Finally some relief!!

“I’ve suffered with neck/back chronic pain from sports and work injuries for years. I’ve had physio and chiropractic treatments. Scar tissue and disc degeneration adds to the issues. HOWEVER I’m finding some relief since I started seeing Barbara P. at Essential Body Message Therapy. Her technique is working for me. She is skilled and experienced. Takes a personal interest and desires to help. She is up to date with treatment options. Scenar therapy has helped. Try it you won’t be disappointed.”

The best thing I do for myself

“I have been going to Jane Theriault for around 20 years now for different injuries and joint problems. Massage has helped me more than anything else I have tried. It helps to train my muscles not to go into spasm when I injure myself. Most times I can walk it out now. If not one or two massage sessions will have me back in fine form again. I am very thankful to Jane for her dedication to helping me to lead a more healthy life and lifestyle. She is the best and I highly recommend her.”

Fixed my shoulder… and my life!

“What a relief! Barb Penney’s massage really helps. My torn shoulder was still hurting and keeping me awake months after the accident. Other muscles had tensed up because of this. I felt so much better after my first massage… I could sleep. I was more flexible. I continue regular massage therapy as it really helps me feel fit and flexible. Barb is professional and friendly. Her good suggestions are a great help too. Her colleague Jane Theriault also gives excellent massage therapy. “

“Barbara Penney is undoubtedly one of the best massage therapists ever. I have received massages from a multitude of people and she is second to none; I also like her energy, her depth and sense of humour.”

Best massage I have ever had.

“I have been to many massage therapists over the years and this massage was one of the best I have ever had. “

Evaluation of my massage treatment with Barb Penney

“I have been a patient of Barb’s for more than ten years. While walking to Barb’s work area she evaluates my posture and walk giving her an idea of what area she will concentrate on during the visit. She also asks how I feel and if I have any sore spots on my body. Barb’s treatment method is firm yet gentle. When she finds a stressed muscle she gently works the area to release the tension. Since my first visit Barb has been very caring and professional.”
