More than a massage! Functional Muscle Manipulation is an experience that feels like progress towards actual healing and not just a temporary band aid. I left feeling like a new person as well as understanding my nervous system and the role I can plan in my own relief. Highly recommend for any person interested in actual recovery and care from true professionals.

If you want to heal, this is the place to come. I wish I lived in the area. This is a profoundly good massage. Alexis is so wonderful, makes you feel perfectly relaxed and comfortable, and then so intuitive with what the body is feeling and so skilled at the technique. Truly top quality. Definitely do the foot reflexology add on, it is beyond heavenly and the perfect finish, you will leave floating on a cloud!

I don’t usually write reviews, but I’ve had such a good experience that I wanted to share. I’ve been seeing Alexis for a while now, and it’s made a real difference.
She takes the time to listen to what’s going on and adjust each session based on what I need that day, which I really appreciate. It never feels like a “one size fits all” massage.
I’ve had a lot of tension and some ongoing pain, and I’ve definitely noticed improvement since coming here. On top of that, she is so easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable right away.
If you’re looking for someone who really knows what they’re doing and actually helps you feel better, I’d definitely recommend them.

Amazing and unique massage experience. George’s deep tissue work was effective without being painful, and his breathwork techniques made a big difference. I’ve had no lower back pain since. Very knowledgeable about the nervous system.

He even incorporated guided visualization that transported me to a beach in Greece and relaxed me even more. The reflexology on my feet was outstanding. Highly recommend!

After months of horrible tension headaches, I went to Deeper Layers for treatment with George. I had excellent results immediately. It is affordable and the technique really works. I highly recommend Deeper Layers and George, it has greatly improved the quality of my life.

I began working with Alexis after a debilitating, multi-day tension headache experience. Within 30 minutes, my headache was no longer and I became a believer that through Alexis' healing and intentional hands and guided breathwork, massage therapy is not just for spas and relaxing vacations; it can also heal. Alexis is tremendously informed and has kindly educated me on my own physical stressors and body in a way no other practitioner has. She is such a pleasant and deep person and a joy to work with on a technique new to me (and sometimes hard), but one that has drastically improved my quality of life in the half a year I have been seeing her. Alexis has improved my ability to walk without pain by working on my lower back and sciatic nerve pain. I am so grateful to have found Alexis and would absolutely recommend her work to anyone for healing AND relaxing massages, and everything in between.

I’ve been meaning to write a review for quite some time about my experience with this establishment.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Alexis. I don’t say this lightly. This is one of the only approaches that’s actually made a real difference in my body.

This isn’t a typical massage. She combines deep, targeted muscle work with guided breathwork, helping you breathe directly into the areas holding tension (and more importantly trauma), while she works through them. It’s incredibly specific, and it works.

Instead of the temporary relief I’ve been used to my entire life, she gets to the root with patience and compassion. I’ve had chronic pain that nothing else truly touched, and this is the first time I’ve felt a lasting shift.

Alexis is intentional, knowledgeable, and creates a space where you actually feel taken care of. I am forever grateful I was introduced to not only this practice, but her. It might feel difficult at first, but if your body feels stuck and nothing else has worked, I highly suggest taking the time and energy to work with her.

I went to Alexis after getting a neck injury from working out and was looking for something that would get more to the root of the issue rather than just treating the surface. I ended up trying the Functional Muscle Manipulation technique she offers, which felt more aligned with that approach. I felt significant gradual relief in my neck and also other parts of my body that really benefited from the way it helped release some deep tension I was holding in certain muscles. The technique also helped bring me back in touch with my breathing and how connected it is to the tension I was holding in my whole body. Thank you Alexis for your caring manner and truly supportive method. I look forward to recommending it to many many others! Marilyne

Had a great introductory experience with Alexis. Very clear about process and intuitive about where tension is. Would recommend!

Alexis and George are amazing. Truly masters of this technique and so much more.

Alexis is very perceptive and really wants to help her clients get over chronic pain and tension. The combination of massage with breath work has been very helpful to me.

Alexis does massage for our entire office monthly and she is terrific! Well worth it!! She makes everyone feel comfortable with a super friendly and calm demeanor and she is a great communicator. Everyone has different issues and she adapts to soft or hard massage as needed. Really works out those computer work knots that creep in when working at a desk! Can’t recommend more highly!!

