I've had a lot of massages in my life and Joal is by far the best therapist I've ever experienced. I wish I lived closer to him because I would probably get one weekly from him! I'm a runner and I have some extremely tight areas that I tend to not stretch properly and/or often enough so then I struggle bending over, getting out of bed and with other tasks.
Joal was not only able to get everything loosened up so that I was pain free, more flexible and fluid, but he ALSO took the time to teach me how to do things that would help me carry through with my own improvements. Like, how to work on (massage) some of my own muscles to help the tightness, along with some stretches and tricks with a towel to sleep, stretch and relax.
In the past, I've had sport massages (and other massages) and the therapists would actually hurt me and bring me to tears on my shoulder blades, psoas, etc., but Joal was able to work them out without pain and much discomfort. He's amazing. I can't say enough about him.
I would recommend him to EVERYONE!
