James is a true professional and knows what the therapy in massage therapy actually is. Chronic pain is a terrible life sentence when there is no hope of relief. James takes his license seriously and that makes all the difference.

James Fritschle is more competent than most orthopedists in my experience. He spends time actually determining the nature of the problem, likely causes and providing recommendations on exercises, icing, heat etc. for you to implement. .

It was my first appointment with James, he made sure to find out where my problem areas were and any history I had with injuries. My session was customized based on my intake interview and was exactly what I needed. James was thorough and checked in regularly to make sure I was comfortable and to explain any observations he made during the session. James is extremely knowledgeable about the body and what can happen during stresses we put upon it while exercising or doing an event such as a triathlon. I highly recommend James.

by Rachel on Sep 2018

Verified

I tell everyone James is magical. I frequently stress my body (not just muscles, but ligaments and tendons) due to overuse, and James never fails to get me back in working order. He has an extensive knowledge of the human body and the interconnectedness of our systems, personal experience as an athlete who understands stressors induced from intense training, and a gift for finding inflammation and stimulating healing. And he moves mountains in his schedule to squeeze me in when I whine-text him with my latest injury. I recommend James to all my friends with sports-related injuries.

by Joy on Sep 2018

Verified

My massage was absolutely fantastic. James was very knowledgeable about the muscles most susceptible to tightness and soreness and the imbalance that triathletes experience because of our workout schedule of swimming, biking and running. He especially worked on the tightness in my shoulders gently but effectively. I have had massages before that the therapist alleviated some of the tightness but was very rough and uncomfortable. I definitely plan to continue scheduling massages with James.
