Myoworks Massage

Dec 06, 2024

So happy with my experience with James. He is professional, caring and a skilled practitioner. I always get relief from pain I'm experiencing in my back and shoulders after a session. I recommend myoworks if you are seeking a massage therapist skilled in physiology and pain relief.

Came in for shoulder tension and left more relaxed than I've felt in years. James was very attentive and checked-in throughout. I will definitely be going back!

I very much enjoyed my time with James; he was so attentive to how he moved my limbs and what directions he'd give me. There was also a sense of conversational ease — we could talk about everything ranging from his background to his reflections about the massage therapy profession more generally, and it wouldn't interrupt his concentration at all. I really appreciated his humility, patience, and self-reflective attitude: it's pretty rare to find practitioners who are as down-to-earth and grounded in what is plausible in the massage therapy territory, in my experience. While I am of the opinion that active interventions like exercise regimens probably can accomplish more on average than passive interventions like manual therapies for a lot of things, it's not a bad idea to consider supplementing with a dose of massage therapy. For that, James is your guy!

Great massage! 10/10

First massage in while, it was exactly what I was looking for. Both relaxing and stretching/mobility oriented

UPDATE: I've been Myoworks a few times since my first review. Always a great experience! I highly recommend James. 2022:Had a session today, it was fantastic! James is professional and very knowledgeable. Booking was fast and easy. I added the aromatherapy to my massage and it was great, spa-like but not too strong or flowery. Also, I have quite a few allergies, including nuts and avocado, which I noted on my in-take forms. James made sure the lotion was free of those items and brought up the issue without me having to ask. I appreciated his thoughtfulness and his taking the issue seriously. Highly recommend!

Amazing massage! Very relaxing but also thanks to James’ physio knowledge I left better informed about the real locations of my aches and pains and how to further work on them at home with stretching

James is hands down the best masseuse I've ever been to. I follow a regular HIIT and cardio workout program and have a job that requires me to be seated for long periods of the day. Following a session with James, my body feels immediately healed and rejuvenated to take on anything. It's very relaxing. He's incredibly professional and makes you feel comfortable from the very beginning. Easy scheduling and helpful reminders for upcoming appointments - easy street parking nearby the building. Highly recommend!

I came in super stressed due to grieving and a move. I left feeling relaxed, like I had no worries. I used to be a massage therapist, and know how to recognize a good massage when I get one. His heated adjustable table makes the experience even more soothing. I'm grateful I have such a talented therapist nearby!

James is a different experience and I would urge you to book with him if you have long term muscular tension, residual issues from injuries or just treating your body poorly/not understanding it or if you need someone to help in conjunction with PT after a surgery. I have insane muscle tension that has caused migraines for years, knots in the base of my neck I’ve treated with injections, I’ve done regular massage for knots and I do weekly massage after having my left shoulder reconstruction done in October 2022. All to come to James two weeks ago in a tight ball, with a three day tension migraine, knots everywhere and had been in a plateau and just in pain. I was convinced my blood pressure was high due to the muscle tension across my chest. James knew immediately where to start and how to explain it to me. James just gets it. I don’t have to be the expert, he knew what to ask and then he went to work. Some of it requires me breathing while I lift shoulders & release while he does his thing, but bottom line he is truly opening up things that have been locked and tight for years. My surgeon is baffled by my range of motion in my shoulder which after last week we can do without it pinching or hurting as much in my lat. I’m comfortable with him and more importantly I trust him and I’m willing to listen because we’re on to something and he’s not just doing the same thing other providers do that “feels good” but in 3 days you need to go back. James is creating slow change that is felt in small ways over time and I’m infinitely grateful. TL:DR - book with him if you need your life changed and a qualified, trusted practitioner. He’s the real deal and patient, kind and honestly I don’t know how he gets through a session without his hands cramping. He’s impressive. Go.

James is truly a gifted healer and I am so glad to be working with him. I've explored many different healing modalities over the years and they all have their own benefits, but for what I am working on and trying to accomplish with untangling the knots of negative energy and trauma that have been trapped in my body for so long, this is exactly what I need. I truly appreciate the overall feeling of well-being that I walk out of his office with after every session. It has really helped me be able to regulate my nervous system and take the necessary steps to move forward in my life. Thank you James!

James was absolutely amazing, helping diagnose what was causing pain and tight muscles, and expertly working to loosen, stretch, and release those muscles. I will definitely be coming back here again!

