5 years ago I had the most excruciating pain in my neck and Anatoly was able to release it. Fast forward to today. After two kids and now in my 40s, my broken ass walked into his office with the biggest knot in my shoulder blade area, tension and strain in my left arm and shoulder, no range of motion without feeling pain shooting down my arm all the way to my fingertips. Even just sitting and standing still, I had so much pain. Anatoly was able to release all the pain in the first 9 minutes! He was able to do what four massages and $$$$ wasn’t able to do!

Anatoly is hands down the best sports massage therapist I’ve worked with. He is professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and I always feel better when I leave his office. He has helped me recover from plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and even painful rib injuries faster than I thought possible. If you’re dealing with chronic pain, athletic injuries, or mobility issues, Anatoly understands exactly how to target the root cause — not just the symptoms.

I have been doing the Bowen massage with Anatoly for over three months now. It’s a more subtle massage that has helped balance my hormones and improve my sleep

The good As a masters track and field athlete, I needed to get a massage before I compete this weekend. Anatoly did an amazing job not just massaging my lower back which I usually have some pain, but doing a great job combining massaging my legs paired with stretches to loosen up my tight muscles. My hamstrings, quads and calves and arms felt really after. He did a great job not making the intensity too hard so I’m sore. He made good conversation and some jokes so it’s not awkward and quiet all the time. The not so good experience Just calling this out as a new comer, getting into the building was difficult for me. Someone had to let me in, just make sure you know the door code and that it’s on the third floor. Anatoly was nice enough to give me the door code once we met and all is well now.

Anatoly is an exceptional massage therapist whose expertise goes far beyond standard practice. His profound understanding of the human body allows him to intuitively identify areas of tension and address them with precision. What sets Anatoly apart is his ability to cater each session to your specific needs, customizing his techniques to effectively alleviate pain and promote healing. His approach is both thoughtful and intentional, making every appointment a personalized and restorative experience. If you’re seeking a therapist who truly comprehends the body’s mechanics, Anatoly is unmatched in his ability to provide both relief and lasting wellness. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Anatoly has a way of making you feel 20 pounds lighter after a session. I have been in chronic pain for years and after our first session is the first time the pain was alleviated. I asked him if it’s possible to live pain free and his response is the first time I have felt as if I really could be relieved.

I visited Anatoly for a sports massage while training for a marathon, and it was exactly what I needed. I’ve been struggling with recurring lower leg pain and calf tightness, and Anatoly worked wonders by targeting specific pressure points to release the tension. The massage was firm and thorough but never uncomfortable, and to my surprise, he even helped alleviate lingering shoulder tension from an old injury. Simply amazing! I left feeling much more relaxed and ready to tackle my training. I’ll definitely be back after my marathon for another session. Thanks again, Anatoly!

Anatoly is by far the most talented massage therapist I have worked with. After weeks of lower back pain, I came out of his session as a new person with an ear-to-ear smile. Not only that, he also did a fantastic job with my 9yo daughter’s back pain in my presence. He guessed she may have tension in her shoulders and addressed this immediately. We are so grateful to have found Anatoly and can only recommend him warmly.

Anatoly is an incredible professional. He is able to fully restore your anatomy from head to toe. I have been suffering from sports related injuries for years and was told by medical professionals I needed surgery. In a matter of three sessions most of my pain is gone on my jawline, hips, chest, shoulders and back. He is insightful and uses a variety of techniques to address your issues. He is sensitive to your needs and attentive. Do yourself a favor a book a session with him. You body will thank you later.

Anatoly works magic. He will not stop working until the both of you are certain your tension is released and pain is gone. He intently listens to your needs and responds appropriately. He’s the only masseuse I’ve met capable of rendering your feeling/experiencing weightlessness.

Anatoly is truly a healer. I began seeing him due to a frozen shoulder that I could not get relief from with other various medical help. The care and passion (and humor!) he puts into his treatments is absolutely nothing short of a gift. He is intuitive, compassionate, and sets treatment plans with you on a need basis for your body - not just a way for him to make money. If you’re struggling with phantom muscle pains, play sports, or are a desk warrior in need of relief - there’s **NO ONE** else like Anatoly.

Anatoly is absolutely amazing. I always look forward to our sessions because I know I’ll come out feeling brand new. I’ve been going to him for about 6 months now and he’s worked magic on various pains from power lifting and poor posture from working a desk job. I couldn’t lift my arm past 30 degrees without a painful pinching feeling in both my shoulders. The pain was reduced by ~80% after the first session. I’ll make an appointment with Anatoly anytime I feel something is off and he never fails to fix it. I recommend him to all my friends and full intend to continue doing so. He is also an incredibly humble and hardworking guy. And great conversationalist! I can not recommend his services enough.

