I had an incredible huge knot on my upper left side of my shoulder. Josh provided an amazing service and his techniques were insane. He is a true professional at his craft. I left feeling incredibly satisfied and much better. You are cheating yourself if you don’t give Josh Mack a call.
I’m a professional actor from NYC doing a very physical show in San Diego. Had to go to the er for Ankle injury and needed to get back on stage. Found Joshua and saw him a week after my injury. I was back on stage the night after I saw him. He worked on my ankle and the muscles around the injury, did some cupping…taped me up and gave me some tips to deal with it. I highly recommend him especially if you got a deadline. Thanks, Joshua!
What an amazing experience. I was greeted so kindly and the smell of jasmine was amazing. Josh is a wizard he not only worked on the sore spots but also spots I didn't even know needed attention. His skill and professionalism are top-tier.
This guy is awesome not only is he a great storyteller, but I had Chronic lower back pain and sore Achilles tendon for almost a year and He was able to fix both as a power lifter who loves to work out of 5 to 6 days a week. It’s life-changing to be able to lift pain-free again. Highly recommend his services.
I have been to Joshua many times over many years. IMHO he is the best massage therapist that I have ever been to. I had really bad sciatic pain and he was able to give me relief which lasted for several years. I highly recommend Joshua at Hands On Wellness.
As an athlete who does tons of weight lifting and Cardio while also working long hours, proper recovery is important. I was having issues with extremely tight hips, with pain that traveled down to my feet. I wasn't able to squat as I normally would. I'm greatful I found Hands on Wellness. Joshua is very skilled, knowledgeable and professional. He is easy to talk to and I felt comfortable. I've gone a few times and each time I feel so much better. I was able to get back to squating and hit a new PR 300 lbs! I highly recommend him!
I went to Josh with persistent neck and back pain which extended down to my hips and glutes. I was especially having trouble with pain and tightness first thing in the morning and when either sitting or standing in place for too long. Josh took the time upfront to understand my active lifestyle and goal to continue to play sports in my 50s -- and employed a variety of techniques to address my problem areas. I began to feel relief immediately following the first session, and have continued to feel more like myself with subsequent visits. I've even returned to playing sports! His ability to also detect and fix other/smaller problem areas and to recommend techniques I can employ outside of the sessions and products that will help to prevent these issues, have been incredibly helpful. Bottom line, Josh's knowledge, expertise, and overall demeanor have exceeded my expectations. He gets it and gets results for his clients. I highly recommend him!
I have had fairly consistent SI pain for over 20 years. I have seen multiple doctors on the matter without results and tried stretches (which are supposed to help) with mixed success. The first time I have been pain free this year was my first appointment with Josh. Not only did the session immediately absolve the SI pain I had, but also ameliorated the hip pain I had been experiencing over the past couple months. He explained in detail what was happening with my posture/muscles and how I could remedy it. I immediately booked 3 more appointments and have been following the stretch and resistance exercises prescribed to me. After completing my 4th session and staying consistent with Josh's recommendations I can confidently say I have the best range of motion and least amount of pain that I have experienced in years. Cannot recommend enough.
I've been looking for a personalized quality massage to work on some muscle tightness that I get from weight lifting, and I'm so thrilled to have found Josh! He's a true healer. I came to Josh with pain between my shoulder blades, and I left feeling significantly better! And I felt even better the following day. He worked on some muscles in my neck that I've never had worked on before. As a result of that, I had so much more movement in my neck/shoulder area after the treatment. Also, his studio is very cozy and comfortable.
Joshua is the real deal! I'm a marathoner and a pole dancer, and have been battling hip and back injuries for months now, with very little progress from PT sessions. I've had two separate massages with Joshua to focus specifically on my hip and back, and I felt amazing after both. I was able to run 15 miles the next day with no hip pain :) ALSO, my first visit with him was my first ever deep tissue sports massage, and Joshua was super attentive to my needs to ensure I was comfortable. 10/10 highly recommend, thanks so much for all that you do!!
