I booked a deep tissue massage, but the session consisted mostly of stretching and pressing rather than actual deep tissue work. I left feeling unsatisfied and confused, especially given the high rating of this place. I'm not sure if I just had an off experience, but based on this visit, I wouldn't return.

I don't normally leave reviews this early into treatment, but I've noticed such a difference that I…read morefelt like I should. I've been dealing with what feels like every issue imaginable lately. MRIs, specialists, arm numbness, back pain, ankle and heel pain, and thumb pain. I started seeing Dr. Kim a few weeks ago, and we've been doing shockwave therapy on my ankle, heel, and thumb. The improvement has honestly been amazing. The biggest win has been my thumb. After just two sessions, I could finally feel my grip coming back after struggling with simple things like opening jars and even doors since last October. My arm numbness and back have also improved, and every visit I leave feeling a little better than the last. Dr. Kim takes the time to explain what's going on, answers all of my questions, and genuinely cares about getting his patients better. He'll also tell you he doesn't like small talk... don't believe him. Somehow every appointment ends up with a great conversation. Bonus points for being so sweet with my fur baby, Jaxx, whenever he comes with me. That definitely earned extra credit. If you're dealing with chronic pain or are curious about shockwave therapy, I'd definitely recommend Back on Point Wellness. My only regret is not finding Dr. Kim sooner!

I recently had my first visit with Dr. Ernest Kim at Back Point Wellness and I honestly can't…read morerecommend him enough. I'd been dealing with this massive stress ball lump in my neck for almost a year and nothing was working. I tried foam rolling and stretching constantly at home but it just wouldn't budge. When I went in, Dr. Kim really took the time to talk through my pain and actually listen to what was going on. He does these specific stretches during the adjustment that made a huge difference, and he definitely went above and beyond what I expected for a first appointment. My partner even noticed that the lump was finally gone after my visit and told me my walking and posture look way better. I'm complaining about pain so much less now and just feel more aligned. Even a few weeks later, my back and neck are still feeling great. I'm definitely looking forward to adding these visits to my regimen whenever I'm in pain again and need an adjustment.

Review #1006 2026-076…read more I found Massage By Jaqu & Cait shortly after my car accident. My physical therapist suggested acupuncture &/or massage along with PT to help with the recovery process. I'm not a fan of needles & uncomfortable with massage (personal boundaries & extremely ticklish), though the latter is more tolerable. I did various key word searches & jotted a few on a list... while Massage By Jaqu & Cait was not listed as a top 3 on any of the searches (probably because there's only a handful of reviews), they were responsive to my inquiry about their services. I mentioned that my physical therapist suggested massage to help with my recovery, but I'm sensitive to touch & extremely ticklish. Jaqu says she can work with me & adjust accordingly to my temperament. I booked with her since she answered my call & had first availability. I liked that she always sends a confirmation text the day before my appointment. To book an appointment, go to their website: jaquandcait.com to search for availability. Following the selected date, there's a detailed booking form that requires your contact info, massage type, massage pressure, & injuries disclosure with an optional message section; it also allows you to pay immediately or pay in person. I always pay at the time of booking, so I'm not sure what happens to your payment if you have to reschedule or cancel. On my initial visit, I was warmly greeted & surprised to see a large, friendly dog beside her! He's a guide dog because she's visually impaired. After the quick intro, she showed me the bathroom & led me downstairs to her therapy room. It's spacious & clean, decorated in soft neutral, earthy colors with an open bookcase opposite of the bed to store your belongings & clothes. The room temperature is always just right, I never feel chilly while undressed on the table, or too warm if it's hot outside. From the get-go, Jaqu applied perfect firm pressure & broad strokes that I never laughed. Though we usually start randomly chatting, I find myself feeling drowsy/sleepy from her seamless flow that melts away my pain & physical tension. She seems to know exactly what's wrong & how to break that tightness & pain, particularly where I injured my back & shoulders. Jaqu is so good that I get "massage drunk" because I'm so relaxed afterwards my blood pressure is lowered & I'm dehydrated from fluids moving; I'm also deeply relaxed that I need a post-massage nap. I always hydrate just before my session & carry a water bottle to immediately drink after. I'm really reactive to her massage because my face is also flushed for a couple of hours thereafter, though my kids think I have (blush) make-up on; apparently, my skin is "glowing" according to my youngest. My husband says I look more youthful. ;-) Services Offered (as of 03/2025): Deep Tissue, Swedish, Thai, Lomi Lomi, Stretch Therapy, Neuromuscular, Cranial Sacral, Lymphatic, Sports, Cupping, Prenatal/Post Partum, Seniors. In Office Massage: 60-Min: $180 90-Min: $270 120-Min: $360 60-Min Double Massage w/Jaqu & Cait: $630 In Home Massage: 60-Min: $330 90-Min: $430 120-Min: $660 60-Min Double Massage w/Jaqu & Cait: $1,200 Adding massage to my biweekly PT sessions definitely helped in my recovery, especially the improving my frozen (left) shoulder! How does massage help in my recovery? It relaxes muscles (easing the tension around my injury), boosts blood flow (I typically feel lightheaded, like I'm floating after the session), breaks down scar tissue (maintaining flexibility for PT). While I feel some soreness, it's a good pain; I'm generally more flexible for a few days & can work a little harder in my PT sessions. Massage By Jaqu & Cait has great hours, open 7 days/week. I've only worked with Jaqu, & booked mostly after work & on weekends. Jaqu is an amazing masseuse... professional, friendly, intuitive hands, & superb physical stamina!! She's a mom of 3, & works from her basement unless she's on call for a home visit. What makes her so great is... her technical skills in knowing your anatomy & applying adaptive pressure without it being jarring on your body; actively listening either by voice (when I say I'm in too much pain) or by touch (when I flinch because my body can't handle the pressure), & adjusts accordingly; superb physical stamina from start to finish (the ending fades in a slow down finish, switching to slightly lighter pressure to calm & relax my body). If you're looking for a professional & intuitive expert masseuse, I highly recommend Jaqu at Massage By Jaqu & Cait!! She'll help you disconnect from the outside world, physically relax, & detox your body!

I've been getting bodywork from Jaqu, and what I appreciate most is her decompression series and…read morethe focused work she does on my upper thoracic spine. I have a habit of rounding my shoulders forward, and I tend to develop some kyphosis through my upper back. Between driving long hours and working in a warehouse, my posture really takes a hit. Her work doesn't just feel good in the moment -- it actually helps correct the tension patterns I build up from daily life. The decompression work opens my chest, restores mobility in my upper back, and gives my shoulders the reset they need. It's become crucial for me to stay functional and keep up with the physical demands of my job. Bodywork isn't a luxury for me anymore -- it's maintenance. And with Jaqu, I know I'm getting targeted, intelligent care that keeps me moving.
