Shashi was great. He explained areas of the body before working on them. And the massage actually helps my issue.

I’ve had 2 appointments with Shashi for lower back and hip pain, as well as plantar fasciitis. He is very smart about musculature, tendons, etc and spends a lot of time listening and asking questions so he understands what is needed. The massage was great and he gave me additional exercises to do that were more helpful than the ones the physical therapist had given me. He is professional and kind. I plan to schedule with him again.

Shashi enjoys talking. He loves talking about how great he is constantly. Every session he told me how far his clients drive to see him and that he has several celebrity clients and other massage therapists call him for advice. I got tired of hearing how great he is. Also, I didn't like how he talked specifics about all of his clients--everything but their names. And during my last session he was teasing me and kept going on with the teasing when I asked him to stop. A 65-year-old man should know that when a woman asks you to stop teasing should stop, but instead he kept going on and on and on. I ended up leaving there in tears. He was inappropriate and never apologized! Too big of an ego I guess!!!!

Shashi helps my back pain so much! I feel like a new person after experiencing his work. Truly a massage master!

Shashi is AMAZING!! His customer service is exceptional. He doesn’t just give you a massage, he also provides you with a detailed explanation on his massage process and answers any questions you may have. I highly recommend him for your next massage.

Shashi is amazing! The education you receive is so informative and he is great at what he does!

I have suffered from neck stiffness (computer work all day) and TMJ for years. I didn’t realize how uncomfortable I really was until I went to Shashi and he relieved so much of my tension and pain. He will take time to understand and educate you on what is going on with your body. I plan to be a long term client because the relief I get from Shashi and his medical massage is better than anything else I’ve found.

I learned so much duringy massage. The first 15 minutes we talked about my pain and he assessed my movement. The massage was broken into two parts, 1 in a chair and 1 on the table. I walked away feeling so much better and learning a lot more about my body. He genuinely cared that I learn and he was great at making sure I was comfortable. I will definitely go back!

Feb 06, 2023

Shashi is the first person to give a massage that actually works! I do a lot of sports and get sore all the time. This is the first message I ever had that actually makes me feel better. All the other massages have been relaxing but haven't produced any results. This actually gets results. I feel so much better and feel long term effects. Shashi is really good at identifying trouble areas and listening to his clients. I highly recommend!

Feb 06, 2023

Shashi was wonderful! I woke up with a very stiff and painful neck on the day that I was supposed to attend a wedding (and I was planning on doing lots of dancing!) Shashi gave me one of the best massages I ever had and my neck felt SO much better. I danced for hours with no problem. Shashi also seemed like a very lovely man and I very much enjoyed talking to him. Thank you, Shashi!

Feb 06, 2023

There is no one better than Shashi for lymphatic drainage massage. Very important to have after having any kind of surgical procedure to the body.

Feb 06, 2023

This person was very rude. He also told me he wasn't going to give me an invoice or a receipt of his massage services bc he didn't wanted me to use that information to file a reimbursement with my insurance (even when my insurance told me I could file for a reimbursement myself, i jist needed the payment receipt) or to do my taxes...What's going on with this guy?? Not recommended

Feb 06, 2022

I have issues with nerves within my back, neck and shoulder area, Dr. Shashi was very knowledgeable and truly cared about my problems. I would highly recommend.

Feb 06, 2022

Not at all your typical massage. Mr. Shashi is very knowledgeable. Amazing on dealing with the source of pain.

Feb 06, 2022

I had a lower back injury and Shashi's work was excellent in decreasing the pain & stiffness I experienced. He explained the what/how/why of his chosen methods of treatment for my specific condition very clearly, which made me feel that I was a part of the healing process instead of being confused about what was happening & why. Very knowledgeable & very communicative. I am moving away unfortunately, so I will not be able to continue treatment here, but this has demonstrated to me the benefits of Medical Massages for healing & I will certainly continue this process as soon as I can. Thank you, Shashi!

Feb 06, 2022

If you have pain or discomfort I would highly recommend visiting Mr. Shashi. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the muscles and nerves in the body, and clearly communicates what specific nerve or muscle he is going to work on. Every time I have visited Mr Shashi I have left with less pain and more knowledge about what the cause is so I can prevent it from coming back.

Dr Shashi has helped my son's recovery from several injuries due to wrestling and football. He explains the anatomy of the muscles and nerves around the painful areas and the techniques he uses to help the tissues to heal. He came highly recommended from a wrestling family friend and we are so glad we got introduced to him!

