I had an excellent experience with my PAIN RELEASE THERAPY treatment. Craig was professional, knowledgeable, and listened to my concerns. I came in with a lot of tension and discomfort i was walking with a limp due to sciatica type pain from my hip down my leg--, and after the session I felt significantly better - more relaxed, the severe pain was so much better that it allowed me to walk upright, not crooked. The environment was welcoming and the care felt very personalized. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for effective therapy! I will be returning- Thank you for such an amazing experience! read more

I had a really great deep tissue massage here. The pressure was exactly what I needed, Craig focused on the areas where I had the most tension instead of just rushing through it. I left feeling a lot more relaxed and loose. Definitely a great experience and I would come back again. read more

Craig is the excellent Pain Release Therapist. I see him once per week to maintain my mobility (severe arthritis). Because of Craig I am able to keep my quality of life. I've been a devoted client since 2019. read more

I can't recommend Craig highly enough. He took the time to understand my specific concerns and tailored the session to address exactly what I needed. His skill, knowledge, and attention to detail were exceptional. I came in with significant lack of mobility and discomfort, and I left with noticeable relief and improved mobility. Throughout the session, they checked in to ensure the pressure and techniques were comfortable and effective. What truly sets Craig apart is his genuine care for their clients' well-being. His professionalism and expertise made this one of the best massage experiences I've ever had. I will definitely be returning and recommending them to friends and family! read more

Aloha! I've been dealing with sciatica for over 15 years. I was looking through instagram and came across his page and figured I would give him a try. I flew in to Las Vegas from Hawaii and scheduled a session with him. Craig knew right away where my pain was coming from and knows what areas to work on to help relieve the pain. He is very knowledgeable and keeps constant communication with you to make sure he knows the pain level you are in. To bad I don't live here in Las Vegas so I could see him more routinely to get my sciatica under control. I highly recommend Craig if you need pain relief. Mahalo read more

Mark was wonderful! I had a therapeutic massage to target some work-related areas of concern. We had a quick assessment, then he diligently worked on my knots with steady and constant pressure. I immediately felt both relief and relaxed at the end of our session. read more

Craig was amazing!!! I felt such a relief in my upper neck afterwards! Would highly recommend!

Craig has been amazing to work with and I strongly recommend that if you are dealing with any type of muscle issues, go see him. I have been getting tension headaches for over 3 years. I've tried different things to fix it, but I could never figure out exactly what is causing the tension headaches. In my first meeting with Craig, he was able to describe to me exactly what's going on and what's causing the headaches. He figured out quickly I have knots and trigger points in my neck and my upper traps, irritating the nerves, and it's radiating headaches to the front of my head. He uses a technique called Advanced Pain Release Therapy, which I had never heard of before. Basically with this technique, he is working through the muscle knots and trigger points and opening up that area. In my first session, I felt relief almost immediately. I actually couldn't believe it. After my first session ended, I was just sitting in his chair afterwards completely surprised how I felt. I have completed 3 sessions with him so far and the intensity of my headaches have gone down almost 50%, which is fast considering how long I have had these. In each session, I can actually feel him able to go deeper as the muscle knots are loosening up. He also works on the entire body. If you are suffering from any type of muscle issues causing pain, whether it's the legs, back, neck, or anything else, I would highly highly recommend going to see him. I wish I had found him sooner. On top of him being an expert, he is a very nice and friendly person. You will have a great experience and feel better afterwards. read more

Craig is a an excellent massage therapist and very well trained in his area of expertise. This was my first time utilizing this therapy and Craig explained the pain scaling very thoroughly and immediately found all of my points of pain. I left my first session with an immediate sense of relief in my upper back and shoulders and will continue to return to him for treatments. His listens very well to the level of pressure you need and knows exactly where to work on with minimal direction. I highly recommend Craig! read more

I've been seeing Craig for the past year (found through yelp) and let me tell you, he does magic with his hands. I've had issues with certain muscles for years and have tried all kinds of therapy including massage but nothing makes me feel better than a session with Craig. He's compassionate, a good listener, knows anatomy extremely well and is Very professional. He has helped me immensely over this past year, this is not a relaxing massage and you need to communicate with him using the 1-10 pain level method. I would recommend him to anyone experiencing muscular pain! Thank you Craig for blessing us with your talent. You have healing hands. read more

Craig is a beast at his craft. I dont know another way to put it. I've seen countless therapists, massage gurus, trainers, medical type places... No one could do what Craig has done for me, and in a fraction of the time and cost at that. Only downside is he can be tough to get into because his schedule is often booked out - but that says a lot about his service in of itself. Highly recommended. read more

