His techniques are definitely different than anywhere else and I have had massages all over the world, it is almost like voodoo magic.

I met Darryl in 2015 when he was a student and I could tell then that not only was he good at massage, but he cares a lot, which is why he is always learning and I knew he was spiritually gifted before he did.
I know you are going to read this and I want you to think about it. Darryl you need to learn that you cannot help everyone because not everyone wants to be healed.
Darryl you are an empath and you need to learn to ground yourself, because you absorb the pain of the body and souls of those you are trying to help and it hits you hard.
Thank you for being great at what you do and for helping me and many others

Darryl does so much more than a regular massage therapist. He isolates problem spots in the body, teaches you what is going on there, and then works on the problem(s) in both direct and indirect ways. As an MD student, I'm very impressed by how knowledgeable he is and how well he integrates that knowledge into his practice. He listens both to you *and your body* about which techniques help you most, when you need more vs. when to stop, and what else you may need to address or do at home for yourself. He can do the 'feel-good' things that you'd expect when you get a massage, but he can also do so much more that that so that your massage is genuinely productive and physically therapeutic. I always sleep SO well afterwards and feel a significant difference in whatever issue I came to him with (for me, it was upper back tightness + TMJ pain from stress/studying the first time I saw him & then a long time later, calve tightness/plantar fasciitis pain). He's very good at what he does and super passionate. I recommend him to everyone I know and honestly I feel like I've been spoiled & I'm SO glad I found him; I'm never going to want to go to a regular massage again, lol.

I injured my left shoulder lifting weights several months ago. I initially tried resting it and then even worked with a physical therapist. It still bothered me enough that I was nervous about working that muscle group for fear of making the injury worse. I found out that Essential Transformations does specialized sports/medical massages and thought it would be worth a try. Darryl used neural reset therapy on me during our first session and my shoulder definitely felt better after the massage. Yet it wasn't until about 48 hours later that I really noticed how much better my shoulder felt. It still hurts a little at extreme range of motion, but it's good enough where I've started lifting weights again. I highly recommend Darryl if you have some sort of sports injury.

I lost count of how many sessions I've had with Darryl, but every single time I had NRT I remember walking away like I had an overall body tune up! My muscles feel more relaxed and unstuck. Most of the time I had to get a nap right after because all of my tension had disappeared and my body feels heavy. At my job I'm standing and walking around 90% of the time, and my legs, back and feet get all the abuse. I highly recommend NRT before a massage and then at home give yourself an Epson salt/oil bath!!

I am 87 yo and I had issues of falling or just kneeling down and not being able to stand back up. After Darryl works resets my muscles I do not hurt, I can bend more, I feel stronger and I am a lot more stable which takes fear away a lot of fear of walking. In muy condition it is scary sometimes just to have to go to the bathroom.
After he does the drainage therapy I have to go to the bathroom a lot. I can actually see the swelling has gone down.
He has a good heart and really likes helping people.

Very interesting massage. Darryl is obviously super knowledgeable about his techniques and doesn't just push and rub until you're bruised. It's a lot of "tricking" your body to relax tense muscles through small exercises and motions. Super cool!
I waited about a week to review as I wanted to see how my body responded to the massage. The first night I got up to use the restroom about 8 times (which he said I would) so I slept terribly. Since then, I've slept fine. The biggest change I've noticed is the loosness in the muscles in my shoulders/neck and feet. As mentioned, I'm writing this about 1 week after my appointment and I still feel that my muscles in those areas are more relaxed and my upper body posture has improved. Overall I think it was good!

Business response:
It is great to hear you are feeling better. Clients issues vary as well as how they respond, so incorporate NRT and/or PRRT & I want to choose the best technique. Max I spend looking is less than 5 minutes and as with you I added time on to your session to compensate, because I know your time is important. I hope to see you again soon!

