At Release Muscle Therapy

I’ve had an excellent experience working with Sam. He had me feeling big improvement from the very first session. His deep knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to understand how the body functions as a whole have been truly impressive. Sam doesn’t just address the symptoms—he gets to the root of the issue, considering all aspects of movement and mechanics. I highly recommend Sam!

Sam's exceptional therapy practice has been a game-changer for me, especially after multiple surgeries and managing chronic illnesses. His collaboration with the VA ensures top-notch massage therapy, truly making a positive impact

I had a shoulder issue for about a year that I could not seem to address with at home therapy. Sam developed a plan using massage and structured rehab that was specific to my concerns and goals.He is a true professional with an expert knowledge in anatomy and injury rehabilitation and was motivated to work with me, to help me understand my injury and what it would take to get back to normal function.I'm happy to be back doing the sports and activities that I love with the confidence of a long term program that will keep my shoulders healthy.

My daughter and I have been seeing Sam for a while now and have both benefited from his vast knowledge and expertise of back and posture issues. What we like about him is he has set us up on doable and long term programs to help us avoid injury in the future. We both highly recommend Sam and Release Muscle Therapy !!

As a farrier im bent over all day twisting in odd positions. My back would go out regularly. Sams thorough approach and the exercises he taught me have brought my old baseline pain level of 4-5 down to a maximum of 1. Thank you Sam for the relief!

I'm really glad I found Mr. Visnic. He is incredibly knowledgeable in his field. Not only is his muscle therapy effective, but he is also the first person who has genuinely taken the time to understand the full extent of my issues. Every visit, he provides detailed explanations on how I can continue to help myself at home between appointments, which is invaluable. I always leave his office feeling both physically better and more informed. It's clear that he truly cares, and I deeply appreciate the attention to detail and the wealth of knowledge he shares with me. Thank you, Mr. Visnic, for your dedication and care.

Just finished 3 month session and it was great!! He works your body to what it will handle. If you are someone that can handle the deep tissue he will or if not so deep he will go lighter all what YOU can tolerate.

I had disabling hip and leg pain that stumped all my doctors - I had several expensive medical diagnostic procedures that were all negative.Sam quickly figured it out the root cause. With trigger point massage and assigned strengthening and stretching exercises, my pain was almost gone after 5 treatments. I was able to stop taking ibuprofen for the first time in months! Now about a month later, I've been continuing the exercises and my pain is essentially gone. I am so grateful and I strongly recommend Sam!

I found Sam online and couldn’t be more happy with the results. I have had some serious issues stemming from sports injuries and accidents at a young age. After decades of discomfort Sam was able to give me the tools to help get my body to the most comfortable place it’s felt in recent memory.He’s knowledgeable and sets you up with success in mind. If you are dealing with any issues that you feel can’t be fixed with regular trips to a massage therapist, you’ve tried physical therapy and just isn’t working, then I recommend seeing Sam. He will get you dialed in physically and hopefully feeling better then ever.

I had been dealing with midback and hip pain for years. I tried chiropractors, stretching and exercise and couldn’t get relief. I decided to give RMT a try not knowing what to expect. In two visits Sam was able to help me understand the physiology of what was causing the pain and the proper exercise to help correct my issue. I highly recommend RMT. Sam is very personable. The office is clean and well kept.

Sam has performed massage therapy with me for the past 12 weeks. He is very courteous, professional, and attentive. The massages are performed in a private, comfortable, and relaxing setting. Sam has the ability to put the client at ease, while giving special consideration and feedback throughout the massage. He is quick to answer questions and relay information throughout the massage. I also appreciate that Sam does follow up and checks on clients after the massage. I was referred to Sam by the VA and the scheduling has been both efficient and professional. This is my first experience with massage therapy and I highly recommend Release Muscle Therapy with Sam without hesitation.

I felt huge improvement after just one session and increased improvement after next session. Very comfortable setting. Sam is professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

My first time seeing Sam helped me identify and release muscle tension that allowed for me to run at my best again, an experienced professional highly recommend!

TL:DR - Sam is a godsend! I'm so thankful I came across his page when I was having severe pain in my foot and ankle from overuse. Even if you think you've tried everything - go to SAM!I wanted to find a solution to minimize and manage the pain so I could continue my regular workout routines. I was using crutches between teaching excercise classes and couldn't afford to take time away from teaching and persistent high impact on my injury. I'd tried all kinds of tools and protocols, etc and was feeling desperate... I thought, "a massage would be nice," and reached out thinking it would be a temporary relief for a night and then I'd be back to crutches in the morning. GUYS....In ONE visit, he took my pain from a 10/10 to a 3/10. I couldn't believe it.He provided several resources and tools for me to do on my own between visits with him and TAPING techniques he has taught me CHANGED THE GAME!! It is the biggest relief to be able to continue with my activities I love without pain! I've been seeing Sam for about 2 months and my pain has completely subsided. I am so confident in my ability to stay pain free long into the future now that I've worked with Sam. I highly highly recommend you reach out to him.YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE WITH PAIN!!

