I've had issues with my upper back for a few years and visited a chiropractor and a few different massage therapist. Although all the therapist acknowledged muscle knots or tension points in my back between my shoulders, none seemed to know the root cause or how to resolve it. My personal trainer recommended I see a true sports massage therapist. The first visit with Nick he identified the issue I had was abrasions or scar tissue on my muscles, which surprised me, considering I've never had an injury or anything that I would expect to cause this. Nick explained that's it totally reversible, he was able to break up the abrasions and that released the tension and pain. Through research I learned this is very common for people that work in IT and sit hunched over day after day at the keyboard. The continued misuse of the muscle causes strain/injury and callogen that is produced to repair the muscle calcifies over time causing the abrasion. I work out regularly and was having pretty severe pain when I finally found Nick, after the first visit I could tell a huge difference. I've started to see Nick monthly as a preventative measure which is making a significant difference in my overall weight training and recovery. I've already recommended Nick to many friends and coworkers, if you're reading this, I hope you give him a try too!
I have had 2 massages with Nick and although I had reservations about getting a massage from a male therapist, Nick was very good about assuring me and making me feel comfortable. He is very thorough and targeted in his approach, making sure to listen and direct his efforts where needed the most. I have lots of pain when walking due to continuous hip pain after a hip replacement, but I can walk for days without pain after seeing Nick. Thank you Nick!
Nick is simply amazing. I am a young adult 23 and have had tension headaches for the past year at least. I was too embarrassed to admit I needed to do anything because, hey I am too young to hurt! I finally gave in and went and saw Nick. After my first upper body deep tissue massage I went from 7 days a week with heads to only one and that was the night before my next session! After 2 appointments with Nick I had ZERO headaches, my upper shoulders finally stopped hurting and I actually had the best sleep ever! I will continue to see Nick because I NEVER want to feel l did before AGAIN! All the praise to Nick : You have a customer for life!
I have scheduled 2 massages with Nick in the past year. My Girlfriend and I always go together, and she has been seeing Nick for many years previous. We love seeing Nick and he is always happy to see us too. I tend to relax during my massage sessions and not have a lot of conversation, which Nick respects and most of my sessions are in silence. While my girlfriend tends to catch up and has nice conversations with Nick. Nick is very knowledgeable about massage therapy and completely customizes my massages to my lifestyle. I have been very happy with my experience with Nick and am currently scheduling our next session!
After a bad experience with a local chiropractor, a friend, and client of Nick’s, recommended I see him. I’d been struggling with neck, back, and shoulder pain. After the first visit, I had almost full range of my neck again, no aching knots in my shoulders, and the headaches caused by the chiropractor were gone. I go every month now and have tried the full body sports massage Swedish massage. I highly recommend having one in the afternoon, especially if you something you need to be “on” for. I returned to work and felt like I had endless energy and amazing mental clarity. Nick has kept me pain free when I run, and workout in the gym.
