"As a competitive swimmer, I cannot overstate the importance of taking care of the physical aspects of the body, not to mention the mental state. My massage therapist, Stephanie Zahora, knows very well how to relax the body and mind. Much needed therapy."

"I have been receiving weekly massage from Victor since 1997. I suffer from emphysema and appreciate the relief it brings me. I believe it boosts my immune system, increases circulation, as well as creates additional space for breathing. I have received massage all my life and cannot imagine a week without it."

"I have been a client of Victor’s since 1998 and have nothing but praise for his expertise as my massage therapist. When he established his practice at the Reston YMCA a couple of years later, I followed him there and have always received the very best in care from any of his massage therapists. At the end of a session, I ALWAYS leave feeling relaxed and stress-free – it’s amazing how quickly a session passes. For me, massage therapy has become a routine part of my overall health-maintenance program and I look forward to every visit!"

"Robin was recommended by my chiropractor and since I workout at the YMCA it was very convenient and easy to schedule. I have been seeing Robin for years; she is a very talented massage therapist and a very caring person. Getting massages on a regular basis is a very important thing that I do to take care of myself, especially during stressful times!"

"I have received ongoing deep tissue massage from Robin for muscle tightness in my neck, shoulders, and hips. Robin is highly skilled in decreasing tissue tightness and relieving pain. She is able to adjust her pressure and “listen” to the muscles. Due to Robin’s skills I have had significant relief from pain that other techniques have not been able to accomplish! I would highly recommend her services at A Touch of Health."

"I have been a client of A Touch of Health for nine years! Victor and all his associates are very professional partners in health and balance. Creating the experience and adjusting to my needs have been crucial. While there have been times when I had to receive a massage elsewhere, it was always great to get back to the therapists who knows you best and will work with your present needs. Most of this nine-year span I have used Victor’s services at least every two weeks and mostly on a weekly basis. During therapy after a car accident, massage therapy proved crucial to recovery. They listen and help to make each experience unique and meaningful."

"In 2001 I broke my right hip and needed a partial hip replacement. After the operation my hip was always tender and I was not able to lie on my right side. About a year after the surgery I went to Victor at A Touch of Health. I went initially to treat tightness in my neck thinking that the soreness from my hip surgery was just something I had to live with. Victor listened very carefully as I described my “issues” and explained to me how he could help. It took only a few appointments with Victor before my hip started to feel much better and I was able to lie on my right side again.

I have been seeing Victor regularly since that first appointment and the benefits have been invaluable. Victor always asks me how I am doing and whether I have any particular areas that need work. He is very careful to personalize my massage to address those areas.

On the occasion that Victor is not available I have also received massages from several of his therapists. All have been very professional and I have enjoyed my sessions with them. My husband has also become a loyal client at A Touch of Health.

I would highly recommend Victor and his staff at A Touch of Health."

"I have been getting regular massages with Stephanie at A Touch of Health for about ten years. Massage reduces the stress my body takes home from work every day--even when I don't feel the stress emotionally, my body is definitely affected. When I first started with massage, I had a muscle spasm in my neck that prevented me from turning my head without pain. Stress continues to trigger that pain occasionally, and massage helps me manage it. In fact, I can relax anytime just by thinking about the serene setting at A Touch of Health and the soothing effects of the massage.

More recently, I underwent treatment for cancer, during which I developed unexplained nerve damage to my shoulder that completely emaciated the muscles. I was unable to lift my arm and the neurologist gave me a pessimistic prognosis for recovery. I truly believe that the power of regular massage, through both the muscle work and the overall relaxation, gave my body the strength to recover completely in a short time. Massage has become an integral factor for my well-being."

"Stephanie is GREAT! I have multiple sclerosis and have been seeing her for years. She has “healing” hands that not only relax tight muscles, but brings healing to the whole body. I highly recommend her."

"Sticking with a workout routine isn’t always easy, but Robin is the light at the end of the tunnel! With A Touch of Health located right at the Reston YMCA. It is really convenient to make massages a regular part of our workout program. Robin is outstanding! Also, the Frequent User Package is a great deal and makes wonderful year-round gifts (…even to yourself!)."

"I have been going to A Touch of Health for deep tissue massage for over 3 years now. I work long hours in front of a computer on a daily basis, my shoulders and neck were in constant pain. Now, I look forward to my bi-weekly appointment for therapeutic massage and always feel RESTORED afterwards. The way I describe how I feel after my massage is, “a total detailing of my body”. It is as though I am having each bolt and nut unscrewed, cleaned, lubricated and then reattached. The deep tissue massage addresses tendons and layers of muscles and tissue. When the pressure is applied and released, I am relieved of all the daily stress, tension and pain. The most benefit I receive, in addition to feeling renewed and relaxed is that my shoulder and neck pain is gone. My shoulder and neck still get tense on occasion but I do not experience the extreme pain that I used to bear for many years."
