Report
My boyfriend and I go to their massage therapist, Josh. I'm in the beauty industry and have upper back/shoulder pain constantly. The first time i saw him i could've cried from the relief. I can't say enough about how awesome he is! Very very intelligent and very personable! He has been doing massage for a long time and really knows his stuff. I would recommend anyone and everyone to go see him!
