I’m a runner and was experiencing very bad knee pain. From years of running and poor stretching, my calf and upper thigh muscles were so tight they were causing pressure and stress on my knee joints, causing chronic pain. The pain was so bad that I could not walk up or down stairs, let alone run. I went to physical therapy, which didn’t help and saw a doctor to consider surgery. My doctor recommended that I scale back my running to 4 or 5 miles per week, instead of 40 or 50 miles. Hoping to avoid surgery, I decided to try therapeutic massage. After my first session, the pressure and pain in my knees was gone! Dan released trigger points, relaxed the muscles, and showed me stretches that I could do at home to help maintain my flexibility. I am happy to say I’m now pain-free and running again. Thanks Dan. D.P. – White Lake, MI
I am a cancer survivor and have found that regular massage has assisted in my post treatment. I lost a lot of weight, but Dan uses various techniques that ease my muscle tension and tightness without causing pain and his pressure is just right. I feel great after my massage, energized and looking forward to my next session. S.R. – Ann Arbor, MI
I was experiencing severe lower back pain and decided to see if therapeutic massage would help. The massage was so much more than I ever expected. Dan found and released tight areas in my back that were causing pain and then did some stretches afterward that also helped. I felt very comfortable with Dan, from his draping techniques and letting me know that I may be sore the next day, but in a good way, to the stretches he recommended that I could perform at home.

As a massage therapist myself, I have extensive experience with receiving as well as giving massage; I know what works, and I know what I like. I came to Dan with a number of both general and specific concerns, ranging from insomnia to chronic back issues. After one session with Dan, I knew I had found an exceptionally gifted practitioner. Dan's depth of knowledge about the human body and his broad range of skills are truly impressive; it took him only minutes to get closer to the root of my problems than dozens of visits to other practitioners achieved. With every subsequent session with Dan, we have covered even more ground. I feel extremely fortunate for the opportunity to place a good share of my well-being in Dan's able hands!

I recently saw Dan for a massage and had an outstanding experience. I am recovering from knee surgery and suddenly began having knee pain while trying to work out on an elliptical machine. In addition to the overall massage, Dan performed neuromuscular therapy and myofascial release on the muscles around my knee. I was back on the elliptical machine the next day with no pain. The facilitated stretching was also remarkable. The entire experience and setting were great and I would highly recommend his services. T.J. – Ann Arbor, MI
