I highly recommend him if you're seeking a massage therapist in the Arvada/Golden area. Matt was thorough in analyzing not only my current health status, but also paid close attention to my overall health and activity history. He used this information to plan my treatment, and even advised that we break up my 90-minute session into two 45 minute sessions so that we can begin to properly address some if my issues. He also recommended (and later emailed references for) some great local yoga studios when I indicated I was in the market. This attention to detail and focus on patient well being is what separates the good from the great. The massage itself was firm and therapeutic. I prefer deep tissue-style massages and Matt definitely delivered. It was precisely what needed, and I've noticed immediate improvements in my comfort and range of motion. Don't get me wrong- there was some discomfort when we got to certain trigger points and I had the urge to curse like a sailor. The key, however, is working through these pain points, and we definitely accomplished that. I will most certainly be returning for additional treatments.

I am just amazed at the difference one hour brought as he guided me through various movements for my shoulder. Before the session I had sharp pain if I was to extend my arm back and to the right especially. After the session, the pain had disappeared! Even though it was a virtual session, I felt Gabriel's guidance and help through each movement enabling me to refine them to get the most benefit. He clearly has a deep knowledge of somatics and uses that to hone in on the most effective treatment. I had resigned myself to going to a surgeon and at least getting an MRI and possibly surgery. To feel such quick relief through a non-invasive means is wonderful! I highly recommend Elevated Somatics!

Some massage therapists just pet you. It feels nice but no changes happen in the body…read more Many massage therapists are trained to be a scavenger for knots; once found, the knots are destroyed. More pressure equals more destruction, and often increased pain. This interaction leaves my muscles tensing up to protect from the aggressive invasion it experiences. I hold my breathe to survive the momentary battle between my muscles and the therapist, trying to breathe but often unsuccessfully. If she wins, the knot disintegrates, if I win, she either gets more aggressive or moves on. Luis is different. He holds a dialogue with my muscles and nervous system. He presses, and waits for feedback. He stops just before my muscles tense up and lock him out. He waits, gently and patiently, for my body to let him in, hold the tension, and safely escort it out of my body. He creates an ongoing communicative flow between his hands, my muscles, and my nervous system, constantly listening, and only moving forward once partnership is reinstated. He ends up accomplishing more because he's working with my body instead of against it.

I was visiting from out of town and honestly would have been fine with the number 2 type, because very rarely do you come across someone who does the number 3 thing right. But people on here were saying all the right things that led me to believe we may have a winner here (we do). Also his website talks about mixing music and a vibrating table for resonance therapy, which I've not experienced before, but I'm all for trying different bodywork things. Booked through the website (great hours if you have normal working hours) and answered some of the questions. I'm sure I wrote something confusing because Sami contacted me to clarify what I selected vs. what I was expecting. We went through a moment of needing to reschedule and he was perfectly nice and flexible with the new time. Day of, he patiently went over any and all things I had issues with or wanted to focus on, my history of bodywork, etc. that doesn't count toward your session time. And then the happy place (*sigh* seriously, IS is now my happy place). It's a dark room with the table that he's modified for the music vibration to work, that's heated with a heavy-ish soft blanket that he bathes in meditation-y music. So freaking perfect. Not counting his work, I probably would have been happy with all of that on its own. But he is incredibly attuned to you/your body. He goes in and out of light touches to deeper work. Some of what he did were methods I'm familiar with, and some that I'm now bummed to know about because where the hell else am I going to find someone like him?? I'm sure he's also got some magic feel of the right song for the right moment that I thought was next-level considerate. We had a debrief session before I left and shared what area he thought I needed to focus on more in the future (si-11). Again, he was kind with his time and knowledge even though it was late and he was heading out too. I'm sad Sami's in Denver (and happy for all of you). He'd probably be worth going back to Denver for, except DEN is it's own hel--that's a review for another place.

Also, I complained of my (large) chest being uncomfortable when I lay chest-down, I was immediately offered a "breast pillow" to prop me up while I lay on the table-- Not even my 400$ massage at the Ritz Carlton offered me that! Truly a nice touch, making me feel incredibly cared for. Everyone deserves this experience.

Do not go here! 1st appointment: I went about a month ago. The appointment was booked on their website at a time that was listed as available. The business decided to reschedule the time [on the same day], and not tell me. I was irritated but didn't complain and showed up at the new time they assigned to me. Fortunately, the massage therapist I got, Alex, was excellent! During the massage, I told him that the time was changed on me without notification. He apologized on behalf of the business and told me that unfortunately, it has happened to other clients before, but it is out of his control. Alex helped my chronic leg pain a lot, so I decided to reschedule. 2nd appointment: I was scheduled to see Alex tomorrow for another session. A notification was sent via text to me today to confirm the appointment. I confirmed. AFTER confirming it said that a different person, Richard Perez, would be treating me. I scheduled with Alex, not Richard. This is not OK. I RE-scheduled with Alex for a reason. I left a message with the business, but didn't expect to hear back in time about it, so, I contacted Alex, whose number I have because I asked him for some doctor/health info after my last visit. I asked him, 'what is going on?' Alex informed me that upon putting in his 2 week notice, he was immediately fired. This is beyond NOT OK. I will never support a business who treats employees like that. Amazing update as I type this!!!! Richard Perez [owner/therapist] just called me as I'm typing this and apologized for switching the therapist on me. Ok, thanks for the apology, but... When I told him I'm not ok with how he runs his business, he started talking over me and defending all of his actions. He said its not his fault he changed the time on me. [Who's fault is it when you own the business?] He had no response to that. I told him what Alex said about being fired after putting in his 2 weeks. Richard defended that too by saying, "we didn't need him and his 2 weeks was a courtesy to me. He didn't have to do that." So you fire him? That's not how that works RICHARD!!! Richard then proceeded to accuse Alex of 'stealing' his former clients. Excuse me Richard, but I went to your office 1 time and saw Alex. Therefore I rescheduled with Alex, not you. This does not qualify as stealing clients. And in no way did Alex EVER say anything bad about you. In fact, he actually said good things about you and said that you [Richard] are a good massage therapist who is currently attending chiro school. People who 'steal' clients do not promote their former boss. And FYI Richard, I have yet to reschedule with Alex. I don't even know if/when I will go see him again now. He's not my 'buddy'. I met him for the first time at your office and he helped me with some serious issues I have, so I wanted to see him again. Alex is simply your former employee who is a nice/responsible/professional person [3 things you aren't] who doesn't want to work for a Richard like you. I don't blame him. Don't blame your former employees for your own personal flaws. Back to the phone convo: Richard was argumentative and wouldn't listen to me. He continued talking over me and accusing me [and Alex] of odd things. I had enough and I stopped him by saying he's running a "s****y business" and doesn't deserve any clients the way he treated me or his former employee. Then he called me a "F-ing stupid client who wants to get his a** beat!" WTF!?!?! Do not visit this person. He's supposed to be helping people in this profession, not hurting them. I'm sitting here laughing at the incredulity of this interaction that just happened, and EXTREMELY thankful that I didn't keep the appointment with him for tomorrow. Nobody should be in a room alone with this guy!!! Richard, PLEASE! consider a different profession and go get some help. I do not wish harm on you and no, I do not want to fight you [as you insinuated]. Be well you Richard.

I've been going here for a little over two years, and if you have any issues at all, and I mean ANY, you will get a call from the owner who will make it right.

I have had many different therapists here, and can say that they all are allowed to have their different techniques, yet all do best to accommodate you. I would agree with the previous reviewer- it kind of throws you because you are in an office building, which is kind of meh, but you know, we can't all be on the beach in Hawaii.
