“John keeps us moving forward.”
“The best way to describe the actual massage I got is: wow. Actually, WOW!!! John spent the better part of two hours really working me over, extremely thoroughly. It wasn’t a “few minutes rubbing this, a few minutes rubbing here, let’s put on some sounds of running water and light some candles and do a very superficial going over and get you out the door” deal. It felt more like PT, only BETTER than any PT I’ve ever gotten. He got my legs moving in ways I didn’t think were quite possible. He clearly knows what he’s doing, on a physiological level, and also from being a runner himself. The best and most telling part though is when I finally got up off the table. I immediately felt significantly better than when I had walked in the door. Moving in ways that were almost impossible in the morning felt so much more comfortable right away. I was, and still am, amazed. And extremely grateful.”
“I first met John in Summer 2008 while doing altitude training in preparation for the Olympic Trial 10K. I’ve worked with score of massage therapists in the past, but during that crucial time in my season I was very fortunate to have found one as knowledgeable and thorough as John. His work was excellent, but John went above and beyond what others in his profession do. Unlike other massage therapists who are accustomed to doing the usual cookie-cutter work, John was intent on digging deeper and having a two-way patient-therapist communication that enabled us to find and correct not only the usual problems that distance runners are prone to, but many more that were the underlying causes thereof. John doesn’t just treat the symptoms; he works with you to resolve them.”
“John has been key in keeping me healthy and competitive through a number of running seasons. With his body work, I have been able to stay healthy and set 8k and 10 mile personal bests while in my early thirties. I would recommend John to any athlete who is continually trying to improve in his or her sport. As every competitive athlete knows, the secret to improvement is consistent practice. John’s massage therapy enabled me to stay injury free and allowed me to run my best at every practice session.”
“When it comes to massage therapy, John Stiner is in a league of his own. I’m fortunate enough to work with John several times a month, and I can honestly say I’m a better runner because of him. John also has a running background and has worked with some of the top distance runners in the world. His services go way beyond massage therapy. After seeing John I recover faster and get more out of my future workouts. Check him out. I promise you’ll be amazed.”
“John’s massage work helped me get through some difficult stretches of hard training that may have otherwise caused injury. His creative and thoughtful approach to healing, as well as his knowledge of anatomy and massage experience, played a large part in helping me bounce back from various ailments. The result was nothing less than fantastic!”
“Coming from a running background, I had the typical tight hamstrings and many other tight muscle groups. I was training for my first Ironman. Early on, my coach recommended that I see a massage therapist: John Stiner.
Having never worked with a massage therapist, I was unsure of what to expect. John was excellent. He took time to listen to my concerns and developed a plan. He was very knowledgable and very skilled. He was an important member of my team to get me ready for my race. I had a few injuries along the way, but helped me through all of that. It was amazing to see how flexible I had become.
If you need to see a massage therapist, without hesitation, I would strongly recommend Stiner Massage.”