As a professional Athlete, my body’s performance ability is what I depend on to make a living. This summer I started having intense muscle pain that was increasing and I could not find solutions or management for. I was heading into Nationals, and could not continue with the pain I was in.Sam has been a fantastic resource and part of my success in returning to a 0 pain situation. He’s incredibly informative and thoughtful with how he handles each case. I love that it’s a full program approach. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for real results.

The best therapy I’ve ever received broke my back over 10 years ago in a dirt bike accident and had my spine fused . No pain management or procedure has given better muscle relief the Sam Best around highly recommended

Dr. Sam is a great. We had a series of Myofascial releases. He does deep release to relieve tension on the affected area! He knows the spots that need work and gets them going. Fantastic work! Don't need to visit another specialist after visiting him!"

Sam is amazing! I have been having shoulder pain for years and after seeing Sam it is gone, I had ringing in my ears for a few months, it is so much better I can actually sleepThank you, Sam

I can't thank Sam enough for the treatment I've received. Last year was very tumultuous for me, healthwise. His treatment plan and dedication to his craft has played a significant role in my recovery. My mobility has significantly improved and pain is practically nonexistent. Truly the best experience in my road to recovery!

I've been going to Release Muscle Therapy consistently to improve my level of fitness, and manage any injuries attained from heavy weight training. Sam is very knowledgeable and creates custom plans for every individual, while providing decades of knowledge and experience. I was very lucky to find this establishment my first go around, and I will continue to be a loyal patient.

Sam is very knowledgeable and tailors his approach to each individual patient. He takes the time to listen to his patients and then develops a plan to help the patient achieve their stated outcomes.

Having been plagued by chronic migraines which led to many Dr. visits and expensive medication, I wish I would’ve found Sam a lot sooner! After the first consultation he identified the root cause and created a plan to include a combination of tissue massage along with corrective postural exercises.Sam will equip you with knowledge & exercises you can include to your daily life routine - this is key if you spend long hours at a desk job! Because of his knowledge and expertise, I can happily say I’ve been migraine free for months. If you have been dealing with pain, do yourself a favor and go see Sam!

I decided to work on my lower back pain (which I've been experiencing for the past two years from a car accident). I found Sam through google and after only seeing him but he has already help me manage my chronic lower back pain! Sam tailors your session based on your actual needs. Definitely a game changer for me, you will not regret seeing him!

It was almost 1 year ago to the day that I was at my wits end trying to find relief to a shoulder issue that was making life miserable. My primary care Dr took X-rays with no answers, put me through traditional physical therapy sessions where I was just a number an given paper print outs of exercises to do that may help. I finally realized I needed to find a solution outside of my health insurance system.... Having recently moved to Temecula I was unsure where to start. I was at first skeptical/intimidated to try a place like release muscle therapy. A year later I can say Sam changed my life. The personal approach along with the expertise Sam has in the space is next level. It is a mix of muscle massage therapy along with personal training. He takes his time, asks a lot of questions and takes a vested interest in ensuring you find relief from pain.He also has a modern approach to everything he does. He follows up after sessions with emails containing video links to exercises you need to do on your own and text messages to see how your doing.We are lucky to have Sam as a resource in the Temecula Valley and I can't recommend enough.

I started seeing Sam hoping he could help me address several significant orthopedic and musculoskeletal issues that were plaguing my every day life and running. I had 3 issues and within two sessions, 1 was resolved and the other two greatly improved. And those two continue to improve with each session.I have seen several other healthcare practitioners (massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, and physical therapists), but only found moderate relief without lasting results. Sam’s approach of targeted therapeutic massage partnered with specific muscle strengthening and corrective exercises have greatly reduced my daily pain and improved my muscular endurance.I highly recommend you call Sam if you need a comprehensive approach to addressing your concerns. You won’t regret it!

Very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I came in having intense lower back pain and it is gone after being treated by Sam.

Wow!! I found Sam on Google after suffering with TMJ for a while, my recent flare up lasted 2 weeks so I went in for treatment and walked out feeling so much better and the results have lasted. He also gave some actionable movements that have helped maintain the work along the way. Most recently I visited with hip pain and tightness and again Sam came through and provided the therapy needed to have me walking and skating more comfortably. Can’t recommend him enough!

