~Brian's Testimonials ~
"Brian is a gifted massage therapist and healer. As a Registered Nurse and
breast cancer survivor, I am well aware of the health benefits of massage.
Brian has helped me tremendously with complications arising from post surgical
muscle contractions, relieving tension in my neck, shoulders and upper chest wall.
I have also had the opportunity receive massage several "exclusive" spas on the
east coast. The massages I have received, in no way compare to Brian's technique.
I feel blessed to have him as part of my "health care team". "

"Last year I was looking at possible surgery. I was on medication for the
swelling in my wrist and forearm and I was experiencing sharp pain in my
neck and base of the skull. The pain was so bad I could not sleep, which
further aggravated my Fibromyalgia.
My chiropractor suggested I get a massage.
I decided to try it. After three massage visits with Brian, I had no pain or
swelling in my wrists and forearms and the sharp pain in my neck and base
of the skull was gone. I felt a great sense of relief and calm. Brian gave me
some exercises to help keep my muscles relaxed and stretched.
Brian's knowledge and professionalism make me feel at ease.
Brian, I am so grateful I met you and thank you for all your work and understanding. "

"In spring of 2002, I was diagnosed with a herniated disc in my lower back. I
had constant pain in my back and leg which limited my movement and extremely
affected my sleep.
I went to a doctor and treatment included physical therapy with treatments of
exercises which did not improve my condition. The next option was surgery!
I was then convinced that I'd live my life with constant back pain.
Brian recommended a combination of massage and chiropractic treatment. I
combined both treatments for about three months and immediately felt relief.
I have continued to have the massage therapy with Brian on a regular basis.
He directs his therapy toward my condition. I feel physical and emotional
stress relief after each treatment!
I continue to play golf and now can do physical activities with my two
daughters. I have my life BACK!
Thank you Brian! "

"Who knew that having my nails done would help me avoid carpal tunnel
surgery!
I was having my nails done one day and telling my nail technician about the
numbness I was experiencing in my wrist, hand and fingers and that I was
facing possibility of carpal tunnel surgery. Brian over heard our conversation
and told me that massage therapy may be helpful in alleviating my symptoms.
He offered me an appointment that same day!
I was amazed! I received almost immediate results after my first massage
visit with Brian. My wrist pain and numbness in my hand were almost gone.
Not only did massage help me with my wrist and hand, but it got rid of the
headaches I had been experiencing on a daily basis. I was living on Advil
every day!
Brian has been a godsend, not only for his massage therapy skills, but in his
professionalism and genuine concern for my wellbeing.
I would highly recommend Brian to anyone."

"I had been experiencing pain from tendonitis in my elbow for over a year and
half. I never went anywhere without a brace on it. I tried several different
treatment options which didn't help me. I was told that surgery may be my only
option.
Brian noticed the brace I was wearing and discussed with me how massage
therapy may help with my elbow pain. I asked my doctor for a referral and
starting receiving massage therapy treatments with Brian.
It only took a few massage visits with Brian before my elbow pain started to
decrease and I was feeling much better.
I no longer use a brace and the pain I had for over a year and half is gone. No surgery either!
Thanks Brian!!! "
