Ron is a powerful Healer, Master of the Body. It's not just a massage, it's
healing on all levels.-- Mila
I was gifted my first session with Ron and as a birthday present from friends. It
was the best gift they could have given me. Not only did I receive the best
massage I have been given, but I felt Ron understood that I was there not only
for a great massage, but as self care for myself, and made the experience second
to none. For starters, the ambiance was peaceful. I felt immediately calm when
in his presence. Followed by a massage that made me feel like Ron had figured
out my daily routine and what muscles I work too hard and which ones not
enough. It was a massage tailored to me without me having to say what I
needed. What else could you ask for? It made my brain and body happy. Fast
forward to today where I felt like I could lift stronger and run faster. Ron is a
master in body manipulation in all the right ways.I will be back! — Liz R.
Ron is magical..., he is extremely knowledgeable and talented, i didn’t want my
massage to end. His techniques are unique and helpful. He incorporated
stretches to give me better range of motion. He found, and worked on areas of
my body that i didn’t even know needed it. I will definitely book with Ron
again -happy (smiley face) — Anonymous

SPECTACULAR! A true full body massage with a recognition of where I held
stress in my body & was tense. Ron is a gifted masseuse who has a unique

his client(s). I highly recommend Ron's Curative Hands massage. If you are in

Selfishly, I want to keep Ron and his incredible abilities to myself but that
wouldn’t be to fair to the world!I met Ron years ago while he was working at
another massage therapy place and I had the foresight to ask for his card. He
left, establishing his own business and I will never lose his number.Ron is
extremely intuitive, knowing exactly the areas I need extra attention and works
with such patience to relax my muscles. He also understands the body and
helps me increase my range of motion in a gentle, yet effective manner, leaving
me feeling relaxed and aligned. His gentle tone and firm touch lulls me into a
relaxing state, which is much needed. The end of my massage sessions leaves
me feeling as if I have spent hours relaxing and reconnecting with my mind,
body, and soul. — Alena M.
I’m not a stranger to massage, but this was my first 90 minute. Beautiful setting
for the massage. I trusted and was at ease with Ron immediately. He was very
respectful and explained things well. He explained our body is 360 degrees and
I love that he had me lie on my sides, during the massage. I’ve never done that
in a massage before. I was sore in a few areas from a previous workout and he
handled those areas wonderfully. I felt so much better! He was very thorough
with the massage and I was beyond relaxed at the end. I found the pressure of
the massage perfect. I definitely will come back and I live about 90 minutes
away. Definitely worth the drive! — Shelley
I have been to Ron for both one-on-one personal training and massages. His
positive attitude and passion for wellness is evident and contagious. Best
massage you will ever receive!! Ron is truly incredibly at what he does. He
listens to your exact needs and goes above and beyond on spots that are extra
painful. I saw him while I was pregnant and postpartum. He was great help
during my aches and pains of pregnancy and healing postpartum. Truly
wonderful person and cares about his clients!! Thank you for everything, Ron!
— Catherine B
