I have been a client of Michael for several years. Before each appointment we discuss my chronic issues and any new problems that have surfaced since my last appointment. Recently a few days before my appointment I was having severe pain in my right hip and leg. He assessed my situation and said it appeared to probably be a sciatic pain. During my massage he spent additional effort to this new problem area and continued therapy to my chronic issues. After the appointment, my pain was greatly relieved and I was able to walk normally. I had limped in before my appointment. I highly recommend Michael for his attention to my issues when necessary and for providing a thoroughly realxing experience. I have monthly scheduled appointments that I look forward to.very much. He also sents out regular emails about any openings he may have in his achedule for that week. This is very helpful if some new issue arises or if the week has been especially stressful. read more
