“I've had amazing massages with Dan. Every time I've gone, it's usually for an injury from work. And every time I leave feeling better & my injuries have subsided as a direct result from Dan's work. Other massages I've had at other locations, particularly focusing on my neck/shoulders have always resulted in a migraine the next day. However, with Dan, I've never once had this problem. It's truly a great place & I wish I lived closer so I could go more often!” - Rebecca S.

 

“I really can't say enough about Dan's expertise and ability. I am someone with severe foot, leg, and back issues. I was referred to Dan and it took a fair amount of prodding to get me to go - because I had completely given up on any hope of truly getting better. I was at the point of limping around and being in so much pain that I wouldn't even walk to the mailbox. Within 3 visits to Dan I was walking around the mall. He is an outstanding therapist who knows what he is doing. He is an expert and I trust him completely. I am shocked by the progress I am making under his care. He listens carefully and responds to your needs. I am so grateful for the work he is doing. I have been to many massage therapists over the years and this is truly many levels above the care I have received in the past. If you are in pain - I would give him the highest recommendation possible. And yes - when you arrive there isn't a receptionist. This is a private practice with no need for one. I arrived, completed my paperwork, and then met Dan and went into the therapy room.” - Andrea B.

 

“Highly recommend. My therapist, Dan is amazing and very professional. If you are in pain, he can fix it. I went to see him with extreme lower back pain, after my 90 minute appointment, I left feeling 100% better. He also advised me on how to take care of myself in the future.I also suffer from frequent headaches and neck pain and have seen Dan on several occasions for this reason. He is able to quickly locate the source of the pain and get right to work on it. The office is clean and clutter free, a very relaxing and friendly atmosphere.” - Jen M.