This was my first experience with this form of massage/breathwork/body-work. Alexis was able to quickly diagnose the pain in my neck I was having, and with a 55min session, I went from not being able to tilt my head up to drink from a glass of water, to being back to totally normal!

Grateful there are practitioners intentionally educating their patients on the mind-body connection and the real-world physiological implications of not tending to nervous-system-hygiene.

Alexis was phenomenal! I went desperate and completely destroyed. By the end of my session not only did I feel a lot better but had such a better understanding of how stress contributed to my current situation.

I’ve had massages all over the world and as a somatic practitioner & breathwork facilitator, I always leave feeling like my body wasn’t understood— Alexis was absolutely breathtaking! She worked with my nervous system (something no other massage therapist has done) and intuitively understood where I was holding so much (my whole life). I feel like she released so many remnants that I needed to let go of! That wasn’t just a massage, it was a healing, true healing, session. I’m beyond grateful for that experience and not only will I be back, but I’ll be sharing this experience with my clients.

I knew from the moment I did the intake form that this was not going to be a regular massage. It wasn't. It was a healing session. I wasn't focused too much on one particular area of pain when I made the appt., but I felt the tightness/weight on me from some highly stressful life events in the week leading up to me suddenly saying to myself "I need a massage!" I felt like my body was going to crack in half from stress/a general feeling of stiffness/tension. It was the only thing I could think of that might help immediately. I never get massages. I don't consider them comfortable nor pleasant as they have always hurt too much. This one did not. And when I did feel any pain George was aware and explained the breathing technique where it melted or we moved away from that spot or worked around it. After any "healing" session - whether mental or physical - I usually won't plan anything after to give myself time to integrate. I did the same with this & I'm glad I did because I slept/rested for the rest of the day after my session and til noon the next! It was the best night's sleep I'd had in a couple of weeks. His interest & study around the mind-body-spirit connection is also wonderful. And he has a great sense of humor. Totally worth it!!

I went this morning expecting just a normal massage, but it turned out to be an amazing therapeutic session. I even got some insights into the root of my issue after just one visit. I definitely plan to go back because I trust his work and it really helped a lot

Simply exceptional. A true leader in his field, with a deep understanding of anatomy and its connection to the mind and soul. His approach to healing is both innovative and profoundly effective. I left feeling amazing and with valuable insights I could continue to apply on my own.

i just saw george today to help me with my chronic neck & back pain. george's philosophy and functional muscle manipulation technique is exactly what i have been looking for at this stage with my chronic pain. having gotten a lot of bodywork done throughout my life, i have come to understand that traditional massages only provide temporary relief and do not get at the root cause of the pain.

my session with george required me to be an equally active and present part of the massage. the massage felt like a collaboration, and required me to actively focus on breathing and releasing in order for him to go deeper as well. he emphasized the importance of unlearning the "armor" that our nervous systems activate in order to protect ourselves. in this way, my work with him felt aligned with my pain journey which is currently focused on regulating my nervous system in order to physically heal.

i am eager to see how this work will metabolize in my body after a few more sessions! thank you george.

Alexis does excellent work! She’s professional, attentive, and always leaves me feeling better.

Alexis is an incredible massage therapist. She is a true healer through the methodology she uses. She healed my back from chronic pain I had been experiencing for quite some time. I can’t recommend this experience enough, I have also seen many many therapists and this was the first time I felt truly healed after a few different sessions! Thank you so much!

I had a great massage with Alexis.
She adresses the cause of the problem.
More then massage, it's bodywork.
Excellent.

Not your traditional physical massage. I'm hoping a few more sessions here will help me completely eradicate my chronic lower back and neck/shoulder pain, especially as I commit to my fitness journey and want to learn how to help my muscles with more efficient body recovery.

I booked a couple's massage for my anniversary weekend. I saw that the company had 5-stars on both Google and Yelp and thought "oh yeah, this is gonna' be good." This experience was WAY BETTER THAN GOOD! The two professionals were knowledgeable and provided great guidance to what they were doing with our bodies. George released this pain in my neck and shoulders that I've been experiencing for MONTHS in our 55-minute session. 2 days later, I'm still feeling amazing.. and my partner and I both have been sleeping SO GREAT. Also, I thought George was hilarious. A bit quirky but hilarious. 10/10, I will absolutely be returning for this service.

