Kirkland Recovery Protocol
Break up adhesions
When muscles are locked in one position for hours, the tissues literally glue themselves together. I use myofascial release, deep tissue pressure, and trigger point therapy to manually un-stick these adhesions.
Turn off the alarm
Chronic pain is often your nervous system overreacting to stimuli. Targeted pressure sends new, safe signals to your brain, forcing the neurological "alarm bells" to quiet down.
Restore Blood Flow
Tight, congested tissue chokes off its own blood supply. Once unglued, oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood floods back in, accelerating cellular repair and flushing out waste.
Restore Range of Motion
Finally, I use pin-and-stretch techniques to recalibrate the muscle to its proper length. You’ll leave the table able to move without fighting your own body.
Meet Your Clinician
Dan Schrader
Founder & Clinical Specialist
As an independent, locally-owned practice, I built Back Mechanics to provide Kirkland & the Greater Eastside with a standard of clinical grade care and convenience that day spas and franchises simply cannot match. From your first intake form to your final session, you will work exclusively with me.
What to expect
Online Booking: You secure your time slot and handle the flat-rate payment online, and I'll email you a quick intake form to fill out. If something comes up, don't sweat it—you can reschedule for free up to 1 hour before I arrive.
Punctual Arrival: I show up at precisely your scheduled time. We’ll take a couple of minutes to chat about your specific pain points and figure out exactly what needs fixing that day.
Total Privacy: I’ll step into your restroom to wash my hands, giving you complete privacy to undress to your comfort level (underwear is usually best) and get comfortable under the blanket on the table.
Collaborative Treatment: I rely heavily on your feedback about the pressure I’m using and the sensations you’re feeling. I’ll check in periodically during the session to adjust the technique and ensure we are effectively releasing the tension.
Seamless Exit: Once we're done, I step out again so you can get dressed. Because everything is paid for upfront, there’s no lingering, no tipping, and no awkward checkout. I just pack up and say goodbye, and let you get on with your day.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Me. Dan Schrader. I am the sole owner and operator of Back Mechanics. When you book an appointment, I am the only person who will ever show up at your door. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and also hold a Master of Information Science from the University of Washington. Learn more about me >
-
It is designed to be completely frictionless. I arrive, take exactly 3 minutes to set up the table, we conduct your treatment, and I pack up in 3 minutes. I respect your calendar, so the timeframe you book is the exact timeframe I am in your home, down to the minute.
-
I need a 5x9 foot space to set up the table and move around it effectively. If you don't have a tape measure handy, this is roughly the size of a standard area rug, or the space created just by pushing your coffee table away from your couch. I can easily make almost any living room work!
-
Absolutely everything. I bring a professional-grade heated table, fresh linens, chemical-free lotion, music, and dedicated indoor-only shoes to protect your floors. You don't need to provide a single thing.
-
Pressure is entirely customized to your needs and tolerance, ranging from very light to very heavy. Because I train to maintain top-tier physical strength, I am capable of delivering the heavy, sustained, deep-tissue pressure required to release stubborn chronic tension without my hands burning out.
-
While my specialty is targeting the chronic neck and back pain caused by desk work, I can assess and treat any musculoskeletal pain you are experiencing.
-
Your physical and psychological comfort is my absolute top priority. I am a licensed, thoroughly vetted clinical professional. If you are ever uncomfortable with the traditional massage setup (underwear beneath a blanket), you always have the option to remain fully dressed in comfortable athletic clothing for the entirety of your treatment.
-
It is a common question, mostly because the traditional spa industry markets massage as "pampering." That is not what I do. Back Mechanics is outcome-driven bodywork. Think of it less like a spa day and more like visiting a physical therapist. When you are trying to fix a mechanical issue in your neck or back from sitting at a desk all day, you just need the practitioner with the right expertise, leverage, and clinical pressure to get the job done.
-
No, I do not directly bill health insurance. To keep things straightforward and my pricing entirely transparent, I operate strictly as a direct-pay provider. However, if your health plan includes out-of-network massage benefits, I am happy to provide a detailed receipt that you can submit directly to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
-
$175 flat (or $125 for new clients with code WELCOME50). I don't believe in hidden fees, contracts, or checkout surprises. This price includes your treatment, all travel fees, taxes, and gratuity. The price you see is exactly what you pay.
-
Meetings run late and life happens. You can cancel or reschedule your appointment online up to 1 hour before our scheduled start time entirely for free by following the link at the bottom of your appointment confirmation email. View Cancellation Policy >
