Founder of Unwind Massage and Bodywork
I’m Bobby Ward II, a licensed massage and bodywork therapist with over six years of hands-on experience in helping clients relieve pain, release tension, and reconnect with their bodies. Born and raised in Eastern North Carolina, my journey into massage therapy was rooted in a lifelong fascination with how the body works—and how it heals. Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to creating transformative experiences that blend science, technique, and compassion, so every client feels not only cared for but also empowered in their own wellness journey.
From Student to Practitioner
Before founding Unwind Massage and Bodywork, I trained extensively and had the privilege of working alongside some of the best practitioners in the field. My time at Nuad Thai Therapy, where I spent two formative years, opened my eyes to the power of blending traditional Thai techniques with modern therapeutic practices. It was there that I honed my understanding of assisted stretching, deep compressions, and the delicate balance between intensity and relaxation. This background continues to shape my work today, giving me a broader set of tools to meet clients where they are and design sessions that truly address their needs.
Clients often describe the result as a “reset”—walking out taller, lighter, and more mobile than when they came in. For me, that’s the goal: to help every client leave the table feeling renewed and restored.
A Focus on Real Results
At Unwind, I believe massage should be more than a routine—it should deliver measurable results. That’s why my practice specializes in deep tissue massage and mobility-focused bodywork, particularly for clients managing chronic pain or recovering from long-term muscular imbalances. Whether it’s tight hips from sitting all day, shoulder strain from repetitive work, or lower back pain that just won’t seem to resolve, I work methodically to release restrictions, restore alignment, and bring lasting relief.
I’ve found that combining deep tissue therapy with targeted stretching creates a powerful synergy. Deep tissue techniques allow me to melt through layers of tension, working into stubborn knots and adhesions, while assisted stretching retrains the body to move more freely. Clients often describe the result as a “reset”—walking out taller, lighter, and more mobile than when they came in. For me, that’s the goal: to help every client leave the table feeling renewed and restored in both body and mind.

Services That Reflect My Philosophy
The services I offer reflect this commitment to functional, therapeutic bodywork. Treatments like the Elite Therapeutic Experience and the Thermal Stone Stretch Ritual aren’t just about relaxation—they’re designed to restore movement, improve posture, and create long-term change. With each session, I draw from a variety of techniques—deep compressions, hot stone therapy, reflexology, or Thai-style stretching—so that no two experiences are exactly alike.
I also believe in tailoring each service to the individual. Before I begin, I take the time to understand your needs, your goals, and even your lifestyle. Are you an athlete recovering from intense training? A professional managing stress and long hours at a desk? Or someone simply looking for a restorative reset? My role is to adapt the tools I’ve learned to fit you—not to fit you into a template.

Commitment to Professionalism
A Standard of CareCommitment to Professionalism
As a licensed massage and bodywork therapist, I approach every session with a balance of professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. Massage is not just physical—it’s an act of trust.
I take that responsibility seriously, creating an environment where you feel safe, respected, and supported. My clients know they can count on me to bring both expertise and empathy to the table, whether the goal is pain relief, mobility, or deep relaxation.
Why I Do This Work
Releasing The Root of The PainWhy I Do This Work
At its core, massage is about connection: helping people reconnect with their bodies, and through that, reconnect with their lives. I’ve seen firsthand how chronic pain can hold people back, keeping them from doing the things they love. And I’ve also seen how the right kind of bodywork can unlock freedom—freedom of movement, freedom from tension, and freedom to live more fully.
That’s why I started Unwind Massage and Bodywork: to create a space dedicated not just to feeling good for an hour, but to creating meaningful change that lasts.
Moving Forward Together
Restore • Renew • RefreshMoving Forward Together
Every session with me is an invitation to move better, feel better, and live better. Whether you’re here for a focused therapeutic treatment, a stretching-based session like Stretch and Unwind, or a restorative experience such as Sole Revival Reflexology, my mission is the same: to guide you toward greater balance, resilience, and well-being.
I’m proud to serve the community here in North Carolina and grateful for every client who chooses Unwind Massage and Bodywork as part of their wellness journey. Together, we can work toward not just relief, but renewal—a stronger, healthier version of yourself.
I help clients relieve pain, restore balance, and reconnect with their bodies through expert massage and bodywork. –Bobby Ward II, LMBT

Massage is often thought of as a luxury—something you book for a special occasion, a spa day, or when you simply want to de-stress.
Stretching is one of the simplest yet most powerful ways to keep the body moving well. But if you’ve ever tried to maintain a regular stretching routine on your own, you probably know how easy it is to skip it—or how difficult it can be to get into certain positions safely and effectively.
When most people hear the words deep tissue massage, they imagine one thing: pressure. While pressure is certainly part of it, true deep tissue massage is about much more than just “going deep.”
