Testimonials Thanks so much for taking the time to find a NYC Medical Massage therapist connection for me. Though, I do wish you had a two town practice that bounced you back and forth between Asheville and NYC. If I were in Asheville, I believe you would be able to get my body back into much better shape. I recognize the very skillful caring way you work and feel fortunate that I have had two massages by you. You are truly gifted ! !I remembered your advise from 2007 and the massage in late June confirmed my opinion " that your massage therapy is the BEST and had a very helpful affect".....but sadly....it is not easy to find a match to you locally. I will keep searching. I am going to be seeing an acupuncturist NYC, Jon Simon, who comes with very good recommendation and through him, he may be able to head me in the right direction to a massage therapist who has a skill set like yours with attention to lymphatic massage. Though I rarely get down to Asheville, I am going to make an effort of come back your way in the near future, as long as I know I can have an appointment in your schedule. It was great to see you June 19 2009. It has been my serendipitous good fortune to have met you via our visits to Asheville. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom regarding the best approaches for me to take to resolve my Neuromuscular and lymphatic issues. I look forward to seeing you sometime in the future. Be healthy and well. L. Edwards New York, NY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For years I suffered from a condition known as Frozen Shoulder. I had very limited range of motion in my right arm and I was always in pain. This condition limited my ability to continue to work as a designer and builder of Broadway show sets. Through my doctor I heard about Mike Krizek and his Massage & MediCupping techniques. My doctor advised me of two choices, one was surgery, the other was an alternative medical approach know as MediCupping / Massage Cupping. I was skeptical, as I never heard of treatments with the use of vacuum cups applied to an injured area of the body. Previously , my treatments where bi-weekly physical therapy sessions and I was constantly taking prescribed muscle relaxers and pain killers to get some form of relief to my chronic problem. Normally I would have regular treatment sessions with my Physical Therapist. I did get some relief but within a few days after these sessions , I always returned to the same chronic pain and limited range of motion that I had come to live with. I am so happy I took the road least traveled, Immediately after my first series of treatments with the MediCupping/ Massage Cupping procedures, my pain was diminishing. As my treatments continued from Mike Krizek, I also was gaining more and more range of motion and the intermittent numbness I use to have disappeared. Thank you so much, I now have full range of motion and enjoy my work once again. P. Tomasko ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As a world class professional Mountain Biker, and top ranked American in the world cup series, I need to maintain optimal health in order for me to claim my spot on the U.S. women Olympic Mountain Biking team. Due to my rigorous daily training , and extensive racing and travel schedule, I needed effective bodywork treatments that would keep me at peak performance levels. I was introduced to Medical Massage Therapist , Mike Krizek, though a friend. My legs and lower back were constantly sore and I needed better range of motion. Mike performed several Massage Cupping sessions on my legs and lower back. The effects of these treatments were so dramatic that I was amazed about how good I felt right after my series of treatments. After my next race, I immediately noticed I was not in pain and that my performance had greatly improved. I continue to see Mike Krizek on a regular basis for bodywork treatments and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to experience specialized bodywork treatments that will give you results.

I was tired of taking muscle relaxants and need to find someone that could bring me relief and allow me to live a better life. I went to my insurance carrier looking for a Medical Massage Therapist that accepted my insurance but also a Medical Massage therapist trained in pain management related to my Parkinson‘s condition. At that time, the only Medical Massage therapist listed was Mike Krizek. What a find ! He is an extremely talented therapist. I see him on a regular basis and the difference he has made in my life has been immeasurable. He is patient and he takes the time to explain his approach to your condition. I can only say that if you are extreme pain or have chronic conditions that nothing you are currently doing seems to work, Make an appointment with Mike Krizek LMBT , I highly recommend him. M. Dunham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I first met Mike Krizek, I was not sure how he would react to the comments I wrote on his client intake form. “ I hurt all over”. I have Fibromyalgia. With a great sense of confidence he looked up at me and said “I have worked with this condition before, lets get started ”. I enjoyed my first session immediately. I noticed right away during this session with him , that he was acutely aware of the pain that this condition can bring to the various parts of my body. He introduced me to his specialized training in Massage Cupping / MediCupping. The treatments I have had with the massage cups were awesome. I can only say you have to experience a massage session with him to understand how effective this technique is. Also for the first time in a very long time, I have had the most relaxing and restful sleep that I had not experienced for a long time. What a pleasure it was to wake up feeling ready to go. I am so happy I finally found the right therapist, Mike Krizek to help me with my condition. I am loving life all over again. C. Causby ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have had chronic sciatic nerve pain for many years. As an administrator of a busy office. I am at my desk and constantly and also in front of a computer, which has caused me to suffer severe lower back pain and numbness. I do not like Chiropractic treatments and needed something other than pain killers and days off that I was taking hoping to eliminate my problem. A good friend of mine recommended Mike Krizek, Medical Massage Therapist. When I first met Mike Krizek I knew he was different. He takes a very analytical approach to his treatments. I filled out a very detailed client intake form he gave me. We also spent a good amount of time discussing my problem and what he felt would be a good treatment plan approach. He is extremely thorough. Within my first few sessions, my pain and numbness had subsided. Amazing! Mike Krizek is truly a gifted Medical Massage Therapist. I now schedule regular massage sessions with him as a healthy maintenance program. It is a wonderful feeling being pain free. Thank you Mike Krizek. C. Wigginton ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As an owner of a very busy hair styling salon my hands were wearing out. I had started to develop symptoms of Carpel Tunnel syndrome. Numbness and constant aches were felt in my hands and arms. My doctor advised me surgery would be in inevitable if I did not change what I was doing. How could I ? I used my hands in my daily work . I met Mike Krizek, Medical Massage Therapist, from a friend who had a similar issues and Mike was able to help him. Mike Krizek, started a treatment program where he incorporated the use of vacuum cups which he used on my hands and arms. He explained that through repetitive motion of using the scissors in my right and left hand, the tissue had tightened and compressed the nerves and vessels in my hands. After several treatments the Massage Cupping/ MediCupping session were able to open up the restriction in my hands and eliminate the numbness and pain I had felt. Mike Krizek also taught me self help maintenance treatments so that I could maintain healthy hands and enjoy my work. I continue to see Mike Krizek for regular relaxation massages and massage cupping. You Rock Mike !!!!! D. Taylor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My doctor advised me that I would have to continue to stay on my stress medication in order for me to continue to have a healthy lifestyle. I really wanted to get off my medication and was seeking alternatives that would help my situation. I started to exercise on a regular basis which seemed to help me reduce my anxiety and stress levels. But I was still having to take my medication. My doctor also suggested that getting a massage on a regular basis is an alternative method that has proven results for managing stress related problems in many people. I never had a massage before and frankly I did not think I would be comfortable with this approach. I mentioned my situation to a co-worker and she recommended a Medical Massage Therapist by the name of Mike Krizek. After my initial visit with Massage therapist Mike Krizek, he took extra time with me and made me feel very comfortable about having a massage session. He was very detailed and professional. Since several visits , I have been able to stop taking stress medications. My doctor was also pleased with my results of my massage sessions. I continue to see Mike Krizek, Medical Massage Therapist for maintenance sessions. K. Drucker
