Rachel Hannah Deep Tissue Massage And Cranial-Sacral Therapy

I started using Rachel Hannah, LMT on the advice of a trusted colleague about 10 weeks ago as I was experiencing lower back stiffness and discomfort. It was clear from our first session that this would be different. Rachel's intensity, focus and skill were immediately apparent. My experience is that many massage therapists have a routine and execute that routine regardless of the client. Rachel possessed a "6th sense" about my needs and focused her efforts in a manner that had an extraordinary therapeutic impact. Rachel seemed to have unbounded energy and wellness and those were transmitted to me through her touch. My body is dense, and despite her size, she had the strength and determination to effectively treat my troubled lower back. I highly recommend her services.

In my humble though somewhat informed opinion, Rachel is an exceptional body worker. I have been receiving professional massage/NMT/CST/ bodywork for 35 years and I count her in my top 5. What I have experienced in just a few sessions, is that Rachel has a deep knowledge base and is both highly skilled and intuitive. She is a great listener and is clearly committed to having open communication about your needs.

This is after-all, all about you :). Rachel is kind, warm, and professional. I sustained a serious neck injury, was in constant pain, had limited strength and movement, and have been unable to work for over 6 months. Additionally, I found very little relief with various other treatments tried, both holistic/"complimentary" and medical. I felt relief immediately after my first session. Now, after just a couple of more recent visits, my pain has nearly disappeared and I am able to return to work and resume most of my regular activities (which is a lot of activity!). And, I feel like a person again.

This is no small thing. I highly recommend seeing Rachel for both acute and chronic issues as well as if you just need to treat yourself to healing touch. Sincerely, Leah, RN

Everything about the experience with Rachel was wonderful. From the moment she greeted me at the door, it was clear that she is professional, maintains safety protocols, and really listened to what I had to tell her about my body. I originally came in following an injury and have now visited her multiple times. Each time she has utilized different techniques including making suggestions of stretches I can do at home afterward. Whenever I leave, I feel better than when I came in. I highly recommend Rachel Hannah Massage; you won't be disappointed!

I consider Rachel to be the most effective performer of therapeutic massage that I have ever personally encountered. I'm always impressed with the amount of benefit I derive from sessions with her. She has a lot of power in her hands so if you're someone who needs pressure this is the place to go. As someone who has seen a significant reduction in pain and discomfort as a consequence of my sessions here, I recommend Rachel wholeheartedly.

Rachel is an amazing practitioner of massage. As an avid runner and hiker, my leg muscles routinely get sore and cramp up. Her massaging techniques and ability to delve deeply into the muscle relieves the soreness and tension, with positive results that last. It's like pressing a restart button! Her craniosacral therapy work is phenomenal and leaves me feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Rachel has been helping me out for a few years. She does an amazing job with my various aches and pains from my various golf and fitness activities. I have hip pain, which lead to back pain and she was so helpful with both areas. Recently, I had tendonitis in my elbow and she helped loosen up the shoulder and arm areas to relieve some of the pressure impacting the tendonitis.

She listens to you about your pain areas and then help to resolve them. I cannot imagine the pains that I would have without help from Rachel in relieving them. She is great!

Almost five years ago I was involved in a car accident resulting in soft tissue damage to my back. I was out of work - interior house painting- for five months. Rachel's professional expertise and knowledge about body work helped me to recover and get back to work. I continue to see her every two weeks as I believe her 'work' is most beneficial to helping me maintain my active work and social activities, at almost 70 years old.

There is much comfort in having her in place should anything crop up. It's about a relationship- both ways. Rachel's skill level in body work still continue to amaze me! I still continue to look forward to having her work on me each session. I honestly feel, and have told her, that the body work she does is cheap insurance. Rachel is professional, experienced, knowledgeable, and kind. Rachel is a 'true healer '. Don't miss OUT!

I was lucky to be referred to Rachel Hannah: The infrastructure of my lower back and hip area was a goat rodeo. After a high school and college career of competitive sports, I became a road runner, culminating in the NYC Marathon in '95. Two years later, I was a chronic limper. Eleven years later, I had both hips replaced. The discomfort before and after the replacements had caused my body to veer far from the sacred geometries of the body. Fascia and other forms of support had evolved to "help".

At the same time, however, they locked my body into the wrong positions. They had "robbed Peter to pay Paul." I have practiced yoga for 10 years. I thought that it would fix everything, but I struggled with chronic back pain after exercise. Someone recommended Rachel and I have since experienced a new, wider level of recovery. Rachel's work broke down all of the solid, incorrect, misplaced fascial and muscular supports that had evolved over time.

After each session (there have been about 10), I experienced an immediate sense of freedom in the areas she had worked on. And that is where my work has begun. Major cables that held my body in the wrong positions are gone now. I must now re-build the structures correctly. And carefully. Parts of me have been in retirement for decades and they were not too happy about being called back to work.

I have made great progress since beginning work with Rachel and feel increments of improvement every day. I could not have progressed like this without the work she has done. Rachel is experienced, knowledgeable, open-minded, and professional. Without reservation, I recommend her highly. Jack M.

Many massage therapists over the last few decades and Rachel is the best! She is professional, respectful of boundaries, and an incredible diagnostician. She is responsible for keeping me moving despite my age and the demands of my work! I recommend her highly!