Anatoly is amazing! I have been looking for someone that can go pretty deep, and in a safe way. Anatoly is just that, he's able to pinpoint specific areas that need work and get right to them. I've had tight neck and shoulders for a long time, which affected my workouts. He was able to relieve the tension in a couple of settings. I could feel the difference in my workouts after my sessions with him. There are very few people that I would trust to work on my neck area and Anatoly is one of them! Highly recommend.

Anatoly is like a magician! He taps here taps there moves this moves that and the tightness just starts to dissipate! His technique feels intentional and he's full of fun doctor jokes! I came to him before a weightlifting competition to get my shoulder fixed... And he delivered!! I'm in less pain than I came in with and feel more ready to compete!

Anatoly is truly a magician with healing powers! I have no idea how he does it, but every time I have been in deep pain, he knows exactly what to do to provide instant relief. I first time I went to him was when I had a chronic knee pain a couple of years ago. I went through several doctors and many months of physio and had resigned myself to accepting the pain as a new normal until I discovered Anatoly. He fixed it by 90% - in ONE session! Ever since, whether it is a sprained back or a shoulder, there is just person I trust and he has reinforced that trust every single time.

So glad I found Anatoly! I always leave feeling like a brand new person after a massage from him. Anatoly is very attentive, personable, and is an expert of the human body. I’ve chronically suffered from lower back and hip pains from bad posture and scoliosis for many years and Anatoly always ensures the pain is either significantly less or gone completely before I leave. I can not recommend him highly enough! There’s no one else in SF I trust than Anatoly for a healing massage.

Anatoly is very kind and welcoming. He has a magical touch and doesn’t use much pressure needed to relieve tension. His style is funky, fresh, and I didn’t leave exhausted or sore the next day.

I felt compelled to right this review after seeing the most recent negative review. Anatoly is the ultimate professional. He has fixed many of my issues over that past 3 years. My fiancée goes to him all the time and she has had zero problems. She recommends all her friends to see him as well. Thank you Anatoly! Keep up the great work! See you soon

I’m still perplexed as to how he does it, Anatoly fixed my should pain of 15 years! I also had a slight slipped L5/S1 and sciatic pain for 3 years and it’s GONE. The movements were subtle. He knew exactly where to negate the stressed areas. It’s not just pain free for a day or weeks, even after months, I’m pain free. Superb knowledge of the anatomy. 💯 recommend!

I had a pinch nerve and went to Anatoli. I was in so much pain and was doing even basic tasks very gingerly. He walked me through everything he was doing and the man really really knows his stuff. A lot of times without me saying anything, he would be like, this hurts huh? It will still take a couple of days to feel 100% but I do already feel better. Highly recommended.

I feel blessed I was lucky enough to meet Anatoly and experience his incredible talent (and warm, funny personality). I had been struggling with severe neck pain for a while and having seen multiple specialists around the world, I turned to Anatoly for some temporary relief. He beyond exceeded my every expectation: not only has he helped me with my pain, he also turned out to help me with other areas of my body that were causing stress, and helped me resolve some personal issues I had been dealing with for a while. Anatoly is my secret weapon! (also that of my friends, he solved one of my friends recurring neck issue of 2 years in a single session!) to everyone in need of physical and spiritual healing for he is an outstanding professional in every aspect of his craft.

Anatoly is a true miracle worker. I’m 6’4” guy with recurring upper back and neck spasms. He is the first person I’ve found who can have me feeling 80-90% better after one session. I wouldn’t even know how to describe what he does other than “healing”. I even sent a yoga teacher there who gets body work done regularly and she raved about him. His “studio” is just him and one small table so don’t expect a fancy spa, but you will leave feeling significantly better than when you went in.

I initially came in to see Anatoly for an issue with my shoulder. Multiple sports therapists had worked to massage out the strain but Anatoly was able to pinpoint the source of the problem which wasn't my shoulder at all; it was my traps the entire time!  Within a couple of weeks I was back to normal after suffering 4 months of pain and useless sports massages.  I'm back in my gym routine and just last week I noticed a new issue popping up in my quads.  Because I came in before the strain exacerbated Anatoly was able to fix me up in one day, no down time!  Happy customer, could not recommend him enough.

