Ride to Recover

Hi,
I thought that both of you might appreciate an update on Christine and her breathing. In late August Christine started running Cross Country to help her prepare for the indoor/outdoor track seasons. Her primary goals were conditioning and strength building. Initially it was clear that she was getting stronger, however her breathing was still labored. Over the last two to three weeks her breathing has improved significantly. This past weekend Christine finished 4th in the Freshman Girls 1.5 mile race at Byram Hills running a sub 7 min. per mile pace. She had not run under an 8 minute per mile pace in any previous event. Moreover she did not appear to have labored breathing. She also did not look like she was suffering at the end of the race. Christine is still using her inhaler. However she reports that she needs it less.

All this is great news.

This man has saved me from constant pain and is truly a miracle worker. He was recommended by my orthopedist as I needed a professional who understood massage therapy when there was a condition involved that might be damaged by someone less well-trained and experienced. I was in constant pain from a displaced vertebrae in my neck and Frank gave me back my normal, pain-free life with patience, understanding, knowledge and massages that healed. He also analyzed the way I sat, walked and stood and taught me how to relieve stress in my body, especially my back. I have since called on him several times for emergency services when I’ve foolishly hurt myself and he has come in and again saved me from chronic pain. I have recommended him unequivocally to everyone I know. The best in the business.

Frank is a very knowledgeable and well informed massage expert. I am impressed with his zeal for learning and continuously developing a wide range of techniques to benefit his clients.

Christina D. July 13, 2016

Frank is a very special gifted person that I believe massage therapy is a core component in enhancing the body’s innate ability to restore and maintain good health. I truly believe client-focused approach that values open communication between therapist and client. When I began receiving regular and effective sessions, I discovered that massage could be much more than a ‘feel-good luxury’, but could profoundly facilitate improved health and well-being. Whether supporting injury recovery or increased comfort and body awareness, I have truly enjoyed working with Frank to meet my individual goals and needs.

Frank is a master. His knowledge is extensive. His skills are fantastic. I’ve learned so much from Frank about my body and how to take care of it properly. Frank helped me through my neck and shoulder condition like no one else has. His massage therapy sessions have brought me to the point where I can throw a ball with my son, whereas before the sessions I wasn’t able to lift my arm past parallel to the ground. Go see Frank! He’s the real deal and is most happy when you DON’T have to come back to see him anymore.

Mike L. July 13, 2016

Frank is the ultimate professional, with vast, seemingly endless knowledge of the body, injuries, healing, as well as massage techniques from the tried and true to the most current treatments available. His concern and care of his clients is palpable. Frank sets the gold standard for massage therapy.

Frank is a miracle worker! He has helped me heal injuries when no one else, doctors included, could help. Several years ago I ruptured a disc in my lower back and had tremendous pain and limited mobility. Months of physical therapy, anti-inflammatories and doctors visits did nothing. I did not want to have the spinal cortisone injections being suggested so I went to Frank. After a half dozen sessions I was out of pain and ready to go again. His knowledge of human anatomy and many massage techniques is vast and he knows how to get to the root cause of injuries and how to fix them. I suffered another herniated disc in my neck and he fixed that. Recently he has cured my plantar fasciatis, which I had for two years without relief from doctors, anti-inflammatories and orthotics alone. His deep tissue techniques just seems to put things back in place. And he sends you home with exercises and/or treatments to help prevent the injury from reoccurring. He is my first call whenever something ails me now or if I just need to stay in good form. I highly, highly recommend using him.

I may be a Taekwondo Master but Frank is THE Master of physiology, musculature, skeletal structure and, most importantly, solutions – if you need to be fixed, Mr. Fix-It Man himself, Frank Casucci 111 is your person. He has helped me over the course of many years and I have recommended him unconditionally to both family and friends.

Erica Linthorst July 14, 2016

It is with immense gratitude that I thank Frank Casucci for his talented care of my physical well-being through massage, and teaching me self-care exercises and stretches. He has an uncanny ability to find the source of the aches and pains of daily life (from carrying toddlers, to working out too hard, to driving a car hours on end). His talent for ameliorating physical problems quickly is well appreciated.

Frank’s skills and advice help me move forward into my week physically prepared for it’s stresses. Frank is not only a terrific diagnostician, but has great insights into how to prevent many problems from recurring, thru self-care. He is a true teacher and really cares about his clients.

When I found Frank I was at the peak of frustration and discouragement about a numbing/pain sensation in my right leg that was keeping me from running and participating in my favorite activities. I spent about 2 minutes describing my symptoms to him over the phone. He asked me a series of questions that immediately indicated he knew what he was talking about and more importantly, knew how to help. He even knew (without my telling him) that my socks had been oddly feeling too tight for a while!

I had gone to doctors and chiropractors who told me after multiple visits that they didn’t know what the problem was. When I described my numbing sensation, they looked at me quizzically. Frank knew what the problem was in two minutes (probably less, but he was nice enough to let me finish telling my story!).

