I'm surprised to know I'm a very tense person, and I'm also recovering from some assorted injuries; I was excited to have a full 90-minute massage, thanks to Groupon. Dave was professional and attentive, and paid special attention to my neck and jaw - I have TMJ from an injury that is so bad it's pulling my jaw to the side and many health providers have been wary to address it. Dave was also cautious, but helped relieve some tension built up in my jaw and facial muscles so I could really relax and enjoy the rest of the massage. He also worked wonders on my arms and shoulder blades. This is definitely a therapeutic massage, but it's the real deal. Tension was worked out systematically and I felt things move that haven't been loosened in ages, even with yoga and chiropractic care. I also appreciated that he was willing to let me zone out and relax or chat about whatever weird things came to mind. I will also mention that I have been putting off getting an eye exam, but was so relaxed after this massage I couldn't focus my eyes (usually I am tense and my eyes are working overtime, and I just couldn't get them to kick into gear). I scheduled another appointment with Dave (and hopefully my insurance will pay for the next one, though even out of pocket it is definitely worth it), and promptly called my optometrist to get my glasses updated.
