D. Is the best massage practitioner I have ever had. When you arrive D asks you how your body is and is there any where you want focused on. And then D listens and responds to your needs. I find D intuitive to my body, listening through how my body responds while being massaged and works the knots and sore spots.
There really is not enough positive things I can say about working with D. The office is small but impeccably clean. I have felt very comfortable through Covid going back and receiving massages even though it is indoors. D and I both wear masks, not a big deal, you settle in and the pur of the air purifier is soothing.
I have recommended friends to D’s practice and everyone has raved about their experience and many are now regular clients.
I've been utilizing bodywork to treat various injuries since age 14 - I have had a ton of massage and have had too many therapists to count. Don is unlike any physical healer I have ever worked with, and the only logical explanation for it is that he has supernatural powers. I keep writing and rewriting this review because it is frankly impossible to capture Don's magic in just a handful sentences, but here goes my attempt!
I have had the privilege of being Don's Client for a little over 2 years now. I originally came in for help with a severe shoulder/neck muscle spasm that first happened in August 2019. I tried physical therapy for several months (no improvement), acupuncture (effective but very short-lived relief), muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatories, and several topicals. It continued to cause daily headaches, stabbing pain, sleeping problems, and mobility issues, and the acute flare-ups left me bedridden for days. After about 3 months of weeklyish sessions with Don, my spasm improved so dramatically that my symptoms all but disappeared. Over a year later, I continue to experience sustained relief with very rare flare-ups - and even the flare-ups are manageable now.
For most of this last year, my sessions with Don have focused on treating my Long Haul Covid symptoms - it has wreaked havoc on my body and has deeply impacted my mental health. My sessions with Don have been one of the most reliable and powerful sources of comfort and relief I have found - not only for my body, but for my mind and spirit, too. I don't know how Don is able to make such magic happen in 60-90 minutes, but what I do know is that I consistently arrive at his office feeling sore, broken and defeated, he somehow figures out exactly how to put me back together, and I leave every single session without pain, feeling weightless, optimistic, and euphoric. That's the most valuable experience I can possibly think to offer myself right now.
My only grievance is that word has clearly gotten out about this gem, so I can't get in to see him as often as I'd like ;) But I mean, I'd seriously be on the table every day if I could. Go see Don, and experience true, lasting relief.
