Meet Dr. Steven Cowser
“The body is always telling a story—I just have to figure out what it’s saying.”
Dr. Cowser found massage therapy by chance while still in school. After a session where someone worked on specific muscles, he noticed how much lighter he felt, especially in his lower back. It made him realize how much tension he had been carrying without knowing it.
That experience led him to explore massage further, starting with helping his mom manage pain and eventually working with other clients. Seeing the difference he could make through soft tissue work pushed him to keep learning and deepened his interest in movement, pain, and hands-on care.
Education and Certifications
Dr. Cowser earned his Doctor of Chiropractic from Logan University and continues to pursue advanced training to deliver highly personalized care. His certifications include the following:
- Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT) – McKenzie Method
- Neurodynamics (NDS)
- Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)
- Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)
- National Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB)
- Dry Needling (non-certification based training)
This broad foundation allows Dr. Cowser to integrate a variety of techniques tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
His Approach to Care
Dr. Cowser is known for listening deeply and evaluating thoroughly. His approach is holistic and practical. As he puts it, “If we have movement-based issues, we need movement-based solutions.” That’s precisely what he delivers—customized care rooted in real movement, clear goals, and long-term function.
From athletes to everyday patients, Dr. Cowser welcomes anyone who wants to move better, feel stronger, or return to something they love doing. You don’t need to be a weightlifter to work with him—but if you are, he’ll speak your language, too.
Life Outside the Clinic
Outside of work, Dr. Cowser stays active with CrossFit, weightlifting, yoga, rock climbing, dancing, and hiking. He and his fiancée love filling their schedules with different activities and enjoy the challenge of trying to do it all.
