Joy is INCREDIBLE at what she does. She takes her time and creates a very safe environment to promote complete relaxation. The ambience was excellent. I signed up for a 1 hour massage and felt AMAZING after I left. She is incredibly thorough to find out how much pressure someone likes and consistently monitors through-out the entire massage to make sure she is doing the right amount of pressure. The office is nice and clean and peaceful. I HIGHLY recommend Joy to ANYONE looking for a fabulous massage experience. THANK YOU JOY!!! read more

During the last 18 months I have had bilateral hip surgeries and ongoing physical therapy. An integral part of my pre and post recovery plan was massage therapy. As a lifelong surfer I am thankful for the skillful deep massage therapy provided to me by Joy Thompson. I am now surfing again, almost daily. All I can say is I am stronger and healthier due to my experience with Joy. read more

I found Joy through Kaiser and then looked her up on Yelp. I am glad I reached out via her website because she was very responsive and got me in within 2 days of our initial conversation. She was very skilled and very professional and I look forward to visiting her again. She was also very responsive to my description of the type of massage I prefer. She was communicative enough during the massage to make sure I was having the best experience possible while also not being distracting. I felt like she focused on what I asked her to as well as just having an intuitive approach. read more

OK Everyone... There are massage therapists and then there is JOY from Joyful Hands Therapeutic Bodywork! I am the type of guy that enjoys a massage as much as the rest of us. I usually go with my wife and it is usually at a great resort like La Costa, La Quinta, The Grand Wailea etc... So I've been to some world class resorts. I've got to tell you. Joy is in a league of her own. Hands down.... by far... the BEST massage I've ever had. She literally put my body back into place. I feel AMAZING! What happened: I've had tremendous muscle tightening for the past 6 months in my neck and shoulder... I've seen one of the best Chiropractors in town for months and I've seen a MD for the pain and muscle relaxation..... it all has helped my body recover, but none of the above had the dramatic IMMEDIATE relief of tension, like the way Joy worked things out. Honestly, I hurt everyday... I heard she was good, so I kind of knew she could work it out, but I thought it was going to hurt like crazy. Actually, there was no pain at all. She took her time on the tight spots and slowly worked the knots out, using every technique known and even some I've never experienced before to get this tension out. I can't recommend her enough. If you carry neck and shoulder tension like I do, Trust me, See Joy...she's awesome! read more

What a great time I had with Joy and her massage. If my muscles could they would have happy faces, and my nerves did joyful little dances for hours afterwards. read more

I got my first massage from Joy about two weeks ago and it was one of the best massages I've ever had. I have had chronic pain in one of my shoulders for at least 6 years, and have gotten countless massages in an attempt to relieve my pain, and the massage that I got from Joy was certainly one of the very best. I was a little sore the next day in my shoulder but I know that is because Joy really focused on the muscle. She moved my arm in ways that no one else ever had so that she could get to the muscles that were causing me pain. Despite the *slight* soreness the day after, the massage was incredibly relaxing and wonderful. Joy herself is an actual Joy to be around! She is so sweet and caring, we talked for awhile before even beginning the massage, which made me feel comfortable and the whole experience more personal. Not just a chain store where they don't talk to you and do a light massage all over that makes you fall asleep without relaxing your muscles. Joy is nothing like that. Even the ambience and decor of her office made me feel comfortable, like she was inviting me into her home. One more plus- she has a great referral program and specials, so your family and friends can experience the therapeutic magic that Joy has stored in her hands- and you can get a free massage as a result of your referrals! Thanks again for a great massage Joy, I thoroughly enjoyed it! read more

I recently found a "deal" on Groupon for stretch u and thought I'd give it a go. It was ok on the first 2 visits with the young lady, but on the 3rd visit, I ended up with a very strong body builder type guy for a double session of pure torture. I was in so much pain afterward, missing work and unable to do much else. Joy, who is already my miracle worker massage therapist, let me know she would like to try SCENAR on me to see how it would work. Turns out she had been certified for a year and I didn't even know it. By the 3rd visit, I was back to normal and so grateful for her many gifts of healing. She is extremely intuitive, knowledgeable, and careful to ensure that my treatments are complete and tracks my progress. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more