During my holiday I was suffering from severe neck cramps. Georges took the time to treat the pain and provided me with tips and tools to cope with future events. Great person, great talk so a visit well spent.

Alexis allowed me to play the music of my choice during the massage which was so special. Two days later, my nervous system feels much more regulated. I'm so thankful for the work that Alexis did and I will definitely be back.

From my first experience through my fourth (thus far), each session has been some of the best moments of self-care I could ever hope for. It's not just a massage. It's having your muscles treated better than you could possibly do yourself. It's not just being massaged, it's being in a space of the utmost relaxation while having the space to feel the gratitude for having these sessions of selfish indulgence.

Without fail, I am borderline/experiencing tears of joy from each session!

In summary, I am so very grateful for Alexis and cannot recommend her enough.

Alexis was absolutely amazing! I was in LA for 4 months performing in a physically demanding show and she went above and beyond to help me work through my existing injuries. I always felt like our sessions were productive, restorative, and helpful. 10/10 definitely go see her!

Alexis is an angel! My very first visit she made me feel so at ease while she guided me through the breathwork. At one point we hit significant spot of tension that was ready to be released. My body began to shake and tremble, all of these feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety came up. Alexis helped to soothe my mind and body back to feeling safe and comfortable. I can imagine the things I released that day were from many years of “survival mode”. I left feeling so much lighter and centered.

I’m so grateful to Alexis and her magic hands - she’s truly gifted.

Alexis has been giving me massages consistently for a year now and my body has never felt better. She’s incredibly talented, punctual, professional, etc. Alexis comes to my house which makes things convenient. Highly recommend Alexis !

Alexis is amazing!! She is very specific to her treatments and can really heal some long lasting chronic MSK issues!

Superb technique. I've been a massage therapist for 23 years, so I like to think I know what I'm talking about and Alexis was excellent.

Probably the best massage I have ever had. My stress headaches headaches have improved so much in only 3 sessions. Can’t recommend George enough - am so happy I found this place, absolute game changer.

Just finished my first session with George and it was amazing! I loved the education and helpful tips he share and I felt immediate relief and looseness after. Looking forward to my next session.

Just had my first time appointment with George, who was incredible. I’ve gone to countless PTs, other massage therapists who have never addressed the nervous system & educated the way he has. I was only able to go for one visit but would definitely return!

I’ve been working with Alexis for nearly two years. She’s fantastic. Excellent technique, firmness, and attention to detail - she’s the only therapist I’ve seen since we started working together. Whether sports massage, deep tissue and release, or relaxation, Alexis is the best.

AWESOME, so knowledgeable and relaxing. Alexis is amazing.

George is a great guy, extremely knowledgeable and just overall wonderful experience/massage

George was fantastic. He has thought deeply about his process and his approach is thorough, holistic and absolutely effective. Strongly recommend!!

Found this very randomly and really loved the massage. My back already feels better. George is great!

After dealing with shoulder pain for years from a chiro, I finally found some relief while working with Alexis! Her approach is so different than other massage therapists who just overly dig into a painful area. Alexis focuses on breathing and allowing your muscles to “let go.” She also is such a lovely person who really cares about her clients!! Couldn’t recommend her enough.

Exceptional attention to detail. Not only physical but emotional release too. George also talked me through the proper breathing technique to accompany the treatment. It was like therapy for me. Couldn’t recommend enough.

amazing. both George and his technique.

George is incredibly kind and helpful. His technique combining massage and breathing is so healing for the nervous system, physical body and stress. 10/10 would recommend to anyone dealing with tension and pain that needs help regulating their body.

George's technique is a wholistic approach to letting the body heal itself with the support of breathing and muscle release manipulation. Happy to have found him!

Wow I’ve never felt such a clear shift in my body and energy from any other therapy(and I’ve tried many). George is truly an intuitive healer and helped me to connect to my body after being disassociated for so long causing pain and then more disassociation to ignore it.. an endless cycle it seemed. George created so much space in my body just from the first session and also empowered me to know I can reconnect and override my body’s trauma response of defense and armouring teaching it to feel safe again. Thank you so much!

