Pennington Massage Clinic

I tripped at a conference this weekend and Todd was great at straightening out my neck and my knee! Thanks Todd!

I am an active, healthy person but the more I exercised the tighter my leg muscles got (stretching, potassium, protein and foam rolling did not help a bit). It got so bad, I decided to get a massage even though I couldn’t afford it at the time. I found Pennington Massage Clinic on Unilocal and made an appointment.
I still can’t believe it, but after my first massage, my leg was 50% better! Todd Pennington located the cause of the problem and released the frozen leg muscles. He uses alternating deep tissue pressure that is easier to tolerate than other techniques I have endured (the muscles in his hands may have a slight quake from giving so many massages).
In addition to treatment, Pennington Massage is big on prevention. Todd showed me that I am somewhat hyper-​mobile and that I have been hyper-​extending my joints which has caused my muscles to try to support them. I essentially had frozen body. With this information I have been able to change my sitting, standing, resting habits and to stop re-​injuring myself. I now do joint strengthening isolation exercises plus maintenance massage therapy at Pennington Massage Clinic. Thank goodness their rates are affordable.
I have been to several appointments now and can attest to the fact that they are fully committed to what they do. Todd also provides massage therapy for MS patients and his wife Pam is an experienced cancer patient massage therapist. You can trust Todd and his wife Pam 110%. They are two of the most kind and sincere people I’ve ever met.

I’ve been struggling with intense muscle tension from an ergo problem in my office (limbs falling asleep, headaches, shoulder pain, extreme fatigue, etc.), and after an hour with Todd, I feel better than I have in months. He explained the various problems he saw and what he could do to correct them. He told me what he could do to help me and laid out a specific treatment plan. Thank Goodness! I’ll be back!

Todd gave me the best therapeutic massage. I have had a frozen shoulder and he helped it in one session improve at least 50%. My neck and shoulders were tight and after his massage the ROM and creaking improved significantly. I made an appointment to return twice a week. I highly recommend him to anyone with headache, neck, shoulder and back problems, and anyone who thinks they are too stiff.

I too used a Groupon Now, but called before purchasing it to see if I’d be able to get an appointment same day. I did and was treated with great care and received excellent work by Todd who was able to alleviate the majority of my lower back discomfort. It was my first massage geared for actual therapy work rather than just pampering, although Todd does those type as well. I’m feeling considerably better after the session and thank Todd for his excellent massage.

I am someone who gets massages not as a «treat» but as a therapy for chronic pain. If you’re looking for relaxation massage in a hip location with lots of asian chic décor and talk about your qi then look elsewhere. This is more akin to a medical practitioner’s office than spa parlor. What matters to me is that Todd delivers on the promise of pain relief. He helped me adjust my posture, worked trigger points in my neck and thigh. He is mechanically very good at what he does and has an intuitive sense for finding key fascia and problem muscle tissues. I highly recommend him for pain relief.

Sadly, I have to agree with Chris G’s rating. My review is also based on customer service. The man I spoke to seemed put off when I mentioned I had a «Groupon Now», as he «just filled up with regulars». If you don’t want new clients/​people who pay half price, then maybe you shouldn’t advertise on Groupon.
