LifeCare Therapeutic Massage

I had a chronic neck pain for more than 2 years. I had tried several chiropractors and physical therapists, but nothing made a drastic change to my condition. I read reviews about Tim Kelly and decided to try this one out. Tim Kelly is a Pro. I must say that I started seeing the difference after my very first visit. He does a great deep tissue massage that completely relaxes the body, getting rid of all the stress points. He is very knowledgeable, he would inform you about what he is doing and how it would help you. With almost 5-6 visits, my neck pain is reduced by 70-80%.

Pros: Highly skilled specialist, easy parking

Cons: Finding appointments could be difficult

I've had chronic tension headaches for years. After just a few sessions with Tim, they've stopped. He really has retrained my muscles to allow me to respond differently and to be much more aware of what I'm doing to create tension in the first place. I'm very familiar with body work. This fellow is kind and caring, very knowledgeable and, Boy, is he strong! Those hands can really take you apart and put you back together in the way you'd like. This work is a wonderful assist for changing whatever you'd like in your life. Starting with your body.

Tim Kelly, the maestro... At the end of February 2007, I was in a car crash. I was in a Lexus LS and I was T-boned. Considering how I felt at the time I thought all was pretty well. Three days later the impact of the crash sunk into my body (by the way, the insurance adjuster totaled my car). I did the usual and went to the MD, got the x-rays, and was prescribed to use eight weeks of PT. I dutifully went to the assigned PT office. Each time I was subjected to ultrasonic massage, electro-muscle-stimulation, physical exercise and some fluff-and-buff massage. After each visit, I felt as if I'd been in the car crash all over again. I needed to do something different. I was referred to Tim Kelly by Pamela Birimisa, my Pilates instructor of 2-1/2 years. (By the way, she and Redmond Pilates are an awesome asset to Redmond, check them out. But that is a different story). Tim Kelly was unbelievable. His massage technique, which was ridiculously deep (although he claims - and I believe him - to be able to adjust to the situation, including working on babies) was unbelievably successful. Within three visits, the issues that I had from the car crash were resolved. I am still going on a relatively regular schedule, to work on other issues, other baggage, that I have accumulated in 60 plus years on this planet. Yes, he is still using deep massage techniques to resolve my problems. I have had deep massage before, but Tim is amazingly strong. Sometimes I think he is going to come out the other side from where he is focusing his pressure and energy (that's OK - breathe - breathe into it). He gets to the heart of the problem and it yields to his will. I sincerely appreciate Tim's knowledge, skill and caring. I highly recommend him to anyone who has issues that can be dealt with through massage. Tim Kelly is truely, a MAESTRO!

Pros: You will get your issues resolved. He listens and is knowledgeable, skilled and caring!

Cons: None - Although he is frequently fully booked and you may have trouble getting in.

I'm 55 years old, and started going to Tim Kelley for treatment of a stiff, painful neck - probably due to swimming and lousy posture. After a couple of sessions, my neck range-of-motion was much improved and the pain and stiffness had decreased markedly. Tim didn't stop at my neck, and over time has worked to release a lot of years of stress and tension and improve flexibliity in a number of places. His massages are really deep, and yes, at times they hurt a lot, but I've been happy with the results. I'm not the easiest patient, but TIm doesn't seem to mind. He also trys to understand the causes of my various aches and pains, and has offered what is probably very good advice on improving my health - if I'd only take it!

Pros: Deep Therapeutic Bodywork, good location and parking

I'm an athletic soccer player/coach in my mid 20's and work long hours daily. After 10 years of continually seeing, spinal specialists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and acupuncturists, I have give up hope on my lower back pain and accepted the fact of this agonizing daily ache because I only received little relief that lasted a day or two! I was using anti-inflammatory pain medications on a daily basis to alleviate the constant pain in my back. There were times where I could not walk for two weeks straight if I carried something heavy or moved in the wrong way. As a matter of fact doctors told me that I could never work out again. I showed up at Tim's office over a year and a half ago. I could barely turn my head from side to side or touch my hands to my knees. I had two bulged, scared, and inflamed L4 and L5 disks. I was unable to sleep with pain medications longer than 5 hours a night due to my brutal pain in my lower back, neck, and shoulders. My wife has convinced me to see the highly recommended Tim Kelley after extensive research on massage therapist in the area. After several sessions with Tim Kelley, I began to experience minimal to rare pain in my lower back. Tim has beyond doubt helped me restore my mobility, reduce pain, and most of all given me hope in the healing powers of the human body. Tim Kelley has helped me get back to working out in the gym, sitting healthier, thinking healthier, stretching, and cooling down. Tim is a healer. If you are seeking help to relieve some major pain to any injury to your body and/or restore mobility and hope TIM KELLEY IS THE SKILLED SPECIALIST.

Pros: Parking is good, service is excellent

Cons: none

I've been going to Tim for close to one year. I don't think I've ever had a massage therapist that knew how to release tension and pain in my neck and shoulders, the way Tim does. I see him every couple of weeks, to stay in good shape. I think it's important to make massage a part of your life, as it can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and remain pain free. I highly recommend Tim!

Pros: Great Massage with a specialty for head, neck and shoulder massage

Cons: Only con is getting into his schedule

My wife got me in to see Tim several months ago for chronic neck and shoulder pain from a bicycling accident several years ago. The tightness and pain was causing debilitating headaches. After having Tim work on my neck, the headaches have gone from frequent to rare and I now see Tim just every 3 weeks or so for "maintenance." His techniques get deep into the muscles and help keep me loosened to deal with working long hours, playing hard, and enjoying my life. I agree with the previous posting: "Tim is truly an excellent massage therapist. Plus, he’s just a really nice, caring, compassionate man." Tim has the strength and skill to taylor his massages to meet the demands of those needing therapy, not just those wanting to feel good. Tim has plans to expand his always-in-demand practice and is making sure he finds other therapists who share his skill, caring, and passion for helping others. This should help relieve some of the current difficulties in getting on the schedule. I would highly recommend Lifecare Therapeutic Massage.

Pros: Great bodywork, reliable and skilled therapist, easy parking, clean facility

Cons: So in demand that scheduling an appointment is sometimes hard.

I have been going to Tim for about 9 months now. He has helped me greatly with my chronic (off-and-on for years) neck and shoulder pain. I scheduled my first visit through his website on a day when I was in so much pain that I could barely move. Almost immediately after seeing him, I was able to resume my active lifestyle, which includes 10 hour days at work, as well as golf, lifting weights, and long distance walking . I see Tim about once every two weeks, and he helps keeps me in shape to enjoy my life. Tim is truly an excellent massage therapist. Plus, he’s just a really nice, caring, compassionate man. I would highly recommend Lifecare Therapeutic Massage.

Pros: Dedicated, compassionate; location is easy to get to, parking is easy

Cons: None that I can think of

Tim Kelley provides not just excellent therapy but also genuine compassion. He is 100% dedicated to helping me achieve a pain-free life. LifeCare is an appropriate name for his business because he truly cares about you. Tim is also extremely knowledgeable. He explains exactly why you're experiencing pain and he gets directly to the root of the problem. I went to 15 sessions with a physical therapist last year. I had some mild relief and decent progress. However, after my first visit with Tim I had great relief and it has only gotten better with each visit . I could not be happier.

Before I started working with Tim I would get frequent migraines--at least once a week I would stay home from school, shut up in my room with the lights off, and crying because it hurt so bad. After a couple years of massages and chiropractic work I am happy and relieved to say that I haven't had a migraine in a long time. Tim is a great massage therapist and I would gladly recommend him to anyone.