Anatoly is truly unique and has real healing techniques. He understands what it takes to heal you, without any nonsense or physical therapy techniques that don’t work. The body is all connected and his methods reflect that. I had a locked rib cage which caused a ton of pain and he released it and then it quickly healed. I will be going back as often as possible.

Extraordinary! Anatoly recognized pain areas before I told him about them. He communicated clearly and was gentle but firm and fixed all of my problems. I am coming back in 2 weeks to keep improving my level of overall bodily comfort.

Anatoly is incredibly smart and knows how the body works. I’ve come to him with a few different injuries and ailments and left each time feeling much better and smarter as he talks me through high level science behind how everything is connected and works his magic on injuries/soreness. Anatoly also takes the time to help you understand what you can be doing from home (and what you should avoid) in order to achieve a speedy recovery. I look forward to every session with Anatoly!

Such amazing experiences here both times I went. You will not regret it! Anatoly is truly gifted. I also always felt safe here as a woman receiving a massage from a man (not always the case)! Respectful and healing experience.

I honestly don't know how Anatoly does it. It really seems like witchcraft or wizardry. I seen him on a couple of occasions. Once for shoulder pain and second for neck pain. He actually found other issues I didn't realize I had and addressed them as well. Calling him a massage therapist does not do him justice. He understands and really analyzes complaints and orthopedic issues in a much for nuanced and sophisticated way than any massage therapist I have seen. I recommend him to any athlete or active person to decrease pain, increase mobility, and allowing them to become more athletic.

Anatoly is a magic. He’s generous with his time and attention. He’s knowledgeable in more methodologies than you thought possible and uses them based on your specific body needs and sensitivities. Don’t wait to have him help you. Bonus: he’s a great story and joke teller.

Anatoly is just incredible - his ability to locate and eradicate pain is beyond words. Despite investing in years of chiropractic work and other ways to solve back and neck pain, Anatoly is my go to whenever things get bad. He's also great to work with and very safe given Covid. Couldn't recommend more.

Absolutely amazing. Anatoly has a true gift. I have been to many different therapist about the pain in my shoulder / back. He found the problem and fixed it with 10 minutes. Highly recommend.

Simply put: the best massage therapist i’ve ever met. I’ve had hundreds of massages all over the world, but Anatoly is simply in a different league. He is able to help release any sore muscle in under a minute using specific techniques, tailored for each case. He goes deeper than most yet entirely pain free. Absolutely magical.

Anatoly is the best ever, he’s like a magician and cure all your pain. Everyone in our family goes to him and we are all happy with his work.

I've been doing CrossFit for almost 6 years and let's be real... your body gets messed up with all the hard work you put it through, so you have to find ways to take care of it. Less than 3 years ago, one of my old coworkers went to Anatoly and would not stop raving about how amazing he was, so I figured I would go check him out. I've been going to Anatoly consistently ever since and have recommended him to countless people. My fiancé also goes to him consistently as well. Anatoly knows bodies very well and if there is one single thing I've walked away from our sessions learning is everything is somehow connected. I've gone in with a variety of different issues; knee, wrist, back, shoulder pain, and he's shown me that the pain is stemming from another issue in which he proceeds to dig into (e.g. so you're telling me my tight hamstring is caused by pain I feel in my back? What? haha). I've always left our sessions feeling like a new person. Thanks for always taking care of my fiancé and me!

Anatoly helped me recover from chronic shoulder and neck pain. I thankfully returned to normal sleep after initial sessions and maintenance for flare ups. His treatments are complementary to physical therapy and enable PT to be more effective. For each session, he first diagnosis issues and then utilizes the specific healing modalities needed, pulling from his experience with many. Not a generic template massage with one style. I've been in Bay Area healing communities my whole life so can honestly say Anatoly is a true energyworker. My long work hours on zoom are more comfortable, and my creative life involving movement is more embodied. I highly recommend him!

Anatoly has been working on me since 2015, he is one of the most skilled healers I've known. I workout aggressively with a martial arts crew and I work a lot with computers. My body needs serious alignment and muscle de-tensioning. Anatoly knows what he is doing inside and out, he is an awesome body workers and someone who I would rely on for external perspective on my life, a true gem in an era of commoditized everything.

Anatoly has fixed me more than a few times when something has been injured or just feeling off. I've also seen him for several years now for ongoing maintenance work. He is one of the most knowledgeable and differentiated therapists I've ever worked with!

