About Zachary Flick, LMT
Interested in learning more?
Since 2003, Zachary has been providing massage therapy and logged more than 10,000 hours of chair massage alone. He has built a practice on using a variety of modalities, experience in practical application, and intuition when utilizing these techniques. While being considered a “fixer” by many, he is also comfortable in providing a relaxing massage to just allow the body to unwind and reset.

Zachary has an office in Clive where he practices work on a table in a private setting. The table allows for a great deal more flexibility in treating areas of concern like low back and legs, while the relaxed environment is soothing to the mind and spirit. However, sometimes acute issues like headaches and tense shoulders need to be treated immediately which is why he has always strived to make himself available in the workplace setting by providing abbreviated sessions to treat specific problems.

While offering the basic Swedish and Deep Tissue techniques most are familiar with, Zachary has become specialized in two dynamic forms of massage: Neuromuscular Therapy and Myofascial Release. He has realized while these are typically presented in separate formats, they actually work quite well in tandem. This integration allows for a quick and more complete release of restrictions and pain. He calls this approach "Multi-Dimensional Release Technique" (MDRT). MDRT is a unique technique which Zachary has developed personally over his career and has been teaching this form to other therapists since 2010.

Zachary is the proud parent of his son, Ethan, and daughters, Mary and Genevieve. His wife, Olive, also shares not only their home, but an office in the same suite where she offers sound healings and private yoga sessions. He helps education-based programs at Hubbell Elementary, volunteers as a Cub Scout Den Leader, and has worked with Habitat for Humanity on six homes. An Iowa native, Zach spent the first 20 years in Cedar Falls before moving to Des Moines in 2000 to attend the College of Massage and Healing Arts.

Zachary is also happy to offer his practice at the Des Luxe Hotel located downtown DSM as well as chair massage contracting through his other business, Elite Mobile Massage. His on-site clients have included some of the biggest employers in the state like PFG, EMC, & Nationwide, to smaller operations such as LMC, AMC, & DMU and even local businesses with just a few employees.
