Johnny was kind and compassionate from our first contact. After calling multiple therapists in BV in search of someone comfortable and capable of addressing lymphedema, Johnny shared a little about his background and training; that gave me the confidence to schedule with him. Johnny did background research on my medications and did a thorough assessment of problem areas and recent surgical scars. He consistently checked in with me to ensure that I was comfortable. I left that first session with more range of motion and alleviation of pain from cording. I returned 5 days later for another massage. Johnny concentrated on lymphatic drainage and worked to break up scar tissue. If only I lived closer, I would see Johnny on a regular basis (I think 700 miles may be a little too far of a commute). I will definitely schedule with Johnny whenever I return to BV. He is a hidden gem of a resource for anyone needing specialized care and treatment! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

John is the best. One stop for all recovery needs- he’s very knowledgeable and professional and he really cares for his clients. He goes above and beyond by texting or calling to follow up on your body’s response to the work.

A Helping Hand Massage was exactly what the doctor ordered! A quiet, serene space with a competent therapist, a furry friend was an added bonus. My experience was so wonderful that I was able to book a another visit before returning home.

Great location just a few minutes outside of town. I had an excellent experience from start to finish! They send you paperwork ahead of time that is easy to fill out online, and provide instructions on their location and where to park. John was sure to wear a mask during service. You are guaranteed to have a safe, healing, and restoring experience with A Helping Hand Massage!
