Butch Phelps is a Functional Massage Therapist, Certified Health Coach, and the founder of The Muscle Repair Shop. As the creator of the revolutionary Stretch n’ Release Technique and author of the award-winning book, Stretch n’ Release!, he offers a pioneering approach to resolving chronic pain and restoring freedom of movement.
With over two decades of experience in muscle science, strength training, and flexibility, combined with studies in Aging Sciences at the University of South Florida, Butch brings a unique and holistic perspective to his practice. His work is centered on the groundbreaking discovery that muscles are not just physical but are also deeply connected to emotional and mental stress. This mind-muscle connection is the key to unlocking the stiffness and pain that conventional methods often fail to address.
Through The Muscle Repair Shop, Butch's mission is to empower individuals to move freely and age with less pain. He equips his clients with the self-care tools and personalized health strategies needed to manage their own well-being, helping them build a life with more energy, less pain, and lasting freedom.
