Let's start off with the fact that I got a LivingSocial deal for an hour long massage, a chiropractic adjustment, and an evaluation. I forgot how much I paid, but all I knew was it was a FANTASTIC deal that I had to jump on it... and believe me, I jump on a lot of deals involving massages.
I'm also one of those people who buy deals on LS or Groupon, and don't use them until the VERY last minute (I called a day before it expired to try to get in). They didn't have any appointments open, but they did allow last minute callers to book an appoint on certain days, even after the expiration date. I was scheduled in two weeks later. Even if they wouldn't allow me to redeem, I would have just gotten a refund from Living Social, but I'm glad I got to use it. I think that was great customer service on their part, BECAUSE they are looking at a new repeat client!!
I got there half an hour early (my GPS tried to point me down further from where the office was, but good thing I was aware!) and I was greeted by the receptionist and then filled out information via electronic tablet.
Soon, I was put in a room with Dr. Yarmand. He asked me questions about my problems spots, and even raised questions that I never thought about (like numbness when I type). He then showed me a virtual bone/muscle diagram on his laptop and went through some explanations. Afterwards, he showed me out and put me in the care of the massage therapist: Anthony.
Out of the 100+ massages I've had, I must say I never had one like Anthony. Reason being is that every other massage I've had, it was always just a massage plus some type of soothing music, dim light, and scented fragrance. Yes, you get that here, but I never felt any sort of connection. Other places, it's just come get your massage and go. But I actually had a real conversation with Anthony during the whole massage session and I must say I really liked that. I understand that other places, it's all about relaxation, but I thought it was quite nice to have someone to talk to while getting a massage.
After, I got the chiropractic adjustment. I like how Dr. Yarmand is aware of his patients. I didn't have to wait, just after I left the massage room, he showed me to the adjustment area. Other places, I'd have to wait at least 5 minutes until I get the next part of whatever the massage package was.
And... as Ivy K. said, "Holy life-changing experience, Batman!!"
I've been to another Chiropractor before, and I've been adjusted... but OMG. Dr. Yarmand's hands are like magic. MAGIC! I never felt such relief before. I must return. Yes, I will return... once I save some money. read more
