PowaZ Performance Therapy - Elite Sport Performance Body Work

Yao and I worked together on Thia chair massage. I had told him about the tension from my neck and he was able to help with my range of motion in my shoulder and arm and help relieve the pain level. He taught me some extra thia moves in the process. Yao has a sense of peace to his presence, it comes with all the trust and knowledge in this field. 10/10 recommend

I’m a commercial diver out of Jacksonville, and before this, I was in the military, so I’ve picked up a good amount of injuries over the years. On top of that, working in heavy marine construction doesn’t really help either. I’ve been dealing with lower back issues from compressed discs, really tight hips from lifting, and some shoulder problems, including my supraspinatus. I’ve tried getting massages from different places, just trying to find something that actually works, but nothing really stuck until I came here. I found PowaZ Performance Therapy from a flyer at The Gym Jax, and the experience was completely different from what I expected. This isn’t your typical massage. It’s very targeted, and you actually learn what’s going on with your body and what to do outside of the session. The biggest thing for me was my hips. I walked in and could barely even hold a squat because everything felt locked up. After the session, I was able to get into a clean, straight squat and actually hold it. That alone was huge. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone—not just athletes. Especially blue-collar guys who beat their bodies up and ignore it like I did for years. If you care about longevity and actually fixing the problem, this is the place to go.

I've been struggling with knee pain for a few months after a long hike. I've never had any issues like this before. I wanted to see an expert who could help me fix the issue and Yao is certainly an expert. I could immediately tell the difference in my movement after the various treatments, and if you're curious about the process Yao is happy to share. I find for me it really helps me understand how all the different treatments are working together to benefit me. I'm very excited to not only heal, but push my body to new heights and higher peaks

I was struggling with knee issues and ankle mobility when I came here. My biggest breakthrough from working with Yao was finally being able to train and race again. My specific result was breaking 20 in the 5k after working with Yao for two months which is a goal I’ve been working towards for a year but was unable to because of my knee issues. I would 100% recommend this to any other runners who are struggling with issues in mobility and pain from injury.
