I have been suffering with back issues since my late teens and was eventually diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis and myofascial pain syndrome in my 30's. Being in pain every day can really take a toll on you both mentally and physically, but there are treatments that can make it have less of an impact in your day to day life. If you are looking for a great massage therapist who knows what they are doing, I highly recommend Cho Yao. He has certifications in various therapeutic techniques and knows how to relieve the issues you may be suffering from. In addition to massage, he also offers treatments like cupping and hot stones and his prices are very reasonable compared to the chains like Elements or Massage Envy. Honestly, he is a miracle worker and has really helped in reducing my every day pain and has greatly reduced the frequecy and severity of the muscle spasms that I suffer from. It can be really difficult to find a qualified therapist that knows how to effectively treat the issues you are dealing with. I highly recommend him to anyone who is suffering from issues that massage therapy can alleviate and help you live a life in less pain and drastically improve your quality of life. read more