I called Darryl for the pain in my injured knee, he was very accommodating even though it was a Sunday afternoon, when he could have been having family time.
He gave me a full professional work out and made me feel very relaxed, explaining his way throughout the entire process. By the time he was done I felt so much better in all the areas that were taking the brunt of over compensating my walk and movements that were getting me through the day with intense pain in my knee.
On Monday I went to my Dr., who ordered x-rays to learn that I had an unidentified floating particle causing the pain. I will be under the care of an Orthopedic Dr. to get a resolution, but Darryl did such excellent work the rest of my joints and muscles feel so much better that I feel an improvement in the overall health.

Being the head of Kingston hospital in New York for 10 years, an MD for 38 years, it takes a lot of knowledge to amaze me and even more to reduce my pain with my autoimmune diseases, Ankylosing spondylitis Crohn's disease hypohysitis malignant hypertension Addison's disease Raynauds syndrome Scleroderma Lichen planus, which is what has brought me to the UI hospital because of a rare autoimmune disease.
Darryl explained the Neural Reset Therapy is done at a nerve level and to demonstrate a technique to loosen my forearm. He gave me an example on my arm and in less than 15 second he greatly reduced the pain in my forearm. Darryl integrated the NRT with Lymphatic drainage first to reduce the pain before doing Swedish, which allowed him to go deeper without the pain!!! He went from head to toe reducing my overall pain by 80%. I have been able to reduce my hydrocodone in half and I expect I'll keep reducing it which is incredible in itself.
For the first time in over 18 months of sleeping in misery 20/24 hrs, I feel the best I have felt in a very long time.
I'm more amazed every day!

I'm very grateful to him for his genuine care and skill. He refuses to allow me to walk away if my pain is not reduced. His attitude and concern is incredibly refreshing, and I will continue to visit him.

Took an appointment from me at the last minute. I was having a lot of pain in my left trap and deltoid. 3 days later, I'm still feeling much better. Darryl is very knowledgeable and you can tell that he truly cares about helping his clients. Thank you!

I had pain in my wrists/forearms and back in addition to overall tightness in my muscles before my appointment with Darryl. During the session he used multiple techniques to help loosen the muscles, all the while explaining what and why he was doing specific techniques.

Darryl was warm and friendly and described the purpose of every technique and how to do the same thing on myself. I appreciated the breadth of his knowledge and his willingness to share his expertise of the various forms of massage he used on me.

Great working with them on time and availability. It was nice to get someone to work on an 11 year girl for her aches and pains from tumbling/gymnastics. Very professional and things were explained well. Not exactly sure how it all works yet, but it worked. I'll be setting up my own time shortly.

I loved the fact that my health goals were listened to and validated during the extensive questions and conversation at the beginning of our appointment. I learned so much from Darryl and now know steps that I can take between appointments to improve my posture and overall wellbeing as extensive travel for both family and business are in my future. I look forward to continued improvements in my health and essential transformations in my life!

I was hesitant to try this type of therapy but I'm so glad I tried it out! Before I got worked on I couldn't rotate my torso, my shoulders, back or neck fully without pain. After Darryl was done I was a new person! I not only feel better & less tense but I also learned a lot about how to correct a few things in order to keep the tension away. I also found out I have very bad posture, but Darryl explained how I can do a few things to correct it which will also help keep stress & pain away! I greatly recommend seeing Darryl for pain & tension relief!

Darryl did great sports massage on my lower back that had been creating back pain for a long period of time. Would recommend his services as he really does do top notch massage services! Thank you to one who is willing to take the time to help one have less pain. Will most certainly send along referrals.

Went in expecting a 'rub' and got so much more! He did much more than expected and taught me things about my body. He also shared his knowledge and expertise by providing examples of stretches I can do to help target areas. If you're looking for a therapist to buikd a relationship with and provide preventative therapy, he is an excellent choice.

After a fall on the ice, I have been going to the chiropractor and physical therapist, but nothing has helped as much as Darryl`s massage.
