It concludes with abdominal massage - an external, non invasive manipulation that addresses abdominal muscles and fascia as well as the position and health of internal organs.

AWESOME
10/03/2011
Suzanne G says: A massage from Joan is always wonderful. It is not only relaxing but very helpful. My shoulders are a very difficult area, Joan has worked magic on them and their range of motion!
Joan S. Cole's work as Tissue Pain Specialist
9/24/2011
athan c says: Joan has already addressed and repaired neck/shoulder issues I have had for over 40 years; now she is beginning work on muscular misalignments in my sacral area, also of many years' standing. The work she does is often quite painful, but that goes away, and eventually one begins to find that one has an entirely new range of pain-free movement, and that one's entire posture and even one's way of walking begin to adjust towards a healthier and more balanced position. No other massage technician I have ever seen has even been capable of determining just what had gone wrong with me as a result of various injuries and perhaps even some early developmental difficulties, let alone been able to address and correct such deep-seated, long-standing issues. It is a pity that so-called Physical Therapists, who sometimes can do no more for a sufferer than recommend a few exercises (which may or may not actually help matters) are supported by various health plans, while technicians like Joan, so far, are not really recognized by the medical profession. I would unhesitatingly recommend her work for many applications, from simple relaxation massage to the deepest (however painful) tissue and muscle realignments.

Katherine B says: Joan is one of the most skilled masseuses I have been to see. She has fixed things in my back and shoulders that have been painful for years. Thanks, Joan, for keeping me on my feet!

Audrey B says: Amazing! Joan is so knowlegeable! I feel great!
Terrific
2/19/2011
Bruce L says: Joan really knows muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones -- how they get into trouble and how to fix them. A tremendous deep-tissue massage. I'm going to be a regular client.
Joan Cole massage
2/18/2011
athan c says: More than 'just' a massage, this was a deep exploration & partial releasing of muscles injured many decades ago. It was painful, as I expected, but Joan knows *exactly* what she's doing. I highly recommend Joan and plan on seeing her once a week for at least the next 6 weeks, and then probably again, after I return from two weeks of difficult physical effort overseas!!
Best massage I have ever had
12/18/2010
Suzanne G says: Joan is wonderful! I would tell anyone who wants a great massage to go to her.
RELAXING!!
12/11/2010
Susan M says: Joan is wonderful!! I have been having trouble with neck and shoulder pain for awhile now and after my session with her, I could tell a big difference. I've finally found someone who gives not only a relaxing massage, but also one that is very therapeutic! Thanks, Joan!
Joan is a very caring and great person!
11/16/2010
Bogdan B says: Joan is very patient and has helped me with therapy for injuries many times. She always continues her learning and is very knowledgeable. She also answers questions and explains what she is doing, not just does it. I'm very satisfied and glad that I found her!
Just What I Needed
9/21/2010
Emily F says: I had a Fijian massage and felt like a completely different, rejuvenated person immediately afterward. I could tell my posture improved, as well as my overall energy. I strongly recommend Joan's talents. She is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about her profession.
Wonderful!
8/03/2010
Ruth M says: I had a wonderful experience with Joan. She was kind and gentle. I had never experienced this kind of massage before and I can't wait to go again! Wish I had found her years ago!!
Exquisite and Invigorating~
6/11/2010
an p says: Joan is a gifted healer. In great need of a rebalancing of mind, body and spirit, Joan's work was a Godsend. Kim's comment on Joan's nature of caring is echoed here. Its also the level of skill and effectiveness that puts Joan at the top of my list of professionals I'm fortunate to come into contact with !
Indian Head Massage
5/07/2010
Samantha H says: I had the Indian Head Massage and Joan worked the knots out so well I felt like my shoulders were two inches lower after she was done. Though it was a very targeted massage my whole body felt relaxed and that feeling lasted long after I left.
Healing Hands, Gentle Spirit
8/19/2009
Kim K says: I love to feel my muscles relax and release under Joan's strong and kind hands. I have been going to her for about a year now and I always feel better afterwards. I can talk as little or as much as I like during our sessions. Her prices are very reasonable and my sessions feel relaxed and not rushed. She's present with me, my body and my healing. Her nature is caring and she is always learning more and bringing that knowledge to our sessions.
Great Massage
5/11/2009
Debbie F says: I really like Joan's style. She does a great job getting all the kinks out of my back and still getting the rest of me relaxed.
Wonderful!!!
