Andrea Long, MPT, CSCS

With my highest confidence, I recommend Patti Haladay as a sports massage therapist.  As a physical therapist, I recognize the need for stretching, strengthening, balance and power.  Patti is a skilled massage therapist and she adds the soft tissue aspect to rehabilitation clients.  A few years ago, I needed shoulder surgery myself.  Patti’s skills were a crucial part of my recovery.  She was gentle and respectful of my limited range of motion in the early stages.  Later, she was able to be more aggressive, and helped me attain the last bits of my range of motion.  She was able to utilize several soft tissue techniques to achieve the desired outcome.

Patti and I have also teamed up several times when rehabilitating clients.  She tackles the soft tissue aspects of the clients’ needs, which allows me to focus on other components of the rehabilitation process.  From the professional athlete, to the weekend warrior, to the “regular” person who happens to sustain an injury, Patti has been able to help each individual return to a level of performance with which the person desires.
