TESTIMONIALS

Andrew,
I can't begin to thank you enough.  I was still in a bit of pain and stiff with spotty spasms but my muscles were much more relaxed and at about 9:30 tonight, while stretching, there was a pop and a quick burst of pain in the center of my back.  Almost immediately, everything felt close to normal...just a little sore.  I feel so much better.  I just wanted you to know how thankful I am.  Have a great weekend. See you in a week and a half.
Thanks,
Tim
Andrew Wolfe is without question the best massage therapist that has worked with me. After a serious motor vehicle accident, Andrew helped to bring my upper body into perfect mobility. The emphasis was on breaking down scar tissue and focusing on the area of injury. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone who is looking for rehabilitation --- since the results I experienced were phenomenal'. Holly Lyman
The best around, if you need help, you need to come see him. Very, Very Good!                            Kim W Marysville WA
I have been a monthly regular with Andrew Wolfe since 1993. At 63 years of age the benefits I receive keep me healthy and limber. Allowing me to keep an active lifestyle skiing and flying. Since having regular massage I rarely ever contract a cold. I'll keep my monthly schedule forever.
Excellent results! – After rotator cuff surgery my doctor referred me to physical therapy. I saw some improvement. But when I went back to my doctor I told him what was most beneficial was the massage, which was only provided some of the time and not for very long. He highly recommend Andrew Wolfe at Harmony Licensed Massage Therapy. I went to him and was very impressed as well as my doctor, about how I progressed. After the first treatment I could tell this was the therapy I should have been doing all along. I would highly recommend Andrew. I have been to other massage therapist's in the past for relaxing massages and never knew the medical side of a massage and the benefits that it could achieve. Andrew is very knowledgeable and I owe him the progress of my complete healing.

No more back pain! Andrew is a miracle worker!! I can't thank you enough for the help that you have given me. I was experiencing sever back pain that was traveling down my leg. There were days I could not bear to stand on my own feet. I had someone drive me to my first several appointments to see you because the pain was so great. I saw you over 3 weeks 2 to 3 times a week. I even made an appointment to get an injection in my back. But I was able to cancel it because I was in NO MORE PAIN, thanks to you. What I needed was deep massage. I have had rolfing and other deep work, but I never had a deep tissue massage like what you gave. Andrew you are a miracle worker! I am so glad I found you! J.P.

Andrew is an exceptional massage therapist! I been to others and can tell the difference in his therapy. His therapy is genuine and unique. He is a very knowledgeable, not just in regards to the body and massage therapy, but in so many other realms. Other therapist just touch the body, Andrew works the body with deeper, more profound, lasting results, not a back rub, Andrew massages with insight unlike any other therapist I have ever known!

The perfect massage therapist for rehabilitation from knee surgery! by Cheryl Barron - 11/03/2011 After knee surgery I had 6 weeks of physical therapy which served only to cause further inflammation. Then I found Andrew! His deep tissue massage is exactly the right therapy, and I am now having rapid healing and great progress. Thank you so much Andrew! C B from Camano Island

“I first saw Andrew Wolfe several years ago because of back problems. I was able to get great relief after seeing him. I have been to other therapist since then who offered specials and been very disappointed. I have been back to Andrew now and have no plans to seek out any other therapist. With a few extra dollars it makes sense for me to invest in seeing Andrew and getting results than seeing another therapist. Seeking out any one else is simply a waste of my time and money. Andrew is a stellar therapist. He knows WAY more than anyone else in his field.”

Andrew was the first massage therapist I ever saw. I since have seen others because I moved out of the area and was sadly disappointed every time with the care of others I sought out. None compared to him. Now that I have moved back into the area I am seeing him again. I am never leaving again

“Dear Andrew. So much improvement in the jaw, amazing!!!!!! Your treatments have assisted this old body to mend and improve, where it would not have found this path otherwise. I truly appreciate all your knowledge and efforts into new territory of posture, physical health, and mental outlook. The pain over the winter was most humbling, and the appreciating for renewed health is inspiring. Maureen”

Fibromyalgia care.

Fibromyalgia, how do you detect, how do you treat? What do your clients who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia have in common? Do you have a protocol, or is everyone of them different? I now have met several with the diagnosis and see some commonality. Forum on Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP) “I work with several patients whom have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Doc's don't know what to for it other than throwing drugs at it, although there seems to be some that do work for some patients. I have had some patients that have had Doc's just throw one medication after another with some patients on a cocktail of several medications. I have found with palpation, as I describe it to patients, that the tissues feel like "glue". There are also tender points within the fascia that are present, and pain that seems to travel. Slow myofascial release therapy, I have found, works well with my patients suffering from FM. It is slow enough, I feel, for the nervous system to adjust to the information of the tissue to respond. There are other reports that suggest a lack of vitamin D and B12 play a role with FM, as well as past trauma that has not been resolved in the tissues.“. Andrew Wolfe, LMP
Just wanted to share my two cents about being a male massage therapist. Comment by other male massage therapist on formun Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP) Response; Andrew Wolfe,LMP "I have been in the profession for 26 years.I started and continued my private practice by focusing on medical and rehabilitation massage therapy. This has made a difference to me and my practice. There have been some hurdles I have encounter but it comes down to confidence and a willingness to step outside of ones own comfort zone to feel solid in oneself that allows others to feel comfortable with themselves to work with me regardless of how I ware my skin".

