"I was referred to Rick Phan by my friend Susan
Pierce. I was suffering lower back pain and the condition known as
sciatica. Not only was there pain in my back but also shooting pain
running from my low back down my legs. My right leg was the most
affected from sciatica. Rick was confident that his therapy would help
me with my sciatica. Our plan was to have two massages per week for six
weeks. I noticed after only two visits that the pain was not as severe.
After four visits much of the pain in my low back was gone. At this
point in my treatment Rick changed to focus on my legs and my Gluteus
muscles. After six visits I had flexibility enough to touch my knees to
my chest from a laying position. By the ninth visit I had no back pain,
no shooting pain down my legs and had only slight discomfort in my hip
and Gluteus area. The day of my eleventh visit I felt as good as ever
and felt confident that Ricks therapy was just what my body needed to
get healthy and flexible so that I could continue the active lifestyle I
love. I would highly recommend Rick Phan for massage therapy to anyone
with confidence that his techniques bring positive results.

"Before I saw Rick I had low and mid back pain
with a sciatic nerve which caused shooting pain down my right leg. This
lowered my range of motion. After seeing Rick six times I started to
feel back to normal. I had massage therapy earlier that year, but I had
not received very good results as I did with Rick. Now that I have seen
Rick for a total of ten visits I feel fantastic. The encouragement that
I received from Rick made me want to take better care of myself. I will
continue to recommend Rick to my friends and family.

"Robert Bertschinger, who came to see me with very
severe sciatic nerve condition. With initial visit, he could not sit,
drive, stand, walk, work, or sleep without very severe pain and totally
lost range of motion in his lower back. After 12 visits, most of the
pain is gone. Now he be able to do everything normal as before." |

For almost 7 years I have suffered
chronic pain along the top/outer area of my right leg from the knee
almost up to the hip. Standing or a slow browsing walk even for a short
time was extremely painful. Now after 10 visits with Rick Phan I find my
leg very much improved. The big test came when I spent 4 1/2 hours at
the Home Show in Lynden (March 2001) with no pain. A week later I spent
over 35 minutes standing at the kitchen sink and counter
preparing/chopping/pealing vegetables for home made vegetable soup with
no leg pain. Thanks Rick for the relief. I highly recommend Rick to
anyone.
