PROactive Massage (Michael Strauss, LMT, SET)

Michael is far more than a massage therapist—he’s a healer. When I first came to him, I was in rough shape: struggling with lymphatic circulation, chronic pain in multiple areas, and honestly, a broken spirit. For five years I had bounced between doctors, chiropractors, and massage therapists, none of whom were able to bring me any lasting relief. By the time I was referred to Michael, I was skeptical. That changed in the very first session. His knowledge of the body is extraordinary, and for the first time in years I walked out not only with some relief, but with genuine hope. Finding a provider who truly cares about you—and not just your wallet—is rare, almost mythical. My body didn’t get this way overnight, and recovery is a process, but with Michael’s help I’m feeling better after ever

Still floating from the incredible experience I had at my friend Mike Strauss’s energetic alignment massage practice. Two full hours of focused work clearing blockages from head to toe — it was next-level. I could feel the shift happening in real time. My chi is flowing freely through all chakras, and I’m left feeling deeply aligned, joyful, and so very grateful. Mike, your gift is powerful, and I’m thankful beyond words for the care and intention you bring to your work. Highly recommend to anyone feeling stuck or out of sync — this was truly transformational.

5 Stars – A Life-Changing Experience! I walked into ProActive Massage in crippling pain, barely able to move and braced up with a back support belt. My condition? An extruded L5-S1 disc with a nucleus pulposus fragment compressing my right nerve root—causing constant lightning-like pain, numbness, and tingling from my lower back all the way down to my posterior thigh, calf, ankle, and big toe. It was excruciating and had taken over my life. Then I met Michael Strauss. After just one 90-minute session of his Structural Energetic Therapy, I walked out with barely a limp—and for the first time in a long time, I felt hopeful, realigned, and genuinely relieved. This is so much more than massage. Michael is a structural engineer for the human body. His work goes far beyond traditional massage

I highly recommend Michael for a massage. I booked an appointment with him when I had a lot of tension in my back, shoulders, hip and legs. I had been losing sleep from my sciatica for the past several days. Michael is very professional. He studied my posture and asked my about my overall condition before beginning my massage. He use customized lighting and soothing music to create the perfect relaxing atmosphere. Michael took his time to give me a full massage. He made sure I was comfortable at all times. He was focused on making sure he addressed all the muscles that were tense and giving me pain. When I came out of the massage I felt relaxed and my hip did not hurt for the first time in days. I actually slept through the night. I will definitely book my massages with him in t

It is a privilege for me to recommend and give Michael Strauss an excellent review. I have seen Michael on several sessions for different reasons. Michael will take time to understand your specific problem and concern. Michael is a professional, licensed massage therapist, who has spent time understanding the brain and body for wellness. Through his education and knowledge of healing the body through wellness and positive energy, he could detect the problem areas I was having before I could. Michael is a teacher and will share with you his suggestions and techniques on what to do. I have the most respect for his work, his passion, his professionalism, and constantly making sure I am well through my therapy sessions. He listens and will accommodate you with your request of service. Micha
