The studio is right in Arlington Center in a historical building (a former Inn), so it's walking distance from my house. Before my massage in Ammon requested that I fill out an online form. Based on my responses, he emailed me just to make sure his preferred massage oil would be OK for me. I really appreciate that level of attention to detail. We discovered that we know some of the same people, and have both been in the music and art scene in Boston for decades. Ammon is a great conversationalist, he is a creative polymath, and his style of massage works well for me. He relieved some of my shoulder pain (I'll need a few more sessions probably). I walked into the massage room with hip pain and walked home without it. That says something. I highly recommend making an appointment!

He has the strength to go deep and an expert knack of finding those knots and smoothing them out.

His workspace creates a sense of peace and calm. He is clean and professional. From his first touch, I could tell I was in experienced hands. I always leave his table feeling like a rubber band and having a renewed sense of energy.

Michael's massage style is difficult to describe and put into words but quite possibly the best I've ever had and I've seen many therapists over the years. His technique is forceful, purposeful and determined yet gentle and relaxing all at the same time. It's a combination of deep tissue. Relaxation and energy work. He's very confident in his work and lives what he does and it shows. The feeling of euphoria lasts for days after. His space has a very relaxing feel. The table is the most comfortable I've ever been on. I can't say enough about this kind and friendly man. Make an appointment. You won't be disappointed.

I had already tried stretching, heat, and massage, and was getting close to making an appointment with an orthopedic specialist. My mom recommended Arnie after having a great experience with him, and I'm so glad she did. From the moment I met him, I felt like I was in good hands. He was calm, attentive, and really took the time to listen and explain what he thought was causing the problem. As he worked on my shoulder, he explained the anatomy and helped me understand why I was having so much difficulty moving my arm. His hands-on work was fantastic--and he definitely has strong hands! I also really liked that he incorporated Thai massage techniques into the treatment. He gave me some simple things I could do at home and even encouraged me to keep lifting weights, which I appreciated. I left feeling noticeably better and with much more movement in my arm. More than anything, I appreciated how knowledgeable and generous he was with his time and how much he taught me. Arnie really knows what he's doing, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone dealing with pain, tightness, or restricted movement.

The kind of pain that advil, tylenol, Aleve etc. don't even touch. I was having headaches that were radiating from my neck. I was literally crying nearly daily. I tried the chiropractor first, and while that helped, I did not find complete relief. Not until I saw Slawomir did my neck pain completely disappear. I went from having pain every single day to having none at all. I am 100 percent better since I started seeing Slawomir Rybak. You will not get a fluffy, relaxing massage from Slawomir. You will get a truly therapeutic massage that will help you with serious back and/or neck pain. Slawomir also shows you exercises to do to maintain the effects of his work. He is also a certified personal trainer. While I am quite sure that Rybak can do a great relaxing massage if requested, he will truly relieve pain and loosen up muscles that are extremely tight. I feel like a new person since I found Slawomir Rybak. I can't recommend anyone more highly.