Anatoly has been very helpful in providing me with relief from ongoing pain in my shoulder and neck after a car accident. I have been to numerous therapists but this is by far been the most effective thus far. Anatoly is also reassuring and takes his time to understand the issues. Thank you!

Anatoly is by far the best therapist I have visited. He has helped me with various aches and pains including elbow and low back pain. His online booking system makes it easy to make an appointment and his rates are very reasonable. He will find a way to greatly reduce your pain and increase your level of activity in and friendly environment.

I booked an appointment with Anatoly because I was having trouble with pelvis balance issues related to an old injury and to a more recent back injury. I was impressed by his skill in diagnosing the various points that needed adjustment and muscles that needed attention, both those I was aware of and other issues that came to the surface with clinical examination. He's expert in a number of treatment methods and brings them to bear in treating you. Typically, treatment can take several visits, but I was 90 percent better after just one hour, and felt better than I had for three months. I'll happily return to see him whenever I need therapeutic massage!

First time I have ever written a review, Anatoly is that good. tl;dr stop looking around and come in. Play by play below: I am a male in my late 20s that (1) does combat sports and (2) suffered from a lifetime of poor posture. Because of this, I suffer from chronic lower back pain, shoulder pain, and general muscle tightness. I came in with acute back and shoulder pain. In 1.5 hours, through a combination of techniques (some of which seemed to be magic) Anatoly released pain and pressure across my legs, back, arm, core, and shoulders. Prior to today, I did not know (1) how much pain I was in and (2) where it was stemming from. This was much more than a massage. Afterwards, I feel like parts of my body are simply weightless. My posture and flexibility has materially improved. Where there previously was tightness, there is now circulation. My quads now feel like a bag of ropes and not steel pipes. The solving of my acute issues now has exposed me to secondary and tertiary pain and tightness that was buried under acute pain. I look forward to working on that next week.

Anatoly’s gift is his knowledge, experience, and deep understanding of the body. It shows in his various techniques and his problem-solving when helping to resolve pain. He’s also a pleasure to spend time with. Thanks for what you do, Anatoly!

The work that Anatoly does is like nothing I've experienced in 20 years of massages. He understands the mechanics of your muscles and can solve issues in 1 session that you may have been plagued with for years!

Anatoly understands the body in a way that I have not experienced before, and after thousands of dollars spent on chiropractic and Thai massage I'm finally "re-educating" my body, as he says, in a way that feels like I'm finally on the road to a real solution rather than endless band-aids. One example: a pair of muscles on the outside of my neck were cramped and sore for several months. I'd been to numerous other massage places, and chiropractic (and done a lot of yoga), but nothing helped. Literally after one visit to Anatoly they relaxed. He knows how to communicate with the body in a way that is beyond what you get with ordinary massage, probably many people know that sports massage is better than Thai massage already, but it was a welcome discovery for me.

I have lived around the world and experienced the work of so many massage therapists. Anatoly is simply in a category of his own: the most powerful, the most knowledgeable, the most intuitive, the most efficient in solving the most unsolvable situations. He has relieved me and friends I have referred to him from pain in the upper and lower back, neck, arms, jaw, from migraines and so much more. He is NOT into quick fixes -- he finds the root causes of issues and fixes them for the long run. I went to him for a pain in my arm which had gotten worse (I could hardly write or use the computer) despite countless visits to chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists etc. He fixed it within three sessions. He knows more about the human body and mind than most. He is down to earth and his rates are very affordable. If you have any challenging pain or simply need a deep relaxing massage (the best preventative medicine!), go to one person only, Anatoly Lemenov.

Anatoly is professional, timely, and very knowledgeable about human anatomy. (He’s also hilarious — a nice bonus!)

What a wonderful experience! I went in with pain on the outside of my left hip, particularly when climbing stairs. I’m almost 70, but I’m extremely active—I swim, spin, and walk regularly—and I have no intention of slowing down! What impressed me most was how carefully he evaluated the way my muscles were working. He identified a possible imbalance: my left gluteal muscles weren’t doing their share of the work, and other muscles were compensating. He used a combination of gentle adjustments, electrical stimulation, and massage. The difference was remarkable! After my treatment, I could climb stairs with almost no pain. But what I appreciated most was that he didn’t just treat the symptoms. He explained what might be causing the problem and gave me a specific exercise to strengthen my glutes and improve my stability. He’s thoughtful, knowledgeable, gentle, and genuinely interested in helping his patients feel better. I left feeling so much better—and with a plan to stay that way. I highly recommend him!

