From the reviews

I recommend Gary to anyone who is looking for long term solutions and change. I have a lot of different issues which massage, PT, and chiropractic, alone could not solve. Gary is a pillar in my overall strategy for mobility, balance, and strength.

Gary is amazing! I've been seeing him once a month for at least 5 years and feel as though he's been a partner in caring for myself the whole time. His massages are fantastic but what really sets him apart is his knowledge of the body mechanics. He's like having a physical therapist and massage therapist in one.

★★★★★ — Jim, Apr 2023

Gary understands how to unwind and release the tension my body has held for years.I can not recommend him more than I do, he is kind, knowlegeable, and he helps my body make long-lasting, postive changes. My body is more comfortable and I can enjoy my physical lifestyle because of his work.

★★★★★ — Jens, Apr 2023

Gary is a magician! He has been taking care of my beat up body for many years, I cannot imagine going to anyone else for the quality of service Gary provides. As a powerlifter and a busy strength coach and mom, I need someone who knows their stuff and is a person I want to actually see every month.

Your first tai chi class at Integrative Arts

Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.

Tai chi is gentle and low-impact, but it's still exercise, and the health notes here are general information, not medical advice. If you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them to the instructor before class, and check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
