I am SO SAD I didnt find Martin sooner!! And even more sad that I only got to use him a few times before leaving the area. He is a hidden gem. Legitimately, the absolute BEST massage for tension release and relaxation. I have never had a massage that didnt bring me to tears (because parts of my body get SO VERY tense). However Martin has a magic touch that never put me in pain during the massage OR AFTER! I tried to bribe him to either travel with me or fly to where I was going to continue this but alas it didnt work out haha I will be booking with him when I come back home!

I have been getting massages every 6-8 weeks from Martin for about 3 years. He is fantastic!

Martin did an excellent job of finding trigger points I didn't even realize were there during deep tissue massage. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with chronic pain or muscle tension.
