Essential Touch Therapeutic

I went in there with high hopes after reading his professional website about pain/nerve relief and good reviews. unfortunately it was by far the worst massage I've ever had in my life. I explained to him I was experiencing neck pain for a couple weeks now. I paid for an hour massage, and he spent no more then 5 minutes on my neck. I was flabbergasted when he used a hand held vibrating massager on my whole body which I find that to be very lazy.

I can use one of those at home by myself, I don't need to pay someone so use that on me. Overall the massage itself was very pour as well. My feet where never even massaged, and the pressure was weak. I paid someone to rub essential oil on my skin as gross as it sounds.

Ray is a very skilled and caring massage therapist. His knowledge of the body translates into significant improvement in flexibility and pain relief from the very first appointment.

I have diabetic neuropathy, arthritis, and lower back pain! After my 1st visit my lower back pain subsided dramatically. He explains everything clearly and has good energy throughout the entire massage. I highly recommend Ray for any, tension, pain etc.

Ray is Amazing! This is not an ordinary massage. It's more like a body re- calibration along with massage. Ray has a special gift to target & bring healing to your joints & muscles with his techniques. It's way different then a standard massage & I would highly recommend! I've experienced many massage therapists over the years & his specialty is definitely one of a kind. Thanks again Ray!

I had an alright experience with Ray, but I wouldn't return to him in particular. I told him I have horrible lower back pain, and told him to focus primarily on my back. Ray went through some sort of holistic full body treatment. He explained how it's all medically connected, and he insisted on a full body routine since it was my first time there with him. I also found Ray to be a little odd/coarse. He told me to lower my voice quite a few times, which I found to be off-putting.

Ray was very kind, communicative, and respectful. He made me feel comfortable and explained what I needed to know about areas that could be causing pain and how to improve them. A great experience for relaxation and pain management from a kind professional who is very knowledgeable.

After 1-1/2 years of chiropractor visit and still living in pain and no flexibility in my back, 5 visits and I'm able to enjoy life with full motion with no pain. Thank you to all of the employees. They will make your experience pleasant.

Ray is AMAZING! He spent time ensuring he knew what I needed and wanted from my massage. He was also up front and honest about things I should be doing for my health. Ray gave great suggestions for things for me and the massage was better tha ANY i have gotten at a spa. Thanks Ray, I will be back!

Ray did an amazing job! Very good communication, professional, great quality and I felt amazing after I left. I recommend going to him to get back into alignment. This is not just any massage! Will be going back for sure.

I had a Massage with Ray a few years ago after a bad car accident, I could barely turn my neck to the right or to the left and had many tight muscles in my upper shoulder area. I had received many pain injections that did not help much. Ray massaged the appropriate areas and then gave me exercises to help the tightness stay away. I was experiencing severe migraines quite often, with the exercises Ray gave me the migraines have now gone away.

I recently injured my right knee and could barely straighten or bend my leg this made walking very difficult due to extreme pain and tightness. Ray began a massage on my right leg and after one massage it felt amazingly better the next day, I could walk much better. I then received another massage for the same condition from Ray the next day and it was amazing, I could straighten my leg and bend it easily.

The pain in my leg went from a 9 to a 2 in only two sessions. I highly recommend Ray for any pain you may be experiencing! He really loves to help you and is very respectful and considerate. Thank you!

Yesterday I was in dire need to find someone to help ease extreme neck pain and was lucky enough to come across The Essential Touch. I was able to get in the same day and Ray was beyond incredible. He was professional, and explained what he was doing in a way that I would understand. I workout 5-6 times a week and was unfortunately used to being sore constantly. Ray worked on my neck and I am able to move it and will now continue to return! I would HIGHLY recommend his service to anyone living in pain, I'm so happy to have found him.

I was first introduced to Ray as a prospective customer. I started seeing Ray as a massage therapist soon after and it's been almost three years now that I have been a weekly client. Ray is amazing! He has the skill to understand how to fix all sorts of aches and pains and to make sure my muscles are tuned correctly! I recommend Ray to anyone who has back, neck, hamstring and/or tennis elbow issues as he has been able to successfully address each of these problems for me over the last couple of years. Seeing Ray has giving me a lot more pain free days!

Ray is the man. He's very thorough and I walked away feeling like I had the best person help deal with my incredibly tight muscles and my piriformis issues. Ray took the time to educate me on what he was doing and what was important. He takes care to be sure you are comfortable - a consummate professional. This was a fantastic experience. I'll be back, and that means driving all the way across GR from Allendale, but way worth it.

Ray is an unassuming, gentle appearing gentleman whom blew me away with his ability. I've had many massages over the years and Ray is by far the best. His technique is unlike anything I've experienced prior and what he does correct, stays. He resolved some muscle pain and back strain and to this day, I am in great shape. Ray provided services to me in September and the results are still being enjoyed now in November. Thank you Ray for your wonderful skill and providing me the relief.
