REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Thompson on Feb 21
Normally after back to back leg day and pull day with heavy deadlifts I need 3-4 days to recover. After a session with Derek I had nearly zero DOMS, no cramps or stiffness.

I had a wonderful and relaxing experience, I would definitely recommend Relax Renew to a friend. Derek does a great job and I always feel better after my massage.

Derek is amazing! He was able to work on my problem areas and found some that I wasn't even aware of. My body and mind felt so much better after our session. I immediately booked again! Book with him, I promise you won't regret it!!

Derek is very interested in making certain to use the massage time to target areas that you want to focus on, so he listens intently to your concerns before he begins.
