Having seen many body-workers for all types of conditions for the last 30 years, I am very picky. I could tell right away that Tom was outstanding.

Despite the pain I was in, I immediately felt at ease as soon as he began his work. After just one session, my pain was reduced by about 60%, and by the second session, it was completely gone. He is the best body-worker I have found in the Santa Cruz area. I can't recommend him enough!

Obviously, the strain must have been severe enough. I consulted Marcus. I had 2 sessions, and I can now run again without any pain. Yes!!! Thank you so much Marcus.

I've been utilizing bodywork to treat various injuries since age 14 - I have had a ton of massage…read moreand have had too many therapists to count. Don is unlike any physical healer I have ever worked with, and the only logical explanation is that he has supernatural powers. I keep writing and rewriting this review because it is frankly impossible to capture Don's magic in just a handful sentences, but here goes my attempt! I have had the privilege of being Don's Client for a little over 2 years now. I originally came in looking to treat a severe shoulder/neck muscle spasm that first happened in August 2019 - I tried physical therapy for several months (no improvement), acupuncture (very effective but very short-lived relief), muscle relaxers, and all sorts of topical anti-inflammatories. It continued to cause me daily headaches, stabbing pain, sleeping problems, and mobility issues, and the acute flare-ups left me bedridden for days. After about 3 months of weekly sessions with Don, my spasm improved so dramatically that my symptoms all but disappeared. Over a year later, I continue to experience relief with very rare flare-ups - and even the flare-ups are manageable. For most of this last year, I have suffered from Long Haul Covid - it has wreaked havoc on my body and has deeply impacted my mental health. Hope and peacefulness are precious commodities that are often difficult to access while navigating this ordeal. My sessions with Don have been one of the most reliable and powerful sources of comfort and relief I have found - not only for my body, but for my mind and spirit, too. I don't know how Don is able to make such magic happen in 60-90 minutes, but what I do know is that I consistently arrive at his office feeling pretty broken and defeated, he somehow figures out exactly how to put me back together, and I leave every single session feeling pain-free, weightless, optimistic, and euphoric. That's the most valuable experience I can possibly think to offer myself right now. My only grievance is that word has clearly gotten out about this gem, and I can't get in to see him as often as I'd like (but I mean, I'd seriously be on the table every day if I could). Go see Don, and experience true, lasting relief.

(See photo) When I called to schedule appointment, Phil said the appointment would be a 50 minutes of chatting/therapy session and the remaining time would be to discuss further treatment with purchasing supplements- WHAT? I paid for this groupon specifically because I have debilitating back pain and needed a massage. I do not need personal therapy or to give you more money to buy vitamins from you. When I told him that was not the groupon I purchased he told me I would have to "find someone else." I asked what he meant by that and he got very weird and short with me. I said so you won't refuse to redeem the services I paid for and that you advertised?? He got very rude, said he had to get off the phone and hung up on me. I had to call groupon to get my money back. Hassle in itself. This guy is a complete joke. A charlatan. Don't give him a penny, avoid at all costs.
