Last week we were on vacation in Palm Desert, and the first night a shoulder cramp/knot that had been bothering me all the week before acted up, and I couldn't sleep in the bed. I looked around on Yelp for a massage place to work out the knot, and chose Performance Bodyworks because they had good reviews, and were focused on the physio- side, not the spa side, They were able to squeeze me in Tuesday for a 1 hr massage. Fernanda did the massage. And I will admit: The massage was painful at time -- I had some really bad knots. I was also unsure about the cupping. But... from that night on, I was able to sleep in bed, and as things calmed down from the insult of breaking the cramp, it really started to make things feel better. So looking back a week later, I'm really pleased. An hour of deep muscle massage made the rest of the week bearable (and it was so much better than the mall massage I had gotten before). I will remember massages like this in the future when muscles really cramp up, and if we're back in the Coachella Valley when it happens, I'll give these folks a call. read more

This is my first time being stretched....I honestly was nervous and was not sure this was for "normal" people like me. I sent a message to Amanda via IG asking if normal people benefit from Fascial stretching....I'm pretty sure she giggled at my messages (I would have..LOL) however she was kind and said there are no silly questions and that everyone can benefit from Fascial stretching....so, i set up a 30 minute appointment and it was fantastic!! She was gentle, has a calming voice and communicated as she worked her magic. At some point during the stretch my sinuses even opened up!! It was like a bonus!! Not only are my hips more open so are my sinuses...LOL!! My neck is lose, my shoulder, but mostly my hips....OMG....it felt so good!! Highly recommend Amanda and will be sharing my experience with all my friends. I am already looking forward to seeing her again. read more

Cristiana was nothing short of a miracle. I have myofacial pain disease and have been in extreme pain for weeks, fatigued, and lacking energy. After one hour, the pain was gone. I'm not tired anymore and I am loving life! Thanks!!! read more

Had an appointment with Chantel this morning for my right hip bursa pain. It is a 55 minute appointment and she stretched, massaged my tight muscles. Such a wonderful feeling of relief from my sharp pain and stress I carry in my upper body. I made a return appointment for a week from now and I can't wait to return. If you have pain you can't get rid of like myself by visiting your doctor for medication...try Chantel and you won't regret it. read more

If you're entertaining the thought, please just book the appointment and see for yourself the wonders they can do for you here. Great place! Staff really knows what they're doing, super friendly too! I hurt my back, and booked a PRRT with Les. Didn't heal right away ofc, but huge difference. He helped me out tremendously! Chantel truly cares to help as she made time to come in earlier next day to do a cupping and light fascia stretch for me. A real life Wonder Woman. It's surreal the way she can read your body and pinpoint what's going on. No other words but just book the appointment read more

Christianna (sp?) was amazing...My daughter gave me a gift card for her and I was nervous because I have been suffering from sciatica for a while and was in a lot of pain. I've gone to see her twice. She used fascial stretching on me the second time and it really helped... I wanted to have her work on me again, and she wasn't available so I made an appointment with Irma. Wonderful experience, too. Irma used cupping on me and I had never had that done before. She was confident and knowledgeable. It was a valuable experience. I HIGHLY recommend Performance Bodyworks for anyone who is hurting. You can't go wrong. I am really impressed and will continue to go there because it works!!!!! read more

Chantel from Performance Bodyworks was highly recommended to me by a friend for pregnancy back pain that was not resolving with chiropractic treatment. In one session, she was able to diagnose the problem, eliminate the pain and also recommend at home exercises. I am so grateful to have found a knowledgeable expert that delivers long lasting results!!! Thanks Chantel!!! read more

I suffer from migraines and constant pain in my neck and shoulders & after just one visit here my health has improved! I made an appointment to get a massage and I have to say this was the best massage I've ever had!! Christiana really listened to all of my concerns and where my pain is and she truly focused on them. She was very sweet - she explained everything to me if I had any questions she is very knowledgeable. I had large knots to where my shoulders weren't sitting right - I was in excruciating pain before going in and I walked out feeling so relieved. For the first time in months I have been able to actually sleep comfortably. It was so good I'm going make going in for massages more of a priority for my health. I'm so so happy I found performance body works I highly recommend all of the services they provide if you struggle with pain like me. read more

Chantel does such incredible work. She's thorough, present, intuitive & knows which areas need the most work without you even telling her. I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for body work that is far beyond just a massage. It is a completely transformative & healing experience. Thank you again, Chantel read more

No matter what your previous body therapy experiencia might be, do yourself a favor and book a session with Chantal. She will introduce you to fascia stretching, a full range of motion assisted movement technique that is like nothing else I've tried before. My lower back felt an immediate relief, and I was instantly more comfortable. I only wish I lived closer so I could make it part of my weekly routine! read more

I highly recommend Chantal and her team of fascia stretch therapists. I suffered a very bad back and hip injury and they truly have been the reason I have gotten mobility back. If you have not tried full body fascia stretching and/or cupping give it a shot! Your body will thank you! I saw chantal before my injury and visited 1/2 times per month during this injury 3/4 times a month and have gotten the relief and have been recovering nicely. Your neck and back will thank you! Highly recommended for athletes/body builders looking to get to the next level or anyone looking for more mobility! Did you stretch tho?! Something many of us are lazy abou!

Not sure where to begin. Your assistance and level of commitment to my overall physical improvement is nothing short of amazing.

I'm on a great path and feel better each time you inflict pain upon me. Doing the hard work is well worth it. Much respect!! read more

My first time here and I'm extremely happy with my results. Thank you Chantel now I'm able to lift my left arm and it feels great! Thank you

Chantel is amazing! I've had an injury that I haven't been able to work through with chiropractic and massage over the past 4 years. Since seeing Chantel a few times I have been able to increase strength without any pain and have noticed an increase in my range of motion. I have learned a lot from her about why the body responds the way it does to injuries and how to maintain my desired range of motion. Can't recommend enough. read more

Chantel is a HEALER. PERIOD. My 12yr old son had a lingering sports injury that just would not go away... that is until Chantel worked on him. She is in-tune with the body, mind and spirit and was able to pinpoint the exact issue. She allowed us to feel how the body had tightened up to protect the injury, causing further problems and tightness throughout the area. She put my son at ease and has allowed him to see first-hand how complicated and wonderful the body is and how important it is to be in-tune with it. What I found most amazing about her work was after the both sessions, my son had this lightness about him as he made his way from the table to the car, where he immediately fell asleep. When we got home, he proceeded to take a nap in enjoyment of the euphoria he was feeling. The body was healing. After the second session, he was able to compete again with caution and thanks to the home stretches she gave him, he is now at 95% (we have another session booked for maintenance!) I can not say enough good things about Chantel. We will be lifelong clients for sure! read more
