    “Words can’t fully express what Bob does. After a decade of chronic upper back and neck pain rooted in emotion, his work helped me safely release deep tension in ways I didn’t know were possible.”

    “I now know 100% that you are a miracle worker! I cannot believe how much better my leg feels and it’s not going to sleep when I walk any more. I went grocery shopping today and it didn’t go to sleep. I went walking around my neighborhood for 20 minutes. It did not go to sleep. It’s still stiff so I need to stretch but I cannot believe it. I think the work helped the impingement on my sciatic nerve! I so look forward to future sessions with you and I think I finally feel for the first time in five years that I’m actually going to heal. Thank you thank you thank you.”

    “I love Bob DeLuca. I stared seeing him in his practice in Sonoma after I had a car accident and had tried many other therapies. He was gentle, responsive, professional and caring. My back is so much better since I have been seeing him. Now I just need to go once a month for a tune up. His approach to healing is very effective!

    “Bob is no less than a miracle worker with hands of light that could move mountains! When he puts his hands on me, I feel a sublime sense of trust and ease and with each session I have felt seen, deeply touched, renewed and awakened. It is difficult to describe exactly what he does, but I know, my body knows, that a very high being, with very high intelligence, is doing some very high (and deep) work on my soul via my physical form. I walk away taller, gentler, kinder and more in my skin, my heart a beaming star!!!! Bob is truly a master. Everyone should get "Bobbed"!!!

    “I call him Magic Bob, I have no idea what he does, it's not any kind of normal massage, but it's the most effecting treatment I've had after 10 years of diligent effort finding a solution to my issues. And it seems like it is not just temporary relief like normal massage or chiropractic (or yoga or exercise or....) It is the most expensive treatment I've tried but I keep going back because it works and I feel it's addressing my health issues in a deeper and more permanent way, so after wasting years and thousands of dollars on cheaper but less effective treatments I consider it to be a better value in the long run. I've been looking to move out of the wildfire zone here and actually took pause to consider the impact of losing access to Bob, that's just ridiculous ;-) Also just his quiet voice and general loving vibe are almost worth paying for lol, I feel so peaceful after a session, just amazing. Highly recommended!”

    “I have been seeing Bob for over a year now and am thrilled with the changes both in my pain levels and freedom to move. With multiple cervical disc issues, several concussions, and other sports related injuries I struggled with everyday pain and lack of mobility. Bob is truly a gifted healer with an extremely intuitive touch. (He's also one of the nicest people you'll meet.) Over time he has been able to address these issues and my pain levels have been greatly reduced! As well I'm slowly regaining strength and mobility which is allowing me to resume many activities. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to work with him (it's been life changing) and highly recommend him to others whatever the issues they may have.”

    “After four left hip surgeries, the last being a revision hip surgery, I was informed by the surgeon that my Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Minimus hip muscles had been completely destroyed by the original artificial hip. Months following a very difficult recovery process with limited ability to walk, a friend recommended I consult with Bob Deluca. Bob’s integrative manual therapeutic process combined with the Softwave electrohydraulic acoustic shockwave treatment has resulted in the extraordinary initial healing of my body. My mobility has returned with very little hip and back discomfort. Softwave’s advanced medical innovation combined with Bob’s compassionate soul, his unique transformative healing practice is unlocking my full potential to enjoy life to the fullest. Many Blessings to you, Bob!”

    “I came to Maui in very bad shape. I had been in car accidents in 2004 & 2006. Both times I injured my lumbar disc L5-S1, severely. After the 2006 accident/injury, they told me there was nothing they could do. That I was permanently disabled. I had many "treatments". Including, but not limited to, cortisone shots, steroid injections, physical therapy, & tons of medications. I had become so depressed & even sick, due to all of it. I would walk on a cane most of the time & I was always in pain. I didn't want to take the medication anymore & I was searching for a solution. The doctors had told me that I "may as well get used to the meds, because you will be on them for the rest of your life". That was 2 years ago, & 2 years since I met Bob. I haven't been on medication since my very first treatment with him! Of course, my back will always be injured. But, I can walk. I am not always in pain. And I do NOT need medication or chemical injections! And I owe it all to him.”

    “Bob is an expert healer in every sense of the word. He has helped my body to heal long standing issues where all others have failed to be effective. My first experience with Bob was in trying to get relief from a broken tail bone which had been plaguing me for years. It was so bad that I couldn't sit at all, and was in pain 24/7. It had gone on for 1 1/2 years by the time I saw him and in one, 1 hour session, he took away 80% of the pain. A day or two after our first session I woke and realized I had no pain at all and I could even sit down which I hadn't been able to do without a donut in years!! My awe & gratitude for this man's healing gifts is unending. I had seen western doctors, naturopathic doctors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, orthopedists, you name it. It wasn't until I saw Bob that I actually got relief. He has an amazing ability to put you at ease and really knows how to listen to his clients’ needs. He is knowledgeable, patient, gentle & kind hearted. His understanding of the body and it's systems seems to go beyond what can be learned in books, and he's willing to take the time to do things the right way. His work is slow, gentle, and highly effective. I usually experience subtle yet profound shifts for a few days following sessions with him - and amazingly the positive effects have always held for quite a long time. He has also proven very helpful in assisting me with nerve disfunction and pain over the years. Western medicine can't figure out what's going on for me but I've had fluctuating & severe peripheral nerve pain for many years interfering with both my ability to work and to enjoy life and live pain free. Bob has consistently been able to help me with these issues, even though I couldn't bring him a diagnoses nor explain why/what was actually happening. He is intuitive, sincere, effective and just an all around wonderful healing gift of a human being - do yourself a favor and give him a try. I just wish we still lived in the same area. You are lucky to have this gem in Grass Valley!”
