Drew is a skilled technician when it comes to massage therapy. His knowledge of the human anatomy and physiology enables him to ask the right questions, diagnose the problem areas, and figure how to fix them in a short amount of time. Ive had him work on problem areas in my legs and back and felt relief almost instantly. I would recommend his services to anyone who is suffering pain from physical activity.

Drew treated me over the course of a few sessions to help with strain and stress in my neck, shoulders and back. I had gotten to the point where I couldnt turn my head without pain. After the first session I felt a huge relief in my pain level and by session two I was back to myself again. Hes professional, friendly and very sensitive to my needs and comfort levels.

Drew treated my for a long term whiplash injury. He got more results in 2 months than two years of treatment from a different sport masseuse and chiropractor and osteopath! He was extremely sensitive and always made sure I felt comfortable and has complete integrity. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I have had many sports massages from Drew and he does a fantastic job each time. I have a career in football and recently tore my hamstring, Drew lead my rehab and quickened my recovery time by weeks. I am now pain free and Drew is the reason for that and have not been injured since. I highly recommend Drew to any athlete or non athlete.

Great therapist! I have seen Drew for hip and back pain which was affecting my sleep on a number of occasions. He is very friendly and informative, and has given me home-care exercises that have helped me between appointments. My sleep has improved and I can get through my working day comfortably. Highly Recommended.

Drew is a healer. A top human and amazing at what he does. Intuitive kind and understanding he explains exactly what he is doing as he goes. I only met him by chance really, but he saved the last six months of my life during a piriformis syndrome running up to a long awaited hip replacement. We are doing a case study on my posture because the surgeon restored about 1inch back to my left leg with my new ceramic hip. I was never diagnosed then at 27,
