I came to him dealing with chronic and constant back pain, mostly from recent weight lifting and what I later learned was some misalignment in my hips. I had tried sports massages, heating/icing, foam rolling, stretching and nothing seemed to help my lower back pain. I was honestly just hoping for a little relief--but what I got was so much more. Dan is not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in his work, but he also brings such a grounded, genuine presence that made me feel immediately at ease. He took the time to really listen and understand what was going on with my body, and his approach was both intuitive and precise. After just one session, I've already noticed a real difference in how I move and feel--something I didn't think was possible after struggling with this pain for so long. Dan was also extremely flexible around my schedule and worked to get me in last minute, which showed not only his passion for what he does, but his commitment to helping others. And I have to mention Stella, his sweet dog, who was the cherry on top of an already healing and comforting experience. She brings such a warm, calming energy to the space. If you're dealing with pain or just want truly therapeutic bodywork from someone who really knows what they're doing and cares deeply about it, I can't recommend Dan enough!

I went to see Dan after a point when I was experiencing constant pain which prevented me from sleeping at night. Dan started me on a 6 week plan of weekly two hours sessions. After 6 weeks I no longer had the pain that previously prevented me from my sporting activities and sleeping. I now see Dan every two weeks as a regular. A side benefit is I am no longer straining or pulling muscles during strenuous activity. Thanks Dan, you are the best. Bill R.

I had initially signed up for three sessions and after my first session with Megan Shockro, I immediately signed up for 5 more. I have had MLD done in two other clinics before and nothing compares to how fabulous Megan is, just one session made a world of a difference! I could already feel that my legs and arms weren't so heavy, and most stomach didn't fill so full. The staff is always patient, friendly, welcoming, and consistently giving high quality, superior service. I cannot say enough about this establishment and their wonderful employees! This is now a part of my wellness routine and will continue with my MLD regularly at Loosen Up Bodywork. I highly recommend getting a treatment here!

Usually when I do deep tissue it's quite painful but not only did Jip loosen everything up amazingly well, she actually made me doze off a few times. That doesn't typically happen because I consider deep tissue to be therapeutic not necessarily relaxing as it tends to hurt. I think I slept through most of the reflexology session which is a shame because that's my favorite part. Guess I'll have to come back... :) The space is small and the massage areas are separated by curtains not walls. That's the only downside.

It is located off LOCUST avenue and they work pretty much seven days per week from 10am to 9pm or so. Their prices are not the cheapest in town but they are still really good and you get what you pay for. Rather than simply having your feet and or body "rubbed" these folks use their years of experience and expertise to provide you the best experience that will make you feel better and healthier. My wife and I go regularly and recently I brought my elderly parents who had some foot issues. Shere and Peter worked wonders.

I definitely recommend him to anyone who wants not only a relaxing massage, but really needs it due to constant muscle pain. I would come in every week if my bank account would let me .
