Increased my strength for a competition!

by sundin at Citysearch

I came in to get a "tune-up" before a weight-lifting/hand strength competition and had no acute injury that I was dealing with. Jeff listened to what my needs were and tailored the work he did on me to the areas we agreed made the most sense to work on.

The bodywork was great; it was amazing that Jeff could push on an area in my forearm and almost make me fall asleep instantly due to the deep relaxation it evoked. I felt great afterwards and slept very deeply.

At the competition my left hand was stronger than it has been since an upper back injury in 2007, it really surprised me! I set a new personal record in two events and felt focused and very strong.

I'll definitely return before any future competitions and at other times occasionally as my finances permit. About that-one thing I really appreciated was that Jeff had discounted plans posted but didn't do any hokey salesmanship or say anything remotely pushy-which makes me 10x more likely to return.

• Pros: Jeff listened well and made me feel at ease
• Cons: none

Informative

by Xhenis at Citysearch

My name is Jake Watson(using someone else's profile).

I was really glad that my wife and I found Jeff. She was suffering from some knee pain, and I've had on and off shoulder pain for a long time. Jeff helped us both figure out what was causing these problems and didn't just treat the symptoms. He educated us on stretches and exercises that would help us stay pain free. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

• Pros: Flexible schedule, Listens, Educates you to help avoid pain.

Relief for knee pain

by Laura Meyer Watson at Citysearch

I had been suffering from knee pain for over 6 months and not knowing the cause had no idea what to do about it. I recently moved to Charlotte and found Jeff through his website. Jeff's approach to eliminating pain through massage and trigger point therapy was exactly what I was looking for, and the fact that he is certified as both a personal trainer and yoga instructor was very appealing. Jeff has been patiently working with me to pinpoint the problem with my knees, and the stretches and exercises he's given me have really helped. I am happy to say that for the first time this last week I was able to sit down in a chair and walk down a flight of stairs pain free! I am grateful to have found Jeff and would recommend him to anyone looking for relief from pain.

• Pros: knowledgable, patient, professional

Great solution for pain

by tnaugh at Citysearch

I first started going to Jeff in 2002 for lower back pain. After a few sessions and his instructions regarding a lot of stretching, some adjustments in my workout I was able to completely eliminate my lower back problems. Deep tissue massage that he does is incredible!

• Pros: Amazing relief, also shows you how to avoid the pain again

tennis anyone

by veganbytheway at Citysearch

I stopped playing tennis for about 4months because of a nagging elbow pain. I went to Jeff to see if he could help. I had seen Jeff several years ago for a knee issue. He was very helpful then and now. He worked on my forearm muscles and showed me some stretches. The pain was gone and a week later I started back playing the sport I love.

• Pros: knows his stuff, works late, easy to get to location

finally some deep tissue

by workoutbug at Citysearch

I've been looking for a deep tissue massage and every place that I tried did the soft gentle slather on oil thing. I hate that. I wanted very deep bodywork so I feel like its doing something. I found Jeff in the yellow pages. He does very deep work like I like but with a twist. He's very into the proper mechanics of the body and working to increase full range of movement. We talked about yoga stretches that I could do to help with my movement issues. Hes great and I'll be back.

• Pros: listens, close to work, open weekends

myofascial release

by heyyou2010 at Citysearch

I was searching for some relief with my fibromyalgia and sought the services of Jeff Widmann. A friend of mine with MS had seen him and he was very helpful.

Jeff suggested myofascial release and worked on me for about an hour. The pain had diminished significantly. I know that there is no cure for my issue but Jeff is able to make my life alot better by decreasing any flare ups when they arise.

• Pros: available late hours and weekends

I called Jeff Widmann at the last minute and was able to get in 2hrs later. He was so nice to stay late to help me with a nasty headache. He worked on me for an hour and the pain was gone. I really enjoyed learning about some techniques that I could use to help my self. He's very helpful and a great listener.

Thanks

• Pros: flexible hours

chiropractic free

by hughu at Citysearch

I've been seeing a chiropractor 3x per week for a few months for my neck pain with no results just more discomfort. A friend suggested Jeff Widmann as someone that could help. I saw Jeff and we talked awhile about the limited range of movement and neck pain that i was experiencing. He worked on me for about an hour using triggerpoint Therapy and myofascial release techniques. After the session I had full range of movement in my neck with no pain. I see Jeff once a week for preventative maintenance. He's better than a chiropractor and addresses the muscles that cause the pain.

• Pros: safe and secure area

was tired of the pain killers

by whatthe48 at Citysearch

I've felt pain in the upper part of my back for several months . I work out frequently and was hopeful that the pain would just go away and guess what, it didn't. I decided to try an alternative approach with neuromuscular massage. Chiropractic just freaks me out and I hate the comatose feeling from meds.

Jeff was able to see me within a few days. He was able to get rid of most of the pain with the 1st session. He showed me some stretches that would assist me with the healing. I went in to see Jeff once per week for one month. The pain had totally gone away and it hasn't been back, thank God. Jeff suggested that if the pain even slightly comes back to come in as soon as possible but its been two months ,without pain. He did suggest a monthly maintenance plan but I havent had a chance to go back in.

• Pros: knows alot of different techniques for pain relief
