Bodywork by Roger

Roger is a savant! I came to him with low back issues and our first session were doing a quick Q & A about what I do, what hurts, etc. after ten minutes he tells me that one shoulder is higher than the other, one hip is forward, and other stuff and that’s why my back hurts, they’re all tied together. Anyway, he’s helped tremendously and he’s also educated me about my body and how to keep it working properly. Five stars, no sir, you deserve ten!

I finally decided to get a massage. I had one in Napa about 20 years ago, and it was ok, but nothing exciting… Roger was recommended by Nicole a Zumba instructor and when she said he helped her with a problem that was tough I was sold. I really need help with some shoulders, neck, arm, back etc… and I’m a little apprehensive about what kind of pressure I could take (turns out I was good at 1 ½, which was tough for me. but I’m going to try a higher pressure next time and see if I can take it). When I walked in, it was very welcoming, the décor is beautiful… from the waiting room to the restroom to the massage rooms, I really enjoyed it. Roger was very good at making me comfortable in every way. I only wish I had booked a 90 minutes session instead of 60! I left feeling better, however I went know that I need more treatments for my arms and shoulders, and will continue to work on the issue with Rogers help. I wish I could go 2 times a week! Not only does he know the human body in amazing detail, and works on the issues you have explaining what he’s doing, he also gives you a great massage! From the warm bed to the lighting and music. it was perfect! I can’t wait to go again… maybe I’ll go for more pressure :)
If you want a great massage for any issues, or just to relax… go see Roger!!!

I went to see Roger again after weeks of my back being in a lot of pain. I left with a so much relief. I work out quite a bit. Roger will let me know which exercises are serving me and what isn’t. He has been right every time. He also showed me some stretches that will help alleviate future problems. I thought I knew all of the possible stretches, but he showed me some new ones. I value that he shows me what is causing the problem as well as providing a relaxing massage.

Why the heck did I wait so long to make an appointment? This therapeutic massage with Roger was hands-​down the best massage ever!
Working with Roger was a great experience. He is intuitive, friendly, polite and incredibly professional.
I left feeling refreshed and ready to face the rest of the afternoon.
Make an appointment now — you will not be disappointed!

Roger’s therapeutic massage is absolutely the best. He was recommended to us by my husband’s trainer. Roger is so strong that he can work on the beefiest athletes, but he is also so careful and communicative that he can work miracles on a soggy noodle like me. He has a brilliant intuition and knowledge of the body – he identified some issues I had just by looking at my stance from a distance. Roger is also just the kindest, gentlest giant you could imagine. His space is serene and beautiful, and he doesn’t charge enough – he should raise his rates because one session with him is as effective as 3 «regular» massages, IMHO!

Can’t say enough good things about a massage by Roger… not sure how he does what so many CMT’s can’t… he has the ability to find and fix most problems without even having to tell him where the issues are. With that said, he always ask where any problem spots are beforehand, and is incredibly professional and polite.
Same thing with pressure… he knows when to turn it up/​down. I am 6’3″ and my SO is 5’2″ and the massage is always the perfect balance for both of us. Thanks Roger!

I have been having massages from Roger for about a year now, after a recommendation from a couple of friends. Roger is just awesome. He knows just by looking at how you are standing, what needs to be worked on, and proceeds to do just that, in his very professional manner. He is always smiling and cheery, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for The Best Masseuse ever!

I met Roger 3 years ago, when after unsuccessful attempt at finding a good massage therapist, I decided to try again, one last time. After the first visit he made me a true believer, and ever since then Roger never disappointed me. He is a true healer. Other massage therapists know how to mask the pain, but Roger digs deep and works on the issues that cause the real problem. When I come to his office, he always helps me leave relaxed.
Roger is the real deal. He is attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend Roger to anyone who seeks quality bodywork.

There are moments in your life, when you find someone who just gets you. Roger has this incredible ability to find exactly where your pain is coming from, and even if you go in there thinking you’re hurting from one place, he knows exactly what is causing it and fixes everything. Not only does Roger have an incredible ability to heal your body, but the time spent with him heals your mind as well. I recommend Roger to everyone I know, because a massage from him is one of the most therapeutic experiences you’ll ever have.