Feb 06, 2021

Dr Shashi is nothing mess than AMAZING ! He is very informative when it comes to making sure his patients are educated on his services . I personally go for lymphatic drainage massages (post op) and he has made my recovery go by faster than initially intended . I look forward to going and leave feeling much better than I did upon arrival ! He also gave me numerous tips on how to care for myself at home and pain management . I wish every doctor was this awesome with his patients!!! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking medical massages !

Extremely helpful in relieving the strain and pain on the left shoulder/neck/back area.

Feb 06, 2020

Ahhh, no. This is not a professional establishment. Go at your own risk. Highlights: 1.) Office building that does not appear to have handicap access (not sure on this one) 2.) His place of business is a room (which was locked upon my arrival) 3.) Room is dilapidated: pop up ceiling was all over the place, dust, AC unit out of wall held up by duct tape 4.) Asked him to turn down the air because it was freezing. his response and I quote, "the temperature in the room has to be fit so I can work." It was freezing. All the positive reviews on google are dubious.

Feb 06, 2020

Best in town for lymphatic massage!! If you are looking for someone that will change the way your body feels call wake medical massage. I just had surgery and after the first three massages my swelling went down drastically. I am so grateful to him and I highly recommend his services.

Feb 06, 2020

Everything was explained to me before and after my session, including why my shoulders were contributing to finger numbness. I've never had such an effective massage for pain. I highly recommend Wake Medical Massage.

I am an avid weight lifter (15+ years) and I have been suffering from some very bad tennis elbow for 9 of the last 12 months. It has limited my ability to do a lot of movements and even to pick a weight plate up one handed to load on the bar. Any time I had to turn a door knob , shake hands, or really any type of movement that required grip I couldn't. The pain was incapacitating. I saw orthopedic Doctors, had rehab, dry needling, acupuncture, many massages and nothing eased the pain. I found Wake Medical Massage on-line and read the reviews. I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. The first visit I was diagnosed, shown on charts what the issue was and how we would go about treating it. I was given a massage, then given some very detailed stretches to do 3 times a day. After my first appointment my arm was better 5 out of the 7 days. I went back for a follow up the next week and after that massage my arm was better 14 out of 16 days. When I say better, I mean I can lift weights as heavy as I want, do Jui-Jitsu 5 days a week, turn door knobs, shake hands, no issues. I had my 3rd appointment today and I will continue to go when I need tune ups. Shashi cares about your well being and his goal is to help you treat yourself in the long run. I have had over 50 different massage therapist work on me in my life and I can say without a doubt Shashi uses techniques I have never had done before. Whatever they are, they work!

I broke my thumb while spending the summer in NC. The break resulted in inflammation that caused severe thumb/wrist pain and immobility. Hand surgeons, cortisone shots, icing, Prednisone, Ibuprofen, Mobic, regular massage, natural anti-inflammatories--I tried all of these things, but the pain and severely restricted movement continued. When I went to Shashi, I could barely bend my wrist or move my thumb because the inflammation was so severe. After three months of trying everything above with no relief, I was beginning to feel hopeless. However, after three sessions with Shashi doing myofacial release massage, I was able to move my thumb and bend my wrist with little to no pain. Unfortunately, I got food poisoning my last week in town and couldn't make it to my last week of massage therapy, but those three sessions helped more than anything else. Shashi spent a great deal of time actively listening to what happened to cause my problems, and then spent time each session explaining exactly where he thought the problems were coming from and how he planned to address those problems in the treatment session. After the discussion, he gave me exercises to do and explained what their purposes were, then he did an hour-long massage focused on the problem areas, which started at my neck, shoulders, and back, and then moved down to my arm, wrist, and hand. I felt improvement after each treatment, which my doctor unfortunately was unable to accomplish. I would highly recommend Shashi to anyone who has soft tissue problems, especially those that are resistant to traditional medical treatment. A+ experience.

I highly recommend coming here you will not regret it! I initially came in July 2017 with the help of my doctor from Miami (he located this place for me) to have a series of lymphatic massages. After my initial massage, I was able to walk normally and just felt better overall. I was in so much pain and discomfort, after my first massage I felt like a new person. I came back for about 5 massages and noticed each time I felt a significant improvement. I have returned a few days ago for more massages as I had had undergone another procedure. As soon as I landed I called and made an appointment . I was able to be seen when I wanted based on my schedule . I have been to 2 other massage facilities in the area that claim to provide "lymphatic massages" but they did nothing more than a feather massage, that I could have done myself. Wake Medical Massage is amazing and I will continue to refer people and to go here as well. You will feel amazing !

