  "Laurie Towers at Physical Advantage is my physical savior. I work at a computer all day, every day, and my lower back, neck and shoulders are constantly sore and stiff. Laurie's hands are golden: She knows where to go and how to fix it." — sarahb, Rocky Point, N.Y.
  
  "Laurie Towers is the best massage therapist I have been to, hands down. She is extremely knowledgeable about the human anatomy, stronger than any other therapist, and I always feel better after seeing her. A deep tissue massage with Laurie is not a walk in the park, but you always feel better after she is done with you." — leslie, Upper West Side
