Marty is indeed a miracle worker! I had been given no hope of returning to normal activities and pain free by doctors and multiple other therapists until Marty worked on my back. Not only did Marty bring immediate relief to my back pain, he taught me self care techniques that I had never seen elsewhere and have enabled me to remain pain free without flare ups. I have seen many others for therapy and body work and Marty is by far the best!

Marty is a miracle worker, he keeps me moving. His techniques and “homework” has really made a difference in how I feel. My rotator cuff muscles feel 100% better than before. Will always depend on Marty to keep me pain free.
Great results fast!!

I have been working with Marty for just over a month now on a couple of different issues. Marty is so knowledgeable about how all the muscles and bones are connected enabling him to get to the source of the problem. He has explained to me in terms I can understand how my alignment problems have affected various muscles and offered exercises I can do at home to help strengthen and stretch those muscles to correct these problems. My foot problems were causing some knee pain and this pain was almost immediately eliminated with a couple of treatments. I am very excited to continue to work with Marty. He is a great body worker!!

Marty has helped me tremendously. Many of my pains were relieved after several visits. Just have to keep up with the exercises he gives you – it’ll make the healing process much better and much quicker!! He’s not only great at relieving pain, but also gives a mean massage.

Wow! I love working with Marty. I started because of knee issues (which are so much better). My full range of motion in my knee has returned. I am now working on a shoulder problem that I believe was misdiagnosed by a trainer prior to working with Marty. The real benefit with Marty (besides his ability to find exactly where the pain is coming from… and his wondrous massage and trigger point therapy!)… is the fact that he has taught me self care techniques that really make a difference in how I feel on a daily basis. I am so intrigued and excited about the information that he provides and his awareness of what is truly going on in my body. Thanks thanks thanks!!!!!

After treatment from an orthopedist and a physical therapist last year for a back injury, I was still unable to exercise and complete household tasks such as painting and yard work. After working on a regular basis with Marty and completing postural exercises at home, I am now able to spend a day working in the yard and will be completing my first 10k soon! Thank you! —Randi
For over a year I had been experiencing intermittent pain and numbness in my right arm. Many practitioners from different healing modalities had tried to help me,but to no avail. In only three sessions Marty had remedied the numbness and the pain is greatly diminished. I believe Marty has a very comprehensive and unique vision of the body which enables him to be a very successful healer. But, not only is he a gifted practioner, he is an extremely competent teacher. He thoroughly explains why and how the symptoms are being created. He empowers you first with knowledge and then with excercises to help alleviate pain and create strength going forward. It is obvious that he believes in the body’s ability to heal itself because he empowers the individual with the knowledge and understanding to be a participant in their own curing process. -C.J. Lawing.
I just started working with Marty to address issues with my shoulder and back and I couldn’t be more satisfied. I am feeling so much better, I can’t believe how well these exercises work. I can sit and not have pain at rest, something I did not believe was possible just a few days ago. It’s amazing! I wake up in the morning looking forward to doing the (special) exercises Marty recommended and I’m already awaiting our next session to learn more.

Wanted to let everyone know we just had a sick visit (runny nose, sneezing, and coughs) w our peds doc and I informed her about the head/face/ear massage Marty Kestin taught me to do w my two year old son, Sammy.
I mentioned Marty to the doc b/c I’ve been doing this massaging with both boys for about the last two months hoping to prevent future ear infections. I feel strongly Marty’s teachings along with chiropractic care and fish oil have prevented ear infections this time.
I am thrilled my boys tolerate the massaging and respond so well. Marty worked w Sammy in a playful setting and on the massage table to ensure Sam’s comfort level. Avoiding the pain and discomfort associated with ear infections means a lot around my house.
We are all benefiting from Mart’s work. No crying, no ear pain, no sleepless nights, happy children, and happy parents.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Bloom
I was referred to Marty by my Pilates instructor. I have for a long time had issues with tension, tightness and pain in my neck, hip and lower back. I also had a very bad arch in my left foot that required custom orthotics and caused me to walk with my left foot turned slightly outward. I am a physically active baby boomer and found that as a result of these various conditions, I was enjoying physical activity, including golf, skiing and working out at the gym less and less. It had gotten so that after a round of golf I was stiff for a day and rarely felt good playing two days in a row. My back and neck were hurting when I sat at my desk at work for extended periods and driving my car over any distance at all became very uncomfortable.
When I first saw Marty, we spent some time discussing my physical issues and my exercise and work habits. He promised that if I worked with him for a while and performed the self care exercise and postural correction exercises that he would give me, we could make some major improvements in my well being. The keys were that we would need to work on it regularly and that I would need to do my “homework”. As a typical baby boomer who wants to feel that I am forever young, I was up for the challenge.
Marty was right. After a year and a half of work, sometimes seeing him once a week and sometimes once a month, and religiously performing my stretching and postural exercises, I feel at least 5 years physically younger. I am making a turn with my golf swing that I couldn’t do when I was forty. (I still can’t putt. I don’t think Marty has a cure for that.) I feel so much better about the aging process and that I have a plan for continuing to be very active as I continue to age. Obviously I recommend Marty highly. He really knows his stuff.

