Pain Relief Specialist · Three Decades of Hands-On Experience
Trained at Shanghai University of TCMEdman holds formal academic training from Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine — one of China's most established institutions for the study of traditional bodywork, meridian therapy, and Eastern therapeutic principles. Since graduating, he has spent over thirty years applying that foundation in daily practice as a massage therapist, focused exclusively on therapeutic massage and bodywork.
Among the eight therapists at Redwood Health Center, Edman is the most senior. Three decades is rare in this profession — many therapists move on to other careers after five or six years. The depth of pattern recognition that comes with thirty years of daily practice is something that cannot be shortcut.
The kind of tightness that comes back every Monday after a weekend's rest. Edman's approach combines deep tissue release with classical pressure-point work along the meridian lines.
Lower back issues that have not responded to other treatment. Edman works methodically through the connective tissue, often finding the source of pain several layers below where it is felt.
Sprains, falls, repetitive strain — discomfort the body has been carrying for years. Edman's classical training gives him a different lens on how the body holds and releases stored tension.
For clients who say 'I want it deep' and mean it. Edman's pressure is consistent, controlled, and adjusted in real time to your body's response.
Edman is methodical. He spends the first five minutes asking specific questions about where you hold tension, when it began, and what makes it worse. He works at a steady, deliberate pace — never rushed. Pressure can be adjusted at any point, and he checks in without breaking flow.