If you’re suffering or just feeling stiff, do yourself a favor and get treated by Anatoly. Had a knot in my upper back and could hardly move my head, let alone twist it.. After an hour long session, I was out feeling unbelievably better. This is NOT are relaxing Thai massage, but it’s what you probably need if you’re in pain. Thank you Anatoly!

Anatoly fixed old pain and injuries I thought could never get fixed! He also completely cured back pain that had me flat on my back. He knows what he’s doing and excellent at it.

Fantastic experience!! I have had shoulder pain for a long time now, and after my visit, the pain is gone. I also feel more flexible and loose. Pain is also gone from other areas. I would 100% recommend over any other massage. Super professional and kind too!

He understands and really analyzes complaints and orthopedic issues in a much for nuanced and sophisticated way than any massage therapist I have seen. I recommend him to any athlete or active person to decrease pain, increase mobility, and allowing them to become more athletic.

Anatoly is a magic. He’s generous with his time and attention. He’s knowledgeable in more methodologies than you thought possible and uses them based on your specific body needs and sensitivities. Don’t wait to have him help you. Bonus: he’s a great story and joke teller.

Anatoly is just incredible - his ability to locate and eradicate pain is beyond words. Despite investing in years of chiropractic work and other ways to solve back and neck pain, Anatoly is my go to whenever things get bad. He's also great to work with and very safe given Covid. Couldn't recommend more.

Absolutely amazing. Anatoly has a true gift. I have been to many different therapist about the pain in my shoulder / back. He found the problem and fixed it with 10 minutes. Highly recommend.

Simply put: the best massage therapist i’ve ever met. I’ve had hundreds of massages all over the world, but Anatoly is simply in a different league. He is able to help release any sore muscle in under a minute using specific techniques, tailored for each case. He goes deeper than most yet entirely pain free. Absolutely magical.

Anatoly is the best ever, he’s like a magician and cure all your pain. Everyone in our family goes to him and we are all happy with his work.

I've been doing CrossFit for almost 6 years and let's be real... your body gets messed up with all the hard work you put it through, so you have to find ways to take care of it. Less than 3 years ago, one of my old coworkers went to Anatoly and would not stop raving about how amazing he was, so I figured I would go check him out. I've been going to Anatoly consistently ever since and have recommended him to countless people. My fiancé also goes to him consistently as well. Anatoly knows bodies very well and if there is one single thing I've walked away from our sessions learning is everything is somehow connected. I've gone in with a variety of different issues; knee, wrist, back, shoulder pain, and he's shown me that the pain is stemming from another issue in which he proceeds to dig into (e.g. so you're telling me my tight hamstring is caused by pain I feel in my back? What? haha). I've always left our sessions feeling like a new person. Thanks for always taking care of my fiancé and me!

Anatoly helped me recover from chronic shoulder and neck pain. I thankfully returned to normal sleep after initial sessions and maintenance for flare ups. His treatments are complementary to physical therapy and enable PT to be more effective. For each session, he first diagnosis issues and then utilizes the specific healing modalities needed, pulling from his experience with many. Not a generic template massage with one style. I've been in Bay Area healing communities my whole life so can honestly say Anatoly is a true energyworker. My long work hours on zoom are more comfortable, and my creative life involving movement is more embodied. I highly recommend him!

Anatoly has been working on me since 2015, he is one of the most skilled healers I've known. I workout aggressively with a martial arts crew and I work a lot with computers. My body needs serious alignment and muscle de-tensioning. Anatoly knows what he is doing inside and out, he is an awesome body workers and someone who I would rely on for external perspective on my life, a true gem in an era of commoditized everything.

Anatoly has fixed me more than a few times when something has been injured or just feeling off. I've also seen him for several years now for ongoing maintenance work. He is one of the most knowledgeable and differentiated therapists I've ever worked with!

Anatoly has been very helpful in providing me with relief from ongoing pain in my shoulder and neck after a car accident. I have been to numerous therapists but this is by far been the most effective thus far. Anatoly is also reassuring and takes his time to understand the issues. Thank you!

Anatoly is by far the best therapist I have visited. He has helped me with various aches and pains including elbow and low back pain. His online booking system makes it easy to make an appointment and his rates are very reasonable. He will find a way to greatly reduce your pain and increase your level of activity in and friendly environment.

