Austin Therapeutic Bodywork

After trips to several message therapists with minimal results for my lower back issues I was able to get in to see Nan. I have never received better treatment. Not only was she knowledgeable and nice, but she found a problem that several Chiropractors and message therapists couldn’t. This was a back issue that for YEARS had been on and off. Pain and stiffness to the point I could not tie my shoes. After only two sessions and following the homework Nan gave me I am 98% out of any discomfort. I had to move recently so I am unable to see Nan, but for anyone in need of help she is nothing short of remarkable.

I have had chronic back, neck and shoulder pain for over 10 years. To add to that, I’ve been in two terrible car accidents. I have never found anyone who could relieve the pain and tension. Nan is simply the best.
The only way you will ever know is to book an appointment. And if you try her, I guarantee you will never look back. In my humble opinion, I think she under charges.
She really cares about how you feel and I will tell you this — the experience is incredible. I know I will never look back and she will be my only therapist going forward.

I had my first session with Nan today… I have been suffering with chronic headaches for years… so I have been to several therapists. Nan is the first, I believe to actually bring me relieve and tell me what to do to help in the future. I would recommend Nan to anyone, especially if you’re looking for pain relief!

Nan is incredible! I wanted a post-​race massage and turned to Unilocal — I found all of the positive reviews and the bought the deal. She was very flexible and easy to schedule an appointment with, as well as friendly and informative on the phone. I run and work out quite a bit and have been looking for someone who can really work on my knots and tender spots. Before the massage, she did a postural and flexibility analysis to determine problem areas. She has an integrative approach and explains why you have tension/​tenderness in areas; then she gives you practical tips and exercises to help. I’m a huge fan and wish I would have found her years ago.

Today was my third session with Nan. She is the best massage therapist I have ever had work on me. It is hard to do someone justice in a piddly Unilocal review when they have managed to bring about such positive results in the realm of body wonkiness, but I will try, because she deserves lots of high praise for her work.
I have never had a massage therapist take such a careful approach on assessing my concerns. This is no routine, run-​of-​the-​mill experience. Even if you go only once, Nan will tailor the session to you. She also pays attention to what your muscles tell her, and rather than ignore problem areas, she works on them. Seems like a no brainer, but most massages I’ve had in Austin have been rather cookie-​cutter.
Nan has worked with me each time as an individual. Plus, she is really friendly!
So, to recap, Nan is strong, skilled, technically proficient, intuitive, professional, compassionate, empathetic, and really damn good. I almost don’t know what happened to me in the first session. It was intense, and it was good. Following it, the chronic shoulder pain (bursitis and tendonitis related) I had been having was lifted. In today’s session she worked on my extremely uncomfortable scar tissue and I am so amazed and grateful by the results. Nan knows how to help coax body tissues into acting right! It is a great, tension relieving experience that leaves me breathing easier and feeling in better shape than when I came in EVERY TIME– and it is cumulative. Each session builds and heals more completely. In just a few sessions I have felt results on chronic tension related problems. Rather than hop around from masseuse to masseuse, I highly recommend Nan for anyone looking for quality care in bodywork.

I was searching online for therapeutic body work in Austin, when I came across Nan Hofer’s site. I was looking for more than a deep tissue massage which typically does not provide lasting results. I needed my muscles and fascia to be unlocked and re-​educated. Nan provides exactly what I was looking for. She is a natural healer. Her intuitive sense leads her to the perfect course of therapy. She has quite a few tricks up her sleeve to help you achieve optimal results. Nan truly cares about her patients and always goes the extra mile to help in any way she can. She is a friendly, caring and devoted practitioner. You won’t be disappointed! :-)

Miracle worker comes to mind after a session with Nan! Nan knows what treatments work to cure what ails the body! Nan has provided the most therapeutic therapy for the chronic lymph edema in my left leg. After a session with Nan followed with K taping the lymph edema in my leg is significantly resolved! I have seen Nan for headaches, plantar fascitis, and post athletic events and she always provides the best therapy!
