Sports Massage
I was limping from the after-effects of a bad ankle sprain when I first began to see Todd. Pain in the area around my achilles tendon and many tight muscles in my calve had made it impossible to walk normally without severe pain. I got immediate relief from the first time that he worked on me, and that first time gave me a preview of Todd's practical, effective and high-level approach. Not only did I get the immediate relief and the beginnings of a return to full function, I also had other affected areas of the body released as well. Since benefitting from Todd's expertise, I have gone on to do many active things, including mountain-climbing and, now, playing tennis at a strong club (4.0) level. As a 45-year-old wanting to improve my tennis game, Todd's services have been immensely helpful, providing a foundation of fitness and recovery as I was able to put in the work to improve from a 3.0 to 4.0 level over the last 2 years.
Two months ago, after extensive travel, I went to the tennis court and overdid it, wrenching my lower back badly. After having Todd help me, and being diligent with stretching and strengthening exercises for the core/lower back, I have been back on the tennis court, playing as well as ever, and feeling very good on the tennis court and off the court afterwards. Todd has helped in both increasing my capability and in recovery as I continue to work to improve my tennis game. I recommend him extremely highly!

Todd has the ability to enhance an already skillful massage with added nuances of knowledge of muscles. His intuition combined with experienced hands can open the doors for many to heal. Todd's massage is amazingly advanced. I believe he is one of those rare individuals who first learns what is taught in the massage schools, but instead of remaining content with that, chooses to move beyond what he has learned. In just 2 sessions with Todd, I experienced more lasting physical benefits than from all the other massage, acupuncture and chiropractic I have received to this date. And for the price he is asking, I do not believe you'll find a better value. Recommended.

Arm Pain, Neck Pain, Leg Pain
I've had numerous muscular problems - neck and arm stiffness - restricted motion in hands, feet and knees - for many years due to shortness of leg and a very physical job.Todd has been able to bring back my mobility - over time - working at a pace that I direct - He is gentle but is able to work with me within my tolerances.
The results of Todd's work is remarkable - I feel like a new person - now able to move freely with out pain - I would recommend to anyone to listen to his recommendations, considering length of time needed to bring good results.

A person or business has to be way beyond average for me to recommend him/her/them. This is why I have yourself and Fanno Clinic via letters in newspapers and to individuals several times.
I have been to a number of LMT's in my life, but one Licensed Massage Therapist in particular stands out. Todd Pennington, LMT is his name. Mr. Pennington was originally trained as an electrical engineer but switched professions some years ago. Like a engineer if you want him to, he can be somewhat intense, no fu-fu New Age, Music, incense, poster or Psychobabble in his office. He is both serious and very knowledgeable about the body. He also is great at relaxation massage.

Pennington Massage has helped me so many times when I have been completely locked up with painful muscles. They usually get me in that day and are very generous with their time on my behalf. I keep returning to see Todd because in spite of the severity of my back or neck pain, he works out the problem. I am very grateful I found this service.'
