I came to him dealing with chronic and constant back pain, mostly from recent weight lifting and what I later learned was some misalignment in my hips. I had tried sports massages, heating/icing, foam rolling, stretching and nothing seemed to help my lower back pain. I was honestly just hoping for a little relief--but what I got was so much more. Dan is not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in his work, but he also brings such a grounded, genuine presence that made me feel immediately at ease. He took the time to really listen and understand what was going on with my body, and his approach was both intuitive and precise. After just one session, I've already noticed a real difference in how I move and feel--something I didn't think was possible after struggling with this pain for so long. Dan was also extremely flexible around my schedule and worked to get me in last minute, which showed not only his passion for what he does, but his commitment to helping others. And I have to mention Stella, his sweet dog, who was the cherry on top of an already healing and comforting experience. She brings such a warm, calming energy to the space. If you're dealing with pain or just want truly therapeutic bodywork from someone who really knows what they're doing and cares deeply about it, I can't recommend Dan enough!

Dan is in Bend Oregon and I have been a client of Dan for 9 months. For the past 10 years I have…read morebeen experiencing chronic back, neck, elbow, & hip pain. I went to see Dan after a point when I was experiencing constant pain which prevented me from sleeping at night. Dan started me on a 6 week plan of weekly two hours sessions. After 6 weeks I no longer had the pain that previously prevented me from my sporting activities and sleeping. I now see Dan every two weeks as a regular. A side benefit is I am no longer straining or pulling muscles during strenuous activity. Thanks Dan, you are the best. Bill R.

I heard about Corey and Tact Massage from Lonna, who is a chiropractor in the same building…read more Booking a session was very easy and I really appreciated the fact that I didn't need to put down my credit card to guarantee the booking: it gave me a first clue of what kind of person Corey is. I didn't really have any health complaints, but I like getting massages: it is one hour where I can just let my thoughts drift and have someone else take care of me. Like many people, I associate massage with relaxation and spa-like surrounding. The stereo-typical massage therapist is dressed in some white clothes and oozes sensuality and well-being. Corey and his practice is different; different in good way though. When I arrived for my appointment, I was greeted by a what I associated with a typical San Franciscan, dressed in a plaid shirt and a big commuter rucksack; he probably had just biked to his practice. He then told me a little bit about what I'd be expecting over the next hour, before I got ready for the actual massage. I then expected him to start "massaging" my body, but instead I witnessed how his hands applied light pressure on my back. While doing so, he commented on areas that he thought were a bit tight and/or needed some attention. After that, I pretty much let him do "his thing". I had complete trust in him...in fact, I apparently fell asleep at various times during the session. (Corey said something along the lines of: "I noticed that when I'd just relieved the tension on various sections of your body, I noticed you started to snore lightly...") After the session, Corey walked me through what he'd done and he pointed to various muscles on the anatomy chart on the wall next to the massage table. I can only agree with all the other Yelpers, especially Kevin N, who says: "Corey is an intellectual who combines his academic knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology with his natural gift of tactile memory." I also liked that Corey didn't do the guilt trip on me that I associate with some other massage therapists. Something like: "Oh, your body is really tense and I think we should see each other on a regular basis. In other words: your body is a total mess and I can help you fix it." Corey simply said that it would probably be good for me to come back for another session and work on some other areas, but that in general I'm in pretty good shape. I liked every bit of my visit: but mostly the fact that Corey is just a cool dude who knows his shit and makes me feel good!

I was referred to Corey by a friend. I was expressing unhappiness with my other massage experiences…read morebecause I'm a bodybuilder, and the therapists never seem to be able to do much beyond a superficial rub-down. Even when I expressed specific areas that needed attention, I'd always end up with the same full-body massage. It just wasn't helping with my sports issues. I've been so happy with Corey. He understands what my body needs as an athlete and really digs into the problem areas to release those parts. My experiences with him are always magic and I'm shocked at my increased flexibility in the days after a session with him. I'd definitely recommend him for site-specific issues you may have, or if you've just not been getting the kind of relief you'd like from other massage experiences. He listens to what you need and seeks out triggers that will help your whole body relax.

Elijah. This guy. I…read morewas was in a motorcycle accident and shortly after got surgery to remove an ovarian cyst. I was afraid of touch and developed a very low pain tolerance but desperately needed a massage. Elijah understood where I was coming from. He was considerate with every stroke. His massage reintroduced touch, pressure and "good pain" to my muscles and now I can enjoy deep tissue again. I got a deep tissue massage today and his pressure is hypnotically relaxing. I stepped out of my head for a minute there. I feel like he turns my muscles into melting butter if that makes sense. He covers the whole body which leaves me walking away feeling like every muscle got attention. My joints felt compacted when I walked in now I feel limber. I can't express how awesome his massages are. The guy gots skills man.
