Hello and Welcome to Total Difference Bodywork
AN INTRODUCTION
Total Difference Bodywork is the massage and bodywork endeavor of me, Eric Whitten, LMT. I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist in Arizona since 1994, and in Virginia since 2023. Other State licenses have been in place as needed in the past in Maryland, Delaware, and North Carolina.
My massage is largely anatomy-based, rather than energy-based. A good thorough massage revives your body and your mind from the effects of sport, work, and life.
Currently offering "housecalls" to your location in Arizona and in-studio appointments in Virginia. Discounts apply for couples' appointments and if you have your own table and sheets. I accept cash, charge cards via Square Up, and the payment app Zelle.
See the page of your State for scheduling details. See you soon!
