Integrated Neuromuscular Massage Therapy

I have fibromyalgia, which means that I have chronic pain and poor sleep. For the past few months I have been struggling with intractable back and shoulder and neck pain. After my first session with Melissa, I had the strangest experience with the pain; it would start up and then quickly dissipate all on its own. This happened repeatedly during the week. In addition, I felt taller somehow. I’ve also noticed my sleep duration improving a bit. The following week I would still have some pain, but it didn’t interfere with my days as much as it had in the past. I considered this a big win. I also noticed a frequent desire to adjust my posture, which I have never felt before. It just felt good to stand and sit up straighter, and I felt more supported by my core while doing so.

I was referred to Vasily Salov at INT (Integrated Neuromuscular Therapy) by my chiropractor in Palo Alto, to treat intense pain in my lower back. Starting out my first visit, Vasily took careful note of my posture and movement and identified multiple areas that needed treatment in my hips and lower and middle back. After just the first session, I started to feel my lower back moving better. Vasily also recommended multiple daily exercises to strengthen my core and accelerate my recovery. With just a few sessions, my lower back pain completely disappeared. I could not have recovered without Vasily's caring and expert help. If you're in pain right now, don't wait to seek relieve. I highly recommend him - he is exceptional!

Vasily Salov is an expert, thoughtful, and impressively effective therapist that any athlete is fortunate to work with. Professionally and personally, he is very experienced with high-level performance, injury, and recovery; this knowledge infuses his thoughtfulness in customizing therapy for each client. Vasily's treatment was an essential complement to the physical therapy exercises required for fully rehabilitating my repaired ACL and continuing my love for extreme skiing. I appreciated how he and my physical therapist occasionally worked as a team, sharing notes on which muscle groups and tendons or ligaments to exercise and which to target with massage therapy, in order to best promote the healing process for me. Reducing tension and inflammation in the surrounding tissues was cri

I have been seeing Vasily for many years now. I have had several injuries, surgeries, and wear and tear, and Vasily has always gotten me back to being healthy. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, flexible, personable, and professional. I attribute my return to my training, lifestyle, and well-being to Vasily's therapy. He is incredible.

I struggle a lot with shoulder and back pain and visits to Vasily have made a huge difference in my pain management. The work that he does on my shoulder and back not only relieves the pain, but he also teaches me what stretches and exercises to do to continue to manage my problem. I strongly recommend Vasily for any type of bodywork that you need. He will invest the time and teach you how to improve your posture, sleep, and overall well-being,
