All I can say is Socrates is the best! I see him once a week for my chronic aches and pains. He always listens to my complaints about where I hurt and I always leave feeling brand new. It's the little things that count such as wiping off the massage oil as best as he can once done, the stretching and aroma therapy when massaging your scalp. Don't be fooled by his size and kind face, Socrates has very powerful hands. The best deep tissue massage you will receive!
