Kiva is magic with her strong hands! A few years ago I broke my elbow. The surgeon who placed the pins in my radius told me that I would most likely never regain full range of motion, would possibly never touch my nose again, and might even lose the use of my hand. I went to Kiva for a series of sessions involving massage and stretching. Outcome? If it wasn’t for the scar on that arm, I would have no idea which one I broke. Of course the doctor takes credit, but I credit Kiva. I think Kiva’s greatest gift to me, though,is that she is unafraid to massage my scars. I had a double mastectomy a number of years ago. I have been to a number of other massage therapists who seem afraid to touch those scars and their surrounding kinked-up muscles. I cannot begin to express what a gift it is, and how truly releasing it is, to have Kiva work out those adhesions, knots, kinks, and aches. And then there’s the everyday mouse-hand shoulder ache, hunched-up neck pain, lower-back slouch misery…aaahh massage. Thank you Kiva!

I had a serious neck injury. After several months of various treatments, I still experienced daily pain. Kiva was able to immediately identify the muscle imbalances causing many of my problems. She found and released trigger points I was not even aware of. With massage therapy I was able to reduce my medication and increase my tolerance of daily work activities. If you have an injury, Kiva will be a guide through your healing experience. She is always patient, professional, compassionate and most of all she is hopeful. I recommend massage both for healing and for health maintenance. I used to think a massage was a luxury but now I know it is a health priority. We all choose where to invest our time and money- with massage therapy you are choosing to invest in your personal wellness.

I have been going to Kiva Sprissler for deep tissue massage for a bulging disc for over 10 years. As a health care professional I have typically shied away from holistic aspects of health care remedies but I must say that I have had great success with Kiva’s deep tissue massage technique. She is extremely knowledgeable in anatomy and has more than the average massage therapist’s understanding of the pathology of pain, particularly muscle pain related to disc and spine issues.
Above and beyond her healing skills, Kiva is very personable and makes clients feel comfortable and relaxed during each session. I recommend Kiva Sprissler massage therapy services to anyone looking for pain relief and in a warm and welcoming setting.

I've been seeing Kiva for massage therapy for at least 10 years. The relief I get from lower back and hip pain, I no longer have sleepless nights. She is a gifted person with a special soul!

I was thinking that it is about time I write a haiku for my favourite massage therapist. Hope you like it:
I grow younger now --
Each and every pressure point
Released by your touch
