I am so appreciative of Erik's work yesterday. After lifting heavy furniture and a physical job my…read moreneck was full on angry. Muscle tension was setting off migraines/dizziness and between migraines I had a constant throbbing in my right temple and jaw from referred pain. My right shoulder blade ached and my upper back was tender to the touch. Exercise/heat was giving me temporary relief but the pain would return as soon as I stopped. Erik got me in last minute on a Saturday and used his expertise to work magic. I felt my head and jaw pain melt away. My shoulder tension released and the spots that were initially exquisitely tender to the touch became less sensitive. You can feel that Erik has a skilled touch, firm pressure that works its way along the path of the muscle giving it time to release. This is not just someone dropping an elbow into your back to cause pain. When I woke up this morning for the first time in a week not in pain I thought "Erik is my hero...I must write a review".

My husband and I have been getting massages from Erik for several years now, and I can say without…read morereservation that he is the best the is. I've been to a lot of spas, a lot of fancy hotels, and I've never had body work that makes me feel as healthy as I do after a session with Erik. He is a great communicator and listener--he starts every session not on the table, but sitting in chairs, asking questions about how your body is feeling so that he can understand what needs attention, and how to design the session. I love the fact that it's never the same experience twice--he really does construct a unique session each and every time. His is not a "spa" location--so if you're looking for a sauna and steam room, or an expensive line of lotions and potions, this is not the place for you. But if you want a massage that inevitably leaves you feeling a couple of inches taller at the end, then run don't walk to Erik's table.

I was referred to Ammon by my personal trainer. It took about a month, but I finally made an…read moreappointment, and I'm so glad I did! The studio is right in Arlington Center in a historical building (a former Inn), so it's walking distance from my house. Before my massage in Ammon requested that I fill out an online form. Based on my responses, he emailed me just to make sure his preferred massage oil would be OK for me. I really appreciate that level of attention to detail. We discovered that we know some of the same people, and have both been in the music and art scene in Boston for decades. Ammon is a great conversationalist, he is a creative polymath, and his style of massage works well for me. He relieved some of my shoulder pain (I'll need a few more sessions probably). I walked into the massage room with hip pain and walked home without it. That says something. I highly recommend making an appointment!

Back in Aug 2020 when I was 60 yrs old, while sitting at my desk, I bent over to pick up a…read morepaperclip off the floor and I felt my back pop. I thought that I just pulled a muscle. I went immediately to my chiropractor down the street to see if he could fix it. I ended up getting an MRI on my back. I had herniated the disc and had a couple of bulged discs. I went to a back surgeon that wanted to operate on my back, with no guarantees that it would be fixed. I knew I didn't want surgery or cortisone shots. I've heard too many bad things about them. I told my chiropractor what was going on and he thought that maybe he could help me, but it would take a very long time. In the meantime, Marty Turner owner of the Sacred Tree Massage and Reiki in Newburyport, who I had briefly met through some mutual friends, heard what happened and reached out to me. I knew nothing about massage therapy but was willing to try. Between my chiropractor and Marty Turner, I was pretty much back to normal in 6 months. I own a horse farm, so I'm very active mucking stalls, carrying 5-gallon jugs of water and moving 40 lbs. of hay daily. In the fall I'm raking up about 30 yrds of leaves. I also love to hike and ride in the side x side ATVs. I'm now 65 and still doing all of these things and more. I do go regularly once a month for a 1/2 hr massage to loosen up the muscles. I tried in the beginning to stop going monthly, but found out quickly that I needed to go. If Marty was able to fix my back with the help of the chiropractor, then I suggest that people give him a chance. He is very kind, honest, professional and makes you feel at ease. He will listen intently as to what's going on and will do his best to resolve the issues. Keep in mind, things don't always get fixed with just one visit. It could take several for the muscles to relax and release.
