Testimonials
Dear Customer,
"Orthotics, night splints, medications, shots, physical therapy, and surgery did nothing to elevate my two years of pain from Plantar Fasciitis and numbness from Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. And then by chance, thankfully, I ran into Andrew at the St. Anthony's triathlon. He worked on my feet for 15 minutes and this was good enough to get me on my bike for my part of the relay. After my first full session with Andrew, I noticed a remarkable difference and had feeling back in my toe, which I had not had consistently for over a year. And things have only gotten better. I can now do something as simple as go for a walk or a long ride without felling miserable. I wish I would have met Drew prior to all the treatments and surgery."

Dear Customer,
"I was having pain in the front of my left calf and went to see my doctor; she said it was probably a pinched nerve. The next week I had an appointment at Lifesource Family Chiropractic with Dr Scott and when I told him about the pain he referred me to Andrew. I met with Andrew the following week at his office (in Lifesource) and after he examined my calf, he said it was because there was tightness in the tendons across my lower leg just above my ankle. After my therapy session he applied Kinesio tape to help support the muscles while it was healing. I am back to being able to run without pain.
Thanks Andrew! You’re the greatest!!!!."

Dear Andrew,
"Just wanted to send a short note and thank you for the great job you did taping up my shoulder this weekend at the St Anthony's Triathlon. The swim conditions were rougher than expected and I am not sure my shoulder would of held up without your help. Thanks Again."

Dear Athlete,
"Andrew Harden of Massage Care LLC, has helped me numerous times. I have a bad left shoulder, neck, back and right knee and have called upon Andrew on several occasions to work on these areas when they are acting up.
Most recently, I thought I had pulled my shoulder while doing sit ups during PT testing. I am a martial artist, and was getting ready to test for my 1st Degree Black Belt after 4 years in training. Passing of the PT test is a requirement to test for the Black Belt level. After several days of pain and restricted movement in the shoulder, I contacted Andrew for help. While he was working on my shoulder, he noted that it may be subluxated and strongly suggested I see a chiropractor to have it adjusted properly. Andrew also used Kinesio tape on my shoulder, which provided some measure of relief.
I saw the chiropractor who confirmed that the shoulder was subluxated and he adjusted it for me - the day of my final PT test. Due to Andrew’s taping of the shoulder and his advice to see the chiropractor I was able to participate in the PT test and pass it, qualifying for Black Belt testing that weekend.
Andrew worked on my shoulder again that week and re-taped it, along with applying the tape to my right knee. On that Saturday, I participated in the testing for my Black Belt, which was an 8 ½ hour test including forms, bag work, ground fighting, full contact sparring and board breaking. Andrew came to the testing to ensure that the tape was holding and that everything was going OK.
I passed the test and achieved my Black Belt ranking. The tape helped the shoulder injury tremendously, and provided an extra measure of security for me. If it had not been for Andrew’s care and his knowledge in discovering the subluxation, his knowledge of the use of the tape and recommending immediate chiropractic care, I would not have been able to test and may have permanently injured myself.
Andrew was the first person I called after arriving home after receiving my Black Belt. He truly cares about his clients, and strives to ensure they get the best care possible. I highly recommend anyone who may participate in sports of any kind take advantage of his services to keep you in top form."

Dear Athlete,
"Andrew is a lifesaver! After training 3 hard months for my Triathlon Event (St. Anthony's), 6 days before my Tri I was running outside and accidentally rolled my ankle. I couldn't believe it. Having never really been injured so close to an event before I wasn't sure what to do and emailed Andrew. He called me within an hour of me sending that email (which really impressed me) to give me instructions on how to take care of it and was even at my house the next day 'after hours' to tape it with Kiniseo tape to make sure it healed properly so I would be able to perform on Race Day. I never had reason to believe in it until now. I saw him the day before and right after my event and so glad I did. My swelling had gone down due to the immediate care and instructions from Andrew and I was able to perform pain free and recover a lot faster after my race as well. Contacting Andrew right after my injury was the best decision I could have made and would highly recommend Andrew's care and assistance to anyone. Thanks again Andrew!" Added 4/29/09

Dear Customer,
"My job requires many hours of lifting, bending, kneeling, standing, and driving. Not to mention the stress of any full-time job. I have been a client of Andrew’s Massage Care Mobile Service since 2005; the improvement I feel in my back, neck and hips is just remarkable! Andrew continues to take many classes and seminars throughout the year to update his knowledge and skills. He is always willing to try new techniques and products in order to achieve the best results for his clients. Andrew’s professionalism makes even the fist time clients feel comfortable. Due to Andrew’s flexible schedule, I have been able to keep my “flexibility” and perform my job much more comfortably. I look forward to many more years of doing the work I love, with Andrew’s assistance."

