I met with Patrick, who talked with me for half an hour really inquiring in depth about my pain and limited range. He then worked with me and made some adjustments, and I walked away feeling some relief for the first time in years after my very first session. After seeing him once a week for 6 weeks, I am pain free and have almost 100% range of motion restored. I feel as if the other clinics I visited were treating a cough when I had pneumonia. Patrick got to the crux of the problem and treated me accordingly. I cannot rave enough about this place.

But at Restore Motion, you work with the therapist for the entire hour. I have seen Reshma for pelvic therapy after I had a baby, then Kerry for hip pain. I only had to see them each two times before I felt better. It's amazing - I let myself live with pain for months and then they fixed me in 1-2 weeks. Now my young daughter goes to Kerry for a medical issue. She is wonderful with her - she shares things with Kerry issues that she won't share with me. They have fun together and she trusts her. I'm not sure why anyone would go anywhere that isn't Restore Motion.

Thom Shenk is the reason I am standing today. I've had chronic back pain for years and tried…read moreeverything: massage, chiropractors, heat pads, etc which only ever gave me temporary relief. Then I heard about rolfing. I went for a session or two in 2014 or 2015 to try it out, but I was poor and had a tough time continuing the sessions (they are a little pricey). But last year I was at the end of my rope with the pain in my mid-back, and I would do whatever it took to get some relief. I starting seeing Thom on a regular basis. He was friendly and knowledgeable. His studio is inside "Restore Motion" on the third floor. He has weekend appointments! The parking is also free on the weekend. If you're female you should bring a sports bra and a pair of cotton / bike shorts to the appointment. Rolfing seems like both an art and a science. Thom's attitude is really well-suited to this profession. I don't think it's horribly painful during the session, but my back has been in a lot of pain for years and years. YMMV. I've had at least 15 sessions. Sometimes I would feel amazing afterwards, and sometimes I left in pain. Your body is working through the muscle changes, so don't feel discouraged. Working with Thom and going through this process has been a total life-changer. I have been pain-free for months, although it took some time to get here. As a side note, I did have a week or two where I experienced extreme pain after my session. I wondered if the rolfing was working. This was probably around week 6 or 7. But after that week, something released in me, and THAT's when my pain started to disappear. So stay with it if you can. I'm thankful to have found this place. Thom seems to book up kind of quickly and scheduling can be iffy, so try to book in advance. Weekend appointments are always the toughest to get. Thom is not a texter or emailer so calling seems to be the best way to go. I would highly recommend.

I was able to make a next-day appointment. The employee who answered the phone and made the appointment was very nice and accommodating. Within minutes of me booking my appointment over the phone, she texted me a confirmation and the location details, which was extremely helpful. There was even a picture. I arrive the next day for my massage. Well, the outside is a bit unsuspecting, the inside is quaint and comfortable. The set up is very similar to the types of massage and reflexology spas that she would find in places like Chinatown or K-Town (pick a city). There are small rooms with curtain doorways down the hall. Each room has a bed, a couple shelves, and just enough space for the masseuse to navigate around. My masseuse, whose name I unfortunately, did not catch, started with my back. After giving me a nice massage, which was about a half step lighter than I would have liked in terms of pressure, she applied the cups. After the cups were on, she began massaging other parts of my body. The hot stones were only used on my back and neck while I was faced down. I did ask for deeper pressure at various points. The pressure was pretty good, but it wasn't as deep as I would've liked. The deepest pressure I felt was in my shoulder blades, and that was actually very nice. But for my legs, I definitely should've asked for even more pressure. I didn't want to go too hard because after asking twice, I wasn't sure if she could even go any harder. Lol. The spa is clean. And they are very transparent with pricing. They are also very accommodating and will do things like get you water before and after. When I made the appointment, I was also asked if I had a gender, preference, which I appreciate. Next time, I may opt for a man. They tend to be a little bit rougher, which is what I need sometimes. All in all, though, this was a pretty good massage. The spa was clean, and everyone was very nice.

I joined Get In Shape For Women, Rockville, at the end of January, 2011 with great trepidation. My…read morefood addictions were getting the best of me and I was 100 lbs overweight and was finding it difficult to get out of bed and get motivated. I didn't see that I had anything to look forward to. After six weeks I am feeling much better. I have lost 16 pounds and have a lot more energy. I really enjoy going in to exercise. It's hard work, but already I can feel my body shape changing. Ivan and Tina, the owners, are fantastic and make everyone feel welcome. I have met new friends there and we laugh our way through the hour workout. The Get in Shape for Woman concept is a good one. Four women can start every half hour. The first half hour is weight training. We rotate through four upper or four lower body stations. Some weeks we go through all eight stations and cover the entire body and some weeks we just lift weights for the upper or lower body very slowly. Evidently this confuses our muscle memory so that we don't get into a rut. It is less boring too. While we're doing the weight training, Ivan, or one of his great staff, work with us and make sure we've got correct body alignment. I've had no soreness, but I can tell I'm getting stronger because I'm using heavier weights now. The second half hour is aerobic and uses interval training. There are treadmills and elliptical machines and we go at a manageable pace for 3 minutes and then for 1 minute we push hard and go as fast as we can. After 7 intervals we are finished. With the staff's encouragement I have increased my interval speed from 3.6 to 4.7. Did I mention that the studio manager, Lakesha, checks up on my diet periodically? I get emails and phone calls from her asking about what I've been eating and she is always available to help with issues. Get In Shape For Women has a software program that helps manage one's daily diet. I haven't had much time yet to plan daily menus, but I will. The program has sample menus that can help get you started on the right dietary path. Originally I was worried that I would not be able to keep up because I was so out of shape. I am 58 years old and can not (now) keep up with the 30 and 40 year old women in terms of weights and speed. In this regard there is no competitiveness although I do enjoy the contests to win a day at the spa or even a Mini-Cooper. I would recommend Get in Shape For Women to any woman of any age. It has helped me immensely. Karen G., Rockville MD

My visceral reduced from 13 to 10 and 10 is in a healthy range. After 8 weeks at $250 a week per person, everyone pays the same regardless of your body and your results and they set a goal for you based on your age and height (rather than you setting a goal for yourself, so their model makes it extremely hard to reach their goals for you; they create an "incentive" for lifetime weigh ins and consultation which I think is a false carrot to try to get you to continue to purchase more weeks). Their model includes food packets, which I would prefer to learn to lose weight on real food, and they don't want to tell you how to eat real food until you "graduate"/meet their goals for you. My husband and I did it together. Apparently men lose weight faster than women over 40 , which their model doesn't account for (and they don't tell you) - they calculated my husband and I would lose weight at 4lbs/week and I was more like 1-2lbs/week. I AM pleased with the fact that I lost 10lbs of fat (that was my personal goal) and 15 lbs overall but their model set a goal for me of 28lbs of weight loss, which over 8 weeks was unrealistic and of course at the end of eight weeks they wanted me to purchase an additional six weeks (which I didn't do). I am working with a trainer on a new workout plan to increase my muscle mass for fat burn and cardio intervals (I didn't work out at all over eight weeks which I normally do and they said wouldn't matter for their program) and will continue to eat high protein and vegetables and low carb every 2-4 hours (with 12 hours fasting between 8pm-8am) for the next six weeks and see what my continued results are. It was extremely hard mental work (especially the first two weeks) to get to where I am, so continuing the self discipline and new habits that I have established is an important lifestyle change for me that I do feel prepared for after the first eight weeks, I just don't feel I need EMP180 anymore to do it and was a bit disappointed in their approach and the extremely high cost.
