If you’re a weekend warrior, an athlete, a former athlete or just someone who likes to perform at the highest level, Dale is for you. I was visiting from Florida and was lucky enough to stumble across Dale after searching for sports massages in the area. After experiencing the service, I would have booked him everyday. 100% the best sports massage I’ve ever gotten, and I am very picky. I beat my body up pretty good during the week with high intensity workouts and Dale was able to identify my trouble areas and work them out beautifully. I felt like 1 million bucks the next morning and days after!! Highly recommend and will be using him whenever I’m back in Nashville.

Easily one of the best massages I have ever had. Dale has an awesome combination that really worked for me. He took his time to carefully identify what my goal for the massage was and did not stop until he reached it. Excellent deep tissue work with good titration of pressure. He incorporated some stretching which helped to destress and relax me. He was very intuitive to trouble spots and focused on working the "knots" out. He checked periodically to make certain I was comfortable with the room temp and positioning. His choice of music was very soothing and he even made changes in the lighting so that it was more relaxing for me. Whether you need sports, deep tissue or a simple nurturing relaxation massage, Dale is your man. He is definitely five stars (if six were possible, he would be SIX). If you visit Nashville and don't get a massage from Dale then you have not experienced everything the city has to offer. It will be on my permanent TO DO list for future visits to Nashville. This is my first Yelp review of any kind.

Dale gives one of the best massages I have ever had (and I've had a few). He is professional and obviously knowledgeable about the body. He understands how to get deep and hit those problem areas and makes you feel comfortable as he does it. His business name is very appropriate as he really knows how to work with athletes and people like myself who abuse their body on a regular basis.

I'm a marathon runner. I'm used to working my body hard and constantly tolerating "a little pain" in my knees and leg muscles. However, after running the Country Music Marathon in April this year I started having a lot of trouble with my iliotibial (IT) band. All of my over-training had finally caught up with me and left me hobbling around for the next few days. It was a terrible inconvenience for me (to say the least), since I work on my feet all day. Anyway, I got a hold of Dale Parker at Athletic Performance Massage to see if he could help. Not only was I impressed with how quickly Dale could fit me into his busy schedule, but when I met him before my massage even began, I appreciated how he took the time to ask me what problems I had been having with my legs since the race and if I could point out any certain areas that were more sore than others. Of course, Dale focused on those problem areas and really took his time to work out all of the "kinks." I was surprised to find the very next day that my IT band issues has virtually disappeared. My legs felt incredibly refreshed and almost 100% just 4 days after my race. I have since used Dale several more times during my training for the next marathon as a reward/refresher after a hard week and as a warm up going into a hard week. In fact, I'm going to see him today to loosen up before my next marathon this Saturday :) I've only seen improvements in times and overall energy in my legs since seeing Dale, so I expect to crush my goal this week! I you're an endurance athlete who pushes his/her body as hard as I push mine, please do yourself a favor. Check him out!
