I have been comming to Barry for a two hour massage each week for the past nine years. I have had massage in ten different countries, eight different islands, all over the United States, luxury liners and the Canyon Ranch. Barry Hooper is simply the best massage therapist I have ever had take care of me, bar none. He is intuitive, accurate, strong, educated and utterly comitted to my wellbeing. His hands are magical, always finding the spots and then addressing them with the perfect pressure and pace. I trust him implicitely.Mickey Congleton

I have referred many patients to Barry over the years. Most of the folks I have sent to him have been high level individuals, in fact several were professional athletes. Barry's knowledge of functional anatomy coupled with his ability to perform deep tissue work have allowed my patients to realize tremendous results. I have used Barry in conjunction with active physical therapy as well as in aftercare situations. I have found his ability to treat extremity/peripheral joint injuries unique in his field."

I ruptured my hamstring 15 years ago. From the time of that injury until I started therapy with Barry, I was unable to run without pain. During my first visit Barry clearly explained what was causing my pain and how he could initiate the healing process. Thanks to Barry I am now able to run again without pain. I just ran the Philadelphia Distance Run (Half-Marathon) and plan on running the Philadelphia Marathon. I wish I met Barry 15 years ago!

Barry,
Your work is an inspiration to me. What you do is much more than a massage, it is a gift. The gift of love, peace, body and soul. Thank you so much, I would not have been able to do what I did in this film had it not been for your talents, which you bestowed upon me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Barry,I wanted to thank you again for everything that you have done for me. I went from not being able to play tennis or lift my leg over the gate I have in my house to contain my daughter to being able to compete again in tennis tournaments. This past week I competed in my first tennis tournament in 3 years. My body was able to move and perform with complete range of motion in my hip and shoulder.
Here is a testimonial:
Barry’s knowledge of the human body and how everything fits together gives him the ability to address the root of the injury instead of just treating the symptoms. I have lived with various injuries for close to 12 months before seeing Barry. Since visiting Barry I have experienced such relief that I am back to competing in various sports that I have been unable to do for the past 12 months. Anyone who has been experiencing muscular or joint pain should make it a point schedule an appointment right away.

I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist for 6 years and was thrilled to find someone of Barry’s knowledge and talent close by. Barry is personable, professional and takes his craft seriously. He is highly skilled in Myofascial Release and Deep Tissue work and I always leave his office feeling as though my muscles have been “melted” by Barry’s powerful hands - and they actually have been!

Barry is wonderful! I would recommend him to anyone. I am a physical therapist and I was recovering from a back injury. I was left with alot of muscle spasm that had not responded to more traditional forms of rehabilitation. I saw Barry for two months and it made a world of difference. I am now pain free and I have Barry to thank for being a big part of that process.

There is a great distinction between a physician and physical therapist or physical trainer. All are centered in getting a patient well and on their way. Each have their own areas of expertise and subscribe to their individual course of study.
Rarely does someone come along that is not encumbered with titles or chained to methods etched in stone. This type of person is one who is versed not only in the anatomy and physiology of the human body but one who has administered to enough individuals that he can cater his recommendations to ones particular functionality and psychological makeup.. That is a true Healing Artist......Barry Hooper is the personification of these principles.

The bodywork that I have received over the last four years from Barry Hooper has always been of the highest caliber and simply unsurpassed by any other massage therapist that I have ever had work on me.
I tend to be very particular when it comes to body work as I am a massage therapist myself, and I have always demanded a certain level of precise and thorough muscle work. Barry's level of expertise in the areas of Pfrimmer Deep Muscle, Myofascial Release and Trigger Point therapies is amazing. He has helped to correct and heal several chronic discomforts and abnormalities in my connective tissue and muscular structure. His innate knowledge as to where exactly he needs to concentrate while performing his muscle work,, has always created positive results and I continue to marvel at his thorough and incredible talents as a sensitive, caring licensed massage therapist.

Barry’s massages are incredible! I have had many hotel and spa massages; Barry’s intuitive and skilled knowledge of massage have far surpassed those experiences. Can’t wait for my next one! Jane Hagy
To whom it may concern,
I was referred to Barry for a back massage,because i have been struggling with back pain for over 25 years.Let me tell you it is a great therapeutic experience. Barry Hooper is very talented and knowledgeable in body mechanics.This is not a rub down like you receive at expensive resorts.It is what a real massage should be. Barry,integrates his therapy with proper stetching instructions and nutrition advice. When dealing with healing,you have to look at all sides of a person(,physical,mental,and spiritual),this is what Barry does when he treats you.The overall objective is optimal health and well being. I highly recommend Barry Hooper for an uplifting nassage experience.

Barry Hooper is more then a massage therapist. He truly does Bodywork by addressing the immediate needs of your body. I did not know what Bodywork was until I had several visits with Barry. Each visit he takes time to ask you what is going on with your body. He is a genius when it comes to assessment and treatment of your body's needs. I fully trust Barry's professionalism and attention to detail. You are in exceptional care with Barry. Can I mention what a funny and inspiring human being he is as well?