I found Ron just browsing Google and needed short notice massage for terrible
back pain. He was super responsive and scheduled me same day in the
afternoon. Amazing! He runs promotions once in a while via text that are
definitely worth it! Not only is this the best experience (I can’t say it’s just a
massage..it’s so much more) but he ends up being way more affordable than
other spas if you go more than once. I’m hooked.-first visit- I did the 120
minutes therapeutic massage. Let me tell you, he worked the hell out of my
body! Stretches and massaging on all sides. I didn’t even know I had hip pain
until I somehow felt better the next day. Ron knows what he’s doing and can
feel any little thing in your body that needs extra attention.- second visit- I did
150 minutes and this time I just really needed to relax and distress. I was tense,
tired, stressed and my face hurt due to sinus pressure and migraine. I just
texted him that i basically wanted to be “comatose “ by the end. Ron curated an
experience that was just perfect. Totally different from the first time . I
appreciate that he really listens to what you need and every time you go it’ll be
a one of a kind experience. — Mirela A
Ron is professional, drove 40 miles to get his magic massage. Highly
recommend. Olzhas S
By far the best massage I’ve ever had. Ron knew exactly what type of pressure
my body needed to release the tension. He made sure to communicate with me
as needed also. He was professional and took his time to make sure my
experience was the best ever. I will definitely be going back to him in the future!
— Lisa A
Great attention to detail. He asked loads of questions and tailored the session to
my needs. I’ve had 9 surgeries and massage has been part of my recovery for all
of them. I’ve been to several providers over the years, and this was the best first
session I’ve ever had. Normally it takes a little time to establish your problem
issues and the right techniques and pressures. Ron seemed like I had been
visiting him for years. He asks loads of questions to properly asses and fix your
issues. If you’re looking to get some problem areas addressed instead of just
zoning out and relaxing, this is the guy for you. — Anonymous‘
I have enjoyed all the massage sessions from Ron. He always starts the session
by asking how I feel and if any part of my body hurts… then applies the
massage to effectively help me relax. I am a runner… his massage consistently
helps me run extra miles or speedy recovery from long distance running. In
addition, he provides beautiful music and essential oil to make the whole
experience very enjoyable. Highly recommend everyone to try! — Qing.. ‘
I am an ex pro baseball player (pitcher) with chronic shoulder and lower back
pain. One of the best things that happened to me this year was working with
Ron. Ron has been a key reason in the betterment of my muscular health. He is
totally capable, prepared and professional. My experience with his massage
treatments has been fantastic and he has my utmost respect that I’m in great
hands. I highly recommend Ron if you’re in need of a great therapeutic massage
that focuses on long term health improvements. Thank you Ron. — Beto…’‘
Ron is a great massage therapist. He is very attuned to the body and knew
exactly the areas that needed to be focused on. I appreciate his dedication to
knowing what your goals are and working hard to get you relief. Also, i like
how he explains his different techniques and his purpose behind it. I’ve
recommended Ron to many friends in the past and continue to do so. — Gina

