After each 90-minute session, I feel WONDERFUL. I have been seeing Alex each month starting month 3 of my pregnancy. Each time I see him I feel like he is pressing the  reset button on my body, particularly my lower back where so much of the pressure and stress builds. He has a special touch  he knows exactly where to focus even if I don't point out my problem areas. He hones right in on them applying the right amount of pressure (not too soft, which I can't stand, but not too hard, either). He clearly has a lot of experience with pre-natal. Also, he's got a great pre-natal pregnancy massage table, which many pre-natal masseurs do not have. The belly and bosom sections can come out of the table to accommodate the pregnant body. Finally, he sets a great, relaxing atmosphere and makes it easy to give feedback during the massage by checking in at least once. I can't overstate Alex and his massage services. He's affordable, he travels to the client, he's got the appropriate pre-natal table and best of all he's really really good with his hands!</div><br /> <div class="sectionText"><b>Posted November 2011 on <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/hands-for-bodywork-brooklyn">www.yelp.com</a></b></div><hr style="color:#449A56;" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td align="center"> <br /> <div class="sectionHeader">Great Massage Service!</div><br /> <div class="sectionSubHeader">By Nick U.</div><br /> <div class="sectionText">I recently received my first massage from Alex, and it was wonderful.

I have had several professional massages at spas before and they do not compare to the Alex's.</div><br /> <div class="sectionText"><b>Posted March 2010 on <a href="http://www.insiderpages.com/b/15250047775">www.insiderpages.com</a></b></div><hr style="color:#449A56;" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td align="center"> <br /> <div class="sectionHeader">Great Massage!</div><br /> <div class="sectionSubHeader">By Annabel K.</div><br /> <div class="sectionText">Great massage!

His depth of knowledge and expertise allow him to get right to the source of the problem and his thorough, effective techniques help to ease pain and relieve deep seated tension and knots. After I had the massage with Alex I could feel the difference straight away as my lower back feels more mobile, my shoulders are much more freer and I feel very light and refreshed. I thoroughly recommend Alex to anyone you will not be disappointed!!</div><br /> <div class="sectionText"><b>Posted January 2010 on <a href="http://www.insiderpages.com/b/15250047775">www.insiderpages.com</a></b></div><hr style="color:#449A56;" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td align="center"> <br /> <div class="sectionHeader">Hands For Bodywork</div><br /> <div class="sectionSubHeader">By Jessica K.</div><br /> <div class="sectionText">Alex is a wonderful massage therapist. He listens well, is very professional and pays attention to the areas where you most need TLC. I have used many massage therapists and would highly recommend him. While I am using him for prenatal massage at the moment, I would definitely use him in the future as well.</div><br /> <div class="sectionText"><b>Posted September 2009 on <a href="http://www.insiderpages.com/b/15250047775">www.insiderpages.com</a></b></div><hr style="color:#449A56;" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td align="center"> <br /> <div class="sectionHeader">Gifted Hands</div><br /> <div class="sectionSubHeader">By Lisa E.</div><br /> <div class="sectionText">I purchased a 90 min massage...best money ever spent! The massage was FANTASTIC! It was not Swedish...it was not deep tissue. It was 1/2 and 1/2. I was in contact with Alex prior to my massage. I have a slipped disk and I threw my back out. He was wonderful (via e-mail) prior to my massage. Alex told me things to do...he actually cared and hadn't even met me! His prices? Without a doubt, his prices cannot be beat! (Contact him and let him tell you...you will be floored!) Would I recommend Alex? I already have. Right after he left my apt, I went online and booked him for a 2 hour massage, e-mailed my friends that were waiting to find out if he was good (I laugh at good...he was FANTASTIC!!!) I have been in pain for 3 weeks (slipped disk), For the first time in 3 weeks I do not feel pain. I know, I will feel pain tomorrow and Sunday (Alex already told me) but for now, I am in heaven. (Alex also told me that by Monday I will feel great!) There is nothing more I can write other than...If you hire Alex, you have hired gifted hands. BTW, I have had MANY massages in my life...NEVER has a masseuse been so caring and so "instructional". Let me explain... After my massage Alex told me what I should do and what he wanted me to do (hot shower, bath or heating pad.) Alex really cares. If he didn't, he wouldn't be as good as he is nor would he be coming back to my home! I am thrilled!!! It's like I found gold! </div><br /> <div class="sectionText"><b>Posted July 2009 on <a href="http://www.insiderpages.com/b/15250047775">www.insiderpages.com</a></b></div><hr style="color:#449A56;" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td align="center"> <br /> <div class="sectionHeader">Hands For Bodywork is a great, professional massage</div><br /> <div class="sectionSubHeader">By Alexander L.</div><br /> <div class="sectionText">Alex is a consummate massage therapy professional. I have been his personal client now for over 3 years, and thanks to him have experienced great health improvements and muscle tension relief. You can tell he really cares about the mental and physical state of his clients, and works tirelessly throughout the session to ensure maximum satisfaction for the client. Alex, is not only an extremely skilled massage therapist but is also consistent, punctual, and honest- all qualities I admire in a person. I have even purchased his services as gift sessions for my mother and cousin- they both loved it. I would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking relief from pain, muscle tension, and or just to experience some luxurious relaxation. If you would like to speak to me, ask Alex for my number so you can hear my praises for him, personally.</div><br /> <div class="sectionText"><b>Posted July 2009 on <a href="http://www.insiderpages.com/b/15250047775">www.insiderpages.com</a></b></div> </td> </tr> <tr><td colspan="2"><hr style="color:#449A56;" /></td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-3784679956066852"; google_ad_slot = "8877748055"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </td> </tr> <tr><td width="226" height="45"> </td><td class="footer"> Copyright &copy; 2007 Hands For Bodywork <br /><font class="footerLink"><a href='http://www.abmp.com/'>Member ABMP</a></font> </td></tr> </table> </body> </html>