I had been struggling with a painful hip for many months and tried the usual fixes - more yoga, chiropractor, massage - but nothing really helped. Friends and family suggested I get an MRI, see an orthopedist and prepare for hip replacement surgery. Something inside told me that it wasn’t that kind of pain, mostly because it changed from day-to-day (and sometimes hour-to-hour). I reasoned that if it required surgery because of torn cartilage or bone-on-bone, the pain would be constant and consistent. My intuition led me to Sam.I limped into the office and shared my story. Sam REALLY listened. He then took me through the most thorough physical evaluation I’d ever experienced. His very targeted massage was a revelation. And then he introduced me to a few gentle exercises. I had hope for the first time in months!In his incredibly thorough way, Sam emailed my exercise program later that day with links to short videos of exactly what to do and how to do it. Immediately, my hip started to respond. Not only that, I felt empowered! I was actually the one in charge of my healing.Each subsequent session, Sam added more exercises and tools I could use at home. Little by little, my hip started to get stronger and less painful. And the first time I went up stairs without needing to hold on felt like such a major victory!Now, if my hip starts to “talk” to me, I know just what to do. (And if I forget, the videos are there to remind me.) I am so grateful to Sam for his knowledge and professionalism. I already know that I will see him again when it’s time to work on the rest of my body…

These services were a game changer for me. Sam is extremely knowledgeable and skilled. After 3 years of not being able to turn my neck to one side (extremely limited range of motion) and many many chiropractic sessions. Sam freed it up in one session! 5 months later I still have full range of motion. Follow up sessions and following his therapy recommendations are keys to progress!

In one sentence, working with Sam can change your life. I started working with Sam a few months ago for my own health needs as well as evaluating him as a potential referral for my own patients. My health journey has included GI discomfort that I believe at this point is deep rooted in neural pathways. In other words, years and years of experiencing gut discomfort after meals had trained my brain to expect discomfort after meals. My brain then sent a message to my body to go into stress mode and the result was discomfort after meals. Since a lobotomy was not an option, I considered other options. I was curious about gut directed hypnotherapy and found Sam.After a few months of working with Sam I feel calmer after meals, more confident in my body, my symptoms have significantly diminished and are many times absent, and I'm even sleeping more deeply.Sam is professional, knowledgable, gifted, and dedicated to his clients. I cannot recommend him strongly enough. It's worth the investment in your health and you well-being.Thank you, Sam

I have been dealing with pain in my upper back/shoulder and neck pain for years now, after a work injury. With Release muscle therapy I have become stronger and able to do more physically. I like that he personalizes each workout and therapy to my needs. I’m not just another client, he really cares and wants to help his clients. I recommend everyone to come try out this therapy.

I have been suffering from lower back pain for many years and desired to overcome the pain naturally and long-term. I finally found a resource to accomplish just that. There are 3 parts (I'm sure there is probably more than 3 but lets summarize here...lol!) to what I have learned that has either eliminated or significantly reduced pain. 1) It's a mental game that has to be learned and acted upon 2) Muscle release during massage techniques 3) Muscle stretching and/or strengthening . It's absolutely worth doing. I am still on this healing journey but I am 80% there and I'm so grateful that there is hope and healing instead of deterioration.

Came in with back/scapula pain stopping me from working out and surfing. Came in and saw Sam for a few sessions, as well as having take home exercises, and it helped tremendously. He helped bring my ability to do those things back! He is very detailed in his care and throughly assess roots of the problems.

I am very grateful to have come across Sam while desperately searching for some professional body work to relieve me of my chronic pain.Being a Tattoo artist for 17 years and sitting for long hours, has affected my posture, causing me severe discomfort in my back and hips.Sam evaluated my body posture and created a program using specific bodywork techniques that have helped me.He’s very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable and most definitely recommend.

Sam has been an integral part of my athletic program for around one year now. My competitive performance has significantly improved as well as my overall health since beginning release therapy with Sam. His office office is very clean, friendly and extremely professional. Sam came highly recommended by a close friend and now I would recommend Sam to any of my friends, family or fellow athletes.

I highly recommend Sam and his practice. I've struggled with neck tension and headaches for years and Sam was able to pinpoint alot of my trouble areas and release a great majority of the problem for me. I did a handful of sessions every 2 weeks. Sam gives really great insight to the body, how we develop issues and exercises to support our bodies. I feel great after my few months of sessions and plan to keep going monthly for maintenance on my problem areas. Thanks Sam for all your help on the road to feeling my best.

