| - From Dee S.'s review, I have had two appointments with Scott. Fortunately for me, I did not come here because of a car accident. However, as some of you witnessed at the Kabuki grand opening event in Tivoli Village, I have had reoccurring lower back pain, usually excruciatingly painful. I was unable to stand up straight sometimes. The first three major instances of the pain this past year, I was relieved with Aquastretch Therapy at UNLV. After I returned from my last international trip, the pain was unbearable and Aquastretch did not help.
I tried desperately to get an appointment with orthopedic specialist, but to no avail. It is nearly impossible to see a doctor for back pain - the wait was almost a month! I could not wait. I considered a sports injury style massage and found Dee's review. On the web site, there was a special for new clients: $150 for 2 90-minute massages (buy 1 get 1 free). The normal rate is $100 per hour, so this deal made it $50 an hour. This was worth a try for me.
The first time I went, I learned a lot from Scott about my pain. My right leg was jammed up into my hip so my legs were uneven. He was able to get me back to alignment. He did moderate to deep and like Dee said, this is no relaxation massage - don't expect to feel like you are at a spa in the luxury hotels here. I handled the discomfort because I know he was working the painful areas to get me back to normal. He tested my leg strength and it was quite limited. Some acupressure helped me gain some strength back. He recommended daily stretching.
After I left, I was in pain for 3 to 4 days still and I was worried. However, the pain faded and has been gone for around 5 weeks. I still can't touch my toes like I did before this pain started a year ago, but I can stretch, stand, walk, lay, sit, and do almost anything normal without the crazy pain I had previously experienced several times. Today I had my follow up appointment. My leg strength was much stronger, and Scott lightened his pressure at my request. I am confident that my pain will be kept at bay. Next, I need to try yoga to get more flexibility.
FYI: There is around a $6 charge for credit card payments. The building is behind the US Bank off Lake Mead a few blocks west of the 95, so turn into the bank and go around the back on the right of the office building complex. Remember, come here to relieve pain from injuries - athletic or otherwise. I did both appointments on Saturdays - there is a lot of availability but Scott does fill up so call well in advance.
