Results driven therapeutic massage

by PaBla

I had an eversion ankle sprain several years back that never healed correctly limiting my flexibility and causing chronic pain. I went through the usual route of seeing an orthopedist who recommended a physical therapist but was not getting the results I needed. I found Jeff's website from an internet search and decided to give it a try. I was a bit shocked how quickly I got results from his bodywork. In only a few visits, Jeff was able to increase the flexibility and relieve most of the pain. But more importantly, Jeff provided me the yoga stretches to maintain this improvement and reduce the number of treatments I would have needed. He was completely focused on immediate and thorough results to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Jeff and his services.

• Pros: Easy to work with, focused on results, ultimate professional

Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad that I could help. Medical based or Neuromuscular Massage Therapy has been put on the back burner for many years as a viable approach in the healing of soft tissue injuries. With that said, Thank you for the feedback and I hope more people will be willing to try Medical Massage Therapy or Neuromuscular Massage Therapy .

Amazing Results

by SizzleLene

I have suffered from neck and back pain for so many years I can't even remember when it all started - pain meds, chiropractors - finally had neck surgery back in Jan which relieved the issues I was having with my neck but, unfortunately (or fortunately!) back surgery isn't a necessity at this point. My surgeon offered a treatment of shots but I'd heard they were extremely painful and didn't help for long. A co-worker recommended Jeffrey to me and I am so glad he did! I have had only four treatments from Jeffrey and already the pain in my back is practically non-existent. The yoga stretches he has been teaching me is helping me to stretch and strengthen my muscles as well - wish I had been doing yoga for years instead of just starting late in life.

If you are looking for relief from pain, I highly recommend Jeffrey - he will definitely help you!

• Pros: Flexible w/his scheduling

Best Massage Therapy in Charlotte

by wfalls

I recently sought Jeffrey Widdman's help after being rear-ended in a car accident for a second time and suffering with constant neck and back pain. I was hoping for some sort of temporary pain relief, and much to my surprise, I have received permanent gains in pain relief and range of motion through Jeff's massage therapy and stretching techniques. Through the years, I have seen a number of physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and neurologists for chronic neck and back pain due to car accidents and a sports injury. Jeff Widdman is the best!!! I only wish I had discovered him sooner. His knowledge, skill, and individual care is by far the best I have received from any health care professional. I highly recommend him and his practice if you suffer from chronic pain of any kind.

• Pros: Knowledgeable, friendly, willing to work you in at the last minute
• Cons: None

Thank you for the kind words and it was a pleasure helping you and your husband out of the pain cycle. Neck and Back pain can be not only physically draining but also mentally. I'm pleased that you followed through with the stretching to help take control of your well being. Neuromuscular and Medical Massage Therapy for your chronic pain was definitely instrumental in your healing but your persistence in daily stretching was the key. Thank you for being a great student.

Significant relief from pain and stiffness in my hand after surgery

by nancybjones

After a fall last April, I underwent tendon repair surgery on my right middle finger. I was the fortunate patient of Dr. Baker at Orthocarolina. Hand therapists at Orthocarolina Hand Clinic helped me regain function and significant mobility. However, once released from therapy at 4 1/2 months post-op, I felt I needed additional help in working out the stiffness and flexibility in my preferred hand. My primary therapist encouraged me to find a hand massage therapist. In the past, I have found neuro-muscular massage helped with frozen shoulders as well as bursitis in my hip. So I began to look for someone who could help me with my hand. When I told the doctor and therapists about Jeff's work, they were supportive and glad to get his card for future reference.

Jeff's encouragement and expertise have reinspired me to continue my therapy exercises. He has added new stretches that have very helpful. During visits, Jeff has stretched the hand tendons and worked the muscles to help me make outstanding continued progress. I am able to bend my fingers at the joints with much greater ease and have much less muscle tension in my right forearm. Also, I have measurable improvement in my hand function in my daily life. Getting back the use of my hand has been a long and discouraging process at times, but I now have hope for the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Jeff and his practice...especially in working through recovery from surgery!

• Pros: Convenient location, easy parking, prompt appointments, positive/pleasant setting
• Cons: None

Therapeutic Massage Therapist (and Miracle Worker)

by kcamburn

In a lot of pain caused by what doctors said was a pinched nerve, I sought out the help of a chiropractor, physician and a neurologist. When these doctors did not resolve the problem, I decided to call Jeffrey Widmann at Advanced Therapeutics, whose card I was given by a co-worker. That was one of the best decisions I've made. The other doctors did absolutely nothing to address the problem except give me medication and set up more appts., but Jeffrey was able to relieve my pain.

Once I called and explained to Jeff the level of pain I was in, he worked me in within 24 hours and I could tell a difference the first day. By the second visit, the pain was drastically reduced and is now gone. Not only did he take the time to talk through what was going on, he continued to ask me how I felt and explained what was happening throughout the process. And he taught me stretching exercises to help avoid having more problems in the future.

To me, Jeff is a miracle worker. In actuality, I realize he is a true professional who is highly trained and very knowledgeable regarding his work. I highly recommend him and will continue to use his services in the future.

Thank you for the feedback.

Pinched , compressed or entrapted nerves are a soft tissue problem so, treating with Neuromuscular and Medical Massage can help. I'm glad that I could help.

Massage Therapists

by lindaarnold

I can't say enough the deep tissue massage and professional service I received from Jeffrey Widmann!

I called with an emergency, and he worked me in within several hours. I was having muscle spasms in my back that were so debilitating I could hardly stand up straight. Mr. Widmann gave me some tips over the phone to help ease the pain until my appointment time -- and even offered to make an onsite visit if I couldn't make it to his office.

It turns out I was able to make it there, and I experienced almost immediate relief when he went to work on the trigger points that were causing the problem. I've had therapeutic massages all over the country, and this is definitely among the BEST I've ever received. He even gave me some take-home exercises to keep the condition from recurring in the future.

I would strongly recommend Jeffrey Widmann. He's the real deal -- not just a "fluff-and-puff" practitioner!

• Pros: Easy access/parking; professional and knowledgeable service

Thank you for the feedback. The deep tissue massage was the trick and usually helps spasms unless its generated from a disk or nerve issue. So I'm glad we were able to resolve the issue in one session. Good luck with the stretches.

Great Therapeutic Massage

by pinksgreat

Mr Widmann worked me into his schedule recently during the evening after a long week of neck pain. It was very short notice for him, and I was so happy that he was willing to wait on me to get there. My pain level upon arriving was through the roof. After having an intense massage focused on my upper back and and neck area, I could actually turn my head again. It was like magic. I was in much better shape when I left than I was when I arrived. I look forward to being able to go back for some more work. He was very also very good about asking me questions about the pain and trying to relieve it.

• Pros: Relaxing Environment

A special thanks from a greatful daughter - for starting out their stay in a very special way.

off the chart

by rcalford

After suffering from chronic pain most of my adult life, I found Jeff. He was recommended to me from an employee of the "Y". Sceptical to say the least, I had tried physical therapy, chiropractic therapy, other massage therapy, botox injections, pain meds, surgery, cotisone injections, nerve blocks, prayer, accupuncture, etc.,nothing worked for very long.Jeff's knowledge, concern and excellent technique have given me more relief than all the other "stuff". My problems are varied, Jeff ask questions, talks to me ( if I want to talk) and looks for response from me, then addresses my problem"du jour".I now see Jeff on a regular basis, and expect to continue. He also believes in himself and practice what he preaches daily.
