  • I have been on the hunt for a massage therapist. It had been years since I've had a massage (over a decade - that's what having a kid will do to your once cool life style). I have been dealing/ignoring a frozen right shoulder for about 4 years. I decided to actually try and fix the issue this year. Went to an orthopedic doctor and they gave me cortisone and physical therapy. My shoulder felt better after 4 weeks of PT. I started back to the gym and it slowly started to hurt again (it never fully cleared in PT but at least I had more mobility) - had issues lifting weights over 10lbs, etc. I decided to search out a massage therapist to help me since I just ached overall. I went to the MT at my local gym. Youch. My shoulder ached for 3 days after that visit and I would wake during the night when I slept on my affected side. It felt no better - if maybe slightly worse than previous. Next stop was Jon. I was a touch nervous as a woman going to an in home therapist who was a man (I didn't want to end up in the planter in the back yard). I screenshot his info and sent it to friends in case they didn't hear from me again. :) I arrived at Jon's house. He greeted me and I sat in his living room. He had forms that needed completion so he knew what issues I had or didn't have. He was friendly and his house is nice. He showed me to the room and gave me time to undress. By this time I was more comfortable with Jon and took the leap of faith. He talks you through what he is doing and I had some good laughs. Jon is not your typical "spa" massage therapist. He is quite methodical and looking to work with you to solve issues. I'm pretty tight in my muscles and he did some stretching exercises like I would do with a physical therapist. That was new for me. I always thought of massages as not much interaction - they massage you and then you left hopefully relaxed. He focuses on the issues you called out and hits the other areas as time allows (I did a 90 minute massage as I now think 60 is useless unless they are working on a specific problem area and nothing else). Let me just say that by the time I walked out of his room, I had the ability to turned my head to the right (something that cause pain for about 4 weeks) and my arm mobility had greatly increased and I didn't have pain. What?? I didn't even have pain in the days following. He gave me pointers on what I could do to keep the muscles supporting my shoulder stretched until I saw him again. I did see him the following week. I will definitely be back and Jon will now be a part of my overall physical fitness. I even prebooked him for the afternoon after running the RocknRoll Half Marathon in Jan 2017. :) I do have another MT scheduled for October that I purchased via Groupon back in July prior to finding Jon, but I know Jon will be the person going forward because 1. He's really good; 2. He's professional; 3. convenient location to my workplace. If you're looking for that spa experienced (think robes, glass of wine, no interaction with the MT, etc.), I'm not sure if Jon is what you are looking for, but if you have issues and want to feel better when you walk out, then look no further. Thank you, Jon! :)
