It was easy to find the general location and there is free parking, but it took me a minute to locate the office on the second floor of the complex (fortunately, Raleigh was outside and flagged me down right away). Once inside, I filled out all the forms, described my trouble areas (none really - I just wanted a nice massage), and played with the adorable office dog.
My massage room was nice and clean and less like a spa than some places (which is fine because this place is really more about treatment and therapy than aromatherapy and candles). The setting was still relaxing.
My massage was really great. It was a pretty deep tissue massage (although I could have asked him to adjust the pressure if I wanted - but why?) and incorporated use of the hot stones, which I find to be very relaxing. It was also very much like a sports massage - my sore muscle areas were worked intensively, and I was twisted, contorted and stretched. When I got in, Raleigh told me to undress to my comfort level (like most places do) and I did, but I'm pretty sure there is nothing about me now that he hasn't seen. And, my boobs popped out a few times. But, whatever - he's very professional and I figure he's seen it all before.
His normal rate for massages and therapies is $80 an hour and I think that's very reasonable. I would definitely return when I want to get a therapeutic massage and actually get work done to make me feel good." January 11, 2011 - Katie W. [Yelp]
"So visiting in-laws for Thanksgiving, the ONLY time I see them and what happens I pull my freaking back. I couldn't move for 6 hours. So embarrassing and also the day before Thanksgiving!
Raleigh came to the rescue. His professionalism and caring were remarkable. He listened to me as I tried to explain where the pain was. I seriously could not have walked without his 3 hour massage. SO AMAZING, he's an angel. I wish I lived in Atlanta so I could get a massage from him regularly." December 2, 2010 - N. Movassaghi (Sacramento, CA) - [Yelp]

“This correspondence is in recommendation of RPM Muscular Therapies Clinic LLC and Mr. Raleigh McKeever. Raleigh McKeever provides excellent service at RPM Muscular Therapies Clinic. I first became acquainted with Raleigh while a member at a local gym. After several years out of contact, he reached out to me, knowing my passion for fitness, to market his services as a muscle therapist. Mr. McKeever willing set an appointment that was amenable to my hectic schedule, giving detailed directions to the clinic, which is immaculate. He is an expert in his field; he was able to "diagnose" issues with stress, posture, and even errors in my workout technique, simply by touching certain muscle groups. He is consistently respectful of his clients and their physical as well as emotional comfort level throughout the session, mindful of any apprehensions or anxieties. Without reservation, I recommend Raleigh McKeever and RPM Muscular Therapies Clinic LLC to my clients, and to anyone from the weekend athlete, to the "gym rat", to the professional athlete, to those suffering from muscular damage and stress issues.” November 20, 2008 - M' R K.

“I first met Raleigh when he was a student at the Academy of Somatic Healing Arts and I was an instructor there. I have since received his work as a client. I found him to be knowledgeable, dependable and effective. I went to his office stiff and sore and left there feeling wonderful, loose and balanced. I have since moved out of state, but if he lived closer to me, I would see him regularly.” January 11, 2008 - P. Hauser, RN, LMBT - [LinkedIn]

“For more than three years I have been one of Raleigh's clients. He is a complete professional with a focus on the needs of his clients, not the clock on the wall. He takes on problem muscles like a personal challenge, with the know-how to get to the source of the issue, which is often outside the immediate area of soreness. For therapeutic and often intense muscle work, I highly recommend him.” January 17, 2008 - R. Pedersen - [LinkedIn]
“I have found Raleigh to be diligent in every aspect of my dealing with him. He worked for me in the student clinic, in a role where he was meeting-greeting clients, managing money, inputting data on the computer, where chaos was frequently the norm. He managed it all unflappably. Later, I have seen Raleigh as his client. His work for very intuitive, thorough, and absolutely effective. I absolutely recommend Raleigh's bodywork for anyone who wants to be in balance in their body and thrive.” March 31, 2008 - P. Hauser - [LinkedIn]

“Raleigh's massage therapy is in contrast to treatment received from the typical spa, as his treatment has actually helped correct muscle related problems that cause symptoms from headache to lower back discomfort. Due to playing a snare drum in a marching drum section, there are various nagging aches and discomforts that I may experience, as playing drums in that respect is a really athletic endeavor. His treatment allows me to perform in ways that can match and even surpass ways that I performed as a teenager. This is due to a combination of the massage therapy keeping me limber, being double-jointed : ), being stronger than I was as a teenager and keeping an at least decent workout regimen. Raleigh's excellent and detailed therapy complements my Chiropractic therapy. Raleigh addresses areas and includes stretching in ways that the typical spa therapist does not attempt to cover.” October 29, 2007 - C.L. McGee - [LinkedIn]
