Testimonials
I am an elderly woman who has been suffering for sometime from neck and shoulder pain
caused by everyday stress and the daily routine of life. At one point the pain was like a toothache
with very little relief. When Healing Hands opened in the same building I decided that I would
make an appointment and see if a massage would help. I can honestly say that after the first
appointment I felt relief and with each appointment thereafter, improvement. I am so glad I
scheduled my first appointment and highly recommend Healing Hands. - Mary, Malden, MA

I have been suffering from pain and discomfort in my hip as a result of a very serious injury that
occurred three years ago. I have tried physical therapy pain killers but they only provided
temporary relief. I tried Healing Hands, not knowing what to expect. Now I am feeling better than I
did before and with each visit my pain subsides. I highly recommend Healing Hands to anyone
who needs a healing touch. - Merlene, Malden, MA

When I came to Healing Hands Muscular Therapy I was recuperating from a pulled hamstring, a
pulled rhomboid muscle and a severely strained lower back . I was in a lot of pain and Rolando
was sure he could help. With pain shooting down my right leg, I limped into his office that first
day feeling a little pessimistic. I had spent the previous two months in physical therapy which
had no real positive effect on the pain. So even though Rolando promised he could help, I fully
expected to just receive a relaxing massage and then limp back to my car for the ride home.
When I arrived for my first appointment, Rolando spent several minutes with me so that he could
fully understand my needs and explain to me the several therapies he offered. He decided,
based on my symptoms that I would most benefit from neuromuscular therapy which would help
release the muscles causing the shooting pain down my right leg. This was not the relaxing
treatment I thought it would be but it was extremely effective. I was delighted to walk out of his
office, just 1 hour later, with no limp at all. On my next visit he gave me a deep tissue massage to
release the tightness in my rhomboids and both hamstring muscles. In less than two weeks I
began to feel like my old self again and now, less than three months later, I’m able to resume
kick-boxing, yoga classes, swimming, running and even weight lifting!
I've received several massages in my life but always believed that they were nothing more than a
great method of relaxation. But in just a few sessions at Healing Hands, I realized that these
treatments would be more like medicine. - Jeanne, Saugus, MA

I have been a patient of Rolando's for about six months, and he is a Godsend for me. Although
I'm only in my mid-20s, I had been living with chronic upper back and shoulder pain for more
than three years. I had seen doctors about it, been to other massage specialists, and even gone
in for sophisticated tests at the hospital. No one could tell me what was causing my pain, and
what's worse, no one could do anything to alleviate it for anything more than a day or two at a
time.
All that has changed thanks to Rolando and the neuromuscular massage technique that he has
used in my case. Honestly, I just stumbled onto Rolando's Healing Hands while doing a web
search for a reputable, local massage therapist. I was expecting the same thing that I had
experienced before: a very brief but very necessary relief from constant, movement-restricting
pain. What I have found instead is a dramatic improvement in my day-to-day pain, my ability to
perform strenuous physical activity, and even my own understanding of my anatomy and injury.
The neuromuscular technique is intense to undergo (in fact it can be quite painful), but it reduced
my pain significantly after just one session, and has kept it at a manageable and decreasing
level ever since.

Rolando is not only a talented healer, however. He really and trulycares about the impact of his
techniques on the lives and happiness of his patients. He is extremely knowledgeable, always
accommodating to my hectic schedule, and eager to work with me to ensure that we are on
the right track to solving the riddle of my messed-up, painful back. I have recommended him to
my friends and family, and now I recommend him to you, whether you need a serious solution to
chronic pain or just a wonderful, relaxing massage. - Max L., 24"
