EXCELLENT Based on 13 reviews Posted on Google Ian KeaneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing Massage. I’ve had nothing like it, Jemispn is very professional. I work a blue collar job and it’s exactly what I needed. Feeling great !Posted on Google Jasmine ReutelerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did not plan on getting bodywork tonight. I definitely did not plan on feeling like a new woman. Jemison brought his table to our UFC Gym vendor night and offered short sample sessions. I hopped on mostly out of curiosity and because my arm has been wrecked for days after a nasty hematoma. What I did not realize was that the pain had quietly crept into my shoulder too. Within seconds of me laying down, Jemison pointed out something no one else had caught. My shoulders were literally hovering about three inches off the table from tension alone. No exaggeration. He worked on me for about 15 minutes, using a very unconventional technique that I have never experienced before. It was precise, intentional, and incredibly effective. He explained exactly how the trauma and tension from my bicep had traveled up and locked my shoulder without me even realizing it. By the time he was done, my shoulders were fully relaxed and resting on the table. The shoulder pain was gone. The bicep pain from the hematoma was noticeably reduced. I stood up feeling like an entirely different person. This was not a feel good massage. This was corrective, intelligent, and honestly impressive work. Jemison sees what others miss and knows exactly what to do with it. If you train hard, live stressed, carry old injuries, or think you’re fine when your body clearly disagrees, you need to get on his table. I walked away feeling reset.Posted on Google L GilmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jemison is the best, no 2 massages are the same. He takes the time to assess your particular needs before diving in.Posted on Google C. CablayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience. Jemison is an expert at finding root causes of discomfort. He worked on areas that I didn’t know were issues until he got hands on. One of the best sports massages I’ve ever gotten. Strongly recommend for current and former athletes.Posted on Google Paul HarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very traumatic injury to both my shoulders. After an intense rotator cuff repair, with reattachments to my bicep and tricep tendons, Jemison's incredible hands are getting me through the recovery. Having to wear a sling is creating tension across my back and into my neck and the surgeon has allowed Jemison to work on me. I don't know how I would get through this ordeal without him. If you are looking for an amazing medical massage therapist, call Jemison.Posted on Google Bryan HilarioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jemison is nothing short of amazing at his craft, with many years of experience and tremendous amounts of knowledge. You won’t find a better therapist in the area who specializes in sports physical therapy and muscle movement for any aches, pains, or maintenance. And talk about hand strength! Whether it’s your first time or if you’re an advanced athlete - HIGHLY, highly recommend!Posted on Google Jeremiah DuPriestTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mare' is the most amazing massage therapist I have encountered. She knows the physiology of the muscle/skeletal anatomy and how to manipulate it to get the best relief.Posted on Google Adam MasseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are expecting a "spa" massage this is not that. I needed deep tissue work and correction work. He worked in stretching and as well as seeing how my body responded to those movements. While doing this he saw some issues and addressed them. I left feeling better and could tell a difference.Posted on Google sam magruderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. amazing corrective "massage" Jemison knows exactly how to release knots and re align the skeletal structure. The best sports rehab session I have had. Highly recommend for anyone with old injures, limited mobility or just tired and worn out muscles from exercising and living an active lifePosted on Google Dave JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
