Medical Massage

After the auto accident that injured my knee, low back and neck (and totaled my car!) – I knew how important it was to quickly attend to my soft tissue: enter Matteo! He is an amazing body worker – beyond competent, kind and compassionate, and very intuitive. He consistently learns new modalities and techniques – bringing this new information to the massage table as needed and when the body calls for it. As a nutritionist and former professional dancer, I am no stranger to bodywork. I had seen Matteo twice before my accident – and was immediately impressed – he was able to read my body and with grace + ease, move into those more congested areas that were greatly in need of release. For a full year, post-auto accident twice a week, Matteo took amazing care of my body, encouraging the damaged tissue to heal, reduce pain + inflammation, and quite frankly, changing my body in ways I had never seen before, allowing me to move more freely and easily. I highly recommend Matteo and encourage you to see him for a profoundly healing, rehabilitating and life-changing massage.

I’ve been receiving weekly massage from Matteo for about a year now. While I’m sure he’ll supply it however you want, I told him right away that “I didn’t need a Burke-Williams Spa type of massage,” but rather “something more … vigorous.” He said, “Oh, you mean like a Russian Medical sports massage!” and I said, without really knowing what I was getting myself into, “Yeahhh, something like that!” So it's what we’ve been doing. In my case it complements Pilates, and is more like a kind of adjunct to physical therapy, with a focus on stretching muscles, bone alignment, improving posture, etc., all complemented with a strong dose of electronic dance music. Matteo has deep knowledge about muscle and bone anatomy, exercise, good diet, and other topics, and I always benefit from his knowledge and wisdom. It’s one of the parts of the week that I look forward to the most, and I heartily endorse Matteo for his mad body improvement/physicality/massage skills.
