Zakk Dodge, RMT, is a Registered Massage Therapist with a strong background in strength training, movement, and physical performance. Prior to becoming an RMT, Zakk spent more than five years as a Certified Personal Trainer with GoodLife Fitness, including working directly with members at this Square One location. During that time, he helped clients improve their strength, fitness, movement, and overall physical capacity.

Zakk brings this experience into his massage therapy practice with an individualized and goal-oriented approach to care. Whether addressing muscular tension and discomfort, supporting recovery from training, improving mobility, or simply helping patients feel and move better, his focus is on understanding each patient’s needs and tailoring treatment accordingly.

A graduate of Kikkawa College’s Massage Therapy program, Zakk’s clinical education included anatomy, physiology, pathology, assessment, and hands-on therapeutic techniques. His combined background in massage therapy and strength and conditioning gives him a valuable perspective when working with active individuals, recreational athletes, gym-goers, and anyone looking to maintain a healthy, strong, and capable body.

Zakk believes effective care should be collaborative, practical, and specific to the individual. His goal is to provide every patient with a professional and comfortable treatment experience while helping them move well, recover effectively, and continue doing the activities that matter most to them.

Dr. Rob Villa is a chiropractor whose practice is built around assessment-driven care, structured rehabilitation, and long-term capacity building, rather than quick fixes or passive, symptom-only treatment.

His clinical approach centers on understanding how joints move, how tissues tolerate load, and why pain or dysfunction develops when physical capacity is exceeded. Rather than relying on routine or repetitive care, Dr. Villa focuses on identifying the specific limitations in movement, strength, and control that contribute to a patient’s condition and then applying targeted interventions to drive meaningful adaptation.

A Structured, Systems-Based Approach

Care follows a clear clinical framework that progresses patients from detailed assessment, to rehabilitation, to recovery support, and ultimately toward higher levels of physical resilience and independence. Treatment is individualized and may include chiropractic adjustments, neuro-functional acupuncture, limited and targeted soft tissue therapy, red light therapy to support tissue recovery and tolerance, and prescribed rehabilitation or strength-based loading when appropriate.

Passive therapies are used intentionally to reduce pain and improve tolerance, but they are not viewed as curative on their own. Lasting improvement is achieved through building stronger, more resilient tissues via appropriately prescribed movement and loading, guided by ongoing reassessment and clinical oversight.

>Health is not maintained by constant treatment, but by building the capacity and resilience to move, train, and live with confidence.

Who This Approach Is Best Suited For

Dr. Villa treats one patient at a time and prioritizes education, accountability, and long-term planning over rushed visits or standardized treatment protocols. His approach is particularly well suited for individuals with persistent or recurrent pain, complex or multi-joint issues, and those seeking an evidence-based, movement-informed path from injury recovery to long-term physical capacity.

Patients who value understanding their body, participating actively in their recovery, and working toward durable improvements in function tend to see the best results with this approach.
