As a bigger guy, the idea of a massage is not always very relaxing due to self confidence issues. After switching to a new job with new stress and life events, my whole body ached daily from tension and stress. I decided to try the new guy in the area. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a big smile and a warm welcome. Almost instantly I felt at ease about this appointment. We sat down, discussed my job, my stressors and in general why I was there. My shoulders and back were all knotted up with life. He walked me to the room, told me to get undressed etc and left while I got changed and covered up. I laid on the table feeling very self conscious and a few minutes later he walked in, turned on some relaxing music and asked if I was ready. He started at my shoulders and began working. I immediately felt the tension loosening in my body. As he worked he asked about pressure and adjusted based on my answer. At one point I jokingly asked if he had a towel because I was so relaxed I was worried I would begin drooling. When he finished, I was a puddle on the table and was concerned I would need a while to get up and leave. He told me to take my time, asked if I needed anything and then said he would see me outside. This was the most relaxing massage I've ever experienced. Chad was personable, comforting and had hands that were MAGIC. I've gone several times and I would recommend him to anyone in and around the Florence area. His schedule availability is also very accommodating for those that work M-F 9-5 type jobs. It was an amazing experience. read more