Ron is a true healer. With a touch, he is able to tell which areas of the body are
particularly stressed and why. He goes above and beyond to make it a truly
valuable experience.” — Michelle...’,‘
Ron gave me a great whole body massage, concentrating on my shoulders and
upper back, which tend to be quite tight from all the computer work I do. He
also guided me through a series of stretches to loosen up my hip joints and
lower back, since I have episodes of sciatica pain now and then. Ron has a
cheerful, open personality with a good sense of humor. — Anonymous …’‘
What I really appreciated in Ron was that he really listened to what I was
saying, regarding my needs. — Anonymous …’‘
Ron was amazing at finding that spot that was the source of my discomfort. He
was very attentive regarding pressures, careful draping made me comfortable
and relax. He worked with PNF stretch on me, and afterward, I felt wonderful
and could breathe more easily since my chest wasn’t so tight. Thank you! —

I had a 90 minute massage yesterday after giving 29 hours of massage myself
for the week. I will definitely be going back to get more self care from Ron. He
has great hands and I felt amazing after his massage. Thanks again! — Heather

Perfect adjustment of pressure & just knowing what was needed — Cheryl
I really appreciated how Ron not only gave a great massage, but was giving me
tips and stretching advice to do at home to assist with my pain. — Anonymous
Ron listened to my concerns, problem areas and then did a great job finding the
source of the pain, working through the issue and educating me on steps I can
take on my own to alleviate the pain.— Gini
I am currently in the recovery stage of hip surgery and Ron was able to
customize our session to my limited needs. His understanding of the human
body and his excellent technique allowed me to leave with greater range of
motion and comfort, after our session. — Anonymous
Ron was recommended to me by %%%% because Ron specializes in stretching
and self care. During and after the massage Ron gave many pointers and ways
to continue to stretch at home. Ron is an excellent massage therapist. If you
want someone to assist you in bringing self care methods home Ron is the
person. — Cheryl
Perfect pressure. Amazing massage — Lindsay Ron was great! I had the best
massage ever, I will definitely see him again. — Laura
Ron's education and skill show through his work. He gave great pressure in
areas needed and he was knowledgeable enough to know without me telling
him to be gentler in others. He communicated well and listened to everything I
asked for in my intake. I am highly impressed and cant wait for my next session
with him! — Jessica
Ron can read a body very well. I appreciated that he listened to my concerns
and focused on those pain areas. I also really liked that he approached each
muscle from 4 different angles - it really helped address the pain I was
experiencing. Pressure throughout the massage was perfect.— A.V.
Ron was great! He is def an expert in stretching. I came in with back pain and
carpel tunnel pain and afterwards I could immediately feel my body feeling
better. I would recommend Ron 100% — Anonymous
I had the best massage of my life here with Ron! I will definitely be a returning
customer. My body felt great and I was very relaxed after my massage with
Ron. Great job! — Laura
Ron has taken the massage experience to a whole new level! His study of each
and every muscle and the precise and direct intervention to the pin trigger
points have been incredible. Highly recommended if you are looking for a real
Massage Therapy...I now understand why they call it “Clinic”! Keep up with
the good job!. — Luca
Ron has extremely powerful hands that provide him an ability to find tense
spots others can't using their elbows or other means. Great experience and will
definitely be back with Ron when he's available. — Tom
This was the by far the best massage I have ever had! When you ask for deep
tissue, you are going to get it! I would definitely recommend Ron to anyone.—
Chuck
My legs and back feel amazing after you worked on me!!! 10/10 will definitely
see again!! — Sean
Ron was great! He is def an expert in stretching. I came in with back pain and
carpel tunnel pain and afterwards I could immediately feel my body feeling
better. I would recommend Ron 100% — Anonymous
I am stressed and have aching muscles. I asked Ron to find all the knots and go
deep! Was I sorry! It was painful but in good pain pressure. Communicated
well. He gently eases his pressure to my tolerance level. I thought Ramon was
painful but Ron is equally strong, skillful, and masters at their own rights! He
was able to address my whole body in 90 mins session! Thank you, Ron! BTW,
they can be gentle as well if you request them for more relaxation. My
suggestion, request REALLY deep pressure (at your tolerance level) and request
the last 5-10 minutes with lighter pressure for a relaxing massage. Kudos to
%%%%! — Anonymous
Ron is professional, drove 40 miles to get his magic massage. Highly
recommend. Olzhas S
Helped me understand why I have tension in my bodies and took time to teach
me techniques I can do in my own to relieve pain is stress on my muscles. —
Anabel
I had a great massage from Ron. He is very knowledgeable about human
anatomy and has great massage skills. I especially liked his joint mobilization
and stretching techniques. And if you like deep tissue massage, Ron is the
person to see as he can apply some SERIOUS deep pressure. — Roberto
Ron was very skilled, professional and caring. Truly made it a great relaxing
experience. I would certainly recommend him to friends and family. —

Ron is incredible. Unlike many of the 'massages' I've gotten at other places (e.g.
airports and spas) Ron really got deep and addressed the root cause of my
issues. He is happy to explain what he is addressing and was able to get to
places that I never even knew existed. I'd been working in front of a computer
for 16 hours a day for the past year and he has helped so much in alleviating
back pain, I feel like my work is going to improve and my posture is much
better. Also he's a great guy and got me completely comfortable. The location is
also taking great COVID precautions so I had no worries there as well. Signed

