"Leslie was extremely knowledgeable and personable throughout my appointment. She showed me ways to continue treatment of a severe neck strain on my own at home, and on day two, it has virtually disappeared. She also took time to give me advice on how to help my husband with a jaw injury. I am so glad to have found such a skilled professional in the area and will definitely be going back!" A.H.

Just what I needed! Her sensitivity to what needed the most work, and her knowledge of the muscles and how to release the tension was beyond my expectations. Thank you so much Leslie.

"From the moment I booked my appointment, it is apparent that Leslie's care and concern for her clients is a top priority.

"I was recommended to Leslie and Energy in Motion from my Chiropractor to help with chronic pain and inflammation. I had tried several different massage therapists for my condition and was skeptical, but she came highly recommended by my doctor. Leslie's expertise and knowledge in massage therapy is beyond reproach. She is professional and personable. Her skill and technique's succeeded in moving my body out of its chronic pain and inflammation where others could not. I no longer need an appointment for a chronic condition, I now set my appointments to "just feel better" :) !!" Sharon Hicklin - Los Osos

"Leslie Cotham is an exceptional healthcare provider. Massage therapy is an integral and regular part of my health care maintenance and Leslie is the best I have encountered (and I have had massages for more than 20 years). Her expertise and knowledge in massage has helped reduce my stress level, healed my sports injuries faster and slowed my brain down for an hour and a half of bliss (no thinking) while relaxing to soothing music. Leslie Cotham is caring and attentive and I highly recommend her as a massage therapist and a regular health care provider." Heather Hellman, Get Off The Couch Potato Sports Productions - San Luis Obispo
"After training for seven days in San Luis Obispo and covering 475 miles on a bike up some of the most horrific mountain climbs you will see, there was only one person in town who was capable of getting me prepared for the next day's ride, Leslie Cotham. If you appreciate your fitness and train 2-3 times a week or are an extreme serious trainer, Leslie's knowledge, experience and skill at managing the energy systems through massage recovery is what you need to add to your workout recovery regimen. Her work single handedly allowed me to train to my limit every single day during my stay at San Luis Obispo. Ask her to help you with your weak spots and she will deliver."

I started seeing you after recovering from shingles and decided that the massage I received had made such a difference to my general well-being that regular, and ongoing massage appointments seemed like a relaxing and beneficial way to stay healthy.

I recommend you to all my friends - just make sure you still have time to see me as a regular and very satisfied client."
