Diane Vechiarelli

I am a 59 year man who is a regular client of Diane Vecchiarelli. Thanks to her massages, I am able to play tennis and or golf every day without pain, soreness, or advil!

I am a firm believer that massage keeps you young and strong and able to stay fit as you get older. Also, I feel it keeps the minor nagging injuries away. Diane can really get into your mussels and keep them in tip top shape.

The work Diane has been doing for me in helping me manage my migraines and teaching me about the potential neuromuscular connections to the headaches has really helped me in finding relief. She works hard find to the best solutions for her clients through her experience and knowledge. I’m feel lucky to have found her for my therapy.

Diane has been a tremendous asset to my running program. I was training for my first marathon when I started seeing Diane. As the miles started increasing, so did the tightness and pain associated with all those extra miles. Diane helped to alleviate all that stress and keep my muscles feeling elongated so I could focus on seeing my training plan out. Now I could not imagine training for a marathon without her as an integral part of my preparation.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Diane for the last two years. My first impressions of her had to do with the incredible level of professionalism and knowledge that she displayed to me. Diane quickly identified my problem areas and explained exactly how she was going to address them. Over time i have also learned that she continues to enhance her level of education through additional readings, classwork and seminars along with maintaining her membership in her professional organization.

Diane’s excellence in her clinical approach is complimented by her wonderful ‘tableside’ manner. Diane is a warm and caring individual and has a unique ability to create a safe and comfortable environment. I would not hesitate to recommend Diane’s services to anyone and have, in fact, referred many of my friends to her.

The arthritis in my neck had gotten so painful I was having trouble moving my head and I had a terrible shooting pain in my right arm. The pain meds were tearing up my stomach but the pain was so intense I couldn’t work without taking something. My doctor suggested I see Diane. The only massage I had ever had, was in a spa and a little too “new age” for my taste. But I thought what the heck, ‘’ve got nothing to lose. Diane was more like seeing a doctor or a physical therapist. Within a few sessions I was much improved and back on the computer for hours at a time. I try to see Diane once a week or every ten days. If I miss too many weeks my neck gets stiff as a board and I start having trouble working. I’ve even started painting, something I wouldn’t be able to do if my neck and shoulder were hurting!

For many years I have relied on neuromuscular massage therapists to relieve my muscle pain and tightness. While some were very good, none approached Diane’s effectiveness. Talented, strong, considerate and conscientious, Diane identifies and attacks the problem areas and diligently works to produce long lasting results. Not only has she alleviated my muscle pain, but she has also helped to restore long lost flexibility and range of motion. I would highly recommend Diane to anyone in need of neuromuscular massage therapy.

When you meet Diane you will quickly see that she has a true love for her profession.

Both her love and enthusiasm for massage, compliment her dedication and extensive knowledge of the art. On every visit, Diane finds which muscles are tight and need extra attention, and she is able to make the tightness disappear. Also, I find that going to Diane’s is much nicer than going to your typical massage chain because her place is warm and comforting, and she remembers the needs of each client. I can’t recommend Diane enough. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with her, your body will THANK YOU.

Diane has proven to be very beneficial to my overall health through her deep tissue massage therapy in two primary ways. First by relieving the work-related stress and tension in my neck and shoulders. And second by addressing exercise related injuries in my back and legs as I attempt to push my almost 50 year old body to stay in shape. She has become a very welcome and needed ritual in my weekly routine.

— Vic Riden

I am delighted to describe my experience with Diane because she is the most professional, experienced, and truly gifted massage therapist I have ever worked with. After many years as a psychotherapist, and consumer of massage, I recognize high quality health support. Diane manages to be focused and strategic while being very kind and gentle.

I think working with Diane has helped me develop a better body image, gradually losing weight I had gained in response to a chronic arthritis. As she helps me reduce my pain I am in touch with over all well being and am eating well and increasing my exercise.

Diane is thoughtful, loving, and has a great sense of humor. My whole family appreciates Diane’s help and I have great confidence in her.

I first went to Diane Vecchiarelli two years ago after an automobile accident when someone ran into the back of my car, resulting in what my doctor referred to as a whiplash. Diane’s neuromuscular massage treatment for my neck and back injury was amazing. I was in excruciating pain, and her therapy made possible for me to continue my professional responsibilities.

I continue to use her neuromuscular massage therapy for maintenance for the normal stress and strain on my body — I’m 75 years old . I recently went through a knee replacement, and found this neuromuscular massage of benefit for the challenges of hospital stay and adjustment after surgery recovery.

