Welcoming Dawn Whittington, LMT to Advanced Sports Chiropractic and Massage

  • August 1, 2025

We are excited to welcome Dawn Whittington, LMT to Advanced Sports Chiropractic and Massage in Bellingham.

Dawn brings a lifelong passion for health, wellness, and helping others thrive.

"With a strong foundation in fitness and holistic health, I believe in the body’s remarkable ability to heal," Dawn says, "Especially when given the space to rest, reset, and restore."

A Personalized Approach to Healing

As an intuitive massage therapist with a deep understanding of anatomy and body mechanics, Dawn tailors every session to meet each client where they are in their wellness journey. She focuses on identifying the root cause of pain or dysfunction and uses therapeutic touch to calm the nervous system and support the body’s natural healing process.
Her skills span a wide range of techniques, including:

  • Swedish Massage for relaxation
  • Range of Motion Techniques
  • Tapotement and Vibration Techniques
  • Deep Tissue Massage
  • Trigger Point Therapy
  • Myofascial Release
  • Cupping
  • Neuromuscular Therapy

A Path Shaped by Personal Experience

Dawn’s journey into massage therapy became deeply personal after a major line-of-duty injury left her with limited arm mobility. Through therapeutic massage, she achieved a complete, pain-free recovery, an experience that inspired her to dedicate her career to helping others find similar relief and healing.

Rooted in Community

A proud Whatcom County resident for over 16 years, Dawn serves in the Army National Guard as a musician and has studied trumpet for more than 30 years. Her dedication to community extends beyond her practice: she has played recreational soccer and has a background in law enforcement and homeless advocacy, experiences that have deepened her sense of resilience, compassion, and human connection.

Life Beyond the Clinic

When not working with clients or fulfilling her military duties, Dawn can often be found outdoors - backpacking, biking, trail running, hiking, or playing soccer. She’s usually accompanied by her beloved Mini Aussiedoodle, Koda. Whether in the clinic or out in nature, Dawn brings a grounded presence, a servant’s heart, and a commitment to lifelong learning.

We are thrilled for Dawn to join our team and look forward to the care and expertise she brings to the Bellingham community.
