Kevin Flanigan, LMBT

I’ve been to Kevin for massage therapy at least half a dozen times now and he really is fantastic. He can do everything from a light, relaxing Swedish massage to a deep trigger-​point release and everything in between, or combine them for a session that’s relaxing, energizing, and therapeutic! He’s really good at finding the knots and working them out. He can also identify some of your problem areas and suggest stretches you can do at home to make those muscles feel and work better (but isn’t preachy or pushy about it). He’s friendly, pleasant, and doesn’t try to chitchat with you during your massage like some therapists I’ve been to. (Maybe he will if you want to; I like to be quiet during massages, so he doesn’t talk to me except to occasionally ask how the pressure is.)
Kevin works out of a chiropractic/​wellness office and the facility is relaxing, comfortable, super-​clean, and cozy. It’s a little tricky to find the first time, but it’s convenient to many parts of Durham and there’s plenty of parking right in front of the door. His table is comfortable and the lotion he uses is very nice – not greasy or overly fragrant like I’ve had at some massage therapists in the past, where you hate to put your clothes back on at the end because you wonder if you’ll ever get the oil out of them.
I really feel like you get a better-​than-​spa quality massage for MUCH lower-​than-​spa prices with Kevin. I highly recommend him.

I thought Kevin Flanigan was such a good masseuse the first time I went to see him that I thought it was worth making a business listing for him on Unilocal!so that other people could learn about him! He is an absolutely fantastic massage therapist. I have seen 5+ massage therapists more than once over the past ten years, and Kevin is probably the best one I’ve had yet. He specializes in «trigger point» & sports massage, and you can sure tell during a session with him. He is incredibly detailed and attuned to your body’s needs, and, like he said, is especially keen on «fixing» your problems. Not to mention at $ 45/​hr., you can’t beat the rate!
