DEFTherapeutic Bodywork & Massage

I have no sports-​related injuries or medical need for massage. But still, it gives me a sense of health and relaxation. I’ve tried many different therapists over the past 10 years and am very happy to have found Dell. He has a calming spirit and treats the body holistically. I always leave feeling healed, even though I didn’t arrive feeling broken.

3 – 6 months after injuring my back, my healing had plateaued, and I was beginning to wonder /​worry if the chronic discomfort was something I’d have to live with for the rest of my life.
Massage seemed to help, so over the course of a couple months I tried half a dozen different massage therapists. All helped me to feel great directly following treatment, but with Dell, I also felt great in the days afterward. I found that seeing him every 1 – 3 weeks helped to get my healing process ‘unstuck’, which was fantastic — there’s little more demoralizing than doing all the proper self-​care and exercise and having the same persistent discomfort regardless!
On a less functional and more personal level: Dell is friendly, considerate, relaxing to be around, and has always asked me afterward if I had any questions (I’ve learned a few things!), He clearly finds his work fulfilling — I don’t think I’m off-​base referring to it as a calling of his. He teaches as well as practicing, which speaks well both of his skill and of his desire to share.
I don’t give 5 stars lightly, but when I try to think of what (within reason) I wish were different/​better… I don’t come up with anything. «As good as it gets» seems warranted.
[Note: I have seen Dell at multiple establishments; I put the review here because DEFTherapeutic is Dell’s personal practice.]
