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

I got myself a massage at Curative hands for my birthday & it was 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 combination of skills and experience. Ron listens and has the utmost
respect for his client(s). I highly recommend Ron's Curative Hands massage. If you are in the

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

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! — Kaori…
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 T..
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.—

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% —

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

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. — Anonymous
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 up for a subscription! — William
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!-- Rebecca C
Thanks for the massage. Great place and excellent specialist! I recommend for anyone.-- Mykhailo

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! --Sandra
