I have been seeing Dr. Bill Bastian for several years now and I always walk out feeling amazing! Not only does he work on my neck pain and back pain but his years of experience with mental/emotional stuff (specifically PTSD) always has me leaving with higher spirits and a better outlook on life. He really takes the time to figure out exactly what I need and then also teaches me tools to implement at home. Dr. Bill Bastian's bed side manner is nothing short of impeccable. His needling technique is also great, I almost never feel the needles! I love coming to this office; it's so clean and gorgeous and I always leave feeling better than when I came.

I was in rough shape from old injuries. My mobility became limited as I settled into a cycle of…read morechronic pain and being too sedentary. After falling half a dozen times, my hips were rigidly locked up for well over a year. I ached while sitting, standing, or lying down. That means all of the time. :-) I needed help. I headed to Palm Springs where I made regular massage and chiropractic appointments over a few months with the Palm Springs Healing Center, (kind of desperately) hoping for change. The short story: I left Palm Springs three months later in much, much better shape than when I arrived! The Center has an easygoing professional style. There is no hard sell to use the myriad of services they offer. (Acupuncture, herbal medicine, chiropractic, massage therapy, colon hydrotherapy, and more.) The front-end folks are friendly and helpful. Stunning photography, lots of interesting reading and a nice beverage set-up make for a pleasant short wait. My massage therapist, Susanne Arnold, used myofascial release (intense, very deep work to break up long-term rigid muscle spasm) as it's one of her special interests. We worked to stretch and release spasm I had for decades, such as the bulging cherry-sized knots under my jaw and ears from extensive cervical neck damage after being rear-ended by a semi-truck. They are nearly unnoticeable now. I have had a lot of massages, but this work was different in that it went past giving me instant relief into changing my actual structure for the better over time. She is a massage powerhouse. She has other massage talents, but the myofascial release was integral for the changes I needed. Those hips that hurt so much I couldn't handle an afternoon at the Palm Springs Art Museum? They got miraculously better thanks to Dr. Scott Redfern. I diligently pushed myself to walk (it hurt) for miles in the Palm Springs sunshine and went for regular chiropractic adjustments with Dr. Scott. You immediately feel his sincere interest in helping you feel better! But, it's more than the chiropractic adjustments... His style promotes calmness and healing. His patient rooms have pacific blue walls with relaxing music playing--he pays attention to the details. He starts his treatment with electric muscle stimulation and heat to relax the back muscles. (We don't have those with chiropractic in Washington state.) My neck and arm discomfort markedly lessened with his adjustments. Yet, for many weeks my hips and sacroiliac joint stubbornly didn't budge and I secretly wondered if they still would. You can sense where this is going... With carefully targeted adjustments Dr. Scott got my hips to unlock! That is a really, really big event for me. I would have done a cartwheel if I could! I invested in massage and chiropractic treatments over a few months hoping to feel better and it worked. My time in Palm Springs and at the Palm Springs Healing Center was totally worth it. My mobility and chronic pain are so improved that I am able to do activities I had to skip before. My attitude improved a whole lot, too. I head home feeling a lot more healthy and happy. Would I go back to the Palm Springs Healing Center for health tune-ups? Absolutely!

I recently had the pleasure of receiving a massage and sound bath from Mike at Zen Muscle Massage,…read moreand it was a beautiful and exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, Mike made me feel welcome and at ease. He took the time to understand my specific needs and areas of tension (back and shoulders, legs) and he ensured that the entire session was tailored to my comfort. The massage itself was both relaxing and healing. His technique easily blended deep tissue work with more soothing strokes to promote total relaxation. I could feel the stress melt away as he worked through the knots in my back and shoulders, leaving me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to go back into the world. What stood out most to me was his attention to detail and his open manner. Mike ensured that I was comfortable throughout the session, checking in periodically and unobtrusively to make sure the pressure was right. Mike is clearly a master of his art and very passionate about his work. He dedicated his complete attention to my having an amazing massage. His studio was quite lovely, and I was completely immersed in the sound and night sky he projected on the walls and ceiling. The music was soothing, and enhanced by a calming, restorative sound bath, which added deeper layer of relaxation. I recommend Mike wholeheartedly for a personalized, high quality massage experience: he is now my go-to therapist.

The most painful thing I've endured in my 70+ years. Askat was my ideal-he explained the techniques, the science or mystery behind the art, which I really appreciated. Great "bedside" manner, a very wry wit, a very comfortable table and space, and mostly importantly, EFFECTIVE. I have used Accupuncture for a long time, mostly as a prophylaxis, and Askat used several methods that transformed me from a mess to a functional being. And then I was beset with an GI issue that arose in the meantime. He treated me for it while dealing with the back issue. I went to ER at the urging of too many people the same day. Their tests revealed I was quite healthy but they could not explain my issue. The day after his treatment and my ER visit, I got up without any issues and have remained that way. I couldn't explain why I was "cured" as ER gave me nothing. When I returned for another back treatment and then recalled his treating my GI. Epiphany! I would call him a god, but as a devout atheist (thank god!), that would be wrong. And he would be the last one to claim that mantle. Do yourself a favor and visit Desert Wellness.
