Aleece K "I've been a member of another massage therapy company for over a year and am never quite sure who or what I'm going to get. Alvino Massage provided a deep-tissue massage tailored to my specific needs as a volleyball player as well as superior service, helping reach the spots I knew were sore as well as the ones I didn't. I've never felt better and will be ending my agreement with that other place.
Madeline B "I have been the recipient and purchaser of many massages, and I can whole hearted recommend Dan. While I have enjoyed many of his massage techniques and their benefits, my favorite is the stretching massage. I carry my stress where most office employees do...neck and shoulders from the keyboard and phone, lower back from all the sitting, knees and hips from high heels. Dan suggested the stretching techniques, in combinations with Swedish and Deep Tissue massage work, to really work out the tight muscle groups. I find the benefits of his massages to be relaxed trouble areas, sitting straighter, even feeling taller. With the stretching after the massage work, I have also found the benefits from Dan's massages last longer than other massages I have received."
Andrew B "As an athlete I've had back problems, shoulder problems, and a surgically repaired ankle. Every time I've had an issue I've gone to Dan. He caters our sessions to target my problem areas, often alleviating secondary symptoms that I was ignoring. More importantly than making me feel better, Dan tells me what might be causing my pain and how best to take of myself in the future. After my ankle surgery, Dan asked me what my doctor recommended and offered his own insights to optimize my rehabilitation. Today, I'm back to my sports and feeling 100%, thanks in large part to Dan. As an athlete I highly recommend Alvino Massage. "
Nathan D "I went to see Dan when my TMJD starting acting up and causing headaches. Dan worked on my jaw and neck areas and after the first week it started to feel better, after a couple more weeks it got to where the headaches disappeared completely. Dan also showed me some simple massages that I could do myself to control the pain. Dan was very good at listening to what I had to say and explaining what he was doing. I learned a lot about the disorder and how to manage the pain associated with it. I would highly recommend Dan for anyone who is suffering through TMJD."
Lara C "Dan has been a priceless addition to my education. I am currently obtaining my Doctorate in Physical Therapy, a profession involved with treating disorders, diseases, and injuries related to movement and the musculoskeletal system. The ultimate goal of physical therapy is to enable each individual to obtain a better quality of life; and we do so through the use of exercise, education, modalities, and even massage. Dan has introduced me to many various forms of therapeutic massage, he has demonstrated the techniques, and he has displayed his knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. Not only has Dan helped me in my own techniques of soft tissue mobilization, but we have developed a partnership among professions. Without a doubt I will refer my patients to Dan when they are in need of therapeutic massage." Lara C, Student - Doctor of Physical Therapy Program
Chantal L I was lucky enough to be in the same class as Dan when I was doing the Thai massage school in Chiang Mai. It meant giving massages AND receiving.
Dan was my favourite partner as he always threw in a few extra (non Thai massage) techniques in as a bonus. He has the most gentle hands and always seems to apply the exact amount of pressure where and when needed.
