REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Connie on Apr 23
He is very knowledgeable about how all of the different muscles, tendons, tissue, joints, etc. work together. He knows all of the right techniques to release pain.

I felt a noticeable difference all over my body. The tension in my shoulders, back and hips were released. I woke up this morning feeling great with 0 pain. I highly recommend this experience to anyone.

I had been having constant tingling in my ring and pinky finger on my right hand, despite months of PT. After seeing Jim for one session, the tingling completely disappeared for almost a week and while it has slightly come back after lifting and a six hour drive, I am confident that a few more sessions with Jim will alleviate it. He was very professional: he asked me my goals for the session and did a full physical examination before beginning to see where I might have tightness or ROM issues. His approach was very different from typical massage which I also get regularly and which has been helpful as well. I do think he has some techniques that the average MT may not have and those techniques contributed to my pain relief. The room is nicely decorated and very comfortable. Unlike in some massage situations, the client can remain dressed in loose-fitting clothing, which may be a plus for some. I plan to go back for this issue and have him address my lower back pain as well.

Very positive and helpful experience.

Jim is excellent with his massage skills and incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to educating me on ways I can care for my particular muscle pain outside of the session. He uses several techniques that are unique to his style, which make a noticeable difference. During each session, he helps me reach a point where I feel re-aligned. He’s skilled at identifying the true source of my pain and always sends me home with stretches and tools that help me continue feeling better long after the massage. Extremely helpful, intuitive, and effective—Jim is truly exceptional at what he does.

Appreciate the medical massage targeted to my lower back pain.

I appreciate Jim's professional yet friendly demeanor and how he communicates what he's targeting. (I'm pretty laid back anyway, so I don't particularly need the ambiance. LOL)

Living with muscle pain for so long, it was wonderful to get relief. It has been couple of years of discomfort, so not a quick fix, but looking forward to feeling better every month with his expertise and knowledge.
