"I have been working with Dan for years now. He is a consummate professional and has an amazing combination of technical anatomical knowledge and intuitive sense of the body.

"Dan has shown caring, compassion and respect for me and for my physical problems. He provides a safe, comfortable and beautiful space for bodywork. I am continually impressed with his knowledge and experience with many different techniques. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone seeking relief from restricted movement and pain."

"The time spent working with Dan has greatly enhanced the quality of my life. I first sought treatment to address chronic back pain. I was unaware that this symptom was indicative of more serious issues. Dan's work goes way beyond traditional massage therapy. I had worked with other therapists with moderate success, however, the symptom always reoccurred in a short time. Dan taught me a new form of self-awareness. I learned how my posture, motion, and attitudes were causing the pain.
"Many of the lessons learned were very esoteric in nature and difficult to put into words. Suffice it to say that many tangible benefits were gained beyond a mere reduction in the pain. The work we did together freed up a tremendous amount of energy that was trapped in my body. I find that this has resulted in the following:
- - I am happier and more at peace.
- - I have more energy for my day-to-day activities.
- - I no longer fear growing old and becoming infirm.
- - I am 2-3 inches taller.
Working with Dan has transformed my life. If you are in pain, I know he can help you too.

"I first came to Dan Schmidt for a pinched nerve in my neck. I do a lot of keyboard work, and sometimes I don't get enough exercise for my own good. My roommate had a pinched nerve just like it that she had been treating for many months with chiropractic and conventional medicine. She eventually got some relief, but the pain would return always in a week or so.
"A friend recommended Dan, and he worked on me three times in two weeks. By the day after the third session I was no longer using pain-killers. I was amazed at the improvement, especially in contrast to my roommate.
"Dan also recommended strategies to prevent a repeat of the problem. I hardly ever feel anything from that nerve anymore, though I still do the same work.
"After Dan Schmidt had helped me so much with the pinched nerve I was suffering, I asked him to help me with an injury I'd had for 15 years. The problem was a persistent pain near my spine at my shoulder blade. I had to rest my back for hours during the day or else put up with the pain.
"He told me it would take a number of treatments before he could address the problem directly. My physical condition improved steadily and eventually came the day when Dan was able to treat it. I was amazed! And I still am.
"I know many people are seeing massage therapists or chiropractors month after month
for the same problem. I recommend Dan to everyone who is interested in resolving their musculo-skeletal pain so it won't come back."
