I have been getting massages from Edward for seven? eight? years– a long time. He has worked on and through bike injuries(hello car door!), running tightness, stints of carpal tunnel pain, both my pregnancies(debilitating back pain + no ibuprofen = ouch), and the overworked and overtired neck and shoulders from carrying my boys from birth to now over 35 pounds. He does amazing bodywork. It would be enough if Edward just focused on the physical therapy aspect of massage therapy. But, he’s a wonderful and engaging person to talk to too. While Edward has mercy on me, the person who is anxious with a thousand worries(Do you overcook or undercook banana bread? I think undercooking makes it more moist, but it’s for a friend. Do I want it to taste great but make her sick?), he has little mercy for the knots and pain I manifest in my body. Whether it is stress or a physical injury, I am so deeply grateful to have Edward help me.
