Break-Thru !!! I can easily recommend Mr. Phillip Malone, LMT as a well-rounded professional License Massage Therapist that has: insight, professional courtesy and etiquette, and wants to succeed in helping folks tackle their unwanted tendencies of muscle tension and alignment. When I first had an appointment with Mr. Phillip, he noticed something in my physical statue, particularly my shoulders and how they were up and my head was bending forward. In other words, after a time I would be looking more at the ground than straight ahead. He requested my permission to work on my shoulders which was differently than I had experienced by a LMT. I agreed and that was my First Break-Thru! Mr. Phillip identified the problem and applied the right therapy. I mentioned that no other LMT addressed or even identified my specific problem. His comments were that most all LMT s are similarly trained. That may be I replied but none of the others, and I have been to a few, could recognize what you just did. After that initial appointment and first Break-Thru! I made additional appointments to further my progress of proper alignment and evenness of one side of the body to another. Mr. Phillip's insight, instructions as to how to help oneself, and his systematic massage therapy approach uncovered what was the core of my tight shoulders and neck hidden under my shoulder blade or scapula. That was the Second Break-Thru !! Now I am on my way to standing and moving in a more complete, comfortable, and upright manner. Both myself and Mr. Phillip have discussed and we're confident that the final Break Thru !!! will occur shortly, as my condition has improved tremendously. I said, "When we beat this condition I want a photo of us in a congratulatory hand shake". John Kruze - Commercial Appraiser read more

I have had the pleasure of not only receiving excellent bodywork from Phillip, but also studying, practicing, and pursuing a better understanding of the human body and how best to address its function and dysfunction. He never fails to think outside of the box, coming up with new ways to treat a client. He is honest and straightforward, passionate about his work, creating an environment of security and open communication. Phillip's techniques are able to address pain and discomfort through active and passive movements, active release techniques, pin and stretch of the muscle, and deep tissue muscle stripping. All of these are accompanied by an educated touch which is soft enough to listen to the person, body, and tissues being changed by his therapeutic bodywork. If you want to get over and injury or live life in your body more optimally, go see Phillip. As a fellow massage therapist he is who I call. read more

Phillip is excellent!! I and my crew were delighted we found him. I'm a member of the Jolly Rovers Trail Crew, out of the Hudson Valley of NY. We were at Mt. Monadnock building stone steps on the White Cross Trail. I pushed myself a little to far and the old lower back tightened up like a fist with the familiar sharp stabs of pain referring around to the front of my hips. I have a massage therapist back in Jersey I've been with for over 20 years, occasionally I cheat on him but have never found anyone to be his equal until now! Phillip analyzed my situation and got to work reliving the tension and eliminating the pain. Another crew member also had a session with him and afterwords we made arrangements for him to come to our camp where he treated 7 other members, he was a Big Hit!! Next time I'm in the area I'll be stopping by for sure. read more

I had a great experience with Phillip. After taking the time to listen and understand the challenges I was facing, he focused deeply on precisely the areas I hoped he would. He clearly has a detailed knowledge of the human body, and took the time to share his thoughts on my particular situation. He gave me helpful exercises and recommendations to take home so that I can continue to address the problem on a daily basis. Slightly different from other massage therapists I have visited, Phillip has the client interacting and moving while he works on a specific area in order to reach different parts of the tissue and, perhaps as a peripheral benefit, to teach the client a bit more about the nature and depth of the problem. I certainly felt I gained some new insights into an old problem, and am grateful for that. read more

I began having sessions with Phillip seven months ago, hoping to get some relief from intense, chronic back pain related to scoliosis. His skilled and sensitive work not only brought consistent pain relief, but his interest in my condition and the research he did (out of his own interest and care) led me to a Schroth physical therapist who is helping me with postural change and breathing techniques. My pain level has diminished dramatically - and - I can see that my ongoing work with Phillip in conjunction with the Schroth method is leading to increasing strength and freedom of movement. I have had a lot of body work over the past five years but have never met a practitioner with such skill, compassion and interest. I am grateful to have met him and can easily give him the highest recomendation. read more

I honestly can't recommend Phillip Malone more whole-heartedly! I agree with the previous reviewer who basically said that if you want a feel good massage, Phillip is not your man. Conversely, he is EXTREMELY adept at locating exactly what the problem areas are and how to address them--sometimes even with unusual bodily contortions! LOL But make no mistake, Phillip is the best massage therapist I have found in the 30 years that I've been receiving massages! He is very knowledgeable, professional and has a friendly, happy demeanor. I have been using his services for the past year and have become happier and healthier because of his healing hands! read more

I have received many massages from Phillip for chronic pain that I have from old sports injuries. His technique is therapeutic vs. spa, which I've found really helps get to the core of the issue and has lasting effects instead of just feeling relaxing for a few hours before the pain returns. I would highly recommend Phillip for people who have chronic pain/muscular concerns that are wanting lasting relief from it. He also helps you develop exercises you can do at home to continue the healing process which I really appreciate. read more

Phillip's extensive knowledge and understanding of anatomy and physiology allows him to target the exact root of muscle pain. His techniques provide effective, lasting pain relief -- he even recommends exercises you can do at home to further reap the benefits from your session. His ability to make you feel comfortable through excellent communication is supported by his confidence and professionalism. It's clear that Phillip's practice is fueled by his passion, making him a leader in his field. read more

I've seen Phillip several times for upper body pain concerns. His Anatomy and Kinesiology knowledge base is very impressive and without that you can't be an excellent body worker! Great communication, quick to return phone calls and easy to make an appointment with. His work was very helpful and he reduced my pain significantly with the body work and his home recommendations. Lise C. BS, LMT, CA read more

This was my first massage, and the entire time I felt so comfortable. This was an awesome first experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to talk with Phillip and have him address some specific concerns so professionally while also having fun! I'm bummed that I moved across the country so I can't schedule appointments more frequently. Definitely recommend. read more

I have had several sessions with Phillip to help with some issues in my right SI joint. He is very thorough, thoughtful and supportive in his technique to get the tissue to release. He uses deep myofascial work & passive/active pinning and stretching. I'm looking forward to more work with him as Phillip is a very knowledgeable therapist! read more

Philip has been keeping my 73 year old knees and hips working well for quite awhile. He is also m ost helpful when it comes to explaining what I can do to help myself stay in shape between visits. Can't imagine ever needing any other massage therapist read more

In a matter of two sessions he was able to greatly reduce discomfort and improve my range of motion. A total professional who is incredibly knowledgable. I'd recommend him without hesitation! read more
