This is an update of my previous review. The owner Howard called me back after I reached out to him…read moreearlier this week. I thought he was going to resolve this issue and apologize that I was unhappy. Unfortunately, he also said that I waited too long to contact them which was on Tuesday morning. My massage was Friday night. He mentioned that he contacted his legal department and they recommended that I get another massage from a different therapist and pay for it at a discounted rate. There is no way that I am going to give any more money for a massage when I was definitely cheated out of the one that I paid for. I will be going online to the Massage board website to report this as well as the therapist who performed my horrible massage.

I've been delaying writing a review for a few weeks now. Primarily because I didn't want to write…read moreanother generic "this place is great " review. I wanted to give the reader some good information so that you can decide for yourself if this is the place for you. I've been coming to Pathways now for about four months. I originally came because of issues with "tennis elbow". It had been plaguing me for a while and had finally decided to do something about it. I booked online which is easy and my preferred way of doing things. I was a bit surprised when I arrived at the appointed time that this is actually Dave's home. He was warm and inviting when he answered the door. We spent about 15 minutes going over what my problem was and talking about his approach. Before I go into that let me jump ahead a bit and say that The type of massage you get here isn't a "feel good" relaxing type of massage. Dave specializes in Orthopedic issues and the work he does is actually painful. Not so painful that it is unbearable but he is working on problem areas so it isn't a walk in the park. I knew that going in so it wasn't a surprise to me. Dave frequently asks about the level of discomfort you are experiencing and he moderates his pressure so as to not overwhelm you. Now back to the review. Dave's method is to relax the central nervous system first then to work towards the area you are having a problem with. He follows the muscles and connective tissue relaxing it along the way to your trouble spots. When you think about it, this makes perfect sense as any issues leading down to where you think the problem is will only make your problems come back quicker. This works so well that he fixed my tennis elbow in one visit though this is probably a bit unusual. I also didn't wait long before seeking help so that probably played a factor too. Now I see Dave more for general wellness than specific issues. As he works through various muscle groups we find places that are all tied up and as he works them loose I feel so much better. I used to see a chiropractor but now that I see Dave, I don't need to. With the muscles in my back being loosened, I get the same benefit and the results last twice as long as a visit to a chiropractor. If you need the intense therapy of a orthopedic massage therapist, you won't go wrong here.

This was my first experience ever with the foot bath and colonic and I will highly recommend it…read moretime and time over. Rebecca was the one who sat my friends and I, got us started and informed us of details of what come with the foot bath and what to expect. Not only was she informative but she was super sweet and friendly. If you are unfamiliar with the iconic foot bath your feet go into a Spa like tub where they add salt water and a machine that generates any toxins that your body may be holding onto and in return your foot water color will change. They have a chart that tells you what the color of your foot bath means and what is being drawn out of your body. (It's gross but also really cool to see)!! Once we finished our 30 minute session with Rebecca and the footbath we then were instructed to go to a colonic room where Trish instructed us on what a Colonic benefits for you and how to insert the instruments provided. (Believe it or not inserting was the easiest part)! At least for me. Once the instructional was over, Trish and my friends left me to myself to begin the process. They provide you with a disposable gloves, blue, and the tube that will be inserted. As this was my first time naturally I was nervous about inserting myself however I did feel that that was the easiest part on this journey as I did not know you had to release the water and (other findings) yourself I thought it was all just supposed to come out on its own (boy was I wrong)! I did hold the water that was being inserted for too long which causes your stomach to cramp (like you have to go to the bathroom) and for a first timer that's probably not the best to hold in the water you want to release. After 10 minutes I told Trish I think I was done because the cramping was so intense however she was extremely sweet and encouraged me to keep going and I'm so glad that she did because once I was told I had to release it was so much easier!! You do have the option also to see your movements and what you are releasing. Once my 30 minute session was up they instruct you on how to clean up your self they provide a sprayer which is extremely convenient as well as wipes (which are warm) and paper towel. As a first time or they do tell you that you probably will release more after your session is finished and you remove the tube I was one of those people who experienced that and I just used the sprayer to clean myself up. With all that being said I do highly recommend everyone experiencing a Colonic twice in their life it is definitely a good experience I woke up the next morning not feeling bloated I ate two meals so far and I feel satisfied I don't feel overly full, or bloated. They do recommend what they call a "back to back"session however my schedule is so crazy I am unable to do a back to back session but I will be back and continue to go back
