Therapeutic Massage by Andrew

I have been going to Andrew for massage for many years. I literally drive across the bridge because he is that good. I have had several surgeries on my shoulders to repair damage from sports played when I was in my 20's. Recently, we decided to spend the bulk of my weekly massage on my shoulder cuffs to address range of motion and ongoing pain. He applied skills and techniques to address these issues, and after several weeks I feel a greater range of motion and a reduction in pain. I appreciate that he spent the time to understand what's happening in my shoulders, and researched different ways to address them. While I like a general massage, these targeted massages in conjunction with physical therapy have had a very positive impact on my shoulders.

Self care is an integral part of good life. Regular massage has been one of my key components of my own self care regime for many years. A few months back, the masseur that I have depended on for the past seven years left the area. Good for him; bad for me! Since he was my provider for so long, I had no idea of the challenge ahead for me. Over time he became so in tune with my needs, so finding the “new” right masseur to meet my needs became a quest. I had many attempts to find an equally focused expert healer similar to my former masseur. Sadly, many of the masseurs I tried did not click for me. Then I found Drew. His dedication to providing excellent treatment was first revealed when he juggled his day to fit me in the evening before he was off for an overseas vacation. I had shared some of my challenges about my masseur quest while talking with him on the phone. I was ready to wait on his return, but Drew insisted he could make time for me that evening. HUZZAH! I am delighted to say his massage was nothing short of exceptional. Drew’s charming personality is second only to his masterful massage skills. I immediately felt totally comfortable and assured that I had connected with a truly gifted healer. How do I know this? Well, today I scheduled my second massage with Drew to confirm the intuition from my first massage. Unbelievable! I splurged for the two hour session as a personal treat. Drew made me feel like a million bucks. My comfort level is as if we have known each other for decades and his approach to addressing my chronic issues is spot on. Drew is the real deal and you cannot fine a better, more committed masseur. I know as I have been search for many months! SCORE!

I had my first session with Andrew today. I had been wanting to try him for a while now but my schedule didn’t allow it before. It was well worth the wait! I received an excellent massage. His therapeutic massage was intentional, focused and fluid. His hands are very powerful, for those of us who love deep tissue. As a therapist myself, I have no reservations in recommending him. Andrew is skilled and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to have another awesome two hour session.

I have been looking for a massage therapist that can do very specific work on my neck and upper body. I have been in quite a bit of pain and unable to fully work as a massage therapist. I had an hour with Andrew where I asked that he only work on my upper body. He was able to execute a fantastic balance between deep work with specificity on muscles and attachment sites without making the mistake I often encounter of using deep tissue as a blunt instrument. I have booked two further appointments as I am convinced he has the skills to help me overcome my neck pain.

I have been going to Andrew regularly since I was vaccinated. I was looking for a female, but Andrew came recommended to me so I decided to give him a try. I am a runner and was having low back and ankle pain that was interfering with my runs. Andrew patiently focused on the areas I pointed out and was diligent in finding muscles and muscle attachment sites that contributed to my trouble areas. The massage is intense, extremely deep work in sensitive areas. Nevertheless Andrew works with me to ensure that the work is productive and that he leaves time to help me relax at the end of the massage with neck work that leaves me feeling terrific. I highly recommend scheduling a session, especially if you are an athlete and want someone to be part of your "team". He is most definitely part of my team.

I have been going to Andrew since before the pandemic and eagerly awaited him opening back up after vaccinations. I cycle every day and end up with tightness in my legs and glutes. I appreciate Andrew's flexibility in providing a 30 minute lower body massage during my lunch breaks from work, and his expertise in stretching my legs and finding the right amount of pressure to give me relief in tightness that makes it hard to cycle at times. He takes the time to find exactly what is going on with me and I feel like I am getting a personalized experience each time I see him. I highly recommend seeing him if you have muscle tightness impeding your athletic activities.

I saw Andrew because I aggravated an old soccer injury in my lower back. He took the time to find where the issues were and to work them out in different massage positions. Highly Recommend.

I’ve seen Drew for a few massages here and there over the years. More recently I’ve had some specific pains that needed addressing and visited several times near the end of the year. I was having acute back pain, and visited another local masseur when Drew was on vacation, who provided relief but little insight about the possible nature of my pain. On a subsequent visit, Drew’s intuitive hands, keen eye and clear communication helped determine a possible cause, and he recommended I check with my chiropractor about a few ribs that seemed out of place. Drew was right! My hours with him always leave me relaxed and feeling better than when I arrived. His continued learning on top of his years of experience mean he’s able to address problems with multiple techniques, and I really appreciate his specific attention to what’s going on with my body at the time. It’s not a cookie cutter massage.

Drew is a very professional, skilled and experienced massage therapist. I came with a few specific issues and he intuitively found all my tight sore spots - even more than I’d imagined - and did deep specific work that felt much needed and very opening. I left being able to breathe deeper and move easier than I have in a long time. Excellent deep tissue work! Drew knows what he’s doing. I’ll be back.

I sought a massage with Andrew for a shoulder rotator cuff injury. He put me in all kinds of positions to address my issue and by the end of the session I experienced greater range of motion. He really helped me get back of the tennis court! I was impressed by his skill and determination to help me. I highly recommended him.

Great massage! I have been suffering from neck pain from poor posture and office work which Andrew worked on specifically and the improvement has been drastic!

Would recommend especially if you are looking for therapeutic massage work.
