REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

Martin is top notch. Skilled at finding points where work is needed. Positive attitude and environment and is both professional and respectful.

My experience with Iowa City Shiatsu & Massage Therapy and Mr. Martin Gibbens has been amazing. He took the time to truly listen to my concerns and tailored each session to address them. I have been struggling with worsening, frequent migraines despite adding prescription medication. Mr. Gibbens explained how the techniques he uses differ from the ones I had been receiving at another establishment — and he was spot on. While I still experience migraines, the intensity and frequency have noticeably decreased since starting sessions with him. He conducts himself with the utmost professionalism, and his business is exceptionally clean and inviting. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking quality, personalized massage therapy.

I have always have a great experience with Martin. His ease of appointment setting on line is great. I appreciate being able to get a discount when paying for 3 at a time. He's always prompt and I feel my greatest when I leave.
