Darrell is absolutely the best massage therapist I have found in Nashville, no question. As someone…read morewhose work is physical and therefore takes a toll on my body, having good body work available is essential for me. After trying many well-recommended, well-reviewed massage therapists - all of whom were solid - I found Darrell, who is hands down the best. We tend to do deep-tissue and trigger point work when I go but I've sent my wife and mother-in-law to him for more traditional Swedish massage and, per their experiences, he knocked that out of the park too. His hands-on work is truly great, but I also really like him as a person. He's a gentle, kind spirit and that vibe that he brings helps me relax and get a better massage. I don't have enough good things to say about Darrell. He's just the best!

I called her afterward, and she hasn't sounded so happy and relaxed in a long time. She is in her later 70's and suffers from Fibromyalgia. She said that he worked on her knots and her hips, which give her a lot of trouble, and she felt like she was in heaven. He was attentive to her needs and tailored a perfect massage for her. He knows how to do all kinds of techniques. Now to send her back!

Dale is the man. Plain and simple. If you want a serious massage, Athletic Performance Massage is…read morethe place to go. He's knowledgeable, friendly, and knows how to really open up muscle fibers and tissue for those of you looking for serious deep tissue work not for the faint of heart. I am 6ft, 240lbs and have been a weightlifter my entire life. I have had back injuries, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, etc. I am constantly in search of a therapist that can really put me through some pain with deep tissue work and Dale is the man for the job. Over the years I can't tell you how many times I have gone to therapists in search of intense deep tissue work where they have assured me they can handle the job and they have failed to deliver. That didn't happen when I went to Dale. Recently, I thought that I tore my labrum in my shoulder and had serious knee pain. After a couple sessions with Dale I am nearly pain free in my knees and have full mobility in my shoulder! He's a super nice guy, makes you feel real comfortable, and is genuinely concerned about your progress and health. I would recommend Athletic Performance to anyone and I will certainly be a returning customer.

Best massage ever…read more First off, Dale is super personable, accommodating, and will put you at ease from the get-go. He has a good intuition of what might be ailing you, and approaches the sore spots with attention and finesse. He's one of the few masseuses who is happy to talk shop regarding things such as tight piriformis and QL muscles. If you're at all an endurance athlete, runner, or yogi, such as me, I cannot recommend Dale enough. He works out the IT band, the hammies the soleus muscles in your cavles, and will really open up the hips. I haven't felt so limber after seeing him since I was maybe 16! I can't say that this is a full-on spa environment, as you enter through a serious gym, but Dale's space in the back is warm, relaxing (think lavender oils), and inviting, due to Dale's open persona. Really can't get better than this if you're looking for a targeted massage that still covers the head-to-toes experience.

I can't say enough good things about Nashville Neuromuscular Center! I began going several years…read moreago after my daughter -- a massage therapist in Denver -- researched the options here and determined that the training and experience of the NNC therapists was the best available. That promise has been met and then some. The therapists at NNC have kept me going despite hip and knee issues that threatened to immobilize me. I've recommended the practice to several friends, and their experiences have been similar. Professional, knowledgeable, reliable and welcoming -- that's NNC!

For athletes, seniors​ (my Mom included), ​I LOVE Theresa. She has YEARS of experience and her ability to "work things out" with her amazing hands never ceases to amaze me. If you need good body work (I consider "body work" to be more than just a spa massage), then NMC is your place. Know that all of their MTs are good, and I can highly recommend Theresa Mink.

I was in town, had just landed and was in pretty intense back pain. I searched on yelp for help,…read moreand immediately got a reply from Fortitude. Michael was booked up and it was closing time anyway, yet he sent me several messages back and forth in an attempt to help, even going as far as recommendations on what I could do to elevate pain. He had nothing to gain from helping and could have ignored me like all the others who didn't have an opening, but instead he went the extra mile. That's a business worth supporting. If you are looking for someone who can help and who actually gives a damn about you, then give Fortitude Sports Therapy a call!

Michael fixed a recurring injury that I had suffered from(mildly - it would come and go) for over 2…read moreyears. I had trouble with a particular range of motion in my shoulder (or so I thought). Michael was able to trace the ACTUAL issue to a muscle in my chest that was causing a shoulder muscle to overwork and thereby become injured too. His understanding of muscular anatomy is very high and k was very impressed by it. He also explained it to me in a way that helps me, now, stay mindful of how muscle groups work together and how to stretch/roll/massage myself as a preventative measure for other sports injuries. Michael is a nice guy and a chatter, he shared with me that he had learned therapy and massage techniques partially from his work in Orange County, CA at a company that used to work on NFL quarterback Matt Barkley and other professional athletes. One last thing I would say is noteworthy of Michaels business is that he is honest. My biggest fear in chiropractic, massage therapy, & other related fields is that they can purposely prolong the recovery so that you continue to come back to them - paying for more service. I believe 100% that Michael intends to get you back to normal as soon as possible. He is in this field to help people heal and recover - not to hustle you. It is easy to see this is the case after your first session. I would highly recommend anyone with muscular injuries of any sort to give Michael at Fortitude a try!
