“I scheduled with Arnie while visiting my family in Massachusetts after experiencing significant stiffness and limited movement in my right shoulder. I was having difficulty extending my arm and even sleeping comfortably at night. I had already tried massage therapy, stretching, heat therapy, and was at the point of considering an orthopedic specialist.
I learned about Arnie from my mom, who raved about how he helped resolve her hip tightness, and my stepdad, who shares office space with him. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt I was in good hands. Arnie was calm, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely compassionate. He took the time to listen to how the pain was affecting my ability to exercise and rest, while also giving me hope that we could improve it.
What really impressed me was his expertise and ability to explain what he was doing. He identified the area of tension around my bicep tendon and explained how the surrounding tendons and muscles were contributing to the restriction in my arm. As he worked through the tension, he educated me about the anatomy and helped me understand what was happening in my body. He also incorporated Thai massage techniques, which added another dimension to the treatment. And yes—Arnie has strong hands! He knows how to apply the right amount of pressure while working through areas of tension.
He also gave me practical tips for addressing other tense areas and a list of things I could do at home. I especially appreciated that he encouraged me to continue lifting weights rather than telling me to stop doing the activities I enjoy.
I left his office not only feeling significantly better, with much more movement in my arm, but also feeling encouraged and supported. Arnie is clearly a master of his craft. If you're looking for someone who understands the human body, knows how to relieve tension and pain, has an incredible hands-on technique, and takes the time to educate and empower his clients, Arnie is your guy!”
