Had a wonderful experience with Mr. Schiff, he was very responsive to the needs I had and was communicative about what I needed to do and things I could do to prevent having the same issues again, will definitely be returning.

Ted gave me an amazing massage experience, and yes, my first visit was through a Groupon coupon. He used many different modalities in the massage. My primary problem was a sore, frozen back from hoisting a wriggly granddaughter and the start of the stoop one can get with aging. At times the work was intense, but Ted always responded to whatever feedback I gave. I was somewhat sore the next day (not surprising, after all the work he did). Two days later, I feel as if I am walking upright for the first time in years, and my sore back is gone. I feel amazing. I will be back, and I will be sending my partner as well. Great work, which felt fully attuned to whatever specific tensions my body was holding.

This Rah Dogg review is rediculous. I am the client that was booked at the same time as Rah Dogg. Ted has been my massage therapist for a long time. Apparently Rah was accidentally booked at the same time as me. I was at Ted’s office with my elder mother and Ted offerrrd to see Rah Dogg after working with me. Mr. Dogg came back after my session and refused to work with Ted. Mistakes happen, and Ted tried to make good on the mishap. I don’t see how Rah can rate Ted’s work, because he never stayed for his appointment. If I knew the man was so upset, I would have forfeited my appointment, and allowed him to go before me. Sometimes people just can’t be pleased. I’m sorry he didn’t get to actually work with Ted Schiff.