Alexis is a queen! I hurt my back earlier this year and I tried everything from chiropractors to acupuncture but this functional muscle manipulation was really the first relief I got. It really helped me progress my injury and I was able to get back to working out and running regularly with minimal to no pain. From my experience, it’s almost like breath work meets a deep tissue massage. Alexis is awesome and she cares! She even reached out to me periodically to check in with me. She was recommended to me from a friend and I will absolutely continue to recommend her to anyone in need of relief!

Wow. I just had my first appointment with George. I've been struggling with chronic neck pain that shoots down my shoulders and back. Not only was this arguably the best massage I've ever had (and I've had many), it also felt like physical and emotional therapy. George is very intuitive, knowledgeable, and communicative. He clearly cares about what he does and the affect the treatment has on his clients. Couldn't recommend him enough!

I had a lovely experience, so much so that I booked every day I was I town. After some research I landed on this clinic, am I glad that I did. I’m a huge believer in something especially as specific as this, that energy matters. I was presented with the booking screen or George or Alexis. I froze and trusted my gut. Alexis is who I ended up choosing. The massages helped me so much for outlets and long term SERIOUS needs. But Alexis wasn’t just anyone, and it wouldn’t have worked if it wasn’t for her specifically. She’s one of the most incredible human beings I’ve ever met, that energy is something that no strategy can do: to say I recommend this place is a total understatement.

WOW! I have suffered from migraines for the past 10 plus years. I've tried almost everything and nothing has worked as well for me as this massage technique applied by Alexis. I went for two weeks without a migraine after a treatment, which hasn't happened to me in years. I've already texted her info to most of my headache-prone friends. I can't believe I've found this , and just when I am moving! Alexis is also very warm, professional, efficient, and has wonderful energy. Highly, highly, highly recommend :)

Best sports massage in LA! Alexis did such an amazing job helping me release tension. I will definitely be coming back.

Chronic neck and nerve pain solved for the first time after 5 years of treatment. Best massage in Hollywood. Try before drugs and surgeries !!

My husband did 2 back to back sessions, 2 days in a row, with George to alleviate lower back pain. Not just a massage but body THERAPY! We randomly found this place here on Google and they were extremely responsive and took him with only 5 hours notice. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

I had the most incredible experience with Alexis. This was more than just a massage; it was a truly healing experience. Alexis has a remarkable ability to release years of trauma held in my body. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease and cared for. Alexis's intuitive touch and attention to detail made me feel like a new person. I can't wait to go back weekly and continue this transformative journey. Highly recommend!

I came to see George during an insanely stressful time in my life. I’m very excited to continue the breath and body work. Also eager to reset my nervous system so that I’m no longer walking around as a human knot.

Alexis is an amazing therapist!!!! She has amazing energy too!! I think these are the two most important qualities in a massuase! When they come into your home and there energy is chill, you feel like you’re already getting a massage! I saved her in my phone as Alexis Savior because she is the best! Highly recommend! She also does a specialty massage which I call trauma therapy! Helps unblock all those knots and tightness that we hold from the past!!

I highly recommend DeeperLayers. After 9+ months of back pain, seeing George regularly for only few days has made a huge difference in my symptoms and my general outlook. George is a highly skilled and empathetic provider who considers you holistically from a place of deep kindness and knowledge. Thank you so much to George!!

Simple, minimalist, well-lit, relaxing music. No bells or whistles, but one is there for the treatment not the parlour design!

Alexis did a great job and the massage has greatly reduced my back spasm pain.

Alexis has such beautiful, nurturing and warm energy - a true hearted soul! This is unlike any massage I’ve gotten. She pays such close attention to details and strokes according to the unique map of your body. I walked out feeling so renewed, thank you again!!

Going to Alexis was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I had a crick in my neck and then woke up the next day not being able to move. My fiancé literally had to pull me out of bed because it was so painful to move. I was able to make a same day appointment with Alexis and she was so kind and compassionate. I instantly felt comfortable around her like we were lifelong friends. She talked me through the whole session- indicating when to take a deep breath and when to release. I booked a session with her the next day, and after seeing her twice I feel so much better. I have mobility in my neck again and can get out of bed without sharp, shooting pain. Alexis was so knowledgeable and knew exactly what she was doing. I will definitely be going back for maintenance when needed. If you need a massage therapist, Alexis is the person to see!

