I have seen Rex now for a multitude of issues: from tight back, arms, legs and neck and shoulders. He is amazing at getting to the root of the problem by doing deep tissue work and a variety of methods like cupping and fascia work. As a physical therapist myself and who stays active, lifting a lot, I rely of practitioners like Rex to keep my own body functioning their best. This is my second review for The Body Mechanic, the first being a review for the owner, Daniel, who is also amazing.

I have been a loyal client of Daniel's since he opened The Body Mechanic several years ago..His massage surpasses all expectations. If he was applying pressure in one area, his other hand was providing a sense of soothing flow. His remarkable massage skill and kind demeanor inspires trust. He has given me some helpful recommendations for follow-up self-care. On Daniel's recommendation, I gave Rex Nichols a try a year or so ago, and I am now also his loyal client. I find Rex to be a genius/savant at massage. He is indefatigable in finding ways to free up my body. He has even done research on my issues outside of our sessions. How great is that! Both Daniel and Rex are treasures! Jeff

So i was recommended to try the Body Mechanic in bellingham by my chiropractor. 100% amazing . You can tell the difference between people who take pride in thier work. Very professional, knowledgeable, and one of my best massage experiences. I will be setting up a regular schedule with this place. BTW got the deep tissue massage.

I've had many massages in my life and Daniel gave likely the best deep tissue massage I've ever had. I have tendonitis in my right hip, and pinched nerves in my neck that was radiating down both arms. Daniel listens well and has a special touch that was both healing/soothing and digs deep. I felt like a new person after my massage yesterday and today was able to run pain free, and most of the numbness in my arms is gone. Daniel is most professional and a very kind person. Thank you Daniel!

If you’re looking for the best deep tissue massage ever in a professional and welcoming environment, Daniel and Rex are your guys! My body is an incredibly fickle beast as far as musculoskeletal issues and managing chronic pain, but I am so glad I found these two because coming to the Body Mechanic has become essential to my pain management routine. Daniel and Rex both have such a wealth of knowledge and experience in massage, especially working on folks who have complicated conditions that cause muscular and joint pain. They are both so incredibly kind, attentive, and take extra care to really listen to their patients concerns and needs before, during, and after each massage. Rex even explains to me during my massages what part of the body he’s working on and what the issue is which has helped me better understand what causes my pain flare-ups. He also offers advice on stretches that may help me manage pain in those areas in between my appointments with them. Their office is tranquil and private. You can really tell that they are passionate about what they do and truly care deeply for their patients. I highly recommend them to anyone locally who is seeking exceptionally talented massage therapists.

Daniel provided me with a much needed, personally tailored, amazing massage. He listened to my needs and was communicative during my massage to ensure I was having the best experience. His touch was the perfect balance of hard pressure when I needed it and relaxation throughout. I highly recommend getting a massage at The Body Mechanic. Daniel is a talented professional and I look forward to seeing him again. Thanks Daniel!

Just received a 90 minute deep tissue massage from Daniel, and it was easily one of the best massages I have ever received. As a former athlete with plenty of orthopedic issues, I am no stranger to therapeutic massage, so I can confidently say that Daniel really knows what he is doing. The deep tissue massage was very precise and targeted, while also being quite relaxing in the moment. Daniel was also very communicative, friendly, and respectful—all of which are also important qualities to me in a massage therapist. Will definitely be back!

I had a wonderful experience with Daniel as a massage practitioner. He was very attentive to my preferences and helped create a comfortable environment. I am someone who usually prefers a lot of pressure and Daniel did an awesome job of checking in and ensuring it was the right amount. I experienced the hot stones, which I would highly recommend. I found it deepened my ability to relax. Will definitely be returning :)

Daniel is a gifted and intuitive massage therapist. His deep tissue techniques worked really well for my body and I'm feeling so much better after just one session! Daniel was professional and communicative, and I felt comfortable in his presence. And the massage room itself was very comfortable and soothing! All in all, 5 star experience and looking forward to seeing Daniel regularly for massage.

Daniel was great! One of the best massages I've had in a while! He's the person to go see if you want a good deep tissue massage. Super professional. Spent time to address the issue areas I had mentioned before the massage.

A lot can be said about a person when fellow professionals and patients leave Daniel’s studio and rave at how good they feel. I have worked with Daniel for about 8 months now and have sent him patients from my practice as a physical therapist and they’ve always been very satisfied with their experience. Daniel is very good with deep tissue work not only with the athletic population but also for those who can handle deep medical grade massage. You will be impressed with Daniel.

I received a massage from Daniel yesterday. Daniel has many good qualities...kind, knowledgeable, strong, and professional. He double checked on me when I wasn’t sure if I was registered. His space was nicely done...loved the heated table:). I was impressed with his ability to quickly find my tight areas and address them. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed and he is a body mechanic!:). Thanks Daniel for your hard work. I wish you great success and look forward to seeing you again!

Daniel is a very professional and intuitive therapist who provides incredible service. He is able to listen and meet specific needs without being over communicative, which allows for real relaxation. I was highly impressed by his ability to apply the perfect amount of pressure to fit my needs, and I felt balanced and free of aches and pains for a long time after my appointment with him. I highly recommend giving The Body Mechanic a try.

I've been trying to find some relief from my chronic aches and pains as I'm a full-time landscaper when my coworker suggested The Body Mechanic. I'm usually pretty hesitant to spend money on things like massage or PT, but it was time. I was really impressed with the experience! Daniel is an excellent massage therapist who takes his time to listen to your needs and makes sure you walk out feeling better than when you first came in. He's an excellent communicator and provided a professional experience at an affordable cost. Plus, he's great to talk to! I'm looking forward to another appointment soon. I highly recommend his service!

Daniel is a delight! Anyone would do very well to consider coming in and allowing Daniel's expertise and professionalism to bring healing to their bodies. I am a female senior citizen, who has not allowed a gentleman to give her massage in over 20 years. When I perused Daniel's website, I felt such peace within my heart and spirit.....it was exactly the same when I met him. He is so kind and gentle of spirit and soul. He's extremely professional and gives an excellent massage, listening to what you want from him and goes deep into those challenging areas of the body which can give you grief. Daniel is a Gem of a soul, you can trust him and you will leave floating, after he has worked on your body! I plan to keep going back!