I booked this massage the day after running a half marathon, and let me just say--it was everything my body needed and more. I came in sore, stiff, and walking like a baby deer. My calves were tight, my hips ached, and my lower back was letting me know it was not happy. I was expecting a nice, relaxing massage, but what I got was way beyond that. It was the perfect mix of deep tissue and gentle recovery work. The therapist knew exactly how to work around the sore spots without making anything worse, and still managed to loosen everything up. There was one moment when they got into my hamstrings and I swear I felt years of tension just melt away. They even showed me a couple of stretches I could do at home to keep things loose. Super thoughtful and clearly knowledgeable about how runners' bodies work. I walked out feeling like I could actually move again. Not only was the pain way down, but my legs felt refreshed--like I could've done another couple of miles (don't worry, I didn't!). If you're a runner or just put your body through a lot, I can't recommend this enough. It felt like someone handed my body back to me in better condition than I arrived. Already planning my next visit--maybe even before my next race this time! read more

Craig is an amazing person, and I highly recommend his services. I have only gone to one session, but I plan on going monthly. I had pain in my shoulder and in my sciatic area. Craig found knots I didn't even know I had and worked patiently to release them. After one session I felt better and didn't have nearly the amount of pain I was experiencing. I look forward to going to him long term. I have already referred my mom and a couple of my coworkers. Thank you very much Craig! read more

craig is truly a master at his craft! he's super strong, and is able to quickly find and isolate the knots/sore muscles, and then apply deep pressure for active release. even the muscles nestled deep in the back, shoulder blades, neck and hip were no match for his deft hands. if you like deep pressure massages and feeling your knots actively get worked out, then craig is your guy! i left feeling much looser and the next day my muscles were SORE in the best way. i will definitely be back! read more

Craig was great, he found all the knots in my muscles and left me with some helpful tips to take home.

I cannot recommend Craig highly enough! As someone who has visited countless massage therapists over the years, he truly stands out as the best. Throughout my pregnancy, his prenatal massages were a lifesaver, helping to ease tension and discomfort while ensuring every session was perfectly tailored to my needs. Even postpartum, his care and attention have been unmatched, providing immense relief for my lower spine issue and pain caused by a slipped disc. His expertise is evident, as he can quickly feel my body and know exactly where my tight spots are! He checks in throughout the massage, ensuring I'm comfortable using an intensity scale 1-10. His ability to listen and adjust based on my feedback makes each session feel truly personalized. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, pregnancy-related discomfort, or simply need to unwind, Craig delivers an exceptional experience every time. I've referred my family and friends to him and they've all been happy too. I'm so grateful to have found someone so skilled--he's an absolute gem! read more

Craig is the best! He has such a specific skill set that really help target stubborn muscles. He's my go to massage therapist.

Craig is awesome! Super attentive and professional. Does wonders in helping me fix my body (leg/back issues) and get pain relief. Cannot recommend him enough! read more

I just started seeing Mark and I am already feeling significantly less pain. On top of that, he has been very kind and friendly. I would definitely recommend seeing him! I have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and it has been so hard to find providers who are familiar with hEDS and who listen as I explain my pain and physical limitations, so I am very thankful to have found Mark. read more

Since my last two sessions with Craig, I have felt much relief in my upper back/shoulder/neck area where I've struggled with tightness and nerve compression for years. Craig is very knowledgeable, thorough and caring towards his clients and I look forward to more visits as I have a lot of unaddressed nerve issues/tightness in other areas as well. I'm very happy to have found Craig!! read more

I had my first session today with Craig to work on my right leg. I have been limping for a year. My right leg hurts and I have been tight for years and now my leg can't handle my body weight. My session was great! Craig knows what he is doing. He is very knowledgeable. I didn't need to explain a lot. He can tell exactly what hurts. I certainly learned a lot from him. I can't wait to go again and I can't wait to bring my husband and my friends. He is a great gift to give to a loved one. read more

I can't say enough about Craig's Magic Hands. He is like a gift from God. After suffering for 12 months with chronic pain, I found Craig on Yelp. I have literally tried everything. I've had trigger shot injections, Muscle relaxers, stretch Zone, acupuncture, massages and chiropractor adjustments. I've seen at least nine doctors here at Nevada and I've pretty much given up on the Healthcare System here until I met Craig. When I first called and, he briefly explained His Pain release therapy technique. Honestly, I've never heard of it and have had been looking for a rolfer in Nevada. I checked out Craig's reviews and figured that this guy has got to be the real deal. I have had chronic neck and shoulder pain from working on a computer all day. After just one visit, I immediately felt a huge difference. I was no longer walking around feeling light-headed because of all of the pain in my neck. After a few hours, I felt so much better. The next day I was back to my good old self. I absolutely can't believe the phenomenal results. Yes, I was a little sore but that is to be expected. I can't believe but I had never heard of The active release technique before now. I really cant recommend Craig enough. He truly found all my tight spots and released all the tension leaving me pain free read more

