Peter Langsdorf has been a Licensed Massage Therapist in Virginia since 2018, graduating from the Potomac Massage Training Institute in Silver Spring, MD, where he subsequently served as an instructor for a range of practical and academic subjects. He comes to massage therapy as a second career, having previously worked as a federal records manager.

Peter’s approach to massage recognizes that different bodies have different needs, and looks at the broader complexities of the body as interconnected, dynamic systems. As such, he’s cultivated a variety of tools and techniques, having been trained in neuromuscular (trigger point) therapy, manual lymph drainage, myofascial release, and somatic movement techniques, in addition to a strong grounding in Swedish and deep tissue massage. Peter believes strongly in leveraging massage therapy to increase body awareness, to go beyond treating an immediate problem by improving long-term function. Much of his work has centered around working with clients who are managing chronic pain, or in post-injury rehabilitation.

When not in the treatment room, Peter enjoys camping, climbing, and board games. His passion for anatomy and physiology also extends to four-legged creatures: he’s dabbled in canine massage, and enjoys practicing with his two in-house clients, Kira and Odyssey.

Peter is a professional member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals.
