Yesterday, my shoulder gave up completely. I'm scheduling shoulder surgery for my left shoulder (labrum tear). Devin and Marvin have received enough training from me and my preferred instructors to care for my clients. I will let everyone know once I have a surgery date and if the recovery time is 6 weeks or 6 months. Upon request, I'll be in the room with the exception of the first 2 weeks post-op. I should definitely be back by October.
If you're confused on who to book with:
Marvin Pelz has amazingly comforting hands and has had additional training in SMRT Head, Neck, Arm, Hand, Hips, Low Back, and Abdomen. He is excellent with Shoulders and Sciatica as well! He's an excellent choice for overall maintenance massages. Marvin's style is excellent for my hypermobile community!
Devin Fremin is your go-to for Medical Massage and RAPID/Advanced RAPID spot work. If something hurts and that's all you need addressed, he's your therapist (now that I'm down for a while/until I'm back)! He specializes in: shoulders, knees, Drop Foot, sports injuries, back pain, knee pain, Migraines, Bunions, Plantar Fasciitis/Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, non-pulsatile Tinnitus, Trauma/Concussion, ANS/Vagus Nerve and so on!
Until my surgery date, I'll be in office handling the scheduling. I can be in the room upon request for all scheduled maintenance appointments if you have any concerns. I can be in in an Instructor's capacity until I recover.
First time appointments: I can sit in for the assessments if that makes you feel more comfortable. I trust these guys will help you more than you can imagine.
If you have any issues with this, let me know. I can be reached by text and email.
I am going to focus on putting together more instructional material for Massage Therapy students while I recover.
Have a better day than mine!