I've known Craig for many years and he's a great masseur for relaxation as well as therapeutically. He has fixed a neck issue a couple times and recently he has really helped me with my plantar fasciitis. I could barely walk before seeing him a few months ago. tremendous relief after one visit. read more

I have only had 1 other massage in my life and it was more of a feel good type of experience. I was having pain in the back of both legs and attributed it to aging. I read the reviews for pain release and figured maybe a self diagnosis was not the best strategy when it came to health. I scheduled an appointment with Craig and after a short description of my issues he went to work. Craig obviously is very knowledgeable in the make up of the human body, he almost immediately realized my muscles were extremely tight and worked them to the point where I felt much relief when he was done. No doubt the glowing reviews are from patients who have experienced the same results as I. thanks Craig I'll be back. read more

Wow ... Craig is the best, came in very skeptical but he is the real deal, I can't get enough, was losing hope but he know his stuff, get in and see him asap!! read more

Craig was knowledgeable and very professional.... Went into his therapy session with major lower back pain and came out feeling 100% better.. will be making a follow up visit when I return from traveling... highly recommend! read more

Mark is the best massage therapist. He goes over the top for perfection. I can't wait to see him again.

I've been coming to Craig for years now, and every time has been great. I run a lot and it's hard to find someone who can target the deep muscle tissues that give me pain. I'm a big believer in massage being a tool to alleviate and prevent injuries. Craig has exceptional knowledge of the body and will share additional exercises that can be used to help you! I would recommend him to anyone. read more

I would highly recommend Craig. This place is clean and professional. Craig is by far one of the best physical therapists in Las Vegas. I will be coming back for my second session. read more

If you're looking for rudeness and ego, you've found your guy. Agree with one of the previous reviewers that he gets upset if you tell him to back off on his painful deep tissue pressure. Not only does he get upset but he becomes incredibly hostile and rude. If you tell him there is a sensitivity or a painful knot, he will double down on it saying it will help but it becomes more painful and then blames you for it. Stay far, far away from this weirdo. Adding on in response: this is a perfect example of him, blaming his customers for everything gone wrong. I told him multiple times I was sore after and felt like I had run a marathon. He responded by saying it was my fault for letting him go too deep but when I tell him it's painful, he gets upset. I didn't even mention his strange personality because I could overlook that if the treatment was good. He makes dumb dad jokes throughout the treatment and if you don't respond, he gets upset. He talks about other customers and what a wonderful therapist he is and if you don't respond, he gets upset. He talks about himself constantly and he rolls his eyes and says well what do I know sarcastically. Overall did I have some improvement? I generally have improvement with every massage session I've ever had, and this isn't any different but his attitude, personality, and angry issues are not worth the time or effort. read more

I was in massive pain, pinched nerve in neck/shoulder and knots all along the right side of my body. In desperation I looked up reviews on Yelp and something pulled me to Craig, all the genuine reviews that were submitted, something just said that this was the right person to go see. I reached out and he happened to have a last minute cancellation, so he got me in. The stars and universe were aligned because he is usually booked out for weeks. By far the best massage therapy I have ever had. Craig knows his stuff, hands down the best in the business. He found all the spots, knew how to work on them and made sure that the pain level was always manageable, while really digging in and getting to the origin of the pain. I can honestly say I was shocked at the improvement the next morning...I was fearing the pain I thought I would wake up in, with as much work as Craig did ....all I can say is I felt so much better, my pain had decreased by leaps and bounds, it was by far the best I had felt in over a month. Craig is truly a magician, I can't recommend him enough, if I could give 10 stars I would. read more

Craig is an amazing therapist! He's helped me manage my neck pain to the point I went from having massive headaches to only the occasional headache. I'm so grateful that he is such a caring, smart therapist who really listens and figures out how to address problems. read more

I had my first hour long massage with Craig and I felt so at ease as he explained everything he felt while massaging me. Craig specializes in active pain release therapy and is a licensed medical massage therapist. His ability to pinpoint the problems in my back and massage them out while not causing my pain and discomfort to escalate was mind blowing. Craig was very descriptive and broke things down to me so I could understand what is going on with my back. I saw him on 3/18/22 at 4pm and I feel so much better. I feel sore, but a good sore. The sore where you KNOW those knots were loosened up. Craig also found points that I didn't even know were tight. I can't wait to go back for my second session! read more

