What People Are Saying About Loosen Up Massage Therapy
Virginia is outstanding at her many skills. She is 110% focused on her clients and their problem areas during her sessions. She has shown me valuable exercises to alleviate and remedy my problematic, pain, stress areas and my holding patterns. She is constantly educating herself to better her skills and practice. I don’t know what I would have done without her help to manage my physical job and the stress that comes with it and with life in general.
Virginia is the best! I always walk away with my body feeling so much better, and she didnt let me leave without tips for stretching out those tight muscles.
Virginia is my go to for stress relief, for lower back issues, for my tight calves. I could just go on and on. I especially appreciate the insights she provides for stretches or options for my daily routine outside of my visits to Loosen up.
I’ve been consistently going to Virginia for about five year. She is great, utilizing deep tissue, Swedish and trigger point massage as needed. I go with issues in my neck, and occasionally feet and hips and it is always a benefit to get such thorough massage.
Meeting Virginia at Loosen Up Therapeutics after I moed to Ridgefield was a very lucky experience (guided by excellent reviews). She is a rare gem. She is a talented bodywork practitioner with a wealth of knowledge and experience. She also listens carefully to what you say and how your body is responding to treatment, remembers and follows up on your aches and concerns, and is continuously learning and exploring treatments that can help. She has unearthed the root cause of several long-term issues I was having and has helped me through a serious back problem (communicating andworking together with my physical therapist, she helped me avoid needing surgery.) I would trust Virginia to help with any issue or just to deliver a wonderful massage that feels good, whether you prefer gentle or firm pressure. Also, her space is private, pleasant, and impeccably clean. Her communication is excellent, too. I would give her 10 stars if I could!
Massages by Virginia are wonderful! I’ve had many. She really knows what she’s doing. She is very helpful if I have a specific issue and she has good advice on how I can help my body. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
I just had my first session with Virginia today, and I’m so happy with how everything went. Virginia is very knowledgeable, respectful, personable, and even made sure I had a place to park in their lot ahead of the session. She took interest in my areas of concern and taught me about anatomy and stretching. It was relaxing and educational all at once!Just book a session at Loosen Up- you won’t regret it.