Highly recommend!

Excellent massage therapy. Alexis has a unique approach focused on deep breathing and has a very calming presence.

I am a patient who had a lumbar disc surgery five years ago. Three months ago, I injured my back again because of work. I couldn't sleep, couldn't walk upright, and even wanted to go to the emergency room. But because I am an international student, the medical expenses are very expensive, so I found Dr. Georgios of Deeper Layer on the Internet. He helped me adjust my breathing rhythm and relax my key muscles. The effect is very obvious. After the first treatment, I was able to fall asleep. After 1 month of weekly treatment, I am now healed. I went to Yosemite last week and climbed for 2 hours without any problem. I sincerely thank Dr. Georgios for his help and treatment.

Highly recommend!
I got work done from Alexis today after some real soreness after hiking, and wow, after my massage I felt more stable in my low back and free in my upper back. I love how her massage techniques integrate breathing techniques to help the nervous system calm down and affect greater release than just massage alone can do.
Alexis is very friendly, welcoming, skilled, professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and intuitive. It's a massage I will never forget. THANK YOU!

The benefits of Functional Muscle Manipulation therapy have been transformative, and George embodies the pinnacle of expertise in this field. His mastery of the Functional Muscle Manipulation technique has been instrumental in addressing the complexities of my condition with precision and effectiveness.

With each session, he employs targeted maneuvers to restore balance and functionality to my muscles, offering relief from the persistent discomfort associated with scoliosis.
His adept manipulation of soft tissue and joint mobility techniques has significantly enhanced my range of motion, allowing me to optimize my training efforts while mitigating the effects of my spinal curvature.

Beyond his technical proficiency, George fosters an environment of trust and collaboration, where my concerns are heard and my individual needs are prioritized. His holistic approach to wellness emphasizes not only physical healing but also emotional and mental well-being, leaving me feeling rejuvenated and empowered after each session.

Thanks to George’s dedication to Functional Muscle Manipulation, I have experienced a noticeable improvement in my overall comfort and functionality. I wholeheartedly endorse George to anyone seeking a comprehensive solution for muscular and skeletal health, particularly individuals navigating conditions like scoliosis. His expertise in Functional Muscle Manipulation sets them apart as a leader in the field of therapeutic bodywork.
I’ve used the help of ChatGpt for this lol

Great experience with Alexis. Still feeling relaxed from my treatment yesterday.

Came in with stiff neck & shoulders. After Massage, I felt so good I could spin my head 360°

Great experience: our massages were deep but focused on releasing tension through breathwork which worked really well and got rid of my husband’s back pain all together whilst making mine a lot more tolerable in a short time. Breath work and a correct connection with your body is a skill that’s useful for life and I feel we really learnt something through these sessions. Would 100% recommend.

George is simply amazing. Magic is the word that comes to mind. He is highly knowledgeable and addresses the issue quick and you can almost instantly feel the relief and enjoy the results. I had two chiropractors, one Accupuncture therapist visiting me at home while I couldn’t move and they all only made me worse and I was so lucky to find George who not only made it go away but also much to everyone’s surprise including myself got me on high heels dancing the night away! Of course against his wise advice but I did it and it worked. I would highly recommend to try George and experience for yourself.

George is phenomenal. Focused on healing and really teaching you how to manage and resolve your pain. He’s also just a great human. Highly recommend

My massage with Alexis was incredible. She does a special technique that includes breath work that really gets you out of your head and into your body. I work on my feet all day and I had no idea how much back tension I was holding onto until her work really helped unwind all the stress I was carrying. I felt relaxed for several days afterward. I highly recommend her!

Not an ordinary massage. This massage goes deeper and George will find the source of your tension and help you work on it. The point of his massages is to make it so you don’t have to come back repeatedly. The sessions last and his approach is unique and highly effective. I would recommend not to miss a chance to see him!