Dear Customer,
"Andrew is awesome! Working behind a computer for 8 or more hours a day can be stressful in itself, especially during busy times at our office. He is wonderful to work with and is very accomodating in scheduling chair massages at our office. Andrew is able to pinpoint areas that are in need of work and with his caring personality and thorough knowledge of body mechanics he is able to work out our kinks until the next office visit. We highly recommend him!!! And, it's great to get the kinks out during a stressful work day."

Dear Customer,
"After a recent auto accident, my muscles were really starting to hinder my progress with chiropractic care. You could look at me and see my neck muscles straining to hold my head upright. Muscle spasms were a daily occurrence for me and my muscles in my neck were rock hard (not in a good way). I had tried several other massage therapists. Although the experiences were pleasant, they did not seem to make a dent with my muscles. When I complained about this fact to my chiropractor, he recommended Andrew to me. Andrew has an analytical mind and a lot of knowledge that allows him to analyze where your trouble is coming from and he goes to work on that issue for you. He does very deep tissue work and stretches that will help relax your muscles. His care has made a difference in my life and I would be happy to recommend him to you. Thanks Andrew, for all you do."

Dear Customer,
"I hurt my back when I was in the 7th grade after a fall in P.E. and crushed several discs. I am 62 years old so that was a long time ago. I have had back trouble all my life and to make matters worse I fell in 2003 and broke my tail bone. I thought my life was doomed to be in constant pain and taking pain medication. Then I heard about Andrew from one of my sons. He has been working on my back since July 2006 and has been an answer to my prayers. After about 2 months of work I have been almost completely pain free. He is wonderful and I thank God for him everyday!"

Dear Andrew,
"I wanted to "Thank You" for the benefits of having a massage on a regular basis. After spending the last several years with constant lower back pain and migraine headaches, it is wonderful to finally find a natural source of relief. I am convinced that with regular massage I will experience continued improvement from pain and renewed energy to accomplish any task. I look forward to a long, beneficial life with your continuing massage therapy."

Dear Customer,
"When you think massage what comes to mind? Candles, soft music, dim lights; maybe if you are a traditional spa participant. When I think massage I think stretches, deep muscle rubs, and an instant relief or to sum it up in one word....Andrew! I was fortunate enough to experience a conventional massage and a sports massage by Andrew. Andrew is very flexible with hours and is very attentive to his clients needs. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to explaining the function of the muscle he is working on and also suggest reasons why it might be hurting or knotted. Andrew is extremely effective when it comes to muscle relief and will not leave a client until he/she is satisfied with his work. I am a firm believer in sports massage and have never felt so good. I'm not against the conventional massage at all, Andrew does a great job at both."

Dear Athlete,
"Our daughter, Christina, is thirteen years old and has been playing soccer since she was five. She plays for the Black Watch U-14 Renegades, a premier level competitive team. Several months ago she began complaining that her right knee was painful during and after physical activity. We took her to a sports medicine orthopedic and it was determined that her knee cap was not tracking properly, which caused her pain. Christina was prescribed physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around her knee. Unfortunately, her physical therapy was delayed by insurance submission errors, which jeopardized her ability to play in an invitation only soccer tournament against the top teams in Florida. Christina's team was already missing players due to injury, so all of the remaining players were needed.
After speaking with Andrew, he explained that there was a special taping method that he could do to help stabilize and align her knee cap for the weekend. Andrew came to our home on a Friday evening and expertly assessed her condition and needs. He used a technique called Kinesio Taping around her right knee, which helped to keep her knee cap straight while she ran. The blue and black tape generated considerable interest, but most importantly, Christina successfully played four games over two days with virtually no pain. Christina's speed and agility was noticeably improved. Thanks to Andrew, Christina and her team had a very successful weekend. We highly recommend Andrew to any athlete looking to improve performance and overcome pain."
