Jeffrey A Lutz - LMT, CMTPT
Licensed Massage Therapist
Lic. No: MSG002945
Board Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapist
Cert. No: R802005

The Pain Treatment & Wellness Center was founded in December 2001 in Greensburg, PA by Jeff Lutz, CMTPT to aid those suffering from muscular pain.

Since then, the practice has grown to what it is today - a moderately sized myotherapy/massage clinic which thrives on physician and word-of-mouth referrals.

Because Jeff has suffered illness that was not easily diagnosed by the medical community, he understands the frustrations endured by chronic pain patients. Compassionate and caring pain relief is what this practice was founded on and is promised to all patients/clients.

John Casciato - LMT, CMTPT
Licensed Massage Therapist
Lic. No: MSG001973

John is another perfect example of how people find themselves in the field of helping others. John's hobby of competitive power lifting led him to see massage therapists and chiropractors to help mitigate the strain of the sport. Because of the amount of help this therapy has provided to him, he decided to leave his then current occupation in construction and woodworking, and pursue a career in massage therapy.

After completing massage therapy training and licensing, he noted that one of his instructors used different assessment and treatment techniques than he had learned and soon discovered the effectiveness of that modality. He immediately enrolled into another program for training in Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy and will graduate from that program in June of 2012.

While he may not be available any longer to fix up your basement, he is now at your disposal to help fix your muscle discomfort. Once you meet him, we are sure you will understand why he is great at his new career!