I booked an appointment with Anatoly because I was having trouble with pelvis balance issues related to an old injury and to a more recent back injury. I was impressed by his skill in diagnosing the various points that needed adjustment and muscles that needed attention, both those I was aware of and other issues that came to the surface with clinical examination. He's expert in a number of treatment methods and brings them to bear in treating you. Typically, treatment can take several visits, but I was 90 percent better after just one hour, and felt better than I had for three months. I'll happily return to see him whenever I need therapeutic massage!

First time I have ever written a review, Anatoly is that good. tl;dr stop looking around and come in. Play by play below: I am a male in my late 20s that (1) does combat sports and (2) suffered from a lifetime of poor posture. Because of this, I suffer from chronic lower back pain, shoulder pain, and general muscle tightness. I came in with acute back and shoulder pain. In 1.5 hours, through a combination of techniques (some of which seemed to be magic) Anatoly released pain and pressure across my legs, back, arm, core, and shoulders. Prior to today, I did not know (1) how much pain I was in and (2) where it was stemming from. This was much more than a massage. Afterwards, I feel like parts of my body are simply weightless. My posture and flexibility has materially improved. Where there previously was tightness, there is now circulation. My quads now feel like a bag of ropes and not steel pipes. The solving of my acute issues now has exposed me to secondary and tertiary pain and tightness that was buried under acute pain. I look forward to working on that next week.

Anatoly’s gift is his knowledge, experience, and deep understanding of the body. It shows in his various techniques and his problem-solving when helping to resolve pain. He’s also a pleasure to spend time with. Thanks for what you do, Anatoly!

The work that Anatoly does is like nothing I've experienced in 20 years of massages. He understands the mechanics of your muscles and can solve issues in 1 session that you may have been plagued with for years!

Anatoly understands the body in a way that I have not experienced before, and after thousands of dollars spent on chiropractic and Thai massage I'm finally "re-educating" my body, as he says, in a way that feels like I'm finally on the road to a real solution rather than endless band-aids. One example: a pair of muscles on the outside of my neck were cramped and sore for several months. I'd been to numerous other massage places, and chiropractic (and done a lot of yoga), but nothing helped. Literally after one visit to Anatoly they relaxed. He knows how to communicate with the body in a way that is beyond what you get with ordinary massage, probably many people know that sports massage is better than Thai massage already, but it was a welcome discovery for me.

I have lived around the world and experienced the work of so many massage therapists. Anatoly is simply in a category of his own: the most powerful, the most knowledgeable, the most intuitive, the most efficient in solving the most unsolvable situations. He has relieved me and friends I have referred to him from pain in the upper and lower back, neck, arms, jaw, from migraines and so much more. He is NOT into quick fixes -- he finds the root causes of issues and fixes them for the long run. I went to him for a pain in my arm which had gotten worse (I could hardly write or use the computer) despite countless visits to chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists etc. He fixed it within three sessions. He knows more about the human body and mind than most. He is down to earth and his rates are very affordable. If you have any challenging pain or simply need a deep relaxing massage (the best preventative medicine!), go to one person only, Anatoly Lemenov.

Anatoly is professional, timely, and very knowledgeable about human anatomy. (He’s also hilarious — a nice bonus!)

What a wonderful experience! I went in with pain on the outside of my left hip, particularly when climbing stairs. I’m almost 70, but I’m extremely active—I swim, spin, and walk regularly—and I have no intention of slowing down! What impressed me most was how carefully he evaluated the way my muscles were working. He identified a possible imbalance: my left gluteal muscles weren’t doing their share of the work, and other muscles were compensating. He used a combination of gentle adjustments, electrical stimulation, and massage. The difference was remarkable! After my treatment, I could climb stairs with almost no pain. But what I appreciated most was that he didn’t just treat the symptoms. He explained what might be causing the problem and gave me a specific exercise to strengthen my glutes and improve my stability. He’s thoughtful, knowledgeable, gentle, and genuinely interested in helping his patients feel better. I left feeling so much better—and with a plan to stay that way. I highly recommend him!

If you’re suffering or just feeling stiff, do yourself a favor and get treated by Anatoly. Had a knot in my upper back and could hardly move my head, let alone twist it.. After an hour long session, I was out feeling unbelievably better. This is NOT are relaxing Thai massage, but it’s what you probably need if you’re in pain. Thank you Anatoly!

Anatoly fixed old pain and injuries I thought could never get fixed! He also completely cured back pain that had me flat on my back. He knows what he’s doing and excellent at it.

Fantastic experience!! I have had shoulder pain for a long time now, and after my visit, the pain is gone. I also feel more flexible and loose. Pain is also gone from other areas. I would 100% recommend over any other massage. Super professional and kind too!
