To coin the phrase 'paying for the sins of my youth', I'm now a retired senior who has suffered from chronic pain most of my life due to disabling injuries sustained in the 70's and 80's, with the coup de grace occurring in 2017 with a neck injury. Without delving into details, my injuries have resulted in skeletal, muscular, and nerve damage that's pretty much left me struggling with mobility issues and chronic pain. I've gone the full gambit of care, including multiple surgeries, various physical therapy modalities, chiropractic, acupuncture, acupressure, massage therapy, and just about any modality that could give me some relief. The only thing I've found to help reduce and/or manage the pain when experiencing flare ups is massage therapy by a qualified and experienced therapist, which, in my experience, are few and far between. Prior to retiring to the Long Beach Peninsula in 2020, I began my search for a qualified therapist and, after trying a few here locally with disappointing results, a friend referred me to Diane Duprez, a long-time established massage provider here on the Peninsula. I'm very grateful for that referral. Diane's been able to give me relief, albeit temporary, since I started going to her over a year ago. I've found Diane to be a highly qualified, knowledgeable, and experienced therapist well versed in human anatomy and various massage techniques. Furthermore, I've found her to be very professional both in her practice, techniques and treatment, but also in her communications, timeliness, and punctuality, unlike the other practitioners I'd seen on the Peninsula. As such, I highly recommend Diane Duprez to those needing a professional massage for relief of pain, stress, and anxieties, or just to relax and feel better. read more
