Testimonials
The work we do at Écarg Therapeutic Bodyworks, LLC is by nature measurable and result oriented. Everyone seen (whether or not it’s their first time to massage therapy), will always have some form of results. It is not uncommon for results to be so dramatic at times, clients leave treatment sessions pain free, and often with just one treatment. We see clients with all kinds of pain, some very excruciating at times, they are in tears. An example of such degree of pain is Nerve Impingement. The most satisfying and rewarding feeling are to see a client's physical transformation and hear him or her report the removal or reduction of their pain level.
Some of the issues we deal with on a day to day basis are: Tennis Elbow, Nerve Impingement, Spasms, Muscle Damage (Sports related injury), Scar Tissue, Headaches, Neck pain, Upper/Lower Back Pain, and increasingly, more work related pain.
We believe the best testimonials come from the people who have been helped and they are standing by to share their stories with any interested party who may call requesting to speak with them. However, here are some testimonials clients sent us which are posted below. These stories are subject to change, and as new ones come in we will update this page to make them available to everyone.
1. This client writes: "Lorna's massage was more than the usual poke and push. Her intuitive style found the knots and loosened them in a way that worked with my body instead of against it. I have had a lot of experiences with massage that left me sore and bruised and while I like a very strong massage, I felt that Lorna was able to do that without leaving me in pain the next day. She also didn't set a timer but instead made sure she had addressed all my issues before we were finished.
Thanks Lorna for going beyond the usual!"
Kristin Huffman, Broadway Actress and Entrepreneur, Milford, CT
2. This client writes: "I am writing to thank you for the attention and care you have provided for me during my painful encounter with "Tennis Elbow". I immediately recognized the injury had dissipated after your therapeutic massage. I enjoy training for marathons and running in local races which without your routine massages my muscle cramping and injuries would prevent me from attaining my sports goals.
My chronic neck pain from daily life stress requires your close attention. I thank you for listening, focusing and applying your knowledge to fix me. I always leave with an education on how to better take care of my whole being. You are a "cure all" and I always look forward to our time together.
If I had the money Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy, Nicole Smith or Michael Jackson, I would have hired you to be my full time healer. You must come with a guarantee for longevity, increased fulfillment and energy - did I mention a decrease in physical pain. It’s all on the upside with you. That's why I want to take a moment to write a note to personally let you know, I cherish your professional God-given gift.
Appreciatively!"
Maria LoRicco, CEO/President, New Haven, CT
3. This client reports: "I have been having neck pain for quite some time. I talked to my doctor about the pain who then referred me to a physical therapist. After a series of sessions, I noticed I was not feeling any better. I discussed it with the physical therapist who suggested trying massage therapy.
I have been seeing Lorna since February 2010. Her technique in identifying the source of discomfort was very effective which resulted in almost immediate relief using Corporate Chair Massage.
I look forward to my continued improvement under Lorna's care."
Joe Raffone, Realtor, Hamden, CT
4. This client writes: "This was my first massage and it came at a good time. Three days ago, I made the mistake of lifting my daughter’s book bag (she's in high school) and that evening, I started feeling pain in my left shoulder blade. I tried heat and Motrin with not much relief. I am happy to say that after this massage, I feel much better (not 100%, but at least 80%). I am very pleased and would highly recommend massage therapy!"
Mary Morcaldi, Nurse, North Haven, CT
