Quality, quality, quality…read more Frank is the most thoughtful, intelligent, and qualified acupuncturist I have found in the DC area. I've seen several other individuals for massage, acupuncture, and dry needling. But I have always gone back to Frank because he is the best. I've been seeing Frank for over four years now. Specifically, Frank has played a key role in my healing process for my shoulder and back injuries and numbness in my arms. We focus a good deal on dry needling on my neck, shoulder, and back. I find that he is the most careful and smart with dry needling. I have been to physical therapists and chiropractors who try to dry needle, and it's scary how ill equipped they were. Go see Frank. Whether you're an athlete or a stressed out profession (or like me...both!), you will walk away better in mind and body after seeing Frank.

He also sold me an herbal remedy that can be used as a tea, which is great (though I still rely on my OTC meds when the pollen count gets really high). I've gone to four different acupuncture practitioners and Frank is the best. Within minutes of getting the needles I fall into a deep relaxing sleep.I usually get the Tui Na service, so the massage feels like an extra bonus. It always surprises me that the whole treatment is only an hour. It feels like longer. For those who had trouble reaching him on the phone, I would recommend email. He has more than one office and no assistant. I haven't tried calling him, but he's always been very responsive to email, sending a reply either the same day or next day.

I have tried dry needling, muscular scraping, "massage therapy", chiropractic and yoga to try to remove the pain in my neck that my poor posture at work has created. It was not until I met David that I can truly say I have been pain free and had the restoration of my full range of motion. It took several sessions with gradually increasing levels of depth and pressure but I am now able to work and play sports pain free between sessions. David has endeavored to make me as comfortable as possible while not allowing me to get in the way of my treatment. He is a professional in the truest sense of the word and as such I have sent both my Wife and soon my Mother to see him as well.

As a fellow massage therapist, he is one of my favorites to have work on me. In my own practice, if I ever had a question with anything I was working on (I massaged in a chiropractors office), Joe would be one of my "go to" therapists to ask questions and bounce ideas off of. I moved away from McLean but every time I come back to NOVA, I make sure I book an appointment with him. You WILL NOT REGRET IT! (I only go to the best!)

I liked that he discussed areas I would like to focus on and gave me tips for stretching. The location is a little weird.

Kevin is EXCEPTIONAL. From his professional yet friendly demeanor to his attentiveness in applying…read morethe right type of massage with appropriate intensity, he gave me precisely what I needed. I received unhurried, thoughtful, thorough, therapeutic touch that effectively addressed a number of chronic musculoskeletal issues I'd been struggling with (and, candidly, the quality of the massage could've easily commanded a higher price). Making the appointment was quick and easy, and there were more than enough options to suit my busy schedule. When I arrived, Kevin asked several questions to pinpoint my needs, which he incorporated into the massage session, and he also readily adjusted during the massage as he worked on the various parts and they "talked back" to him. During the massage, we chatted when I felt like talking, and if I needed quiet, we were quiet, and it was not at all awkward. (Sometimes, what we need with a massage, in addition to the physical healing touch, is a friendly person to connect with. ) A special note: As a woman, particularly one of tiny frame, there are 2 things I am most concerned about with a male massage therapist; 1) propriety; 2) the therapist being afraid to really dig in. (I have knots so big and bad that they have their own zip codes!) With Kevin, I felt completely safe, and he wasn't afraid to apply real force to get those gnarly knots worked out. When he was finished, I basically poured myself off the table..... I will be back very soon. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I saw Daniel for the first time a few years ago after a bike accident and nothing else worked. I…read morewalked out of there feeling CURED. I had another massage with him yesterday and was reminded of just how talented he is. He is an amazing massage therapist. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the body, muscles, tendons, alignment, etc. He will do an assessment of your posture and alignment standing up before working on you, starting from how the arches of your feet fall and which leg is stronger, your knee and hip alignment, all the way up to your head. He knows what he is doing. Daniel is passionate and knowledgeable about his work and continues his education of different techniques (i.e. he's currently studying some new somatic therapy techniques). Like many people have said, he's different - but in an amazing way. He will go further than other massage therapists you've seen, because he's GOOD and knows exactly what needs to be done to fix you up right. A massage with Daniel is not for the conservative types or bodily shy - he will twist and turn you and the sheet may shift, he will massage your glutes and push on your sacrum, he may get on the table to have more leverage to work on your back - these are things most people are not used to in a massage. He's not violating you, he's getting where he needs to go to make you feel AMAZING. It can be an odd feeling to have someone other than a lover touching you in certain areas, but those are often the areas that need some love! But if you're not down with that, just don't go to him. But if you go with an open mind, you will not be disappointed. He works hard to make you feel good. He breathes deeply when working on you to encourage you to breathe so the muscles will release as you exhale - also because he is working HARD. I've never once felt like he was inappropriate - he's just doing the best he possibly can to make you feel good. If you're uncomfortable with him getting near any area, just say so before he starts and be conscious of the sheet moving. He also almost always goes over what you've paid for because he wants to finish working on what he knows needs to be addressed. His prices are moderate for the area, but once you include the fact that he gives discounts to students, teachers, non-profit employees, etc, and if you go during 'off hours' AND the fact that he almost always goes over the amount of time you've paid for - it's an incredible deal. DO YOUR BODY GOOD AND GET A MASSAGE FROM DANIEL! Just relax and let him do his job. And if you're the type who wears a bra to your massage (right where massage therapists spend most of their time?), you are not the type to get a massage from Daniel.

If you really want to find a true therapist, he is 100% for you. I went in for right shoulder pain and never once did his massage hurt like it did with other massage therapists, but a wild thing happened that compels me to write this. An hour after I got a massage from him and showered, the right shoulder developed a rash for 5 minutes and then went away and the pain that I had in that shoulder for months had completely disappeared! It's like he drew the bad energy right out of the area! I could write so much more about how amazing and kooky he is. I'm conflicted in that I feel like I want to keep him all to myself, but also want to tell everyone about how wonderful he is. If you love the intuitive/unseen side of life like I do, then you'll be happy to find the real deal with him.

Thom Shenk is the reason I am standing today. I've had chronic back pain for years and tried…read moreeverything: massage, chiropractors, heat pads, etc which only ever gave me temporary relief. Then I heard about rolfing. I went for a session or two in 2014 or 2015 to try it out, but I was poor and had a tough time continuing the sessions (they are a little pricey). But last year I was at the end of my rope with the pain in my mid-back, and I would do whatever it took to get some relief. I starting seeing Thom on a regular basis. He was friendly and knowledgeable. His studio is inside "Restore Motion" on the third floor. He has weekend appointments! The parking is also free on the weekend. If you're female you should bring a sports bra and a pair of cotton / bike shorts to the appointment. Rolfing seems like both an art and a science. Thom's attitude is really well-suited to this profession. I don't think it's horribly painful during the session, but my back has been in a lot of pain for years and years. YMMV. I've had at least 15 sessions. Sometimes I would feel amazing afterwards, and sometimes I left in pain. Your body is working through the muscle changes, so don't feel discouraged. Working with Thom and going through this process has been a total life-changer. I have been pain-free for months, although it took some time to get here. As a side note, I did have a week or two where I experienced extreme pain after my session. I wondered if the rolfing was working. This was probably around week 6 or 7. But after that week, something released in me, and THAT's when my pain started to disappear. So stay with it if you can. I'm thankful to have found this place. Thom seems to book up kind of quickly and scheduling can be iffy, so try to book in advance. Weekend appointments are always the toughest to get. Thom is not a texter or emailer so calling seems to be the best way to go. I would highly recommend.