Feb 06, 2024

On my first visit, James relieved my chronic back pain and my recent side pain. I look forward to continuing appointments.

Feb 06, 2024

This masseuse has wisdom and strength to deliver a massage that is deep and effective.

Feb 06, 2024

This was a great experience!!

Feb 06, 2024

This was the massage I had been desperately searching for! My neck and shoulders were incredibly tense and stiff, but he skillfully loosened them up. The sensation was both intense and satisfying, in the best possible way. It's evident that he possesses extensive knowledge of the functional and structural anatomy of the muscles. His expertise truly shone through as he effectively targeted and relieved the stubborn knots in my neck and shoulders. I would rate his service a perfect 10/10. I am definitely planning to return for more.

Top notch therapist.

Feb 06, 2023

Good, deep massage. Cool chair. James also spent time afterwards going over some stretches I should try at home.

Feb 06, 2023

Highly recommend James! He’s professional and knowledgeable, and has a really nice vibe. His massage table moves a few different ways which I’ve never experienced before, it’s super cool. Also the aromatherapy is amazing.

Feb 06, 2023

Highly recommend. James knows his craft well and has helped my back pain immensely. I haven't been able to book as frequently as I want due to my schedule, but I will be booking with him again soon!

Feb 06, 2023

I hadn't received a massage since before COVID, and forgot how nice it is. James is awesome, probably the best massage I ever received!

Feb 06, 2023

I have been a massage therapist for 10 years so I can tell a good one when I meet them. James has a solid grasp of anatomy and technique, and he expertly treated my issues. His demeanor is relaxed and professional. His treatment room is simple but functional. I only wish I could see him every week!

Feb 06, 2023

I have loved seeing James for massages since I have moved to Seattle. Each visit is customized and he really cares about anatomy and making the most out of your visit which I really appreciate. I will definitely be continuing to go.

Feb 06, 2023

I'm finally succumbing to leaving a review for James. I haven't wanted to because I didn't want word to get out about how worth it is to see him. He has been incredibly helpful in getting my body to where it needs to be for the skiing and climbing objectives I go for throughout the world. James seems to be able to unlock parts of your body as if you are just a simple machine that needs some tuning. Appreciative of him having his business here in LQA, best around!

Feb 06, 2023

James is awesome! He takes the time consult with where I am at pain-wise and gives amazing tips on what I can do to maintain. I always leave feeling great- mentally and physically.

Feb 06, 2023

This time I ordered a 90 min deep message. James is really very patient and asked every questions I have asked. He is so professional, he absolutely knows which muscle is tight. After his message, I feel so relaxed. He even taught what should I do to stretch my muscle.

Feb 06, 2023

Very structured and helpful! James was able to pinpoint many areas on my body that needed more focus.

Feb 06, 2022

Best massage therapist I have ever gone to and I have been to a lot. I have been seeing him for about 4 years. He is the best.

Feb 06, 2022

I've had issues with my back for years and will definitely be back. James is very knowledgeable and after only one session I am seeing a huge improvement with my mobility!

Feb 06, 2022

James is an outstanding, highly skilled, and professional massage therapist. I have been working with him for years and would recommend him to anyone.

Feb 06, 2022

James is the best therapist I’ve ever had! Been working with him for over a year now and my body feels so much better. I look forward to each appointment, knowing that he will take care of any issue I have. Thank you!!

Feb 06, 2022

James is very intentional with his work. He always asks the right questions to navigate what I need help with that day. I feel comfortable in his space and I look forward to the next appointment after each one!

Feb 06, 2022

James was very responsive to my questions prior to booking, and listened intently to the issues and concerns I had. He was very professional and gave easy direction when I needed to adjust postures for better accessibility. As someone who is forever cold, the table was warmed perfectly from the start. The single session alone opened up my airway considerably, and I am very sore (a good sore!) the day after. The 90 minutes was not nearly enough! Thanks again!

Feb 06, 2022

The first time I scheduled a visit, I was in a lot of pain from a week of sitting down for too long, plus migraines and a general lack of exercise/stretching. I was expecting some relief. However, what I got was so much more! I felt absolutely great after my massage. James tool care of muscles that were overlooked by the majority of therapists I've visited before. Overall, the vibe I got is that he knows very well what he is doing, and when you visit, you'll get a no-frills, effective massage. I have been back a few times already, and plan to continue being a patient!