I highly recommend Diane to anyone who is in pain!

Diane has been a godsend to me especially in improving the problems I experience with my neck and shoulders. Compared to other neuromuscular therapists I have been to in the past, Diane is focused and committed to making the most of each session. She targets the areas that need the most attention and then uses the right mix of power and focus, always with great concern for my comfort.

Diane’s heart is present in her work and each session I benefit from her desire to give her best. I would recommend her without reservation.

I first went to Diane Vecchiarelli three years ago after our office moved from one floor to the next in the building where she worked with physicians. I had an automobile accident 25 years ago, and at that time after many treatments by doctors and chiropractors finally found a neuromuscular massage therapist that relieved my pain — after 2 years of excruciating pain.

After this past experience, I was delighted to find someone in my office building that was a neuromuscular massage therapist — and Diane is the best I have ever been fortunate to have work with me — I have been treated by 6 or 7 people over the past years.

Diane worked with me through this injury, and continues to work with me through many other challenges over the years. I’m just fortunate for her help and benefit in my health care.

I also have a bed & breakfast in Inman Park and refer her to guests. Please feel free to call me if you would like to talk about my wonderful experience with her neuromuscular massage therapy!

I have been going to Diane for several years now for my upper back problem. Diane has great credentials but what set her apart from other massage therapists is her knowledge of human muscles; she is able to find my problem spots right a way and work it. She is strong and really gets deep in the muscles where needs it. No one else that has worked on me in the past was able to do that. It’s like scratching an itch that you are finally able to reach. She is great, I recommended her to all my friends.

— Alison

Diane has been my massage therapist since I had an automobile accident in 2004. Diane’s massages were crucial to my physical rehabilitation, and I have been a client ever since. Regular massage therapy has been important to my physical well-being, and Diane is simply an excellent therapist.

After years of minor sports injuries I began to notice a loss of flexibility and motion, which affected my quality of life. Doctors offered evasive exploratory surgery with no assurance, and Diane offered massage therapy as an alternative.

The effects have been overwhelming, as I am well on my way to regaining both my flexibility and range of motion. This was the right decision and my only regret is that I did not make it years earlier. Diane put together a great program and has helped me achieve my goals. I recommend Diane to anyone who has considered massage therapy in an effort to improve their quality of life.

— Kent Goff

I have been a client of Diane Vecchiarelli for several years now. I find my visits to her very relaxing and soothing not to mention how much better I feel when I leave. Diane’s knowledge of the names of the muscles and the role they play in the human body helps me understand why I have pain and how she relieves the pain. Diane also knows the right amount of pressure to apply to get the “kinks” out as well as helps me to relax. I also find myself being much healthier and if I do get sick, I have a milder illness. Diane listens to me when I tell her about where I hurt or what I did to acquire the pain and then she goes right to work to help relieve the pain.

I love my visits to Diane!!

I have been Diane’s client for over three years. During that time, I have had eight significant surgeries, including a complete non-laparoscopic hysterectomy, a bilateral mastectomy, and breast reconstruction. Diane has made an enormous difference in my ability to recover — mentally and physically — from these surgeries. Even when I was physically unable to climb up on the massage table, Diane found creative ways to work on me and to keep any long-term negative effects of these surgeries at bay. Throughout my treatment for breast cancer, Diane’s great work has vastly improved my overall health and quality of life, and she deserves a good measure of the credit for my excellent health and well-being just a couple of months past my last reconstructive surgery. Diane is a consummate professional, is thoroughly knowledgeable about her work, and always puts the needs and comfort of her clients first. I simply could not recommend anyone more highly.

I began seeing Diane about two years ago for shoulder and neck pain and she has greatly improved my quality of life. My back pain began in adolescence due to poor posture and a large chest. When I first met Diane I was in Physical Therapy for the pain and on the verge of scheduling breast reduction surgery per the advice of my Physician. Within several weeks of seeing her, my pain was reduced dramatically and the flexibility and range of motion in my neck were almost back to a normal range. I stopped taking Ibuprofen on a daily basis and no longer have flare ups that require muscle relaxers and ice. I have also elected not to have the reduction surgery because my pain is now manageable.

I have seen many massage therapists over the years and Diane is hands down the best I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. She has extensive knowledge of anatomy and an intuition for which muscles are causing the problem — she uses both to provide immediate and long lasting relief. Diane is always thinking strategically about providing a long term solution for muscle problems.

On top of all this, I must say that Diane is a truly wonderful person who I am privileged to know. She is passionate about her work and genuinely concerned about others. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking relief for muscle pain and tension.
