| "When I first came to Rick, I was suffering from
MIGRAINE headaches and neck pain. I have been having headaches since
childhood. The mobility in my neck was severely hindered and greatly
affected my daily life. Rick’s massage treatments have enabled me to live headache-free for the past month. I have full range of motion in my neck and it’s amazing the change in my moods and my life. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone with migraine headaches and neck problems. I plan to continue maintenance with Rick, and thank him for the hope of eliminating migraines forever." - Elysa Nelson, Bellingham, WA |

I began seeing Rick with daily headaches and migranes. I was having
trouble sleeping and had to been on sleeping medication for 7 months.
On my first office visit I was on day 21 of a migrane that wouldn't go
away. After one treatment- it was gone then next day. Over time my
constant daily headaches disappeared and the migranes came less often
and were less intense. I went from having a migrane twice a week (each
migrane lasting 2 to 3 days) to now going a month and half without
one. I no longer take medication to help with sleeping. I would
encourage anyone struggling with headaches or migranes to see Rick
Phan!

| About four months ago I saw the ad in the
Bellingham Herald about the deep therapeutic massage by Rick Phan. I was
having so much pain in my neck, back and buttock area. My muscles were
so tight and hard. I decided to give Rick a call and make an
appointment. He has helped me so much in every area. I had so much pain
I could only stand at the sink for a short time. I am so much better
now, but still need regular sessions to maintain muscle flexibility and
relieve the pain of arthritis. I also had migraine headaches for years
and since I’ve been having treatments from Rick, I haven’t had any for
three months. Rick is very knowledgeable and works in such a
professional manner. - Marian VanLant, Retired, Lynden, WA |

| I have been seeing Rick Phan for about three
months, beginning February 2002. Originally I went in for cervical spine
degeneration and several bulging discs in my neck. This has caused
severe muscle tension, nervousness and extreme discomfort and anxiety.
Rick has been able to relieve most of the tension in my neck and
shoulders at this point. Another surprising and unexpected result has
been relief from migraine headaches, which I experienced on a monthly
basis due to the hormonal changes. Now I haven’t had a migraine for two
months, going on three. I don’t even have the pre- migraine symptoms!
For over two years I have had massage therapy from several very
qualified therapists, but I have never experienced the recovery and the
healing results as I have from Rick Phan’s work. He has specific
techniques that are unique in his field, and tailored to each persons
problems. I have recommended him to everyone and especially to those
with very stubborn spinal problems and migraine headaches. Very
sincerely, - Gwen Peterson, Bellingham, WA |

| "I started receiving deep tissue massage therapy
from Rick Phan in February 2002. I had finally reached my breaking point
with extreme muscle pain in my shoulders, upper back and neck. After a
detailed history, Rick discovered I had also suffered from migraine
headaches since 1989, which averaged approximately two to three a week.
I had lived with the migraines for so long, I didn't think it was
possible for any long term relief. Luckily, I discovered I was wrong.
Not only has Rick helped me with the muscle pain, he has also helped
tremendously with my migraines. I've gone from two to three a week to
two a month. He sincerely understands and genuinely wants to help his
patients to live a pain free life. I appreciate his honesty, his
professionalism, and his hard work. - Joetta Egan, Lynden, WA |

| "Trying is believing!! Believe me! Before I
started seeing Rick Phan, I suffered from migraine headaches that would
last from 1 to 3 days steady. I usually only got a day or so break
before another one came on. I had the type behind the eye and in the
brow, my vision was effected. Sudden movement made my head explode. I
didn’t want any noise or light. I was undergoing Chemo therapy at the
time but I was told migraines were not a common side effect and in fact
they had never had that complaint from my drugs before. I had also been
in a few fender benders over the years and suffered whiplash. I didn’t
know where to turn, except my dark bedroom. I had heard about people who
had migraines and never got relief. Then I came upon the sign on the
building at the Massage Clinic and thought what the heck, what have I
got to loose? I spoke directly with Rick and he started his migraine
specific therapy right away. Now I only have about one migraine a month
that is usually treatable with 2 Excedrin Migraine tablets. I am very
grateful for all Rick has done for me and highly recommend his therapy
to everyone! - Debbie Romaszka, 38 years old, Bookkeeper in Bellingham, WA |

| For the past year I have been getting severe daily
headaches and neck pains. I got migraine headaches about once a
month and had a terrible time sleeping through the night. I took
over the counter medicine on a regular basis, but it never seemed to
make me feel better. Once I started going to Rick, my headaches
were few and far between. I have not had a migraine since and I
can sleep through the night. I no longer have neck pains and I
feel 100% better. It really has made an amazing noticeable
difference in my everyday life. - Nicole Schreiber |

"I am 33 years old and have been having headaches for as long as I can remember. I own a business here in Bellingham and many weeks I have had to leave my office early due to the in ability to function properly from the headaches. Before going to see Rick, I was having 2-3 medium to severe headaches per week. Others, in my family have had severe headaches/migraines for several years and so I thought that there was no cure for me, and that I would always have to suffer with them. I have still tried as many methods as I could to relieve the stress and tension that I felt caused my pain. For the last 13 years I have tried probably 15 different type pillows and 6 Chiropractors trying to find the source of my pain. Rick was the first person that seemed to understand exactly what I was feeling and where the headaches were coming from. I have seen Rick 6 times in the last 3 weeks and I have noticed a big difference in not only the amount of headaches but also the severity of the pain, both have decreased dramatically in just 3 short weeks. I am definitely functioning much better at work and I am very optimistic that I will soon be able to say that I no longer suffer with head and neck pain." -David Powell, Owner of Moving & Storage Solutions, Inc., Bellingham, WA |

| Dear Rick, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your help and commitment to making my neck, back, and jaw feel better. Before I came to see you, I got terrible headaches on a regular basis, 3-4 times a week! Since I’ve been receiving massages I haven’t had any headaches and my TMJ problem seems to be lessening. I can tell a difference in my posture, my energy level and in my mobility. I am grateful for all that you have done! Thanks. - Christina Visalli |
