When I went to see Alper I was a mess. Physically my back was seized up due to my work lifestyle, and injury. mentally, I was so absorbed into my work I was very unhealthy. While Alper released the pressure on my back, we had a great conversation about getting me back on track. He was sincere, and unlike many other massage therapists, he didn't claim to be able to cure me overnight. He put the ball in my court and told me that as much good as I he can do, it is up to me to make form good habits, do stretches, and work in a smart way that would benefit me long term. His calming personality, amazing technique, and very knowledgeable advice about things I could do at home for my pain inspired me to make a difference in my life style and I am currently feeling great!
