Greg is a nationally certified licensed massage therapist as well as a certified SET therapist. He is a member of both the American Massage Therapy Association and the Florida State Massage Therapy Association. Greg practices Structural Energetic Therapy®. This is a body restructuring therapy that incorporates medical massage techniques and is based on the individual needs of the client. The SET therapist works from the client's problem areas and releases the specific areas of pain. Often, a structural imbalance is responsible for the soft tissue problems that cause the discomfort. The SET therapist restructures the body by releasing: the toxins and fluids in the muscles; inflammation; myofascial holding patterns; adhesions and scar tissue. Once the pain (usually the initial complaint) is reduced, the therapist works to release the other structural limitations that were responsible for allowing the body to maintain the structural imbalances that produced the pain. Greg Spindler is also a triathlon and distance running coach who has the personal experience of over 100 races. Whether your goal is to improve your fitness, to race or finish a marathon, triathlon, or an Ironman event, he can help by designing a goal-oriented program that matches your experience and current ability. From high school athletes to senior athletes, there are no limits. His goal is to expand your potential through smart training, body awareness, increased mental toughness, and by improving your ability to train and race from within. Greg is actively involved in the expansion and growth of the massage therapy profession. He opened Carolina Structural Energetic Therapy in May, 2006. He is an assistant instructor to Don McCann (founder of SET), a published author, and has appeared on local radio shows. Carolina Structural Energetic Therapy is located at 107 Memorial Drive in Greer, SC 29650.
