Peter Slowinski owns this salon with his wife, Anna. It's a great salon - though I haven't used the beauty services, other people have and love Anna's work and the hair stylists there. I go for Peter's massage therapy. (Steven recently joined the salon as the other massage therapist - I haven't used his services, but many people up here do) Without a doubt, Peter is the most knowledgeable and accomplished masseuse I have ever been to. They emigrated from Poland years ago - he was a rehab nurse there and his training shows. Years ago, I went to him and mentioned that my post-surgery knee exercises weren't getting me well as soon as I hoped. He showed me slight modifications to the exercises that really made all the differences. Also, I had terrible migraines, and although massage didn't make them go away, Peter was the ONLY (and I mean the ONLY) massage therapist I had seen that didn't trigger migraines through his techniques.
Fast forward many years: my leg and hip were incredibly sore and I had a severe limp, with trouble getting in and out of bed, the car, etc. I went to two different chiropractors which brought only minimal relief. Finally went to an orthopedic surgeon who told me I needed hip replacement! Frankly, I am afraid of this - with all the news about implant recalls, not to mention hospital-acquired infections, death, etc! . Then it hit me -- why not see if Peter can help. I hadn't had a massage for years and in that time, Peter had been studying how inflammation hurts the body and what massage and nutritional techniques can ease pain and inflammation. Over the past year I have steadily improved. His expertise in massage therapy, nutritional advice and tailored home exercises have all helped east my pain, limping and hip issues. i can't say enough good about him. (EP now is offering the Photon Genius light therapy., too).
He is absolutely the best! read more