Marty is an awesome massage therapist … “He has MAGIC hands”!! The first several times I went to him, I was so sleep deprived, that I went to sleep during the session .. I was so relaxed!! The posture exercises he has me doing has helped me learned to “relax” and is helping my muscles “re-learn” how they are suppose to support my skeletal system. I have decreased in the medications I am taking because of that. My goal is to be pain free!! Thank you, Marty!! Susan Lipsey
Hi Marty-I just wanted to give you an update on my knees. Since working with you, I am able to bend both knees to their full range and squat down to the ground with virtually no pain. I have been able to once again participate in yoga and pilates. I am really happy with what you were able to do for me and I thank you. Sincerely, Julie Byrd
I have suffered with a stiff neck and headaches off and on for several years. The postural exercise along with neuromuscular treatment having eliminated my headaches and I have not suffered for months.

I was facing my 3rd knee surgery. I did not want to take pain medication and hoped to help my body heal itself. Then the headaches started. I knew something was going on with my body more than problems with my knees. Then I scheduled an appointment with Marty Kestin.
I walked in expecting a massage. Instead, I spent well over an hour talking, walking, trying exercises, and answering questions. He never touched me but I walked out of his office feeling better! He asked me how much I would commit to doing prescribed exercises. I told him I had run out of options. Long story short, for 3 weeks I have followed his advice, performed my exercises twice daily, drinking lots of water and getting more sleep. I feel great! For the first time, I got out of bed without limping! My knee pain has diminished 75%.
I am thankful for the relief Marty has helped me to achieve. My gait has changed, people are commenting on my posture and noting that I am not limping. Mostly, I feel so much better. The pain management I have accomplished with Marty’s help has improved my quality of life and will continue to improve in time with my commitment to following his prescriptions and living healthy.

I have been a sufferer of chronic back pain for over 20 years. I have been treated by various physicians and therapists through the years. I have been prescribed various pain medications and taught many different core exercises – all in an effort to alleviate my painful back symptoms. I had almost immediate and long lasting pain relief after beginning to work with Marty. His combination of postural exercises and Neuromuscular Therapy have cut my “normal back pain episode” recuperation time in half. Also, another added benefit to Marty’s care is the potential long-lasting affects the exercises can have. If you are faithful to doing the prescribed exercises – your potential for further pain is greatly reduced. The exercises are so simple, can be done anywhere and do not require any equipment. I now normally complete my workouts in a matter of minutes vs. hours and feel 100 times better!! I highly recommend Marty Kestin’s therapeutic care. Tom Kearns
I have suffered low back pain for over 20 years. During that time, I have grown very dissatisfied with chiropractors and physical therapists. Sometimes they made me feel better, some times worse, but I never really gained any confidence that they would ever be anything other than a band-aid the next time my back went out.
During my last low back episode, a friend recommended Neuromuscular and postural Therapy and I scheduled a session with Marty Kestin. Marty took the time to listen to my history and symptoms and developed a program to reduce pain, build strength and correct my posture. The program and methods have improved my low back to the point where I am able to be more active and not have to worry about my back going out on me all the time. Marty did for me in a very short period of time what chiropractors and physical therapists couldn’t do in years. Greg Thomas
Marty really made a huge difference for me. He did a very thorough job of evaluation, and he was excellent at explaining the root of my knee pain to me. His hands on bodywork was both skillful and effective, and the exercises he designed for me have helped me remain pain free. Thanks Marty! David Nelson
