First Coast Neuromuscular Massage

After making an appointment for a daughter and hearing rave reviews, I made my own appointment with Ron. I had general neck & shoulder tightness and lower back pain, but gave him a quick rundown of health history which included an auto accident 20 years ago which resulted in a limited range of motion in my left arm. Ron's therapeutic massage is not for someone wanting a relaxing casual massage experience- it is intense. He got to hear my full repertoire of colorful vocabulary. He worked on my shoulders, back and piriformis and then said, 'let's see what I can do with that arm'. I almost told him not to bother, because after 20 years, orthopedists, other massage therapists and PT, it was a waste of time. Whatever he did with my shoulder and armpit was so so painful I didn't think I could take anymore when he had me give it a try- and with a bit of a grind, I lifted my arm all the way up for the first time since 2003. Even though he warned me it might need more work, it hasn't- I've been back again for other work, but he fixed my arm! I am so grateful, and so sad he's leaving Jax. If you are in Ohio, have a body and need fixing, make an appointment with Ron and get your bad words ready!

Ron is an amazing therapist! I have been doing massage for over 7 years now, and when I say hes one of the best in the business I mean it. Hes very professional, knowledgeable and listens closely to your needs so he can provide the best bodywork to address your problem areas. I have gone to him for lymphatic drainage and trigger point therapy and would recommend him to anyone looking for holistic relaxation and relief from chronic/acute pain and tension. Thanks for the work you do!!

Following cancer surgery in my leg, I developed a fluid build up in the knee and groin area. I tried a few different therapist to try the problematic lymph nods drained but with very little results. Then I found Ron who is 1.5 hours away from where I live. After the very first treatment I saw a big change and continued to see very noticeable progress after each treatment thereafter. I am so happy to have found him. He is professional, knowledgeable and does not try to oversell or pressure you into unnecessary added treatments. Furthermore his prices are very reasonable. He is easy to talk to and caring. He is worth my travel and every penny he charges. I recommend him highly.

Ron really helped me with pain in my legs due to swelling from lipedema before and after surgery. He is an expert in manual lymphatic drainage and shared a lot about how the lymphatic system works... and also helped me to understand why this type of massage is so effective when other massage techniques or therapists who are not specifically trained in MLD can cause more swelling. He has a light but effective touch that made my legs feel relief from the very first time. Even if you don't have lipedema this is relaxing and so beneficial to wellness for everyone.