Craig is an amazing therapist. I had been seeking help with lower back pain and sciatica pain and knew I needed deep muscle manipulation. Craig is certified in Active release therapy (ART) and certified Medical Massage Therapist. I have had 3 one hour sessions with Craig and I am feeling so much better. I love playing Pickleball and my back pain was making it hard to play consistently. Since I have been going for these sessions, my Pickleball play has double & so much more enjoyable. Craig has an incredible understanding of anatomy, muscles & connective tissue. I highly recommend this therapy / tgerapist- especially if you wish to heal the root-cause of your pain. read more

Had my first session with craig expecting another typical massage session. I have to say my body feels 10yrs young, Craig did stretches and hit my trigger points loosening up my Body. Definitely going back and highly recommend Craig read more

Being a trained Trigger Point, Accupressurist, Shiatsu Aesthetic provider myself. I have searched for someone of Craig's caliber for years! This is not your typical spa massage, no way. Craig is truly, and I mean truly, a master, masterful and a delight. He's just the right amount of friendly, happy and reads the room with distinction. I feel both relaxed and relieved after seeing him. Book early as he's booked. He's worth waiting for and I love my visits with him. He knows his craft backwards and forwards. He does both Neuromuscular and Active Release Techniques. I would highly encourage anyone, be it professional athlete, professional provider, caregiver, medical professional, to see him. This is NOT a traditional deep tissue massage, but so much more. He works to your tolerance and comfort level and on those areas specific t your needs. Call me an epic fan! read more

I have been seeing Craig for well over a year for shoulder/neck/back issues, and have always walked out from my sessions feeling better..however, my last two visits were for an extremely painful tendonitis issue in the left shoulder/elbow. The therapy Craig gave me was ultimately helpful but quite painful to endure during the therapy. I ended up in tears today because of the pain, which was nothing against what Craig was doing, its just the injury itself. After my session I said I was in pain. Craig was indifferent and had zero sympathy that I was in pain, then became rude to me, and out of nowhere told me "we shouldn't work together anymore", and then actually pointed towards the door for me to leave. I was stunned at the complete change in his behavior. I still don't understand what happened and why he acted this way, but to treat me like this after being a long term client is unacceptable and extremely unprofessional and for that reason I would not recommend Craig to anyone. In response to the business owner: Craig, I understand you are in damage control here but what you are saying is simply not true. I told you, when asked, what my pain scale was multiple times. And you know i did. The bottom line is I was literally shown the door and basically told not to come back for crying when I was in pain. You absolutely did not seem upset. Quite the contrary. You were rude. I was stunned by your indifference and your rudeness after being a client for so long. Your behavior towards me was unwarranted and very unprofessional. read more

Craig is a knowledgeable and experienced therapist. He is my go to guy when I get my aches and pains. If you want therapeutic massage and can handle deep pressure he won't let you down! He knows exactly how to manipulate the muscle and attachments to get deep into the problem areas read more

LIFE CHANGING!!! I can't even describe the slump I was in with the back pain I had felt for months before the day I went to see Craig at Pain Release Therapy. Talk about a personalized experience! Craig was EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL and patient from the get go. He inquired on specific areas where I was feeling pain or had been sore and I filled him in on having thrown out my back recently in addition to a pained back. This is more than a massage, his Pain Release Therapy uses a Technique called Active Release. In my words I feel he pin points knots and specific areas of pain that you never knew you had and works those out through pressure and movement. He has so much experience, he seems to know exactly where the pain is, he finds it before you even mention it! ONE OF A KIND! It is not a normal massage although Craig is completely capable of that. The entire time Craig was conscientious of my pain threshold and kept the therapy personalized for my needs. I don't know how else to say it but when I left the building I was able to move as I had not been able to before I walked in. I finally slept so well that evening and two days later I still feel a hundred times better than I did before I went. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK! I couldn't recommend Craig more and already have to multiple people! The day before I went for the first time a coworker saw me walking in pain and said, are you finally ready to get rid of that pain? I took him up on going to Craig after years of not doing so. I bring this up because I have to say DON'T WAIT GO NOW!!! read more

I sit down all day at my job so my back kills me. He gave me CBD cream and with his massage my back doesn't hurt at all anymore. Craig!! Very honest, sweet !! The CBD oil and cream also helped my very painful and cracked toe. Within one week it completely fixed it read more
