Move Like Dragon

I was referred to Marshall by my massage therapist Amber S (who used to be with Body Balance in midtown) mainly because my muscle pain had reached the limits to what was treatable with trigger point massage. I was apprehensive at first because I’m not a fan of needles. But it got so bad that I was willing to try anything.
Marshall was able to address the issues with my legs as well as diagnose and treat tightness in my back and neck that I wasn’t aware of. His treatments over a period of months dramatically improved my range of motion and overall mobility.
What makes Marshall great is that it’s clear from his explanations and from talking to him that he’s made it his life’s work to understand anatomy and how acupuncture can be used to address functional issues.
Couple of things to keep in mind. This isn’t magic. Acupuncture works on muscles really well. It’s not gonna cure cancer or regrow your liver. Also be ready for the weird electrical feeling when Marshall agitates the needle. This is what gets your muscles to release the tension. There’s no electrodes but at the same time he will agitate the needle. If you’re not ready for that do yourself and Marshall a favor and stay home.
I cannot recommend him enough.

I was referred to Marshall via my BF after having a pretty bad accident with one of my horses and badly breaking my leg — ever since — my entire body was in pain due to the muscles shortening and tightening throughout my back and legs and I was in a lot of discomfort — I tried trigger point massage — it just didn’t cut it because I had simply built up too many knots in my back and legs. So I finally agreed to acupuncture — something I was a little apprehensive about.
Firstly the practice is simple but nicely furnished, it’s clean and comfortable — and easy to reach. It’s easy to make an appointment by contacting Marshall’s assistant via text or phone.
I was happy with how Marshall explained things to me — he was also very communicative during my session which made me feel at ease, and he constantly checked on me to see how I was feeling and to monitor what seemed to be working for me.
I never thought I would say this — but after my first session I feel a massive difference. My muscles feel significantly looser and have certainly lengthened. It’s pretty amazing to feel so much more comfortable, and all through a therapy that wasn’t painful but was effective.
I should add that before I bit the bullet and went to the practice, based on my boyfriends results, I referred a friend of mine who plays professional basketball. He was suffering really badly from Sciatica and was unlikely to be able to renew his contract based on the injury and how badly it was restricting him — he went to Marshall and is now back to playing basketball and extremely happy with his results.
So overall — I am overjoyed to have found someone who can help me after such a serious injury to get back into a more normal place physically and mentally.
Thanks so much Marshall!
