Because Johnna (I think that's how you spell it) was very knowledgeable and didn't hold back on applying the pressure I needed for my knots and sore areas. This experience blew my only other massage out of the water. I actually feel better than I did before I visited. I will be coming back and may even get friends and family a massage as gifts. Excellent establishment. Keep up the good work.
