Pain Relief, Myofascial Release & Holistic Healing in Los Angeles

As a soft tissue rehab specialist, my passion lies in helping individuals find alternative pathways to healing, restoring hope, and empowering them on their recovery journey. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness the transformation in clients as they realize they’re no longer trapped by pain.
Utilizing Advanced Muscle Reconstruction techniques and corrective exercises, I precisely target and relax specific tissues, addressing deeper concerns to alleviate pain and enhance mobility. Through personalized care, I aim to provide not just relief, but a comprehensive understanding of the body’s potential to heal and thrive.


I’m Joern, an engineer-turned-bodyworker who helps people reconnect with their bodies through fascia-based realignment and nervous system regulation.
My journey began with a back injury at 15 and years of pushing through pain and disconnection. I built a career in corporate America, but behind the scenes my body was shutting down – chronic flare-ups shrank my world until something had to change.
That’s when I met Jimmy. Through hands-on work, inner healing, and his guidance, I found my way back to alignment – physically, emotionally, and energetically. Today, I support others in that same return – utilizing Advanced Muscle Reconstruction, one layer at a time.


Bringing over 20 years of experience as a Massage Therapist and Esthetician, I am deeply committed to holistic healing, which truly shines through in my practice.
Advanced Muscles Reconstruction – AMR™ has elevated my practice, enabling me to create transformative wellness experiences that focus on emotional and physical balance. My personalized approach alleviates pain while empowering clients to embrace self-care as a vital part of their healing journey, restoring well-being and helping them regain control of their health and happiness.

Hello, I’m Antonio Rodriguez, a Licensed Massage Therapist specializing in stress-relief and relaxation techniques. My mission is assisting clients in reducing chronic pain and correcting muscle dysfunction. I took Advance Muscle Reconstruction with Jimmy because the results he produces for clients are amazing. After experiencing a session myself, I fell in love with the body work and wanted to bring that to my hometown.

Hi, I’m Pauline, founder of Advanced Bodywork with Pauline.
While I may have started my massage therapy career later in life, helping people get out of pain has been my calling since high school. For more than 21 years, I have dedicated my practice to understanding the root causes of my clients’ discomfort rather than simply treating symptoms. My passion for learning led me to study Advanced Muscle Reconstruction, allowing me to provide more effective and lasting results.
Becoming AMR Certified has taken my practice to the next level, giving me the tools to help clients achieve deeper healing and lasting change. It has allowed me to do what I always believed was possible—help people move better, feel better, and live with less pain.
In my spare time, I enjoy in-line skating and swing dancing.
At Advanced Bodywork with Pauline, my goal is to partner with you on your healing journey. Together, we can create positive change and help you return to the activities you love.

Hi, I’m Vern Derksen, and I practice in Manitoba, Canada.
I’ve been fascinated by the human body for as long as I can remember. From a young age, bodybuilding became more than a hobby—it became a lifelong passion and an ongoing study of how the body moves, adapts, grows stronger, and recovers. Over the years, I’ve competed in bodybuilding, worked as a personal trainer and coach, and spent years working in hospital rehabilitation, where I helped people regain movement and independence after injury while also working with individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities. Those experiences deepened my understanding of movement, function, and how the right approach can make a meaningful difference in someone’s quality of life.
That lifelong passion ultimately led me to Advanced Muscle Reconstruction™ with Jimmy Bluff. It gave me a powerful framework to bring together everything I’ve learned over the years into a precise, results-focused approach to treatment.
My clients know me for my honest, no-nonsense approach. I’ll always tell you what I see, explain why it’s happening, and work with you to create lasting change. I believe every treatment should have a purpose by focusing on the root cause rather than simply chasing symptoms. My goal is to help you restore function, reduce pain, and get back to living the life you enjoy.

I’m Melisa Davis, the practitioner behind Intuitive Body Balance, where I combine my experience in massage therapy, Advanced Muscle Reconstruction, Body Code, Emotion Code, and intuitive bodywork to create a deeply personalized healing experience. My approach goes beyond simply addressing where you hurt. I look at the body as a whole—how it moves, how it holds tension, where restrictions may be creating imbalance, and how different areas of the body can affect one another.
With Advanced Muscle Reconstruction, I work with the body’s structure and myofascial system to help release restrictions, improve alignment, restore movement, and support the body in functioning more naturally. My intuitive work allows me to listen with my hands, awareness and intention. Every body is different. Every story is different. And every session is guided by what your body needs.
My purpose is to help you reconnect with your body, release what no longer serves you, and find your way back to balance. Because healing isn’t just about feeling better for a moment. It’s about creating balance within the body so you can move, feel, and live differently.

I’m a proud Marine Corps veteran with a deep love for the out doors. and a strong faith in Jesus Christ who guides how I live and serve others.
Through my business Muscle Function Therapy I’m able to combine my hands-on skills with a genuine desire to restore strength, mobility, and quality of life utilizing Advanced Muscle Reconstruction, Strength and Jesus. Whether I’m working with clients or I’m in the woods with Tilly I’m driven by purpose, service, and a commitment to making a positive difference in the livesof my clients.

I am a Licensed massage therapist with 10+ years of experience helping active professionals prevent injury, improve performance, and recover faster. Sports recovery, mobility, and lymphatic health are my specialties with AMR being a big part of my practice

With over 20 years of experience and a Master’s Degree in Physical Education, I am a top authority in rehabilitation, injury prevention, and performance training.
My expertise is rooted in both advanced science and a rare personal edge: after surviving a life-threatening illness and undergoing multiple major surgeries, I relearned to walk and rebuilt my body from the ground up—an experience that forged my profound understanding of resilience, recover and the mental grit required to excel under pressure.

I graduated with a business degree in 2011 but soon realized it wasn’t my true path. While running a chiropractic office, I saw firsthand how alternative medicine transforms lives. With guidance from a mentor, I pursued massage therapy at QCC in Bayside, graduating in 2016. During this time, I discovered Jimmy Bluff and AMR – Advanced Muscle Reconstruction™ on Instagram, setting my goal to become a practitioner of this transformative method.
Working with Holocaust survivors taught me that trauma is universal and healing begins with connection. Through Advanced Muscle Reconstruction, I create a space for clients to heal, blending effective bodywork with compassion.
