Adam Konz, Licensed Massage Therapist, was born in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to a park ranger for a dad and a registered nurse for a mom. He was raised in East Tennessee, having lived in Gatlinburg, Chattanooga, and Knoxville. Adam graduated from West High School, where he enjoyed being part of the soccer team. He began his professional education at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, earning his Bachelor of Social Work degree in 2013. While building a career as a counselor, he came to realize that his growing interest in the medical field was worth pursuing. He completed a degree in Clinical Massage Therapy from Arbor College in 2018. After graduating, he took an opportunity to work in an integrated clinic- working closely with chiropractors, nurse practitioners, and physical therapists. This experience of being on a multidisciplinary team was very influential to Adam’s outlook on healthcare. As a result, he has been a licensed Chiropractic Therapy Assistant since 2019, which has greatly informed his massage practice.
Adam is committed to continuing education, having received training in: Thai, Sports, and chair massage, cupping, and the stretching/strengthening of muscles. These learning environments sculpted a unique understanding of musculoskeletal function, as well as the mind/body relationship. Adam pulls from this knowledge base to create goal-oriented, individualized plans of care. His treatments use a range of pressure and techniques to assess and treat the muscles of the body. His main intentions are to provide relief to our hard working muscles and joints, and promote healing circulation.
Adam joined the Apple Healthcare Family in 2021 and is motivated every day by his coworkers’ passion for helping others. For recreation, he can be found playing guitar, spending time in the kitchen, or soaking up nature’s beauty (preferably via kayak).