If sore muscles are draining your energy, strength, and joy of life, set up an appointment now with Shashi. It will help so much more than you think.

Feb 06, 2020

My first visit Shashi he did a consultation before starting. He explained the process and asked questions before he performs lymphatic massage drainage. I throughly appreciate the time he took to explain the lymphatic system and how it works and what to expect. He realizes that each case that walks through his door is different. I have been going to Wake Medical Massage since April 2019 for lymphatic massage drainage and I have experience wonderful results. My pain level and my swelling has reduced since receiving my massages from Shashi. I went for a follow up appointment with my doctor and he commented on my results. He stated the person doing my massages is doing a great job and told me to continue. He also asked for Shashi’s contact information, which I happily passed along. I have tried several facilities and Wake Medical Massage is the best thus far. I will continue to go there.

Feb 06, 2020

My initial visit, I came to see him because I was dealing with some shoulder tightness and neck pain and he immediately fixed me and took me through all ranges of motion and showed me what to do! I then go back 2 months later for a rotator cuff and pec muscle strain and tenderness and he amazingly broke down the anatomy for everything! Then worked on my back and my intercostal muscles and when our session ended, I was healed!!!!! 10 stars if I could give!!! Best medical massage therapist not just in town; ever!!!! I don’t refer anyone else!!

Feb 06, 2020

Shashi has been extremely helpful in identifying where are my difficulty originates and explaining it to me thoroughly. I highly recommend him for anyone who has a medical concern and wants to find relief, honesty and a direction to take toward health and wellness.

Feb 06, 2020

Shashi is an amazing and knowledgeable medical massage therapist. He really listens, he's patient and takes the time to explain why your body is in pain and then discusses how he will be able to help you. I have chronic neck and shoulder pain, degenerative disc disease and now Golfer's elbow. Before each session he also discusses your pain level and progress since your last visit. I know this will be a slow process to healing but I love that I have some degree of immediate pain relief after each session. Sometimes I feel decreased pain, sometimes it's more flexibility. Be prepared to do "homework" and it's in your best interest to do it! It's for your own health. I'm looking forward to getting better with Shashi's help.

Shashi is an amazing person with an amazing personality. He has professional experience in being a Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapist. I’m receiving a Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage due to cosmetic post surgery to help Improve pain, swelling, soreness and scars. After each massage session I seen results drastically, in 4 weeks I went down 2 sizes. Shashi is very passionate in what he does and he cares very much about his clients. He takes the time to explain the procedure of the massage therapy that he’s about to perform and he also explains how the Lymphatic Drainage Massage works to help and heal your body. What’s most important is to make sure after a cosmetic post surgery that you’re not going to any Lymphatic Drainage Massage therapist, but you’re going to a Certified Lymphatic Drainage Massage therapist. Shashi skills and professionalism is outstanding, I promise you will never be disappointed in his work. I recommend Shashi indefinitely to everyone. He’s definitely the best in the triangle area.

Shashi is fantastic! My first visit was due to a hiking injury. He was very truthful and clear about what massage could do to help and what it could not do. He took the time to fully explain everything before, during and after the massage. He offered "homework" of stretching and self-massage that really helped. One visit was all I needed to put me on the right path toward healing from the injury. Nearly a year later I returned to Shashi for help with osteoarthritis pain. I needed a walking stick for support before my visit. I was able to leave his office without using the stick. I love his no-nonsense approach to his business practice and his same-day appointment policy. If you want a spa experience, go somewhere else. If you're looking for health and healing support from a competent, educated provider, I highly recommend Shashi!

Feb 06, 2020

Shashi is the only person I have been to in the Triangle region who is able to perform the deep tissue work that I require and I've been to many therapists. He is friendly and will spend time beforehand to talk with you about what is bothering you, assess your overall physical condition, and will target the massage to your particular needs. In addition, he will provide any after care instructions for you to continue self work. He is the best I've found. 5 stars!

The only therapy that helps lessens the pain from TMJ over time.

Feb 06, 2020

Wake Medical Message is a great place if you want to get rid of your aches and pains Shashi is a great therapist. If you are looking for a spa this is not the place for you. This is medical message. Shashi brings you in you talk in detail about what is going on with you. Then he does his examination. Then the work beings on the areas that you need or that are hurting. This is the only place I ever been to where the therapist actually listens and works on what I really needs to be worked on. "Give him a try"

Mr. Lodhia is a true professional. This is not a cookie cutter spa rub but a massage geared to your specific needs. The therapist goes to great lengths to understand your needs so all issues can be addressed. First rate!
