TESTIMONIALS

​

From the first moment you walk inside the waiting room, you feel calm and peaceful. Seth Acuna is professional and personable. He’s a good listener. As he works with you, he explains and shares exactly what muscles he is working on and how what he is doing will help aliviate the problem. My first visit was amazing. He did in one session what 5 physical therapies were unable to do. I’m so grateful for Seth Acuna.

I had the extreme pleasure of going to Acuna Healing and Touch and being blessed by the hands of Seth Acuna for two consecutive months after a tummy tuck and lipo procedure. I went 3 days a week (1 hr sessions) for the first 4-5 weeks, then went twice a week for the last 3 weeks. In my search for someone who had a specialty of lymphatic drainage massages, I found the combination of the cupping and hand massage method (that Seth used) to be more effective than 100% "hands on" lymphatic massages. I'd heard of the cupping method prior, but not experienced it before Seth. By cupping, it lifted and broke up the lymph nodes in a way that the hands alone could not do. I could actually hear them breaking up during my sessions. It felt very good to see results immediately and to see myself get better week by week. I am extremely please with how my tummy tuck turned out. I am so glad I went to Seth and feel like he played a major role in the outcome of how my tummy tuck results turned out long term. I am recommending him to anyone who has had any type of augmentative surgery. I feel indebted to him for his skills! He can help you get the results you are looking for!  Thank you Seth.

My friend told me about Seth when I was about 16 weeks post op from rotator cuff surgery. I was only able to lift my arm just barely to shoulder level. I felt like I was just stuck at that point and not able to progress any further. Seth begin working the soft tissue both with massage and cupping. I knew after the first visit this was going to be a good thing. Already it just felt less tight and more relaxed. I continued to see him almost weekly for 9 sessions total. Over that time I gradually continued to raise my arm closer towards my head. While I was continuing to do physical therapy this was just the extra that was needed to get me to the level of mobility that felt less restricted and less painful. Seth is very much a professional and extremely knowledgeable. He also explained a lot about what he was working to help you better understand how everything is connected. I knew that recovery from rotator cuff surgery was not going to be quick and easy so just having the mindset to be patient and allowing his work to help over time helped me to stay encouraged along this journey. I will continue to see Seth for my overall massage wellness, and I thank him for all he did to help me progress in this process and not have to go back into surgery.

"I was given a gift certificate to see Seth and it couldn't have come at a better time. I had a baby in March 2016, was diagnosed with arthritis in July 2016, then saw Seth in November 2016. I let him know of my diagnosis the first time he worked on me and less than 2 weeks later, all my pain and stiffness was gone! I have seen him once since then and couldn't be happier with his services".

“My first visit (was referred by a good friend) was very professional and very clinical in the fact that the sore muscles were found and worked out. I slept like a baby for the first time in months due to feeling great. I plan on returning several times a month. This I will do for myself.”

"I highly recommend Seth as a massage therapist. From my very first visit, his passion for his work shined through. I was impressed with his knowledge of the body and trigger points, and his variety of experiences. It is readily evident that he understands the stresses and demands on the body and knows which techniques to employ to bring relief. As an athlete, I appreciate the power of massage as both preventative maintenance as well as after care. I feel very welcome and cared for in his office".

"Seth has been my massage therapist for several years, and there is no one I trust more to care for my specific needs as a marathon runner and for my general health. I make sure to see him several days before each marathon in order to get my muscles ready. (I didn't see him before one marathon, and I developed IT band issues towards the end of the race. I don't miss a massage now!)  I often have specific issues that arise from running, and Seth has known how to handle them all. Most recently, I pulled a calf muscle and a visit to Seth made a world of difference in my recovery.  Seth is able to use a variety of techniques and approaches, ensuring that I'm getting exactly the treatment I need. I have been to other therapists in the past, and the care I get from Seth is on a completely different level; I trust him completely to care for my health concerns, both with running and everyday issues".

Jenny S

 

"I was fortunate to find Seth Acuna when I was suffering with pain and restricted mobility from a rotator cuff injury. I had already been seen by 3 different physical therapists with minimal results. Seth's knowledge and therapeutic massage skills ended my pain, gave me full range of motion, and was the reason I was able to avoid surgery. More recently, I sought Seth's help to address a pectoral tear and alleviate the associated pain I was experiencing. He reduced my healing process to 1/3 of what was expected. I never hesitate to recommend Seth to family and friends. He's a genuine and caring professional with a skilled healing touch".

"I began going to Seth when my chiropractor suggested a massage therapist would be the best solution to my muscle pain. Seth is very careful to start easy and adjust the massage to the right pressure. He also checks with me during and at the next massage to make sure everything went well and what might need to be adjusted. Whether I want to talk or be quiet during the massage is totally up me. Anytime I have areas that hurt more, I tell him. I cannot figure out how he makes it work, but when the massage is over, everything that hurt has eased or disappeared. The more often I go on a regular basis the quicker and longer the relief seems to last.  Having a regular message also keeps new issues from developing. Seth is very good to give me literature to read, email me items, or show me how you can relieve areas of pain if they reoccur before the next massage. He is very kind, caring, giving, positive, and wants to do his best to make sure I am comfortable and receive the feedback I need to improve my quality of life. I believe his knowledge of acupressure points and use of cupping set him apart from any of the other massage therapists I have gone to previously".

"I am a fifty eight year old woman who has been suffering severe leg pain from my hip to lower calf since September.  I have seen my internist and been put on a regimine of ice and anti-inflammatory meds.  When this did not help I saw an orthopedist who recommended an MRI and probable steroid injections into my spine for relief. I had a two week wait for the MRI due to the holidays and was in so much pain I took a friend's recommendation to see Seth for possible relief. I had one hour table session with Seth and that night slept pain free for the first time since September. I would say he gave me 85% relief from that one session.  I have seen him one time since and have had no more pain. Needless to say I cancelled the MRI. Another benefit from the massage is the ability to turn my neck so much further than I could before. I did not even realize my neck was stiff until I felt the relief when it wasn't. Seeing Seth regularly will become part of my schedule like going to the dentist. A necessary part of keeping myself healthy".

