Over the years I have experienced injuries related to sports and work. I am presently the Manager of a tennis club and the nature of my work is very physical. Consequently, my physical well-being is not only a desired condition of life, it is a practical necessity. I am very aware of my body and work diligently to maintain my health and fitness.
Patrick Lerouge has helped me enhance my physical well-being. He is a well informed practitioner of massage and neuro-pathic therapy. He is an engaged and caring healer. After working with Patrick, I have better flexibility and range of motion. I also sleep better at night - a very important payout from our therapy sessions. He has provided me with an expanded awareness of my physical limitations and with tools to assist my continuing at-home therapies. His services have been well-worth the price. Hats off to you, Patrick!

"I have been living with pain and muscle tightness in my shoulder, back and foot for months. Patrick has managed to help me pinpoint where on my body the problems are stemming from. His techniques have addressed the causes not just the symptoms. I am an avid racquet ball player and I am now more aware of my movement and muscle firing each time I play. As a Personal Trainer and Physical Therapist myself I will highly recommend Patrick and his intense knowledge and ability to my own clients."

"To work-out and compete at my potential; this is my goal. As a physician and mother of three, competing in triathlons has become a new passion of mine. That being said, my 49-year-old body doesn't always hold out the way it used to. As I began the rigorous training process for this endeavor, multiple ailments, from tendonitis to muscle strains, frequently impeded my progress. Then about 1and 1/2 years ago, my path to recovery lead me to Patrick. My triathalon training program has not been the same since.
The breadth and scope of Patrick's knowledge and abilities continue to impress me. Not only has he been able to help my body heal from various injuries, but he has also developed a stretching program for me to use to prevent injuries from occuring in the first place. With Patrick's help, I have been able to train and compete at a level that has surpassed my greatest expectations. Most importantly, I am able to participate in the sport that I love 'pain free'".

"I first met Patrick Lerouge when I was a volunteer fundraiser at a Multiple Sclerosis Walkathon and he was on-hand to offer massages to the walker participants. I've had major, injury-related back problems for 20+ years, and up until the time I met Patrick I had been living in a constant state of pain as a result of the trauma I had experienced. I'm in my early fifties and while I was always for the most part functional I had for many years required strong prescription medications to make the pain bearable, and was taking medication at the time we met. From a medical history perspective, on the one hand, MRI's and x-rays were unable to pinpoint definitive reasons for my pain, so that surgery, I was told, may or may not offer me relife and wasn't a suggested option due to the potential complications that could arise. On the other hand, other pain management options, including medication, physical therapy and chiropractic really hadn't been working for me and certainly were not offering me anywhere near the pain relief I had long hoped for. In some instances they made it definitively worse.
So there I was, on a beautiful spring afternoon, having just walked five miles, experiencing back pain, having never tried amssage or massage therapy, thinking, "Well, why not give this guy a try? The worst that could happen is that it doesn't give me any relief. And, who knows, it just might help."
I patiently waited my turn and we exchanged greetings. A consummate professional, Patrick inquired as to where my pain was, offered a thoughtful diagnosis and gave me a soothing massage focusing on my problem area, that is, my lower back. I stood up and I'll never forget how I felt: refreshed, rejuvenated, and relieved of a good deal of the pain I was experiencing that day. I remember thinking, "This masseuse could be the answer to my prayers." The last thing he said to me was, "I know I'll be hearing from you."
And he was right. I went home and explained to my wife that I had a tremendous sense of pain relief even after just a few minutes with Patrick. As he predicted, I called, made an appointment and paid him an office visit shortly after our chance meeting. Patrick took a detailed medical histroy as it related to my problem and explained his philosophy in approaching pain management and alleviating pain from his clients. One thing that I remember from the initial session that I hadn't explicitly heard from other health care professionals was that, as Patrick explained it, his massage therapy and follow up regimen would be completely focused on relieving pain and that he was adamant about never doing or suggesting anything that would cause pain to his clients. Negating pain and pain relief are his mantra. He instilled in me a sense that he knew what he was talking about and that he had compassion for what his clients experience on a day to day level. His main focus is on the well being of his clients and doing whatever it takes to help them overcome thier pain.
I've been visiting Patrick regularly for nine months now. I am absolutely thrilled at the progress we have made. He is an outstanding masseuse. After every session I walked away feeling like the proverbial milliion bucks. It's difficult to articulate the joy one feels as a result of successful pain relief, but I can honestly say that I feel as though I have a new lease on life. My prayers truly have been answered. I have not felt this good in over twenty years. I am off my prescription medications-I no longer need them. My long term, deep rooted back pain problems are now a thing of the past. With each passing month and each successful visit, I feel like a few giant strides closer to our mutual objective; a pain free existence. That's something I never expected that I would be able to say just twelve months ago. I can't recommend Patrick Lerouge highly enough to anyone looking for relief from chronic pain. In my book, he is a miracle worker."

