Strength of Touch Massage Therapy and Bodywork 622 Valley Road, Montclair, NJ 07043

"Being a long distance runner, I've had many massages over the years, but Derek is simply the best! Over the past year, I've added in heavy weightlifting into my routine and he has been very knowledgeable in managing my problem and tension areas. He listens to exactly what I need (ex: regarding pressure), as well as provide recommendations like Graston or cupping. Regular massages are now part of my routine. Get a massage with Derek; you won't regret it!"

"I recently visited Strength of Touch seeking relief for my shoulder pain and a full-body massage. Darek delivered an outstanding experience, skillfully targeting my pain points with just the right amount of pressure. This was, without a doubt, one of the best massages I’ve ever had. Thanks Darek"

"I’ve had MANY massages through the years. Derek is absolutely the best!!! My needs are very specific after a major back surgery 18 months ago. He listens to exactly what I need and his technique and strength always gives me extreme relief. I see him every two weeks."

"When I first came to Derek I had a back pain due to carrying my baby a lot in my arms. After just a few sessions, my pain was gone. Then in some time I got a pain in my left elbow that didn’t go away. Derek recommended I see an orthopedic doctor and I’m so glad I did. I was diagnosed with tendinitis. I continued going to Derek every month and every time he massaged my elbow I could feel the difference. Soon my elbow healed and I’m certain that massage therapy was a big part of it. Derek is a fantastic massage therapist who truly helps you improve your health!"

"Derek is phenomenal. I've been going to him regularly for a few months now and what started out as fixing a few nagging issues has turned into his constantly keeping me in running shape. Derek is always super attentive to what I'm looking for on a given day and is never afraid to adjust his plan based on what my body is doing that day!"
