Testimonials for Golden Hands:  

Before receiving weekly massage treatments from Arnie, I had a weekly massage with four generations of massage therapists over a 14 year period. They were all very good. But I've had the best results with Arnie. He is far and away the most dedicated, diligent, and helpful therapist I've ever had. I'd recommend him to anyone.
J. Adler, Boston, MA

"I have been going to Arnie for massages for over 16 years. It started out as a special, once-in-a-while experience. However, the results of a once-in-a-while session were not sustainable. I found that consistency improved my well being in several important ways: a decrease in headaches, an increased ability in handling stress, an increase in my body's ability to heal from sports injuries, and an increase in my ability to sleep. Therefore, I make every effort to attend a session at a minimum of once a month. The times I feel at my best are when I have more than one session a month. Thanks, Arnie, and your "golden hands" for improving my well being."

"Thought you'd like to know about the effects of the massage. This morning I got up and went to a morning yoga class and my shoulders felt like they belonged to someone else--someone 20 years younger and a lot more flexible than me!. It's funny, when I decided to get a massage I only expected it to feel good. I had no idea it was actually therapeutic."
B. Glick, South Boston, MA.

"I see Arnie for massage every week in the comfort of my own home. It's wonderful! He brings his table, sets up, and then I know that I am going to have an hour of relaxation and peace--with no phones ringing, no emails to check. Just Arnie kneading out the stress and knots in my neck and shoulders and back and smoothing out the tension of the week. I love the foot massage too. He ends each massage by rubbing his hands together and placing them over my eyes and face. His hands get extremely hot. It feels like I have a hot cloth on my face. It is the most soothing and wonderful way to end a massage."
E. McNeill, Boston, MA

"…I am a musician who suffered a traumatic injury in which my arm and shoulder were twisted, pulled, and jammed. The pain I had for one year was as if someone had locked my upper quarter into an iron cast that squashed my ribs and shoulder. In addition to the physical pain, I felt as if a gift I had been given at birth, and the craft I have developed my whole life, had been ripped from my body in an instant. For a year I had sought orthopedists, massage therapists and physical therapists within a thirty-mile radius of the Boston area to find relief. My experience of Arnie's massage is as follows: it is as if his sensitive hands coax the trauma, pain, and spasm from my muscles. Arnie's hands seem to have an innate sensitivity and intuitive understanding of what is needed in order to heal. It feels as if the trauma that froze my muscles releases through his hands. I noticed after just three sessions (actually it was apparent after the first), that his massage had released the pain and multiple spasms of this injury in a way I have not otherwise been able to find. Of course this affects my technique at the instrument and my ability to do my work. Equally, the healing I feel affects my posture, my ability to move, to sit in a chair, my comfort in my own body and mind, my ability to sleep, and my appreciation of life. My spirit is lifted. I am writing this testimonial because it is the least I could do to say thank you.

On-Site Chair Massage Testimonials:

"Arnie Katz is super! He has been to my office 4 times and the employees here love him. In fact, several now get double sessions - 30 minutes worth and two employees are now seeing him for full body massages outside of the office. Your employees will not be disappointed. He is professional, clean, brings music, etc. I highly recommend him. And, it's great to get the kinks out during a stressful work day."
E.H., Mass. Housing Investment Corp., Boston, MA

"We were lucky enough to have Arnie come to us via an on-site health clinic that we held in our Boston offices. We had such an overwhelming response from our employees, that we decided to sponsor a two-day on-site massage clinic specifically to bring Arnie back in. He is wonderful to work with and is very accommodating in working out a format and scheduling the chair massages. More importantly, his personality meshes well with our employees and even those 'first timers' for massage therapy felt comfortable and got the opportunity to relieve some Holiday stress. We hope to be able to make Arnie's visits a regular event at our company!"