"I came to Patrick seeking to ease anxious tensions in my mind that I also felt were stored in my muscles. Over a series of weeks, Patrick got to know my mind and body quite well, helping me locate tensions and then relax them. One feisty little knot in my mid-back comes back time and time again; Patrick helped that spot to release tension with a simple light touch, also releasing associated fears and anxieties. Patrick's approach bridges body and mind, helping me to re-center. Thanks for guiding me toward a healthier life!"

In my first few visits to Patrick, he would ask how I felt, and my answer was a consistent: "I feel pretty good". After having just two treatments with Patrick, I can honestly say, "I feel fantastic". As a result of the treatments, my life, as a whole, has improved dramatically. The day to day stresses of life no longer weigh me down. I am more focused, peaceful and my mind is less cluttered. In turn, this mental clarity helps me to focus on my physial body and be much more in tune with it. I highly recommend Patrick's services, especially his Dissolvement of Limitation treatment.

I swim, bike, and run 5 or 6 days a week and have often experienced stiffness or soreness, knots or aches in various parts of my body. Since I've been working with Patrick, the usual knots in my back and shoulders have disappeared. I've learned how to effectively stretch tight areas in order to stay pain free. Patrick has taught me how to "listen" more closely to my body in order to prevent injuries and heal myself.
My teenage dauaghter is a long distance runner and was experiencing sharp pain in her side for over 4 months. Doctors, coaches and trainers could not determine the cause of the pain nor recommend effective treatment. Finally, she agreed to see Patrick. Her pain diminished after each session with him, and by practicing the methods he recommended, after about 4 weeks the pain was gone and she was racing and practicing pain free.
THANK YOU PATRICK !!!!

I have worked with Patrick for the past 90 days and in that time experienced dramatic improvement in my physical fitness and overall health.
Before working with Patrick, I had worked with a number of other massage and physical therapists. Patrick's approach combines the best of both worlds and has lead to a dramatic decrease in muscle soreness and increase in post-race and workout recovery.
The three most significant improvements in my treatments have been an increase in range of motion, less soreness and recovery time and overall increase in my energy and fitness level.
If anyone would like to talk to me personally about the benefits of Patrick's treatments or techniques, I can be reached at (908) 403-4864 or at Thomas.p.cusimano@pfizer.com.

To Whom It May Concern:
Mr. Patrick Lerouge has worked in our office with our patients over the last four months. He has also worked personally with myself and my wife in treating our areas of chronic pain.
I have come to know Patrick quite well on a personal basis since his time of working in our office with both ourselves and our patients and I have found him to be an honest, upstanding young man with high moral standards and integrity.
Concerning his treatment of patients I believe his techniques work quite well. He is quite knowledgeable about the anatomy and pathological processes that occur in multiple orthopedic problems and have found him to be very useful in those patient's who have had chronic difficulties that have not been treated successful with physical therapy alone.
I would recommend him highly to work on your clients and also find him to be a compassionate, well-intentioned man of high integrity.
If you should have any questions concerning Patrick Lerouge, please feel free to contact my office.

Dear Dan (hotel manager),
I justed wanted to let you know that my husband and I just stayed at your hotel eariler this month and I had a life changing event there. My right shoulder has pained me for over 2 years now. I could not sleep well at night or lift things. I had multiple MRI's , etc. and physcial therapy done, but to no avail.
When I had a therapeutic massage from Patrick Lerouge my shoulder became pain free, truly. I am so grateful. He was wonderful and was the only one to finally help me. If I had known a year ago when we were there that he specializes in injures I would have loved to have seen him then. I truley recommend that you publish his fantastic work in the spa information, or ask guests if they need his expertise. He was amazing. Thank you for a pain free stay!!
Sincerely,
Susan Sherman
I have suffered from lower back pain for YEARS... and spending my hours at my desk meant things only got worse. I was at the point of considering surgery when I found Patrick. His techniques and skills are revolutionary! For the first time in years, I was pain free. The stretching and other techniques he taught me allow me to manage my condition at home. A miracle worker!

I first met Patrick at the gym. I had excruciating pain in my upper back that wouldn't go away and nobody could seem to help me. He started working on me and within one treatment it started to get better. He said he could really help to solve this ongoing problem so we continued treatment and soon it felt almost 100% better.
Now I can finally get back to the gym and exercise and do all the things that I used to do. I have found that if I don't continue treatment the pain can come back but as long as we keep to an easy schedule of treatments, I have very few problems and I can stay active.
I have also had some leg pain and numbness and tingling in my hands that Pat worked on and that has cleared up very well too. Not only do I feel less pain but I have much more energy, have an increased range of motion in my back and feel much happier about my ability to get back to my regular activity level.
Thanks for all your help Patrick.
Sincerely,

Dear Patrick,
Falling down my basement steps in my home I injured my shoulder. I was in servere pain and miserable. Over the counter pain medication brought no relief. I called Patrick Lerouge and scheduled a massage session with him. After Patrick's first treatment I was pain free for the rest of the day. What remained was a mild pain running down my arm. After his second treatment I was and reamin PAIN FREE. Patrick, thank you so much for helping me. You are an excellent and very knowledgeable therapist. I have recommended you to my friends and family and know that you will be able to help them out as much as you helped me.