Treatment of Back and Spine Conditions With Massage Therapy

When individuals think about the treatment of their spine they think of a number of ways they can treat it. Commonly prescribe thinking under mainstream medicine is to medicate it. While medication can help reduce the pain level and help fight inflammation, it masks the pain by hiding it; thereby not resolving the underlying cause of the pain. Medications allow us to go on with our day to lives in our demanding schedules but do nothing to correct the problem. The problem may be stemming from a number of things. Pain is a broad term and very subjective; as subjective as the person experiencing it. Acute pain (that arriving of a new injury or trauma or onset) is easier to determine the cause. By assessing what the individual did prior to the onset uncovers a lot of the mystery. But sometimes it’s not that simple. Back pain affects some 8 out of 10 people statistically at some point in the lives according to NIH: National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. It is the number one reason of disability of persons under the age of 45 as well as the second leading cause of doctors visits in American, second only to the common cold; (http://wpms2063.com/images/backtek/Back%20Pain%20Statistics.pdf). By taking an assessment of the history of the patient a better determination can be made. A proper diagnosis makes recovery easier to treat. Simple muscle strains and strain makes up for a lot of discomfort in individuals as well emotional, physical and physiological stress, poor nutrition, poor body mechanics, repetitive use dysfunction, spinal abnormalities, scar tissue formation from past unresolved traumas and or surgery and other abnormalities including underlying diseases can exhibit symptoms of back pain. So as simple as the diagnosis is of having back pain, it may have other dimensions that create a complexity of findings. Most health care providers as well as insurance companies policies require, which is a practical approach, is to start with the most cost effective and least evasive (non intrusive to the body) care in managing pain of a patient. Massage therapy happens to be one of the conservative, more natural approaches of healing for back and spine pain. By addressing the connective tissues in relaxing the tissue, giving it normal length and range of motion, eliminating scar tissue and inflammation and increasing circulation you allow healing to take place naturally. The attachments of soft tissue correspond to underlying structures (bone and cartilage) of the body giving it the ability to be flexible. By lengthening the tissues and addressing these attachments (connections to the structure or skeletal system) you are able to affect the body and it s structures naturally by changing the formation of dysfunction. Muscles and the soft tissues sounding and making up the muscular system are malleable and conduct behavior by patterning itself to conditioned response from the nervous system. Trauma, disease, stress, lifestyle, surgery and other dysfunctions as noted prior can disturb, change and affect adversely this response creating a repatterning that when becoming chronic (long-standing) can assume as “normal” conditioning or patterning. By changing the repatterning of dysfunction through soft tissue manipulation the body find restoration and balance. www.harmonymassagetherapy.com Copy write 3/30/2012

Massage Therapy; Natural Healing by Andrew Wolfe, LMP

Looking for a natural approach towards healing without the use of drugs or surgery? Have you considered massage therapy? With more and more people looking for a viable option of health, rehabilitation and recovery from surgery, accidents, injuries and trauma individuals have sought out many kinds of approaches. Most individuals in the health care industry will opt patients to take pharmaceuticals, undertake physical therapy or submit to surgery, if the condition is serious enough to warrant it. Many people simply don’t know about other options or they were never disclosed as having other approaches available to them to seek out. The time has come to “think outside the box” of conventional thinking to a broader base of a natural approach. Although there is no “quick fix” as a lot of us have been conditioned to believe there are, other options are available and more assessable than one might think to defer or avoid surgery or the harmful effects of drugs. These conventional options many not be appropriate for all patient. For example, if a patient is in drug recovery the pharmaceutics route is not an option and now with stricter drug dispensary laws, drugs prescribing is not a long term option for those in chronic pain ( non cancer); reference (WAC 246-919-850 ) as stated in the Washington Administrative Code as set by the state. Surgery is another example. It may also not be an option for some patients in which the end result would not serve to alleviate their pain, put them in a higher risk category or even worsen their condition. Massage therapy is a natural, non surgical, drug free, safe and effective modality to help with pain and assist in the recovery of surgery and injury. www.harmonymassagetherapy.com Copy write 4/30/2011
