I give Amara 5 stars because if you are looking for a relaxing experience out of your massage you…read morewill get that here. I've been here twice with two separate massage therapists and both experiences were great. I'm a runner and so they asked in advance what to work on with my legs, did an excellent job, and I was relaxed. It's located in Old Town down a set of stairs right next to a restaurant on College and Olive. So, it's a bit hidden but that kind of adds to the feel of it all to me. Also, just be aware of your appointment and prime moments for Old Town and parking. Lobby is relaxing enough for the space and staff were kind. The reason that despite giving 5 stars that I hesitate on returning is because I am fairly certain they have raised their prices on massages. It is now $99 for a 1-hour massage and I'm fairly certain it was $80 when I got my first massage there around or less than a year earlier. Maybe I'm wrong but that was strange to me. Perhaps these are Fort Collins rates now but I'm well aware I could get a more affordable, equally high quality massage and experience elsewhere so I may. So consider that component if you are price-conscious but if you are willing to pay this amount, you will have a great experience.

I recently finished my career as a Division I Athlete at the University of Illinois as a Track &…read moreField And Cross Country Athlete. I didn't mean that as a brag, but to emphasize my belief that Dr. Gatteau is one of the most positive influences on my running career. His adjustments were huge for a temporary issue, but he helped me develop a process to approaching my sport from a recovery & wellness perspective that actually helped all areas of my life. I came in the summer of 2013 before my senior year of High school with issues with pretty substantial pain, inflammation, and tightness. He made some pretty important adjustments for the time. But he also taught me how to stretch properly, and to relax and naturally drop into a stretch. Using your parasympathetic nervous system vs. forcing into a stretch (sympathetic). This was all in 3 appointments, in one week when I was on vacation, with a huge impact on my career. Before meeting him, I was "injury prone", and at the time I was stressed, and worrying if I'd be able to complete my last Cross Country season in one piece. Instead I was All-State in Illinois Cross Country, ran a 4:15 mile in Track, and got a Division I scholarship. As I reflect on some of my happiest experiences as an athlete, I'm thankful that Dr. Gatteau helped me develop the relaxation process that allowed me to perform at peak levels.

I met Dr. Gatteau over the holidays when I slipped on ice and threw my back out so badly that I…read morecould barely move. I reached out to him over the New Year's holiday weekend and he responded even though he was heading out of town on vacation. He called me while he was on the road to learn about my problem and recommend someone that could help me right away. The chiropractor he recommended was excellent - the best I ever experienced. He provided a service similar to Dr. Gatteau, combining chiropractic, PT & massage. Dr. Gatteau's kind-hearted help, while he was on vacation, was truly extraordinary, especially since I wasn't a patient and he knew I was visiting from Texas and couldn't become a patient. It's clear that Dr. Gatteau deeply cares about people!
