Myoscrip

I’d been in an auto accident and had shoulder and neck injuries. My hands didn’t want to cooperate with my brain. Making a simple cup of coffee was an epic feat. I started going to two places that really made all the difference in a hurry. One was Hawaii Healing Works, Andrew Jacobs is the most patient and understanding masseuse in the world. He knew exactly where to press to alleviate pain and to get things going. He understood completely when I tried to explain how the coffee cup was inches from my finger tips but yet it was miles away and I could not grasp it. Same with the sugar and the creamer. By the next visit, all that was all history. My pain started to ease away a little at a time. Before long, I was back to almost better than new. I’ve learned hints on how to make things to help ease pain, like the rice filled sock to microwave for warmth. Neat!
I hope to continue visiting to get massages every once in a while, as they have seemingly reasonable packages, just to get an occasional «aah» when deserved.

Medical massage therapists know that facilitating the healing process is often one part science and two parts art. Even longtime experts will tell you that one can never know enough about the craft.
MyoScrip owner/​massage therapist Mat understands this very well. Of all the massage therapists I’ve known, and there are many, he works the hardest to broaden and deepen his knowledge base continuously. As a result, his approach is highly skilled yet laid back. He is happy to share information with you about your body if you like, or he will maintain a quiet, soothing atmosphere in which you can relax – it’s all about you.
MyoScrip provides medical massage. This means that the emphasis is on therapeutic massage for injury rehabilitation and pain management. A variety of modalities are used, including deep tissue, trigger point, myofascial release, and Swedish massage. Insurance and workers compensation accepted. Business hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 — 6:30, Saturday 8:00 — 3:00.

Highly recommend this business. I have had 4 or 5 massages so far with Matthew Pardini for a work comp injury to my arms. I assumed that I would go in there and he would just rub on my arms like an hour-​long version of my wife giving me a back massage. Wrong.
Over the course of my treatment Matthew has demonstrated a level of anatomical knowledge that far surpasses that of any of the other professionals I seen for this injury (viz. M.D.s, Occupational Therapists, & Acupuncturist). In addition to his solid knowledge of the body and how its parts work in relation to one another Matthew uses his technical expertise to implement a sort of masseuse’s toolbox of approaches which he can vary or combine to achieve the desired result. Rather than just rubbing where it hurts and hoping this provides relief Matthew will develop a plan of action, try one thing, test its results, and keep on trying like that until he figures out what is the source of the problem and how best to treat it.
The environment at Hawaii Healing Works is very calm, clean, and professional. You can book appointments online, which I like. Matthew and his team provide excellent customer service as well – after my treatment was approved, for example, he called me to schedule the first appointment. In the health field it is rare and unexpected to encounter such proactive and patient-​oriented gestures.

I was EXTREMELY pleased with my experience at Hawaii Healing Works. I purchased a voucher for a 60 minute massage through Living Social (I’m a sucker for a great deal on a massage) and booked an appointment with Dinah. I am new to the area, so I had a little trouble navigating my way to the office, which delayed my arrival by a few minutes. Thankfully when I walked in, I was relieved that the staff was very accommodating, and despite my tardiness, not once was I forced or prompted to rush.
I spend most of my time hunched over a laptop, so my neck, shoulders and lower back were in desperate need of some help. Dinah did a fantastic job of kneading and stretching my tight, sore muscles with just the right amount of pressure. By the time the appointment was over, I felt a significant improvement in the way my body felt. I can say with full confidence that this was one of the best massages I’ve had in quite some time. I would definitely recommend Hawaii Healing Works to anyone that is in need of massage therapy, and I can guarantee that I will be returning to their office in the very near future.

I have had a few massages in the past but they were mostly for relaxation not work. I saw Matthew the other day for a serious back injury and he was very helpful with explaining what might be wrong and how it affects the whole body. He is very knowledgeable about the body, muscles and overall health. After just one session I could feel my body shifting and wanting to get better. To me this is not a frufru massage place, this is a place to realign your body, release the stresses of life, and regain control.
If you are looking for a place that is professional and knowledgeable THIS IS IT!
I have not worked with the rest of Matt’s staff but if they work for/​with him I’m sure they are just as good. Also it is very easy to get too and they validate parking.

I contacted Hawaii Healing works and spoke with Matt about what I believed was my first migraine headache. For two days and nights the pain in my head and neck was so great that I couldn’t eat, sleep or even see clearly. I would continuously get vertigo and just couldn’t tolerate the pain any longer.
Even in my fog, the office was remarkably easy to locate, directly off of the freeway with both a private lot and parking structure which is free because the office will validate your parking.
When I walked into the office, Matt had very considerately dimmed the lights and imediately began to discuss my symptoms with me. He informed me that I had a tension headahce, rather than a true migraine (which he also treats), what the causes were and how to treat them in the future.
Matt began my session by laying me down with a soothing heat pad tucked under my neck to relieve the tension in the muscles. Then, he methodically worked through each pressure point in my shoulders, neck and skull until the pain was vertually eliminated.
When I layed down on the table, I couldn’t use my neck muscles to hold my head up, but when Matt was finished with my treatment, I was astounded at how comfortable it was to lift my head, sit up and how quickly I had gained back my rfull ange of motion.
I am so grateful to Hawaii Healing Works for aleviating my pain and for being so considerate and efficient with my session. I would highly recommend visiting their therapeutic massage office whether you have a pain to work out, or just want to relax.
