He has presented keynote and plenary presentations at more than 75 medical conferences addressing an estimate of more than 50,000 medical doctors and scientists.
Dr Stoxens deep tissue treatments release the inflammation and toxins from muscles. He knew he could speed recovery and improve human performance if he had a tool that could plow out this inflammation from the area and vacuum in fresh oxygenated blood carrying nutrients to the tissues. He spent 6 years developing an incredible new treatment tool that does just that.
He called it the Massage Assist. Dr Stoxen uses the Massage Assist to relax the tension from the body. When the tension comes off the bodies spring system it restores spring back to his step easing his chronic pain and chronic fatigue. It not only eases muscle and joint pain, but helps to flush out the inflammation that contributes to accelerated aging of the cardiovascular and nervous system.
Many top athletes and celebrities look to Dr Stoxen’s Massage Assist to ease tension, pain and increase human performance. After patients purchase Dr Stoxen’s Massage Assist he doesnt see them as often and some dont return for treatment at all because they treat themselves with this incredible treatment tool.
Dr Stoxen’s Massage Assist is now in 100+ cities around the world including Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Koh Samui, Phuket, Munich, Kuala Lumpur, Ireland, Toronto, Brisbane, Mooloolaba, Melbourne, Sydney, Beijing, Seattle, San Diego, Niagara Falls, Houston, Los Angeles, Austin Texas, Boston, Manhattan, Indianapolis, Miami, Boca Raton, Las Vegas, Montana, Chicago, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hainan, and Manila Philippines.
In 1986, he started his medical professional career early, becoming a licensed chiropractic physician at the age of 24. Also in 1986 a top powerlifter asked Dr Stoxen to prepare him for national and world championship competitions. This was the early stages of the development of the component of the human spring approach with the goal of improving athletes performance. The approach functioned magnificently to reduce the risk of injuries by the earliest detection, intervention and prevention of abnormal spring stiffness. During the time Stoxen was assigned as Ed Coan’s personal chiropractor, he competed injury-free and went on to break 71 world powerlifting records. Now, Ed Coan isconsidered a legend and the greatest powerlifter of all time.

It was through the study of Verkhoshansky’s plyometric principles that Stoxen realized that doctors were studying, examining, treating, and advising patients based on a 340-year-old, outdated and flawed model of human movement: the inverted pendulum model. In the early 1990’s, he began theorizing the newest model of human movement: The Integrated Spring-Mass Model. The Integrated Spring-Mass Model is an advancement of the Spring-Mass Model proposed by Harvard University research scientists in 1989.
The Integrated Spring-Mass Model and Human Spring examination and treatment approach helped Dr. Stoxen achieve worldwide recognition and praise as a health and fitness expert, thought leader in the medical field. The integrated spring-mass model explains magnificently, how the body moves, absorbs collisions and recycles energy. It also explains how it engineers and maintains joint spaces. The most important application of the human spring model is how the body engineers open spaces and tunnels for the safe passage of blood vessels and nerves through the thoracic outlet and tunnel.
From 1986 – 1992, Dr Stoxen worked on athletes at over 60 national and world championships. It became his testing ground to test the Human Spring Approach on elite athletes. It is estimated that he has treated more than 500 national and world champions these national and world championships.
In 1991, seeing the importance of specialized active rehabilitation and training to strengthen the bodies spring system he designed and built one of the first active rehabilitation training centers in the world. From 1991 – 1993, Dr Stoxen’s sports medicine center grew from 500 new patients per year to 5,000 new patients per year requiring the addition of 9 chiropractors, two medical doctors and two physical therapists to handle the growing practice. At that time he had the number one and number two largest chiropractic centers in the world.
In 1993, Joe Weider, the co-founder of the International Federation of Body Builders and publisher of Muscle and Fitness, Shape and Mens Fitness personally appointed Dr Stoxen to the prestigious editorial advisory board for Muscle and Fitness. In 2008 he was inducted into the National Fitness Hall of Fame. In 2012, he was inducted into the Personal Trainers Hall of Fame. He was also appointed to serve on the prestigious, Global Advisory Board, of The International Sports Hall of Fame.
In 2002, Dr Robert M. Goldman, MD, Ph.D., DO, FAASP, the founder of the National Academy of Sports Medicine and the American Academy of Anti-aging Medicine, experienced a herniated disc injury that was so severe his leg was paralyzed with a drop foot. It seemed that he would not improve without surgery. He also had a severe thoracic outlet syndrome that was so bad that his chest and arm had severely atrophied.
After Dr Stoxen treated Dr Goldman to full recovery with his Human Spring Approach, Dr. Goldman stated, “In my 25 years organizing medical and fitness certification courses, I’ve seen everything. I have never seen anything like this before.” Goldman promptly put Stoxen on the international lecture circuit to teach doctors and scientists this new model and approach.
The Today Show interview from Sydney Australia where Anthony Field officially announces the release of his memoir of healing, How I Got My Wiggle Back
In 2004, Anthony Field of kids’ music group The Wiggles, described being frequently gripped by anxiety, sadness, and negativity and described being suicidal” due to his widespread chronic pain and food sensitivities. Despite their great success in the U.K. and North America Field’s serious medical issues, worsened by a heavy tour schedule, caused him to consider quitting or reinventing The Wiggles. Field met Dr. Stoxen in 2004 and was treated with the Human Spring Approach, made a remarkably fast recovery and has been able to continue. In 2012, Field published his book, How I Got My Wiggle Back where he claims Stoxen’s human spring approach saved his career and saved his life. He and the Wiggles still perform today.
Anthony Field is not the only celebrity to praise Dr. Stoxen’s approach. Since 2002 he has been hired by over 130 national tours of top entertainers. It is estimated he has been asked to treat over 1000 celebrity entertainers and their handlers.

In 2014, at the World Congress of Sports and Exercise Medicine, Dr Stoxen gave the lecture “Ways physicians can improve athletes human performance by the earliest detection, intervention and prevention of spring stiffness over modulation”. In this lecture he formally introduced the Integrated Spring-Mass Model to hundreds of elite level sports medicine physicians from over 30 nations.
This international committee of medical doctors recommended he be given a special award. In 2015, he was awarded an honorary fellowship by a member of the royal family, the Sultan of Pahang, for his distinguished research and contributions to the advancement of medical science in the areas of sports and exercise medicine at an international level
Dr. Stoxen is currently rewriting the medical books to educate doctors on his more advanced approach to examining and treating patients, the Integrated Spring Mass Model. He is also writing a volume of books for patients on the Human Spring Model so they can make better decisions on what is the best approach to the treatment and prevention of many common conditions. Its called the “Human Spring” book series and it will focus on more effective ways to examine and treat patients with herniated discs, chronic arthritis, chronic fatigue, and many other health issues by restoring the bodies spring mechanism.
