About Timothy Schimick
Timothy Schimick, LMT, MSOM, brings 30 years of experience in advanced therapeutic and structural bodywork, helping clients relieve pain and restriction, restore movement, and maintain mobility and healthy function. A U.S. Navy veteran, endurance runner, and Ironman finisher, his understanding of the body has been shaped by both clinical practice and lived experience.
Tim has spent nearly thirty years asking the same question: why does the body hold onto what hurts it, and what does it need to let go?
His training began at the Utah College of Massage Therapy in Salt Lake City, where he graduated in 1998 and stayed on as an instructor for three years, teaching Deep Tissue Bodywork, Craniosacral Therapy, and the 10-Session System of Structural Integration developed by Dr. Ida Rolf. What started as professional training became a lifelong inquiry into how structure shapes experience, and how experience shapes structure. That inquiry eventually led him back to school, where he earned a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in 2014.
His clients span a wide range: professional athletes navigating the structural effects of training, people recovering from injury or surgery, and, most often, people living with chronic pain and stress that haven't responded to conventional approaches. His work has included athletes from the PGA, NBA, MLB, and Ironman. What they share is a body that has been asking for something different. Tim's approach is to listen for what that is, working with the structure rather than on it, and creating the conditions for the body to resolve what it has been holding.
As a lifelong athlete (cross-country runner, marathon competitor, and Ironman finisher), Tim understands the relationship between physical demand and structural consequence from the inside. But his work has never been primarily about performance. It has always been about restoration: helping people return to a life they recognize, free from the limitations that have been keeping them from it.
Tim is also, by nature, a seeker. A two-week experience in the Peruvian rainforest working with plant medicine alongside a traditional shaman deepened his understanding of healing and reinforced a conviction he'd held for years: that structure and spirit are not separate systems. His practice reflects this. Clinically grounded and structurally precise, it remains open to the full range of what the body carries.