"Over the past ten years I have had a shoulder issue with restricted range of motion and pain. I couldn’t even raise my right arm to wash my back during a shower. After an MRI about 5 years ago I was diagnosed by my orthopedic doctor that I would likely need rotator cuff surgery in the future. Since then I had tried various exercises with almost no improvement. A year ago when my shoulder started getting worse with pain radiating down my arm, especially at night, I decided to take my wife’s advice and give Seth Acuna a try. At first I considered the treatment just “feel good massages” which is what I thought all massages were. Then I started to feel improvements after Seth’s deep massages along with his work on certain trigger points. First the aches at night went away. Next the pain left when I did certain motions. Now I believe that I do not need surgery since I pass all the range of motion tests for my rotator cuff. For a few weeks I had a half hour massage once and occasionally twice a week. Now I am down to one every four to six weeks for maintenance. Give Seth a try. He may be exactly what you need".

"After several massage session with Seth Acuna, I have had a 70% reduction in long standing pain from sciatica. This has meant more comfort during the day and better sleep at night".

Dr. Chic Shaver

 

"Two weeks after my Rotator Cuff surgery I began massage therapy with Seth. At first we started with 15 min. chair massage and worked up to 30 min. theraputic massage table. Because of Seth's knowledge, talent, persistence and gentle touch; my shoulder is well on its way back to full motion. I am very pleased with the results and hightly recommend Seth".

Katie Mc

 

"I have been receiving massage therapy treatments with Seth Acuña since 2006. I feel that I have more flexibility, especially in my legs since I fell on the ice in December of 2008. I have been receiving regular leg massage therapy every two weeks on the average. I recommend this type of therapy to anyone with leg pain or arthritis. It will give more flexibility and relief to anyone suffering from pain in any area".

Daryl W. M

 

"I have utilized the Therapeutic Massage services of Seth Acuna, Licensed Massage Therapist since 2007. My experience with Seth has been deep tissue massage, trigger point and cupping massage techniques. I am ecstatic to have found a therapeutic massage therapist as knowledgeable and professional as Seth. Seth has treated a sciatic nerve problem which I developed approximately 1 year ago. I am a senior citizen and it is imperative that I remain active and flexible. Through massage therapy with Seth, I have been able to enjoy life and remain active. I highly recommend Seth for massage therapy. He is extremely knowledgeable about the muscular and skeletal makeup of the body; and is professional and sensitive to each person’s needs".

"I started with Seth when he first came to Indian Creek Natural Medicine in July 2007. I believe he has helped to get me well. I have had 30 minute massages once a week for most of that time. I can not tell you how valuable he has been to me in my well being. I recommend him highly".

Patsy P

 

"Being a family medicine resident physician means working long hours and much time on your feet. I have had a lot of low back pain and was looking for relief. I was surprised to find out that I would require several weeks of massage therapy in order to ensure maximum benefit. However, I noticed a huge difference after my first session and felt great and pain-free for many days following. I was so impressed by the professionalism and talent of Seth Acuna; that I traveled over 3 hours one way to receive the remaining treatments I needed for my back pain. I would travel even farther now that I know how much better I feel and I believe that the talent this massage therapist has is truly a gift from God".

"As a chiropractor, Seth has been invaluable for my practice. I regularly refer patients to him and the response is always the same, "I have never had such a great massage!" My wife, Sharon, and I get regular massages from Seth.  Because of his professionalism and therapeutic ability, I have utmost confidence in him".

"I discovered the benefits of Massage/Reflexology after foot surgery to remove a painful bunion on my right foot and correct a hammertoe on the same foot. I visited with Seth Acuna, a massage therapist.

 

My foot was swollen and very tender and I could barely walk on it. I was apprehensive about having massage therapy on the sore foot but I knew I needed help. The Reflexology treatment was for 30 minutes and included massage and applying pressure to areas of the foot and leg that were sore. After the first session I could feel the increased circulation in my sore foot, as well as a release of stress in my other foot and leg which I relied on for most of my support in walking. As the sessions progressed the swelling decreased and I began to get flexibility back in my toes. Seth also is very diligent about asking before each treatment if I have new complaints since my last visit. I had tried a new shoe and did experience some strain, so Seth was able to apply pressure to the points of strain and completely eliminate the discomfort. And yes, there is some discomfort as pressure is applied to painful areas, but I'm happy to put up with a tiny bit of discomfort for the reward of eliminating the problem. After 30 minutes of the reflexology/massage therapy, the whole body feels relaxed.

 

I have also had the one hour massage session for the entire body. It has helped with my overall well being in handling the stress of recuperation and works well in combination  with my chiropractic adjustments".

"After more than nine years of leg and foot pain and spending a lot of money for a number of different foot supports, I have gotten more pain relief in my legs and feet in just three massage treatments from Seth than from any other source".

"Seth is an extremely talented and knowledgeable massage therapist. I highly recommend him. He is very professional. He is working magic on my leg and foot pain and improving my circulation".

Kathy G

 

"Seth is very confident and tuned in to the needs of the person that he works on. His great awareness of the body and deep understandings helps to promote healing. He has a wonderful, gentle yet firm touch and utilizes excellent deep-pressure techniques. Seth is the most grounded massage therapist I have worked with. Because Seth is professional, respectful, attentive and great massage therapist, I refer my clients to him regularly. I can finally stop hunting around for a massage therapist I trust!"
