Looking for relief that actually respects the realities of chronic pain? Meet Austin Aragon of Collective Wellness, a local practitioner who specializes in supporting people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility, headaches, and complex regional pain syndrome. We dive into how gentle, precise work—craniosacral therapy and lymphatic drainage—can calm the nervous system, reduce swelling, and create sustainable progress without overwhelming sensitive tissues.

Austin shares the origin story of Collective Wellness, co-founded with his wife, Indigo, who also lives with EDS. Their philosophy is clear: massage isn’t a cure-all, and real change comes from steady, informed care. You’ll hear why subtle techniques can unlock big results for chronic headaches and flare management, how pacing and simple home routines reinforce session gains, and what realistic progress looks like week to week. Austin also opens up about an unexpected career path through road construction, school security, and kung fu instruction—and how body mechanics and mindfulness from martial arts shape safer, more effective sessions.

We also get practical about finding help. Collective Wellness reaches clients through Facebook, neighborhood platforms, and local flyers, keeping the human connection at the center. If you’ve felt dismissed or pushed into one-size-fits-all treatments, this conversation offers a grounded alternative: specialized massage that pairs expertise with patience, and partners with you for long-term stability.
