Stories of Healing

Chad R.

I went to Al May to experience Craniosacral Therapy as a fellow massage therapist. Al spoke to me briefly and told me what to expect before he started. At the end of the session, I asked him what he found and what I should expect from the session over the next few days. He explained that he found that my right frontal lobe (the area above my eyebrow) was out of place and out of sync with the craniosacral rhythm. He also went on to explain how my skull was sutured together and not just one piece of bone. Then he told me that he got my right frontal lobe to slide back into place as he could hear and feel the fluid rushing around that part of my brain. This was amazing to me since I had never told him about the time I had slipped and face-planted on a stone floor with my forehead on my right side giving me a concussion.   

 

Now I send everyone to Al whether they have had trauma to their head, neck, spine, headaches, migraines, or just simply need to unwind. My recommendation is to give him a try because each time I go I feel relief in multiple ways.

"I have been a client of Al May since 2012. I started seeing him shortly after I was diagnosed with arthritis, and he immediately became an integral part of my pain management process. I think what sets Al apart from other massage therapists is his ability to calmly and compassionately listen to your body’s needs. He takes that information and uses it to develop a plan of care that you will not find anywhere else. His understanding of the human body and the intricacies of the nervous system give him a unique ability to go above and beyond in his care for clients. At times, I’ve been in tears from pain at the beginning of appointments, but Al somehow managed to calm my screaming body every single time.

 

I’m so grateful to count him among my team of doctors and therapists, and highly recommend Al to anyone looking to improve their overall quality of life."

I have had the privilege of being Al May's client for over 10 years. I was not a novice to having a massage but had never been one to get them regularly UNTIL I met Al. His knowledge and compassion are exceptional. He has been with me through major surgeries including a knee replacement, and without him, I am certain those recoveries would not have gone so well. Finding a massage therapist and having regular sessions is a GIFT you should give yourself. It helps not just your physical well being but your stress levels and mental state. All too often I hear people talk about having a "hot stone" massage or a "deep tissue" massage...or "insert a new idea here" massage. One bonus of working with Al is his constant pursuit of knowledge regarding his chosen profession. He has a great understanding of the human body and always makes sure to be responsive to what YOUR BODY needs for each massage. It isn't ONE TYPE of massage...it is complete attention to what all parts of your body need in each session. 

 

I have recommended Al to many friends and family over the years with complete confidence because I know that there is no one better at providing relaxation, pain-relief, and peace.
