He has still been in p Dan has been able to work with him to get his injury to a point where he can function. After the sessions he can pick up our daughter if he needs to.

His response to questions and background in sports therapy is clear when you ask him questions about what he is doing. He comes to you, which is really nice and much more relaxing than trying to find parking at a PT/massage center. Dan has provided really wonderful massage therapy at a very competitive price.

I've been going here for about 2.5 years, I figured I'd write a review especially since many of us…read moreare cooped up in our homes and slouching at our computers as well as a bit hesitant to do things like seek out a massage etc. I first started going to Michael when I had a very aggravated pinched nerve, I had tried multiple rounds of physical therapy that just weren't helping. I also saw a chiropractor who told me that I was healing and to just give it time. But it kept recurring. While I am active, I would not consider myself an athlete. My first appointment was my first massage in five years after a bad experience with another vendor. Michael explained everything, made sure I was comfortable and was incredibly professional. He helped coach me through breathing properly to help the massage be fully effective. He also explained to me at the end stretches and foam rolling that I could do to help prevent the recurrence of the pinched nerve. Additionally he explained to me the muscles that were weak, which were helping the injury to reoccur. I wrote it down and started a regimen of those exercises to correct those muscle imbalances. Some things to note on Covid: He wears a mask the entire time, as do you. I feel very safe in his office. I know that he follows various protocols including temp checks, sanitizing, etc. Some things to note if you're used to massage envy or a fancy, bougie spa. This is a sports massage, your muscles are going to go through a bit of a beating. You will feel amazing afterward but this is isn't an aromatherapy situation where someone is lightly dropping scented oil on you. It's intense. ***If you are looking to listen to spa music, close your eyes and drift off, this is not the right choice, nor is any sports massage really.*** I think most of the negative reviews are because that is the experience folks are expecting. If you're looking to relax your muscles, gain mobility, understand your muscles and feel better this is the place.!!!

I am so appreciative of Erik's work yesterday. After lifting heavy furniture and a physical job my…read moreneck was full on angry. Muscle tension was setting off migraines/dizziness and between migraines I had a constant throbbing in my right temple and jaw from referred pain. My right shoulder blade ached and my upper back was tender to the touch. Exercise/heat was giving me temporary relief but the pain would return as soon as I stopped. Erik got me in last minute on a Saturday and used his expertise to work magic. I felt my head and jaw pain melt away. My shoulder tension released and the spots that were initially exquisitely tender to the touch became less sensitive. You can feel that Erik has a skilled touch, firm pressure that works its way along the path of the muscle giving it time to release. This is not just someone dropping an elbow into your back to cause pain. When I woke up this morning for the first time in a week not in pain I thought "Erik is my hero...I must write a review".

My husband and I have been getting massages from Erik for several years now, and I can say without…read morereservation that he is the best the is. I've been to a lot of spas, a lot of fancy hotels, and I've never had body work that makes me feel as healthy as I do after a session with Erik. He is a great communicator and listener--he starts every session not on the table, but sitting in chairs, asking questions about how your body is feeling so that he can understand what needs attention, and how to design the session. I love the fact that it's never the same experience twice--he really does construct a unique session each and every time. His is not a "spa" location--so if you're looking for a sauna and steam room, or an expensive line of lotions and potions, this is not the place for you. But if you want a massage that inevitably leaves you feeling a couple of inches taller at the end, then run don't walk to Erik's table.

Tom is super knowledgeable, thorough, compassionate, and is just as thoughtful in conversation (if you want to talk), as he is in making sure he does his very best to remedy your challenges. Bodywork is something that makes me anxious, but Tom is such a good communicator that I feel at ease. I have had lots of massages from really nice people, but been disappointed by the results. Tom gets results, and just happens to be nice.

Not only did he stay late to fit me in, he expertly fixed the problem. His depth of knowledge regarding human anatomy is impressive, to say the least, and his technique is flawless.

I have used private practice massage therapists to franchise massage clinics, Mihail Rosca has been by far and away the best massage therapist I have ever used. Mihail Rosca is strong enough to get into deep tissue massage, experienced enough to release those nagging Trigger Points, and smart enough to knead those smaller surface muscles, into smooth, relaxing comfort. His office is always clean, tidy and safe. His ability to Make appointments via text, is a convenience, I have not seen from other massage clinics. His massage "Sanctum" is private, and relaxingly lit. The massage table is comfortably padded and heated to my own preference. The background sounds are soothing and relaxing. When Mihail has completed his expertly administered craft, my only thought is, "when is your next available appointment next week." Rosca Therapeutic Massage: Highly Skilled. Highly experienced. Highly Recommended! (781) 308-0756

Okay kids, the review before me said it best, I must be a massage slut as well, only, I work in a…read moresalon/spa! However, I like to get my massages outside of the work place and after my first therapist wrecked his wrists in a biking accident I had to go searching for a new one, and search I did! I went to on in JP, the person chanted over me. I almost jumped my naked ass right up off the bed and out the door. I think the monsoon that was going on outside kept my ass on the table! Then I went to various places in the Back Bay. I mean really, how many salons are there on Newbury Street! We could list many of them, but I will not do so. I will tell you this though, when I get a massage I want it to be firm, I want it to get my knots out, I want to feel like I had some work done, not just have a few light touches here and there, and I'd also like a therapist to listen to my needs and take them into consideration while I am being worked on. Not just follow a model of massage they might have learned in school or from their spa instructor, and I think that's what John is perfect at, listening and detailing the areas of your body that needs the most work! I have never left feeling more refreshed and happy! I must also say, his space has enough room to do the tango if you wanted. NO cramped room here with a bed jutting out of a corner, oh no it's a very mellow, inviting space that allows you to breath and feel comfortable, as well as a different selection of music if that lazy spa music isn't your thing!! And if you give him a try, I believe your first visit is discounted, so make sure you ask about that! All in all, a 5 star experience if I've ever had one and look forward to my next visit this coming Monday!!