If you are looking for someone to cure your aches and pains. Go to Roger. He is absolutely amazing. He knows all of his muscle structures and he knows how it should feel normally and if they don’t he fixes it. I have been to Physical Therapy and I have not got as much as results as when I have been to him. He is worth alot more than what he charges. I have had a lot of massage therapists and sport massage therapists. But He is the BEST. While you are getting the massage you will feel pain because he gets to the bottom of issues and fixes it but once you are out of there you will definitely feel better. Absolutely AMAZING! Thank you Roger…

Roger has amazing hands! I started seeing him at my chiropractor’s office. I have to say that after an hour with him I was looser and felt much better than 2 months with the chiro! I have continued to see him for muscle spasms in my back and shoulders as well as all over tightness. He immediately finds just «the spot» and really gets in there to release the tension.
READER NOTE: this is not a «spa-​type» massage of someone lightly rubbing and sweeping hands across you. Roger does «therapeutic-​type» massage. If you really want to work out your kinks and walk out feeling much better, then Roger’s your man.
Besides great hands, Roger has a heart of gold. He’s very concerned about his clients, friendly, warm, but always professional. If you are a woman, no worries about seeing a male therapist. Your well being is always his number 1 priority.

I have had many different massage therapists over the years due to persistent osteoarthritis and surgeries, and I knew right away that Roger knew what he was doing. We worked together for a few months — there was a great deal of scar adhesion and muscle lockdown, but after several sessions I was able to get off the cane and am now walking almost normally again. I still see Roger when I can because I still have problem areas after not having a normal gait for many years, and he is still doing wonders for me. My surgeon was amazed when I saw him in December and said I was walking the best he had seen me do since the surgery, so keep doing whatever I was doing. When I told him it was massage therapy and chiropractic, he got a funny look on his face and said, uh, ok, keep doing that — it’s too bad the regular medical establishment doesn’t accept the therapeutic benefits of real massage therapy, the kind that Roger offers. I’m doing my best to change their minds! Thanks to Roger I can walk around the block again and that is no small thing after being housebound for so long!

I went to see Roger at RPM after reading so many great reviews about him (he also happens to work at my awesome chiropractor’s office). I’ve had plenty of massages by many different therapists, but this was — by far — the most helpful massage I had ever gotten.
I train for footraces, which makes me prone to pain and tightness all over my body. Roger has a phenomenal understanding of how the musculoskeletal system works — especially what causes stress and pain, and how they can be relieved. The deep tissue massages I’ve gotten in the past generally consisted of pressing repeatedly on problem spots, but Roger actually finds the precise part of the body that is causing the issue. This is much more efficient, since pain and discomfort is often a result of a chain reaction of multiple things that are going on.
I got a 90 minute massage from Roger, and it was definitely worth the time and money. He spent the first 5 minutes or so asking questions about my lifestyle and how I exercise; he also inspected my posture to make any obvious observations about what could be contributing to my pain. I asked him many questions during the massage («what are you doing?» «why does that hurt?»), and he didn’t seem to mind at all; this was great because I was learning a lot about what was going on in my body (and Roger is iike an encyclopedia). Even though Roger’s massages are very precise and efficient, he’s also extremely sensitive and gentle. He was able to relax my muscles whenever they tensed up, and was able to work out my knots with minimal discomfort.
I would recommend Roger to anyone, particularly those who are involved in sports and physical activity. He is super friendly and VERY talented at his work. I can’t wait to go see him again!

Roger has helped me multiple times with lower back and nerve pain. His techniques surpass any other massage therapist I have seen. I highly recommend Roger for all your massage therapy and rehabilitation needs..

I’ve already written one 5-​star review for Roger at RPM-​Therapy, but he deserves another anywhere he goes. I’m a former massage therapist with 2000+ hours of training and several years with my own private practice. I don’t like receiving bodywork that isn’t at least on par with the best of my instructors from school…
That said, Roger satisfies all of my criteria for excellence. He is a friendly, welcoming, relaxed person, and a pleasure to work with as a therapist. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Roger is the best massage therapist that I have been to. You do not need to tell Roger where your back hurts… after a few strokes he will tell you where your sore spots are and he will also tell you why, and what you need to change in your posture or driving position and he has been right on 100% of the time. I work at the computer all day long and go to see Roger regularly when my neck stops moving from all the tension. usually a couple of sessions help drastically. Roger has also helped me train for the half marathon relaxing my sore leg muscles. I would recommend Roger to anyone whether looking for a deep tissue therapy or need to relax and let your body take a break from the everyday stresses.