Absolutely incredible, and I wish I didn't;t have to move out of town right after I came here as this was the only massage I've ever gotten that had lasting effects. Immediately afterwards I felt better than I had in years. You will not be disappointed if you come here

George is phenomenal!!! His approach is driven by mindfulness and wellness. He is upfront about the fact that he works with his clients to achieve a level of health and education that you can carry with you so as not to have to continue with consistent/frequent sessions. I appreciate what he has done for me in the limited sessions we have had and look forward to reaching a point of wellbeing which will allow me to move forward without the necessity of regular appointments. I highly recommend George!!!!!

George is the absolute best in his field. I’ve been to multiple places and he knows exactly what he is doing. I won’t go anywhere else now. As a medical professional myself, I highly recommend him! A++!

Absolutely experienced professional and REAL Deep Therapeutic massage I ever had

George is fantastic. He addresses the immediate problem & helps you to understand long term care. Deep breathing is part of his magic. He is often available on very short notice. Thank you George

I booked this massage expecting a regular but professional massage. I was delightfully surprised. The title is very accurate. I felt that the source of my problems was dealt with and not just a symptom. Three days out from my treatment my neck and back feel open and relaxed

George has a different (educated) take on body work, therefore this isn't your typical massage....he goes beyond to get at the root of the presenting issue and assists you in developing the mind / body connection to help your body heal on a deeper level. I've had long-standing pain in my lower back and legs and he has been able to provide relief that wasn't achieved from other modalities (Chiro, PT, massage, dry needling, stretching, etc.). He's very knowledgeable and interesting to talk to, earnest and committed to his work. Easy to book appts. on the website -- definitely give him a try!

I saw George on extremely short-notice (morning of) when I was visiting my family back in Minnesota over the holidays. George taught me a ton about breathing, tension, and why my back might be in such pain. The next day my back pain was manageable and a few days after that I was fairly pain free. George even offered to see me on Christmas day because he was quite concerned about the discomfort I was in.

Fast forward two weeks, I received a note from George simply asking how I was doing. He's incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and actually cares about his clients getting better! Would highly recommend!

George is great. He incorporates important breathing with his deep tissue work. His approach is different because he wants to cure, not just keep you coming back perpetually. I walked out feeling like jello, tension free, I’m sending the whole family to George. He’s that good!

I like the technique that George uses. I have had other deep tissue massages, and never before have I been taught so much about connecting to my body. The effect of the breathing exercise George taught me, and participating in letting go of the muscle contractions I have, has been so helpful. I came to George with a specific goal in mind and he helped me achieve it. I recommended him highly.

This was a great massage experience. George explains what he is doing and why, and helps you understand the cause of your pain to begin with. It also feels great, of course. If you're interested in fixing your pain long term, instead of just managing it, this is for you.

After my first session, I feel a change that gives me hope of finally finding some real relief from the constant pain I have had for years now. George seems to have found a unique way of helping the body let go of what's been holding it back from working correctly and causing pain.

You have to have an open mind- If you do acupuncture or meditate this is for you. Deep breathing to let your muscles relax and give way as you're being massaged. Encourages continued deep breathing as needed after the treatment to prevent "clenching/tightening" as we react to stress. Encourages being aware/present of our muscles. I bought 2 groupon sessions and am going back.😊

Very unique and pleasant experience. This practice is like a diamond in the rough.

This is truly a unique experience and very valuable. It is 2 for the price of 1; psychotherapy and massage. George understands functional medicine which is the way modern medicine is moving, by getting to the root of our physical problems. If you are willing to open your mind, what George offers in an incredible gift that can't be found easily.

I had an excellent massage from George. His is not your 'feel good' massage. He works your muscles with pressure and firmness. I appreciated hearing his philosophy and understand that I need to go a good deal of work on my breathing. If I could, I would see him twice a month. I am much less stiff that I was.

Great experience. Very knowledgeable man

I love getting massages here.

Most effective massages I have had in my life thus far. I had lost flexibility in my right shoulder, after 3 massages I have about 85% of my flexibility back. I am now thinking of trying other areas on my body as well. George is a very informative person which I appreciate.

George is an exceptional massage therapist, and I have found working with him to be truly beneficial. His technique is superb, and his understanding of bodywork is profound. His approach allows for a comfortable but extremely deep pressure, and affects longtime held tensions in muscle, nervous system, and breath. I look forward to each session because actual progress is being made; its not the same massage over again without lasting change.

