| - John isn't just a massage therapist. He's a muscle rehabilitator in many aspects. He really wants to try to get to the root of your pain or soreness, not only through massage, but through adequate prevention, whether it's through change in posture, or relaxation techniques that you can do outside of his studio.
The studio itself has moved from its original location, 4 blocks away in a professional building complex. His studio is on the 2nd floor, and while there is a parking lot, about half of the spots are reserved parking, which can mean there is a paucity of spots during busy times of the day.
After filling out the new client form, John went over all the questions, and discussed probable causes of muscle soreness and tension, and ways to ease up on tension in my everyday life.
While your typical idea of a "deep tissue" massage involves hard kneading at your muscles, possibly causing some additional soreness to relieve those tight knots post-massage, John operates on a different modality. He prefers to use various techniques to relax the muscles without causing post-massage pain, which is counter-intuitive to him.
During the massage, he used a mixture of different massage techniques, from stretching, to shiatsu, adding heat to further ease muscle tension. Each massage is specially tailored to your situation. John carefully thinks about all aspects of massage, even using a special almond oil because those with nut allergies will not have problems with it (Technically, an almond is a seed).
Ever get one of those days where you just wake up angry? (Or maybe it's just me) Well, I was having one of those days, but after my massage, I was feeling great! I was ready to take on the world with a relaxed and refreshed demeanor.
The price of a 60 minute massage is $80, regardless of type. John operates as a one-man-show, doing the booking and confirmations himself. His massages are definitely worth it, whether you are needing a general relaxation massage or coming in with chronic pain problems.
