After nearly ten years in the Triangle we will be moving out shortly.The person I will miss the most is Lal Chand. He is a superior massage therapist. Over 40+ years of using massage to stay in the game I have not met anyone better than Lal. He is effective. He listens, he advises and he cares. He shares his experience outside the office to have a positive impact on client's situations.It will be a 500 mile commute but I may have to visit now and then!

BLUF: Lal is super knowledgeable and a great source for the curious, for those who want to continue self-care.I visit Lal and company about once a quarter for a check-up. They provide great feedback during the session on where I have been lacking in foam rolling/stretching/etc. I can add those areas to my routine.Visiting Athletic Edge has improved my recovery after hard workouts and my knowledge of how to stay injury free.

Lal is hands down the best masseuse in Raleigh, pun intended. You can tell by the questions he asks and his approach that he is genuinely engaged in understanding how best to help you. If you are looking for your next massage, Lal is the best. My advice: book early and book often but don’t take my appointment :)

Best masseuse in Raleigh! I have been going to Lal at Athletic Edge for years now, and he is an extremely talented, professional, and knowledgeable masseuse! I have had massages at the Umstead, and other sports massage locations in Raleigh (including some that were highly recommended) and Lal is still hands down the best. I always feel comfortable and listened to, and I always leave feeling like a new person! Even the music in his space is better than other places! As an athlete, I usually have a list of problem areas that I would like Lal to address, and he does so skillfully with his knowledge of all the muscles and common tight places in athletes. If you are an athlete, I would HIGHLY recommend treating yourself to the 90 minute massage which allows for a bit more time on all parts of the body. Also, Lal is skilled at applying a firm pressure, which is truly an art form when doing a sports or deep tissue massage. I have recommended Lal to many other athletes and they have had great experiences too! Lal used to have another masseuse in his practice (Cara) and she was wonderful as well. He does a great job of choosing masseuses so I have full confidence that if he does bring on another person at some point, that they will also be great.

Always the best! Love Lal and he is beyond talented. Trust him whole heartedly with my body. He helped me post car accident and I am thankful for his skills!

Cara is a very talented, knowledgeable therapist. She listened to what my issues were and what I needed, checked in with me throughout the treatment, and knew right where to work her magic. She’s very strong but backs off right away if you let her know it’s too much. I would definitely see her again and I recommend her highly to anyone looking for a great massage. Thank you Cara!

Lal is extremely talented. He gives nice firm pressure and is also very familiar with the body and how to target specific muscles. One of the best massages I’ve ever gotten.

Cara is so professional and always will listen to what you need. Always feel like i am so calm, get better night sleep, and my muscles and tension relaxed after an appointment with her

I bought a Groupon for a 90 minute massage~Athletic Edge neglects to tell you that that is only applicable with one masseuse and she’s booked until May, with limited appointments even then~There is no one to talk to at Groupon and I never, ever would have spent my hard earned money on a much needed massage that is impossible to book~So, I now have to go get a massage and pay for it someplace else and do a whole lot of unnecessary, annoying paperwork to try to get my money back~What a hassle just because they didn’t let us know clearly there were no appointments.
