility improvement, recovery, and long-term wellness—not simply relaxation. A large part of treatment focuses on improving movement, restoring flexibility, and safely challenging the body’s structure through guided range of motion exercises and assisted stretching methods.

One of my greatest passions is working with both fresh and long-standing injuries, post-surgical recovery and joint replacements, chronic pain conditions, stiffness, and limited mobility caused by everyday wear and tear. During your session, you will also have the opportunity to learn self-treatment techniques through Active Isolated Stretching so you can continue improving between appointments and maintain your progress long term.

To support recovery and performance, sessions may incorporate a combination of:

Active Isolated Stretching
Sports Massage
Deep Tissue Massage
Assisted Stretching Techniques
Lymphatic Drainage Massage

During treatment, you’ll develop practical knowledge to help maintain improved range of motion (ROM), flexibility, and strength long after the session ends. These techniques are also an excellent way to decompress the entire human frame, reduce tension, improve circulation, and restore natural movement patterns throughout the body.

Strike Stretching & Massage is currently an in-home and mobile-only service. Treatments are provided directly at homes, vacation rentals, and resorts throughout the Florida Keys for clients seeking professional therapy in a comfortable and convenient environment.

Travel is included for:

90-minute sessions or longer
Two or more clients at the same location

For sessions under 90 minutes, additional out-of-area travel fees may apply:

Islamorada & Lower Upper Keys — $40
Key Largo & Upper Keys — $75

As Aaron Mattes said:

“If you think you can, you probably can. If you think you can’t, you probably won’t.”

That philosophy is reflected in every session at Strike Stretching & Massage—helping clients restore movement, improve recovery, and achieve more than they thought possible.

  William is an incredible massage therapist. I get massages monthly, and have gotten them all over the world, and he's truely one of the best. Firm enough to do the job, but not that you're wincing in pain.

  I have been under a lot of physical and mental stress lately so my daughter decided to surprise me with a massage.  I can honestly say this was the best massage that I have ever had.  It helped my tension headaches, hip pain etc… I only wished I lived here full-time to get on schedule more frequently.

  I was in need of a therapeutic massage to help with acute muscle strain and symptoms related to sciatica. I am grateful that I found William. He is highly professional and skilled. He carefully listened to my needs and concerns and tailored his approach to meet my needs. My muscle pain, spasms and nerve pain were greatly diminished following a one hour massage with him. I returned a week later with hopes of solidifying the positive effects of treatment and again found the massage very therapeutic and beneficial. I appreciate his professional, friendly and kind approach. Thanks so much William!

  I was recently referred to William by my friend and personal trainer as I’m always trying to keep my body from falling apart I usually get a massage 3-4 times a month for relief.   Finding somebody consistent in the keys had been a challenge.  I have to say, the combination of stretching and massage from William is fantastic. He will make house calls with no additional charge.   William has deep knowledge of anatomy and is great at finding the tough spots.  Had a home massage the other day by the pool and when my wife got home she wanted one too. Even she was impressed by Williams’s skill and knowledge.  If your just visiting the keys, or in need of a great massage and relief, I wholeheartedly recommend William

  As a physician, I wanted to improve my own physical strength and conditioning, so I started doing Pilates about 5 years ago.  I was getting frustrated by the slow rate of my progression.  As the saying goes “ When the student is ready, the teacher will appear”.   I was fortunate to meet William and was introduced to Active Isolated Stretching for the very first time.  I was immediately taken by his attention to me as a person and his ability to quickly assess the strengths and limitations of my body with respect to its strength, flexibility and range of motion.  He is an avid fisherman and this has shaped his character as he has learned so many important life lessons which carry over to his occupation as a therapist.  He has transformed my understanding of the benefits of stretching and the integral role it plays in strengthening muscles!  He will REEL you in with his acumenical skill, but you will be HOOKED and keep coming back because of how he makes you FEEL!

  William is an experienced, knowledgeable and compassionate provider. He listens to your issues and concerns, discusses a corrective plan and explains each aspect in terms that anyone can understand. I found him to be encouraging and supportive throughout each of our sessions. He effortlessly managed my expectations and made sure to point out improvements and progress along the way. My surgical rehab was greatly progressed with William’s program and assistance. No issue is too big or too small that William can’t provide you a path that aide's in your own recovery.
