Blake Deloach

A rocket-propelled grenade struck his vehicle and he lost his sight as a result of the blast.
 
Blake went through a lengthy rehabilitation process that included learning to live independently with vision loss. He has obtained his certification as a personal trainer, became a Powerlifter, competing in local and regional meets.
 
Blake was aware of how massage therapy helped not only his lifting but his overall health.  After getting a Graston technique massage at Aerial Bodies he was inspired to enroll in the massage therapy program at Palm Beach State, where he is currently a student.  Blake is a firm believer in the benefit of massage therapy and he looks forward to sharing that with his clients.
