John Stiner helps me run faster and feel better. He provides far more than a therapeutic massage…read more I am a 38-year-old data guy (computer programmer) who escapes the electric screen by running in master's track meets. John's racing experience and his indomitable and honest belief in the performance-enhancing ability of smart practice and weakness-reducing exercises keep me running strong. Regular massages by John and applying his advice contributed to me running this year my fastest age-graded time in the 400 meter dash, and that was only my first race of the season (June, 2019). John's massage techniques are unique. He diagnoses what ails you with a variety of tests, stares at the anatomical charts on his walls, and patiently massages while providing training tips based on what I tell him. And we also talk about life and have some laughs. I always leave his office feeling more confident and eager to overcome challenges. I left John's office today with a normal-feeling ankle that previously seemed to require a doctor's visit. My steps also felt lighter and more comfortable after intensely racing on Sunday. His work on the psoas area could help athletes and non-athletes. As he says, tight hips plague many of us because of all the sitting we do. I am no physician but my guess is John has kept people from needing surgery. He fixes the root cause of one's musculoskeletal maladies so we can keep doing what we love.

This spa has only been in business for about two months, and my wife and I partook in a couples Swedish massage. I didn't catch anyone's name, but it seems like Mark was most likely my masseuse based on reviews here and on Google. He is definitely skilled at his trade. He was putting the right pressure, and it was extremely relaxing with the nice elevator music and massage oils on top. Very clean place and he was very welcoming and cordial and would make sure you were enjoying yourself throughout the service. The business is located in mediocre looking strip mall in Durham, which gave us some hesitancy, but don't let that sway you. This is probably the place my wife will come back to when she craving some R&R

My spine doctor suggested I get back on track with getting massages so I did some research and found Bull City Massage Therapy offered a massage called Myofascial Release. After reading the description of what it entailed, it sounded perfect for me. The Myofascial Release massage involves applying gentle, sustained pressure into myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. I easily booked a 60 minute session with Nina online through their app Vagaro. Nina was great and spent the whole 60 minutes massaging the pain area I requested. It was so nice to hear a crack of where the knot has been hurting me. While the pain is not completely gone (I'm not expecting a one session miracle), I was very happy with how I felt afterwards. Like my doctor, Nina also recommended that I keep up with this type of massage to truly help mitigate my pain. Bull City is located in the lower level of a building in downtown Durham. The business was very cozy with warm lighting. I went on a Saturday for my appointment and Bull City said I could park at the lot next to their building (because it was a weekend), but I was slightly nervous from all the tow signs even though the front desk employee assured me it was fine. I opted to park at the Church St. Parking Garage. It was a 5 minute walk and free when I was there. Please note that there is no guarantee it will always be free if downtown Durham has events on weekends. All in all, I'd go here again - especially for a Myofascial Release massage!
