Report
Art Riggs is hands down the most experienced massage therapist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His body work is targeted even on difficult cases and his perspective has helped me traverse through some of my personal misconceptions about chronic pain. Art is an educator at local massage schools and travels regularly giving seminars and workshops around the world. He's also a nice guy and I genuinely got lucky being referred to him.

An amazing teacher and supper experience bodyworker. I had the luck to attend Art Deep Tissue and Myofascial workshop and by all means, it change my way of working with my clients. He is a "wise wolf"- his knowledge is endless, his skills are beyond and above the top. He is a supportive and encouraging person to be next too.
Going to visit Art is to be able to get a full understanding of what you are dealing with. He is there to help people to be better, live with full function of their body ability.

A rolfer who also teaches deep tissue massage technique. His book and video are great for practitioners, but get an appointment for his bodywork. I never felt so good in my life! Well at least since I turned 40.
