I've been going to Chris for massages for 3+ years. He is an amazing massage therapist and works really hard to make sure you are feeling better by the time you leave. He is very reasonable and can usually get you in the same day! He is professional and very easy to talk to. I very highly recommend Chris!!

Chris is an excellent masseur. By asking for feedback during the massage he was able to loosen up the areas that other massage therapists haven't. I will definitely be going back.

I am so pleased with the massage I got yesterday! I was suffering from a tension headache/migraine and Chris worked on the key spots to "Loosen Me Up"! I couldn't be happier! Thank you again.

Chris got me in with super short notice (1hr) for my lower back pain! He found knots that I didn't even know I had! Very professional, relaxing atmosphere, and super reasonable! Would recommend to anyone!

Hands down; best massage I've ever received! Chris was very professional, and he even rearranged his schedule on a Sunday afternoon with only a two hour heads up. I appreciated that a ton! I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else for a massage. 5 stars for Loosen Up Therapeutic Massage!

Absolutely the best massage I have ever had! Chris is the best. He was able to get me in to be seen on short notice at a time that worked for my schedule. I was really tense and had less range of motion in my neck. He worked all the right areas, released the tension in my back, and my neck feels so much better! Thank you Chris! I will definitely be going back to see him again.

Chris does an awesome job getting the knots out. I've had many massages instate and out and he is by far the best and very professional. I come out ready to face the world when he's done.

What a relief to find Loosen Up and Chris Hapka (@Elite 24 Hr Health Club). He was able to give both my husband and myself 90 minute massages during our trip to Fargo. Amazingly, this treatment gave my husband free movementin his shoulder without the intense pain hes had since a firefighting injury six months ago. While hes had assorted treatments over the winter back home, Chris finally managed to release the tension giving him greater movement and hope for recovery! Thanks Chris! I also had a lovely massage, and heartily recommend Chris, as an intuitive, strong and skilled massage therapist.
