David Berkson is a nationally certified massage therapist (NCBTMB) with over 6,000 hours of experience. He specializes in myofascial release therapy and meridian therapy. Myofascial release therapy unlocks and releases joint and muscular pain through stretching and manipulating the body's fascia, tendons, and ligaments.
This outer fascia encapsulates a majority of the nerves and sense receptors. Meridian therapy connects and releases of the body's neurological energy lines. These techniques also increase general flexibility throughout the entire body. David's unique style of blending both eastern and western techniques takes his clients to a wonderful place of balance, which allows the body to regain a state of homeostasis.

Massage therapy is a relaxing activity that involves the systematic application of pressure at key points of the body along with stretching certain muscles in a period lasting a few minutes to two or more hours. Many who have had this service say that there is no better way to achieve a sense of physical peace than a professional massage.
Therapeutic bodywork is a type of massage therapy that can eliminate pain and stress in the body. A popular type of therapeutic bodywork we offer is the Swedish massage, a reliable mainstay with a long history of usage. This type of relaxation massage is known as the "classic" type in many parts of the world, this variety uses a series of specialized strokes to relax the patient.
Before looking at the specific techniques that make up a Chakra Balancing Massage, it is important to first explore (or review) the chakras, an essential part of the 5,000-year-old system of ayurveda that originated in ancient India. The chakra system is an energy system we can use for personal growth.
Swedish massage therapy is the modality that comes to mind when most people think about massage. As the best-known type of bodywork performed today, one of the primary goals of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart.
A sports massage is a type of therapy geared toward athletes and the particular stresses they place on their bodies. A sports-massage therapist is trained in applying techniques to help prevent injuries, to prepare the body for athletic activity and maintain it in optimal condition, and to help athletes recover from workouts and injuries.

Absolutely the best therapeutic massage treatment I've had, and I'm no amateur. David's skill in reading your body, and the connectivity to your mind is unbelievable. He is well educated in all faceted dynamics of our bodies, mind, and soul. His conversation was enlightening, and helpful in your body physically releasing the knots away. Even without his fascinating insight, his physical massage technique alone is absolutely outstanding.

I had a bad collision on Ajax the day before. Really rocked my entire right side. Woke up so stiff and sore. David came to me at my condo for ease. Firstly, his table was very comfortable. Secondly, he really evaluated my frame and what was going on before beginning. Lastly and most importantly he spent 2 hours working through my muscles. He made it possible for me to continue my vacation. I will definitely use him everytime I'm in the valley.

Last week I flew into Aspen and needed to get body work right away because of a back issue. I got incredibly lucky stumbling upon David. He was flexible and accommodating with his and my schedule.
He took the time to evaluate my body and figure out what was going on. He really didn't need me to tell him what was happening he figured it out. Every now and then you find a healer that knows the body SO well you question all of the other massage and body work you have done in the past.
Looking forward to seeing him again when I'm back in town.

David is a very talented massage therapist. He is well versed in relaxation massage and sports massage. I'm quite active and prefer deep tissue/sports massage. David is extremely thorough in determining the areas that need special attention and then works extensively on those areas. David is very professional, responsive, communicative, and willing to respond to your specific needs and he really knows his anatomy. He's got a great technique, strong, soft hands which is such a plus for deep tissue massage. His background music is just perfect. David also took the time to call me the following day

Dave always does an amazing job. This is not your "normal massage". First, he is deeply intuitive and therefore can navigate physical/emotional/spiritual blockages simultaneously. Second, he is deeply knowledgeable on the human anatomy (as opposed to offering you a relaxing stroke, he is offering you an intentionally healing stroke). And third, he utilizes a few special tools to assist in the work (think: super vibrating plate type thing boxers use during breaks). Finally, even his music choices make the experience special. All in all, the best massage in Aspen and you don't even have to leave

I was on vacation in Aspen, and looked up David. The experience was wonderful! He integrates his training and experience in several disciplines to assist in unifying the chakra energies flowing through the body, and also applies training in physical therapy, sports massage, and tissue manipulation for a truly restorative and unique experience! I highly recommend him!
