Darnell was excellent. He was very attentive to my needs and had a reason for every stretch he administered. I highly recommend him for your stretch needs.
I see Darnell regularly for Thai yoga massage and stretching, and I love it. He is very skilled at what he does. I feel so relaxed after our sessions - and my body always feels so much better. I often have back pain and seeing Darnell has been really helpful for that, especially during weeks when my back is achy. Absolutely recommend!
Darnell provided a great stretch during an introductory session with Stretch Lab at their new Pentagon City location. Besides the stretch, he educated me on areas of tightness and limited mobility in my body. He taught me how to improve these conditions and ultimately gain better mobility for a very active lifestyle. I’d definitely recommend his services to all types, be it sedentary or extremely active individuals.
I feel so good after working with Darnell !! I will definitely book again!
Very impressed with Darnell’s skills and personal interaction style! It was a therapeutic experience.
