Every detail of my service — from the flat-rate booking to the rapid setup — is designed to resolve your pain while respecting your calendar.
-
Lock in your complete session upfront to eliminate the hassle of hidden fees and tip screens. Your flat-rate payment covers everything, including gratuity, taxes, and travel fees, while giving you the freedom to self-reschedule online up to 1 hour prior.
-
Protect your schedule with to-the-minute punctuality and a rapid three-minute setup. Once I arrive, we will quickly discuss your pain and map out a personalized treatment plan for your session without wasting a single minute.
-
Maintain complete privacy while I step into the restroom to prep. You can take your time undressing to your comfort level (athletic shorts or underwear are best) and getting comfortably settled under the blanket before we begin.
-
Achieve real structural change through targeted, deep tissue techniques that release your locked-up tissue. We will communicate frequently to find your exact "therapeutic edge," ensuring maximum relief without triggering your nervous system's alarm bells.
-
Resume your workday instantly with a frictionless, 3-minute pack-up. Since your payment was handled online, you completely skip the awkward living-room checkout and tip screens while I step out for you to dress in private.
-
Eliminate all financial risk with my straightforward, outcome-driven guarantee. If your original pain hasn't noticeably decreased after 48 hours, simply text me at (425) 699-3218 for a full refund — no hoops to jump through, because I don't believe I deserve your payment unless I relieve your pain.
Know exactly who is coming to your door
Work exclusively with me from your first intake form to your final session, ensuring a safe, consistent, and professional experience every single time.
Dan Schrader | Founder & Clinical Specialist
As a former tech worker turned therapist with Olympic Sport & Spine, I understand the physical toll of your desk job firsthand, and I have the clinical expertise to resolve it.
-
I hold a Master's degree in Information Science from the University of Washington and spent years designing premium health and fitness services for corporate clients like Google. When a layoff ended my UX career, I pivoted entirely to clinical bodywork. I graduated from the Northwest Academy for Healing Arts in 2024 and spent a year treating chronic pain and rehabilitating soft-tissue injuries alongside physical therapists at Olympic Sport & Spine before founding Back Mechanics in May 2026.
-
My absolute specialty is delivering the sustained, moderate to heavy pressure required to actually release a locked-up neck and lower back. However, deep tissue does not mean ignoring your comfort. We will constantly communicate to find your exact "therapeutic edge"—scaling pressure from light to incredibly heavy based on your tolerance. I utilize targeted deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and pin-and-stretch techniques to break up stubborn myofascial adhesions, increase blood flow, reduce tension on compressed nerves and overworked muscles, and lengthen shortened muscles to restore your range of motion.
-
My time as in UX Researcher left me obsessed with the customer experience. My business philosophy is entirely outcome-driven: I am not here to extract money from you; I am here to deliver the maximum possible value to your physical health. I simply do not believe I deserve your payment unless I actually reduce your pain levels. That is exactly why I operate with transparent, flat-rate pricing and back every single session with a 100% money-back guarantee.

FAQs
-
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. Explore my specialities >
-
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 or add ons. 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. If you need to cancel within 1-hour, please call me and we’ll work something out. See my cancellation policy >
