Healing Strength Massage Therapy

Michael is awesome! I have had recurring neck pain for years and he was able to fix it within two sessions. He does a combination of massage and stretching that has worked wonders for me.

Michael is great at what he does. He is knowledgeable and experienced. He creates a safe space and leads with authenticity and empathy. My main focus had been somatic massage. I’ve learned about areas where I have trapped trauma in my body and Michael has helped me understand how to address and release it. I have seen him twice so far and leave feeling lighter and more relaxed. I look forward to many more sessions with him.

I had a great massage with Michael at Healing Strength. He used a combination of techniques to address pain I have because of arthritis in my spine and hands. He listened to my concerns and was responsive to them. I felt a difference in my gait the next day. I would definitely recommend him.

It is truly a challenge to find a massage therapist that works with your body and that is truly invested in trying various methods to help heal. The relief that Michael has provided has been long-lasting, nearly 4 weeks later. Cannot say enough positive things about Michael and his practice, and will certainly return soon. If you need some true relief and advice, Michael is the best in the business.

Michael was great. It was my first time with a Thai massage and he took time to listen to my concerns, areas of discomfort and thoroughly explained what he was doing. It was a calming and reassuring experience, I rebooked before leaving. We will be working on healing stressed tendons in my hips. I have felt energized and relieved of some if not most pain in the days following our first appointment. His office was easy to locate in Durham NC. Many thanks.

Michael is awesome. He started the session by listening to my areas of discomfort and my exercise and health goals. Not only was the massage restorative but he accomplished it without having to work at my pain tolerance limit, which allowed for a calming experience as well. I am excited that we will be working on addressing some old injuries / scar tissue that should provide pain relief and improve strength and range of motion. I am looking forward to my second appointment in a week.

Michael listened attentively and thoughtfully described how he would address some neck, back and knee issues I was having. I felt extremely comfortable and relaxed as I received shiatsu massage. I highly recommend him for his wisdom and skillful use of shiatsu. I will be returning for another massage very soon.
