"After more than two years of suffering from severe back pain, Max was able to relieve almost all of it after just the first two treatments. The atmosphere in the practice is great, and both the consultation and treatment are extremely professional and competent. I've already recommended him twice. I'm incredibly happy to have found such a wonderful, holistic therapist who was finally able to help me and take away my pain."

"Incredible! What an outstanding experience it's so much more than a massage! I've been to lots of amazing massage therapists but Max truly knows what he's doing. Don't go here if you're expecting a relaxed massage, but go here if you're in pain, if you have deeply rooted muscle pain. He was the first to connect my pain in shoulders and calf's to my flat feet and showed me how it's all connected. Incredible talented human being. I'm sad I don't live in Vienna - I would go here once a week! I already feel so much lighter and most of all understood and taken serious"

"I found Max through a friend as I was dealing with shoulder impingement before an Olympic weightlifting competition. I saw him twice in competition week, and after the treatments my shoulder felt great—I had no pain during the competition. I'm really happy I found him and will definitely continue going to him. Highly recommend!"

"I came in with a hamstring tear and, in one session, he worked with precision and care. We did electro dry needling followed by cryo, and I genuinely felt relief and improved movement right away. What I appreciated most was his presence. He listens, he explains, and he treats the root, not just the symptom. Grateful for the session"

"Max came recommended because I suffer from bursitis in my shoulder that has bothered me for years on and off. I tried physiotherapy and many different massage therapies but nothing really helped. Right after the first session with Max I felt instant relief in my shoulders and other parts of my back that bother me. He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable with every part of the body - muscles, fascia, tendons, etc and instantly feels when something isn't smooth or working as it should. Not only are his massages very soothing, he also uses different tools and therapies to help achieve quick results. I can highly recommend him, especially if you have pain issues - chronic or acute - or generally are in need of recovery."

"I have visited Max for approximately 25 years, that says it all! Living in Jersey I have not found any masseur who can treat with the same depth and intensity. His ability to detect issues in the muscles is second to none."