George is very knowledgeable and helped me address some chronic pain. This is a unique experience incorporating breathing and deep pressure. Would definitely recommend!

For those of you who are like me and cannot find a truly deep tissue massage, look no further. The Functional Muscle Manipulation at DeeperLayers is life-changing. George combines natural breathing with a deep tissue massage which releases your tight muscles and eliminates chronic pain. Truly Amazing!

Excellent job! I went in for pain in my neck and back and walked out with no pain! George does great work.

I have suffered from continuous acute back pains, especially the upper back and shoulders. I have tried numerous massage techniques which at best offered short term relief in the form of loosening up, which did not last for long. By coincidence I was told about Mr. George Rodafino’s Functional Muscle Manipulation. And l started. Having completed 8 sessions, I can honestly say that my acute back pains, no longer bother me. l feel that my upper body has been completely loosened, as if an enormous weight has been taken off my shoulders and neck. My stance has completely changed, my back has straightened. I feel light as if I have acquired a new neck and a new spine.

The specific technique that is used for this therapy, is smooth harmonious movements and wherever needed they are more intense, their hands seem to go deeper without inflicting pain. instead the sensation is one of relaxation and comforting relief.
Thank you George!

I'm always skeptical when working with a new massage therapist, but George quickly won me over. George is highly skilled and knows just how to find the right spot. His physical manipulation techniques are very effective at relieving tension. The unique thing thing about George's work is his use of breathing for emotional release, which has been healing for me. I'm having far fewer tension headaches after just a couple sessions. Thanks, Geeorge!

I have lived with back pain ever since I was involved in 2 car accidents (rollovers) in 1993. Since then, I have been in and out of physical therapy, chiropractic and massage, but nothing seemed to work. That is, until I met George.

After my first session with George, I was pain free for 4 whole days. It was amazing. That is the first time in over 20 years that I felt that good. After each consecutive session, I feel better for longer periods of time.

Another amazing thing has happened. I get taller. At first I thought it was a fluke, but it happens after every session with George. It is definitely not a coincidence. When I get in my car to leave, I have to adjust my rearview mirror upwards, because it is too low for me to see. One hour with George stretches my back out enough that it is noticeable, when I get in my car. Who would've known.

Thank you George! Amazing work!

I have been seeing George since March 2018 and I can truly say that he has changed my life. I was diagnosed with chronic pain and fibromyalgia in 2011 and I have been searching for relief ever since. In less than 3 months, George has been able to eliminate the muscle tension and pain that had crippled me for years, which is something that no amount of previous efforts including massage, physical therapy, chiropractic services, acupuncture, yoga, watsu etc. have been able to do. This is not temporary relief. George's Functional Muscle Manipulation technique offers immediate results that last.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE...Cannot express more highly how much I appreciate George's modality. Very, very good, NO, amazing! I felt so much better after the first 2 days (I have fibromyalgia, so there was some soreness which is common for me after a massage...),after that, shoulders were more open, same with the neck. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! And a shout out to George for just being amazing, patient, and caring!! All ready booked another session!

my experience with DeeperLayers is basically what i've been chasing for years in regular old massages - i've never experienced such relief!! Mr. George is such a kind, comforting practitioner & his approach is unlike any i've encountered. part mindfulness, part relaxation, entirely better than any "massage" i've ever had. it's more like therapy for your body, truly for YOUR body & its unique needs. i've already been twice & will absolutely continue going, as i have felt such relief & lasting improvement after each session!

i cannot wax poetic enough about DeeperLayers; if you have back/neck/shoulder tension, book a session ASAP! you won't regret it. thank you Mr. George, you're the best!

This isn't your usual massage. This is a precise treatment that realigns your muscles and bones. I've only been once so far but was blown away by how different I felt afterwords. It's not a "lay down and get oil rubbed all over you" kind of massage if that's what you're looking for. This is for people who need relief from muscle and joint pain.

A wonderful technique - George explained how years and years of tension had tightened me up. It made so much sense. I feel I can lower my shoulders and relax my back on my own. A huge thumbs up!
