Tamer Gurmen Massage Therapy

Went to Tamer with both shoulders suffering from injuries. After 3 sessions, I was able to move arms over both shoulders without any considerable pain. A few more sessions and off to the gym to get back into good shape. Highly recommended

Tamer is one of the best there is in massage therapy! He’s a pro.

Tamer = giant YUCK! Don’t loose your money here!
I went in for Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) for a condition I’ve had 10 years. Had heard really great things about the technique. When I called to schedule, I told him specifically that’s what I wanted to try. He said, «sure!» then told me about it and about how long I would be sore. I was so hopeful and excited!
First session he assessed me as «not disabled, just stuck». Again I was so optimistic!
I should have noticed then that a massage therapist giving prognosis opinions about a 10 year permanent medical disability is ‘off’. But I trusted him, so I paid for many sessions and continued with him. After a few sessions, I start to wonder…
He was giving me homework contrary to my injury, which was causing me pain. Hm…
He was ‘measuring’ my progress by having me do things, which are totally unrelated and/​or contra-​indicated for my injury… and I was having more pain.
He was sending me emails wanting information about my injury — which showed me clearly he didn’t know shit since he had to ask — and yet I was paying him for his trained expertise?
I start to question his training and called the A.R.T training place. He’s not in their database — he isn’t certified in it!!!
Yet he took my money to give this treatment. WTF?!
I confront him and request a refund — I still even have unpaid sessions on his books but, of course, NEVER WANT TO DEAL WITH THE CROOK AGAIN much less have a creep like that touch me. He REFUSES to give me any money back. He goes on to say that although he’s not certified, he’s «doing the same thing». What a crock of shit! If you’re untrained, you aren’t in a position to know and you have no right to take people’s money for it — — period!
He further states that massage therapists don’t need this certification and that it’s only for chiro’s. More bullshit from this fake. I had just spoken with the place that does the certification and they gave me a clear understanding, told me how what he was doing was wrong, and gave me a list of certified massage therapists. He’s just talking out of his ass — not a clue — and yet I gave him my money!
Now I’m screwed. I have wasted hundreds not getting the treatment I requested and yet, since I am untrained and don’t know, I never would have known to stop the whole situation sooner. Someone who pulls this is unethical.
Since he is independent, the consumer has no recourse.
I have been told a few options I may have: small claims, reporting him, the BBB etc. In process with taking action but bottom line, had I never given him a dime, I wouldn’t be standing here screwed over.
The lowest score you can Unilocal is 1 star. If there was a negative score possible on Unilocal he’d have it.
Please DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!

Tamer can make you feel better in 3 minutes flat. He can zero in on the problem (usually something you didn’t even know was wrong) and turn you into a pretzel. You’ll feel lose and amazing in a matter of minutes due to his expert technique. I am always feel confident with Tamer because of his expertise in sports massage and the way my muscles work together. If you’re an athlete trying to reach your potential, make sure you call this guy for an appointment!

I’d give more stars if it were possible! The only bad thing I can say here is that I wish I had met Tamer sooner. My job in the military is very physically demanding. I’ve seen numerous number of massage therapists, physical therapist, ortho surgeons over the last decade. None of them offered the amount of mobility I’ve had with Tamer. He truly understands the requirements of athletes. I love that he takes to time to educate me on why these issue occur so I can prevent & treat them for the future before they become debilitating. He’s improved my performance as a tactical athlete. Thanks for getting me back in the game! Can’t wait till our next session!