After my first session, I started feeling better and my leg continues to improve. Frank was able to immediately (we were still in the parking lot!) point out several easily correctable issues with my posture. He also gave me exercises that have really helped alleviate my symptoms. And he referred me to a doctor who actually knows how to deal with sports injuries!

I’ve only known Frank for a short time but the amount of relief both physically and mentally that he has provided is enormous. The mental weight of not knowing what was wrong with my leg and having to go day by day worrying whether I would be able to run that day was very distressing. If you are someone who loves to run, you know what I mean. Most simply put, Frank took care of me…and he continues to. Needless to say, I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Kathryn G. July 20, 2016

Frank is incredibly knowledgeable about anatomy and how the body works. I trust him implicitly. As a yoga teacher I don’t let just anyone work on me. Frank has the intuition and smarts I need in a massage therapist. I have learned so much from him!

Linda Krisberg July 30, 2016

After several visits to Frank I have a new understanding of my personal anatomy. His approach, which includes teaching me about my own patterns of standing and moving has a lasting impact. As I continue to age, this learning process with Frank, a combination of therapy and lecture as he works, is invaluable. I have never met anyone who could teach me so much and correct so many things.

Nancy Mcloughlin July 30, 2016

Frank is amazing! He is so knowledgeable about the body; he can help any problem. He has a great personality and is easy for my daughter to relate too. Frank has been the only person to give any kind of relief to my daughter’s pain. She is always asking me to call Frank. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing pain relief or recovering from an injury or simply needing to relax. He is always thinking outside the box and willing to try new things. He rarely does the same thing twice and has a plethora of ideas to try. Frank has a great gift!!! He has been a miracle for us.

Misa Anderson August 22, 2016

Frank is simply superb at diagnosing problems, providing pinpointed care and helping patients sustain their fitness while avoiding injury. As a 76 year old competitive rower, I need all the help I can get and am unwilling to take time off the water. He understands and keeps me fit!

Peter Derow September 2, 2016

Frank is excellent at what he does. He gives 100-plus percent. He is very eclectic and knowledgable. If you work with Frank you are in good hands. I highly recommend him.

Samantha Paige Graeber, LMT September 2, 2016

Frank has helped me tremendously. After only 2 sessions with him, my hip/leg felt dramatically better. I had always had a sore hip after running and had considered it was just part of being a runner. Frank helped me see that how I was running and standing was causing stress in my hip. He has an ability to see the details and knows how to heal in a way that far surpasses any physical therapist, trainer, or chiropractor I’ve ever known.

Jennifer G September 30, 2016

Franks the best, very knowledgeable and effective. Great for athletes, will get you going ASAP

Dan Tracy September 30, 2016

Frank is very attentive and extremely knowledgeable about different aspects of the body. He is also well versed in many different treatment and massage techniques. He listens to what you need and want in terms of treatment and is very flexible where others are more one dimensional. He is the one of the best massage therapist that I have worked with and I am a fairly high maintenance client.

Gabe Stauber January 8, 2017

I am a massage therapist and very discriminating about the work I receive. Frank is a master therapist and teacher.
Not only do I always experience great work from Frank, I also learn so much because he is a generous and natural teacher. He’s so enthusiastic about muscles and the workings of the body, he shares his knowledge unreservedly. This is the best massage therapy I’ve ever received.

Beddy LoBalbo March 10, 2017

Frank has been instrumental in helping my boys with sports related injuries. We have seen increased flexibility and incredible reduction in muscle tightness. Frank is incredibly knowledgable and we feel grateful to him for all he has done for our boys. I would recommend Frank to anyone.

Diana Rozgonyi March 23, 2017

I find Frank to be very professional and knowledgeable in treating me for sciatica issues that plague me from time to time. I saw Frank for treatment two times. Each time after two treatments I had enormous relief. Also he taught me several self treatment techniques that also were. Try helpful. Two weeks after seeing Frank & self treatment I am today completely pain free.

Diane Drummond May 13, 2017

Frank is great at what he does! He is detail oriented and observant. He very quickly diagnosed the source of my dysfunction and the movement patterns and structural imbalances causing my chronic pain. Frank is super knowledgeable and passionate about anatomy and physiology. In addition, he has the knowledge, experience, and ability to employ a variety of techniques and modalities to get at the root of the issue. Frank’s enthusiasm for his subject and practice is ever present… He is quick to research and further his understanding on a client’s behalf. He clearly loves and cares deeply about what he does. This passion has created a wonderful teacher who shares his wealth of knowledge readily which, in turn, gives some power (as well as responsibility) back into the hands of his clients. I am always treated with compassion, respect and just a touch of humor. This combination has allowed for a relaxed and productive working relationship. I trust Frank and highly recommend his services.

Janet Schuman May 13, 2017

Apart from being an amazing human being, Frank is a gifted practitioner. His passion and fascination with anatomy and helping bodies get more mobile is palpable from the moment you sit down on his table. I highly recommend him to anyone I care about.

Chris Chen June 29, 2017

Frank is an innovative healer. He is able to see problems (and solutions), that others are not able to see. Frank is friendly and easy to work with.
