Resolve Medical and Sports Massage

Brian has been so amazing to work with. He is extremely talented, knowledgeable, inquisitive, and honest. I have been working with him for the past few months as I have chronic headaches, and he has tried many different techniques and modalities on me. He is curious, asks questions and does research to see what has helped others. Brian goes above and beyond in his work and I would highly recommend him.

Brian is exceptionally talented in helping clients suffering with chronic pain.

The massage itself is otherworldly good and very effective. Because he knows exactly what to target, you just feel all of those horrible knots melting away. And because Brian checks in with you about your progress before every appointment, no two massages are alike. He is constantly adjusting and experimenting with his approach to ensure your needs are always met. At the end of each massage, I am often in such a state of bliss and relaxation that I c
