Report
I had back/shoulder and wrist aches for several years and tried several different therapies. They helped but my pains always came back after a bit and had to go back weekly in order to keep the pains under control. I was then referred by a colleague to Sergey. He examined, analyzed, diagnosed and ultimately fixed the problems, not just put a bandaid on.. Sergey anatomy knowledge is impressive, seems like he has X-ray vision. After few treatments my posture has improved, my movements are restore and my pains are gone. If you are looking for relaxing or deep tissue massage then you might look for

I was first referred to Sergey by my son who is a highly active athlete in various sports, especially in MMA. Myself, I work as a bodyguard and close protection operator, and over the years have sustained so many injures its crazy. And as I get older, the option to just ignore those injuries and keep going is no longer feasible. That said, after one of my recent training sessions I got injured again (not a new one, but an old one that flared up big time), to where my son didn't just 'suggest' I go to Sergey, but pushed for it relentlessly until I gave in. Here's what I can say about Sergey... If

Sergey is a wizard. Last year, after injuring my lower back in the gym, and months of pain and anguish, I decided to book a session with Sergey. After a single session with Sergey, he had nearly elminated my lower back strain to almost nothing which went down to zero over the next week. I do warn you however, NO PAIN, NO GAIN. I would recommend Sergey 100%

Sergey is amazing. As a former collegiate athlete and current weekend warrior I suffer regular aches/pains/injuries and over the years have tried nearly every therapeutic methodology; no one has come close to Sergey and his ability to quickly assess and correct my physical issues. His knowledge and application of his various disciplines are incredible and I highly recommend him!

I was introduced to Sergey through a friend of mine that had great results from his treatments with Sergey. I have a hip impingement condition in my left hip that causes pain and difficulty waking and i'm on a list for hip replacement surgery in 2021. Sergey has worked with me over the past 2 months and has reduced my pain and increased my range of motion dramatically in my hip and leg. I have had may treatments of all kinds to help me with this condition, Segey has by far helped me the most. Sergey was very matter of fact about what he thought he could do for me and came through with amazing results

Sergey is very professional and provides excellent NKT massages. He has relieved me of my back pain when other methods didn't help. I referred my husband who has also been relieved of his aches and pain. We would highly recommend his service.

I have been suffering chronic debilitating pain for a few years, relying on opiods that didn't work, and thinking about ending my life as sleep slowly slipped away and the pain increased to unmanageable levels and Doctors ran out of tests and ideas. My first session with Sergey, he released my hip pain. For the first-time in almost 2 years I was able to lay in bed without doubling a percocet dose and crying through the pain. After session 2, 3 days later, my 4 years of back pain were almost gone. I have session 3 shortly as we work on my migraines. In less than a week, in two sessions, he took
