I was in Charlotte on an extended business trip and recovering from a sports injury that affected my back, neck and shoulders and needed weekly massages. I have seen many massage therapists in my life-time and have to say that John is one of the best I have ever been to. Not only was he able to pin-point my problem areas precisely, he was not afraid to use the necessary pressure (while always checking-in with me if it was too much) to release the tension in my muscles. His command of various techniques, understanding of anatomy and specific needs of athletes, along with his ability to listen to you as a patient makes him a truly outstanding massage therapist.
