Testimonials

In 2017 I suffered from C4 – C5 spondylarthrosis with radiation and tingling in my right hand. After 5 treatments with Michele the irradiation improved and after 12 it disappeared: it was the first time after years and many different therapists. I continued to go to Michele because, even though he solved my problem, the quality of life improved a lot.

In 2006, due to severe sciatic pain, I underwent hernia surgery. In 2010 I started again having pain in my legs, due to the narrowing of the medullary canal from L3 – S1. In 2016, after many ineffective therapies and orthopedic visits, I was offered a new surgery or the use of a wheelchair which I refused, accepting myself to a slow decline. In 2018 a friend introduced to me Michele and, after 3 months of treatments, I was able to take long, even challenging walks. In summer I achieved a complete recovery and, thanks to Michele’s treatments, I felt reborn. I continued the treatments, not only for my legs and back, to maintain and increase my life quality.

Michele Martinetti is not only an excellent massage therapist, Michele is the only professional, among the many I turned to, who allowed me, after years of inactivity due to a serious motorcycle accident, to return to work and therefore have a normal life. In my job I have to stand 8 – 10 hours a day and, if I’m back to work, I have to say thanks to Michele.