My experience with Sam was excellent. He explained everything clearly and is very nice and down to earth. His technique is amazing and his hands are gifted. My pain level was 100% improved after my first session. My experience went so well that I referred my mom. I highly recommend Sam and Release Muscle Therapy.

Sam Visnic at Release Muscle Therapy has helped me drastically with my nagging pains on my back, neck, and hip. He is extremely knowledgeable on every muscle and bone and has a deep understanding on the bodies correct locomotion. Sam had no problem finding the sources and giving me exercises to do. He is also easy to get in touch with and will answers any questions even after the appointment. I highly recommend!

I had shoulder pain for so long and could not find a reason to why it couldn't get resolved. Chiropractors and stretches showed no improvement. After my first visit with Sam it gave me so much release in my pain. Also his protocols of how to strengthen my upper body and the muscles used has been amazing! I'm on my 4 visit and showing so much improvement. He really knows what he is doing and has so much information to offer.

Having visited various professionals searching for answers on a laundry list of chronic pain and muscle imbalances due to a spinal fusion from T-8 through T12, Sam has been the most knowledgeable of all. After following Sam's custom workouts I soon found relief. The things I have learned from him I will use for a lifetime. I highly recommend his services. Trust the process and you will feel results.

After a lifetime of gut issues (later diagnosed as SIBO) I experienced trauma around my pain and discomfort and fear of food reactions so I decided to explore gut directed hypnotherapy with Sam Visnic. Sam is innovative and knowledgeable in this practice and after two sessions I started to notice that changing my thought patterns was helpful in dealing with stress, fatigue, anger, and other emotions surrounding my gut health. Sam guided me down a path each session in a very mindful purposeful way that addressed my individual thought processes that were hindering my healing all through ZOOM, so I was in the comfort of my own home which was amazing. If you have SIBO, or other gut related trauma I encourage you to explore this therapy with Sam.

I have been suffering from Plantar Fasciitis since March of this year and was pretty much out of options till we found RMT. Thanks to Sam and the precise plans he tailored to fit my foot pain issues, I’m back on my feet and can’t say enough about RMT. Thank you Sam!

I found Sam in a search for pain relief after dealing with chronic pain in my legs and back for a while. After many failed treatments and deadends with other providers I was frustrated and worried I would never be able to live the same active lifestyle again. I am so thankful all roads led me here. Sam's approach is different in that he focuses on pain education, mindset & pain relief exercises. After a few months I am slowly getting back into my exercise routine and I don't feel the excruciating pain that plagued me daily. I feel like I have a new mindset and way to think about/deal with pain that will help me in years to come. I wish more would take this approach. Definitely visit him!! He is a great guy who truly wants to help. 🙂

My 16 year old son plays both baseball and football. He grew 4-5 inches in one year and with lifting weights, he developed significant lower back pain. Doctors all said he had sciatica. I took him to Sam and right away he identified the issue and it was not sciatica. After a mere three treatments and the physical therapy/strengthening exercises Sam gave him, he is now pain free for the first time in almost a year and it only took 5 weeks. I highly recommend Sam to help with your physical weaknesses and ailments.

I came to Sam for shoulder, ankle, and hip issues that were getting in the way of being able to exercise. He really knows his stuff and after a couple weeks of working with him I am able to do my lifting exercises again without discomfort. He’s very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I wish I knew about him sooner!

Sam is absolutely AMAZING!!! I’ve suffered in pain for 10 years and through three hip surgeries and was still having pain that no one was addressing. I was depressed and felt like I would never get better. I’m so grateful I found Sam! He listened, he told me exactly what he thought was causing the pain, he created a plan for me, he explained everything in simple terms. He is so knowledgeable! He doesn’t just tell you to do this and do that he explains why you need to do it and it makes so much sense. He validated my pain when so many specialists and doctors brushed it off or didn’t have an answer for me. He followed up with emails to check on me and provided detailed exercises with videos. If you are not getting answers and if you are in any kind of pain, please please do yourself a favor and give Sam a try!

I came in with heal , sciatic & knee pain that I have had for months on pain scale of 8 to 10. I left with NO heal or sciatic pain and I was able to walk down the stairs with no knee pain . Feeling grateful for the pain relief.

Sam is very thorough and knowledgeable. He provides a good mix of manual massage and strengthening exercises/stretches. He also takes the time to follow up after each appointment. He provides an at home protocol for you to continue progressing in between appointments. I highly recommend visiting Sam.

Great work! I felt great by the second appointment. Still have more work to be done but Sam knows his stuff.

Sam’s knowledge of both massage and exercises that help correct imbalances of the body are the best! If you’ve been through every PT, massage therapist, unconventional therapies like I have and no one has been able to help… Sam is your guy.
