I came to Julie (off a friend’s recommendation) seeking treatment for a huge knot on my lat muscle which was causing painful breathing, sleeping, sitting; you name it, the knot was causing terrible pain and limiting a lot of my activities. I thought I would just be getting “another massage” as I had in the past. Those massages paled in comparison to the treatment I received from Julie.

 

I have been an athlete my whole life; soccer in middle and high school; competitive rugby in college and a woman’s rugby club thereafter. Having played rugby for the past 9 or 10 years, not only has my body been taken many hits and abuse but my neck and back feel like they are 90 years old, not late 20s.  Even though I am taking a sabbatical from heavy contact sports, I am now involved in dodge ball, kickball and flag football. For the injuries and tight muscles sustained from sports, I’ve had a number of massages which attempted to correct the pain.

 

Also since I am at the age where we are all getting married, having babies, etc, massages at day spas seem to be the requirement for bridal showers and bachelor parties. I have enough experience with massages (despite the reason for them) to know that I don’t want to go to anywhere else besides The Body Business.

 

Not only was my treatment w/ Julie necessary and very relaxing, but so therapeutic. In a short window of time, she pinpointed what seemed like all of my problem areas and more. She hit every single muscle in my back and neck and extracted pain but in the good way that you want it. Despite only having one session with Julie, I know through her treatments my back and neck will be able to get on the right track and be pain free. I would highly recommend The Body Business to anyone looking for either just a relaxing massage session or massages for healing years of sports and injuries.

 "I have been Julie's client for about four years and it a word, she is "amazing".  I had taken early retirement and came to know Julie when a began seriously working out in preparation for attending the Phillies Phantasy Camp.  As my workouts progressed, I found that I was gradually hitting the wall and not able to sustain my training level, let alone go to the next level, due to soreness and a build up of lactic acid in the muscles.  I had never been to a massage therapist before and she immediately put me at ease.  Not only that, over the course of about three or four sessions she eliminated the soreness which enabled me to get back to the gym.

The big news, however, is how Julie has been able to help me this past year in pursuing my newest avocation-golf!  Up until last year, after a round of golf I would experience severe lower back pain which was restricting my movements and steadily reducing my golf outings.  Following a medical consultation and some back x-rays, it was determined that I had extensive scar tissue from an earlier hockey injury.  I took the results to Julie to see if she could help me.  During the next eight weeks Julie was able to break up the scar tissue and free up my lower back so I could make a full turn and swing more freely.  Since then, I have been able to go on extended golf outings and play up to four days in a row virtually pain free.  Now, if she could just fix my swing!"

"I have been a professional squash player for 20 years and have many aches and pains along the way.  One of my most serious problems has been sciatic nerve pain which rendered me immobile for weeks.  I heard about The Body Business and thought I'd give it a try.  I have gone to many massage therapists over the years but have never gotten much relief until I went to see Julie.  She has a great understanding of pain origin and has helped me not only move again properly but to play sports again. I have no doubt that Julie is the main reason I have achieved this.  I would highly recommend her to anyone that has back or muscular pain."

 "I am a professional football player and also play semi-pro baseball.  My busy schedule demands a lot of wear and tear on my body.  Julie has been able to pin point areas where my muscles are sore or tight, allowing me to get more range of motion and coming out of the massage session feeling like a new person!  Julie's friendly rapport with her clients and easy going nature are second to none.  I highly recommend The Body Business."

 "Most athletes know the importance of training and nutrition when it comes to maximizing their potential.  What many don't know is the role that massage can play to enhance their performance.  Squats, dead-lifts, benching and running all tighten my muscles, decrease mobility and increase the risk of injury.  I see Julie regularly to loosen my tight muscles and to help ensure I do not hurt myself when training.  It seems to be working.  I am the only one of the powerlifters at my training center that is 100% injury free.  Julie never rushes when I arrive for my appointment and never watches the clock.  Given my busy schedule, I find online scheduling convenient.  If I find free time at the end of the day, I can quickly check online to see if there are any appointments available and sign up from my office computer for later that day."
