"I want to let you know that the Thai massage helped my knees tremendously. The following few days I felt better than I had in years and I continue to feel much better. I kept going up and down the stairs and yelling to my husband that it's amazing - I am not in pain! I will be back for a tune-up soon."
~ Stephanie E., Boston, MA
"The Thai massage was fantastic (been meaning to email you to let you know how great I feel). I have always had pain in my right shoulder. I couldn't even believe it...the pain is gone. I feel wonderful. Can't wait to come in for another massage. I will absolutely be making regular appointments."

~ Meredith D., Natick, MA

"The Thai massage definitely helped - I had a great pain-free run Saturday! That darn thing (Piriformis) tightened up a little after, but I have been pretty good about using the ball to make some space. So thank you for helping me out."
~ Emily C., Boston, MA

"It was a huge pleasure to meet you and experience the Thai massage/Neuromuscular therapy today. You can't imagine how inspirational and transformative an experience it was to me. (Yes, I truly mean it.) I appreciated all your effort and your suggestions to my knee problems. I will let my friends know about your service. Look forward to seeing you again!"
~ Sinie H., Cambridge, MA

"Slava is fantastic! I have had Thai massage before but his is a variation incorporating a lot of deep tissue. I've been having back and knee pain and now feel great. I love the muscular therapy which is great for those of us that work out/run/bike a ton. I highly recommend!"
~ Heather M., Newton, MA

"I bought a coupon for East West and decided to try something new - Thai massage. It was great! Lying down on a thin mattress on the floor felt grounding. Slava later explained to me that he combined several techniques to manipulate my limbs and release my tense muscles. Slava seems to be young but is obviously very knowledgeable. I feel wonderful during and after the massage. I'm definitely going back. Thanks, Slava!"
~ Evelyne D., Brookline, MA

"Thank YOU! I felt great. It definitely made a difference, especially in my shoulders and upper back. That area had been hurting for a while, but after my session with you, the pain was gone. I'll definitely be back."
~ Vanessa M., Franklin, MA


"I had a Thai massage with Slava, a new and excellent experience. The stretching/deep tissue massage felt great but also was diagnostic of areas to focus my everyday exercise."
~ Cathy F., Newton, MA

"I loved how I felt - my back didn't hurt when I coughed and sneezed!! It was great - I know u told me not to come too often but the way my back felt it's hard to stay away!!"
~ Deb M., Boston, MA

"Thanks, you might be meeting the whole family! I really enjoyed the Thai massage yesterday and have been feeling good all day! I just realized that I have not felt the need to "crack" my neck all day. That's really good!

It was interesting to notice how different I felt compared to the classic massage. After the Thai I felt taller, lighter and energetic. After a classic deep massage, I feel heavier and very relaxed. Both are nice- just surprisingly different."
~ Ellen V., Sign Language Interpreter, Newton, MA
"It was great having you work on me today, I enjoyed it while I was there BUT I ran to yoga tonight and my hips felt AMAZING full range of motion and my yoga practice was completely different :) THANK YOU I will be back!"
~ Stacey S., Kettlebell Instructor, Boston, MA

"I feel so much more open. I feel like I can write with less tenseness. And my scalp/head feels touched upon. Thanks for your words of outdoor yoga wisdom and barefootedness. Many thanks and I'll look forward to seeing you next week."
~ Cathy Jo C., La Jolla, CA

"I am an experienced bodyworker of 20 years. During this time I have tried and studied many modalities of health and healing. I believe Slava both as a yoga teacher, and bodywork practitioner, is of exceptional quality and presence. He offers the best kind of facilitation in health which is the kind in which you learn how to relax and breath enough so that your own healing currents and wisdom can move and restore yourself. Slava holds a very clear and present state which allows a deeper relaxation and inspiration to occur. I really think Slava is of Master quality and we are lucky to have him in the Boston area."
~ Stephanie M., Bodyworker, Waltham, MA

"Hi Slava,
though the massage was sometimes tough to take, you did an amazing job. Josh (my PT) couldn't get over how loose my shoulder was the next day in PT. Horray. Thank you!"
~ Wendy T., business owner, Wellesley, MA

"I started seeing Slava after elbow surgery knocked me out of my work out routine. That, plus a hectic summer, had also led to weight gain. We started with a Thai massage routine that supported rebooting my running program. Moving to the mat allowed for even better massage and stretching, and we are now incorporating yoga. The extra weight is gone, and the yoga in particular has helped me to maintain a solid exercise schedule. I encourage anyone looking for massage to try Slava's Thai massage. It has been especially beneficial to my joints. And the yoga is incredible. Having sustained my only sports related injury two years ago from a heated yoga class, I was nervous at first. But Slava's keen attention to form, and perfect pacing, make it a wonderful experience. I look forward to each and every time I come into the East West Body Therapy Studio!"
~ Kirsten S., Newton, MA

"I want to take this opportunity to Thank You! I have seen a tremendous improvement in my hip and shoulder after only two sessions. At the same time, the entire experience is so peaceful and relaxing that I will certainly continue to visit even when I am not experiencing the stiffness and pain. Your studio is like a mini oasis in my somewhat hectic life and I look forward to each and every visit! Namaste."
~ Carol S., Roslindale, MA

"Slava is very knowledgeable and strives to make you feel very relaxed and stress-free. He goes more than the extra-mile to help you feel great.

You deserve the praise. Most people are average at best at what they do at work and typically don't care about their work even if they own the business."
~ Jon H., Natick, MA

"Hi Ray,
I was just talking to my husband about how you had this same thing and how quickly I'm (finally) recovering. A massage guy joined our group. It's thai massage and shiatsu. I was in extreme pain for about a week and a half, and Slava came to our house and worked on me for about a half hour, and the increments that I've been feeling batter each day are incredible.
I'm not usually this enthusiastic about this sort of thing. Even though I'm in BNI, I'm not generally comfortable saying, "you've got to see this guy!" But, what can I say, it's pretty amazing. He focused in the the points from which the pain was emanating, and worked on releasing it.
His name is Slava and his email address is slavasurya@aol.com I can't find his phone number. It's probably at my office. Let me know if you'd like his number, or if you'd like him to call you.Feel better, Margie"
