Body Basics Sports & Med Mssg

I cant say enough good things about Body Basics. Nathaniel helped me with shoulder problems. My other option was surgery. Thankfully, Nathaniel had the patience to work with me and understand the problem. He went above and beyond during my initial visits to understand the problem in order to increase my range of motion and decrease the pain. His knowledge of the mechanics of the shoulder and treatment options helped me regain the use of my arms. He answered many, many questions patiently. I cant thank him enough for his patience and time.

Ok, I've been to quite a few other massage businesses around Raleigh. They always say that they do deep tissue massage but it always turns out to be work that is too light to be of any use or it is just a therapist pressing really hard on muscles that already hurt. I got a little relief from that stuff but nothing worth going back for. Recently, I checked out Body Basics because of a friend's recommendation. Man, I was impressed. The guy there really knew a lot and explained all of my questions. Even better,the massage work was right on. No one has come close to doing that level of work for me. I felt so much better. The main reason that I am writing this review is because it has been three weeks since my last session and I still feel great. Awesome.

I went to Nathaniel after injuring my lower back landscaping. For about three weeks I self medicated myself with a steady intake of Advil and Aleve. I could dull the pain during the day but around 5am every morning I would wake up with back spasms. These spasms caused my back to be extremely tense and knotted. I eventually made an appointment. I have now gone twice and my back pain is remarkably less. I sleep through the night and I can feel the injury is actually healing. I wish I had gone earlier. I would recommend Body Basics to anyone.

I was referred to Nathaniel at Body Basics by my doctor to help my back pain. I have had fairly chronic back pain for over a year since a work injury. I have tried painkillers, muscle relaxers, and even physical therapy with no real change. I was a little skeptical that massage could help since my only experience with it was when my wife dragged me to a spa a ways back. The massage there was kind of relaxing but so light that it did nothing for my back pain. However, since my doctor assured me that Nathaniel could help, I set up an appointment. I was surprised and impressed by both his professionalism and knowledge. He explained what muscles were causing me problem and answered all of my questions. At the end of the session I stood up and was amazed by the improvement. My back felt more relaxed and mobile than it had in a long time. I could barely even feel any pain when I moved around. Nathaniel showed me some stretches that have been very helpful in keeping my back limber. I have seen him 2 more times and my back keeps feeling better and better. I just cant say enough about the value of this service!

I have had several massages in my life, but none with a male therapist. I thought that I would be uncomfortable, but Nathaniel was very professional and put me at ease right away! I have a great deal of neck and back pain from my profession. Nathaniel knew just how to relieve each separate tense muscle. It was not only relaxing, but very therapeutic. I haven't had neck or back pain in weeks! He is very thorough and in the end makes sure you feel better. He even showed me stretches that I could do to help my tight areas. Nathaniel is obviously very committed to his work. I am so pleased, and I have referred many people to experience his gift of healing.
