Hi Friend,

Happy hump day to you!

Often times I get asked who I recommend for this and that and since I've been in the Newton / Boston area for almost 12 years I've begun to learn who's great and who's not for different things.  The most common question I get is, "who do you recommend for a sore forearm" or "can you recommend a massage therapist", to which my answer is Chris Larson of Joint Ventures Kenmore Square, Boston, MA.  The reason I like Chris is because he is great with a Chinese technique called, Gua Sha, in which he uses a tool, to break up soft tissue restrictions in tough spots like Tennis Elbow.  He's also strong enough to provide deep tissue massage, which many times you need if you've been training hard or have stubborn knots in your shoulders, back or quads.  I also like the fact that he personal trains people, has a great library of books and videos at his office, he's fit, he goes to similar conferences that I do and that he trains in an awesome environment, which is Joint Ventures.  To read the rest of "who do you recommend" and my reviews on Joint Ventures, Gym Source and performbetter.com, please click here.
