REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by John on Jan 15
Very skilled, and a great conversation.

Lawrence’s many years of experience and his deep knowledge of body mechanics are evident in his approach. People suffering from chronic pain or dealing with postural issues would find him very helpful.

Lawrence listens to concerns and adjusts the massage accordingly.

I struggled with neck pain and limited ability to move my neck and head for nearly two years. With no relief from two years of on and off physical therapy, I reached out to Lawrence. He was quick to respond. After one session the difference was noticeable and the relief welcomed. After four sessions, I barely notice the effects of the arthritis in my neck. I will continue to see Lawrence for maintenance. I highly recommend Lawrence.

I felt cared for and nurtured. I had a lot of tension in my neck, shoulders and back that he effectively addressed. I feel like a new person. Lawrence is a fantastic body worker.

I have gone to many different massage therapists over the years. Lawrence is absolutely the best.

Lawrence really listened to understand the issue I've been experiencing and was able to release some of the tightness with the SI area. He was intentional about checking in to ensure the pressure was effective but not painful. Grateful!

Lawrence is results-oriented. He uses his knowledge of the body and his experience to troubleshoot issues causing pain or tightness. He's a master at what he does. I recommend him to everyone.
