Rest Stop Therapy, Massage

My wife and I started seeing Joseph about 5 years ago. From the beginning, the treatment was different in that its focused on getting better and ultimately resolving pain. My wife had surgery on one wrist and was about to have it on the other until Joseph asked to try an approach. Thankfully, it worked and 5 years later she has not needed additional treatment and avoided surgery on the 2nd wrist. He is a great therapist and a wonderful person.

My wife has always been active in the gym and in sports, but as time went on, whether due to age, hormones, or both, she began experiencing increasing muscle limitations. She started seeing a chiropractor because her hip would “unpop,” which brought relief for about 24 hours before the pain and stiffness returned. At times, it was so bad that she had difficulty getting out of bed because her hip felt stuck. After just two sessions with Joseph, it has now been over a year since the issue returned. Not only did Joseph address the muscle dysfunction in her hip, but his work also relieved severe headaches and significantly improved the limitations she was experiencing in her shoulders. His muscle work has made a lasting difference in her overall mobility and quality of life.

I started going to Rest Stop Therapy after a car accident, and it honestly helped a lot with my recovery. Joseph does things very differently than a typical massage therapist. It is not just about relaxing, it's super targeted and focused on actually fixing problem areas. Every session felt customized to what my body needed, especially the spots that were tight or off because of the accident. He helped more than my PT and Chiropractor sessions. Joseph is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and clearly cares about helping people feel better long term. If you are dealing with an injury or want something more effective than a standard massage, I would definitely recommend Rest Stop.

I started seeing Joseph for medical massages while pregnant and have continued to have him treat my aches and pains postpartum. He was able to provide relief for my various pain points and even pregnancy swelling, while explaining potential root causes for those issues and recommending at home exercises and remedies to continue relieving them. He’s incredibly friendly and professional. The facility is easy to locate with ample parking, clean, and tranquil. Highly recommend!

I’ve gone twice now and will continue to go as needed. Joseph is very thorough and detail oriented. He not only provides effective medical massages, but also helps you figure out the cause of your aches and pains. He understands the anatomy and how pain in one area might actually be caused by a different part of the body. He also helps you understand potential causes of the pain and explains at home stretches to further help relieve your pain. Highly recommend.