Ron was great!! This was my 4th full body massage in my life & Ron was the
only one who really helped me relax! Very professional, friendly & took the
time to explain the cause of my pain & how I can help myself relieve it at home.
He made me feel very comfortable & I left very relaxed! Thank you again Ron! I
Will be back soon! — Lidia
Ron was professional and provided a safe environment. He talked through my
issues with me and listened well. He provided feedback and advice and was
understanding. — Carina
Appreciated the knowledge and professionalism. He gave me some good
exercises to do afterwards, which is helpful to help me continue to get better. —
Kristin
Really knowledgeable, gives a great massage, and incorporated some stretches
that I really appreciated. — Sonja
Ron was awesome! Ron knew what he was doing and would answer questions I
had during the massage. When he got to some more tense spots, he would ask
if I was okay from the heavy breathing and noises I was making, which I
appreciated. Ron has magic hands and was able to really dig deep into the
muscle when needed and knew to go lighter on other body parts. He even
showed me a few neck stretches to do at the very end. I would definitely choose
Ron again when I go for another. — Alex
This was my second time going and it is worth every second. I went for a 90
minute massage to relax my body from constant heavy lifting and to loosen up
tightness I knew I had. I think this experience was even better than the first
time. I will definitely come back and have already told friends and family to get
a massage here too. — Anonymous
I had my first session there with Ron. He was very talented at his job. I left
feeling distressed and completely relaxed. He was able to tackle knots that had
been long time residents in my muscles. I will be definitely going back again
and again. Thanks Ron you are a amazing massage therapist!!! — Kristy
I made an appointment here with Ron because I was having some lower back
discomfort and tension in my shoulders. If you work from home, or remotely,
you will know the pain I’m talking about. To start off, the owner of the clinic
&&& was extremely helpful in getting the appointment set up. I was so lucky
to be able to have an appointment within a day or two of contacting them. I can
see why this place is rated so highly because they are professionals all the way.
Very peaceful office, great communication, and the best massage that I have
ever had. Ron told me everything he was doing, the different muscle groups,
and when to alert him if he wasn't applying enough pressure, or if it felt like too
much. He was kinda funny, too :) I will definitely be back for more! So glad I
found this place! Don’t wait! Schedule an appointment asap! — Lisa
Athletes needs good massage to recover, period. Ron made me realize the
benefit and the necessity. He navigates the body in the anatomical way.
Generally and persistently. He is a personal trainer, takes the ownership and
go beyond. Sometimes, he extends the time as he feels need it without charging.
I am very grateful. like the heated bed, heated oil, scent, light and the total
privacy. His attention to details makes his private studio exceed the big names.
Ron used to work for a clinic. His own studio price is very reasonable. And all
the good perks included, such as essential oil, while other places charge extra. I
thank my friend who referred me here. Ron’s magic hands is top notch! -- Xiang
I got a 60min therapeutic massage. Best massage ive ever had! Ron was
amazing and knew exactly what i needed and was very informative. I loved
that the first thing he asked when i got there was where does it hurt and whats
going on. He was very responsive and replied to my messages quickly and fit
me in last minute cause i was in so much pain. Loved the studio, it was so
relaxing. I will definitely be coming back for a 90min massage next time!--

Thanks for the massage. Great place and excellent specialist! I recommend for
anyone.-- Mykhailo M
It will be not enough to say "Best massage I ever had" because what he is doing
- gives magical results! I'm Ukrainian and what is happening in my country
keeps me all time stressed. I definitely see the difference in how my week goes
if I had a massage or if I didn't have one. Even 1 massage in a week plays huge
difference! I had a chance to compare. Weeks are different, health is different, I
react to stress differently, I feel my body in a different way! I'll say this:"if
you really appreciate your body that is doing so many things for you just to
exist and live life -> you have to do sometimes a deep tissue massage. I
recommend once a week. Your whole body is working for you every single
second. Answer yourself what you do for your body in answer?I had an
answer for myself - >I give bad food, hate some parts of my body, sit a lot at
work, if I start work out - I do this quickly to loose weight (which is stressful
way for body) etc... A lot to add. In the end I understood that I care about my
outfits more then I care about my body, but my body is an outfit for my soul.
The smallest thing I can do in this material life to show love and appreciation is
going to this massage therapist.He has strong hands - which is perfect for deep
tissue. He is feeling what you need more, personal approach, from toes to your
head and face. It helps me to reduce stress, feel my body, show appreciation,
keep PEACE and LOVE inside myself even when there is war in my country,
problems in relationship and work with no days off. I was loosing myself in
stress, crying and hating - it was before I started going to massage once a
week.Now it's different. Just look into my eyes, do you feel peace or hate? Eyes
never lie. Before they were empty with lost reason to live. Best massage
therapist ever! I recommend Щиро дякую.-- Anhelina B.
Ron, it is the best massage therapist, he is amazing in finding your aches and
pains. Leaving you with ease and relax. If you are looking for the best, you
found it. Pio
I learned about Ron from friend. It became interesting for me to try his service.
After 3 months and several sessions, I can say with confidence that this is the
best investment in myself. Ron is not only a master of his craft, but also a bright
person with good energy. I really like the massage room, nice atmosphere and
very clean. I highly recommend!-- Ekaterina S
One of the best massages I’ve had. Ron is attentive and intuitive. The facility is
really clean and comfortable. Highly recommend him. If I could give him more
than five stars, I would. Money well spent. I’m due for another appointment! --
