Transcended time and space during my recovery massage with Stanette. It was truly the best massage I have ever had. She is clearly an expert in anatomy and movement. Without me saying a word, she found extremely sensitive/sore knots and would work them just a little then return later and really work it out. She found tension in places I didn’t know existed!
I would HIGHLY recommend Stanette!
Had been experiencing tension, moderate pain, and reduced mobility in my back and shoulders. Booked a session with Karl and was surprised at how quickly my problem areas were feeling better. The session felt thorough, professional and beneficial.
Went to see Karl days before racing the Boston Marathon and the session was exactly what I needed to help feel relaxed & comfortable throughout the race.
Had been dealing with tension in specific areas throughout training and he specifically targeted them which was fantastic. Also actively communicated throughout the session to ask questions about how things felt, when to breathe, whether pressure was too much or too little, etc.
I felt very empowered to own the session if I ever felt uncomfortable (which I didn’t!) or if I wanted certain areas targeted for longer or with more/less pressure.
