Johnston Neuromuscular Therapies and Bodywork

Fantastic experience: I saw a post on YouTube from a HVAC repair technician who found relief from occipital neuralgia by going to a LMT. That was when I found Curran, being only a few miles away was ideal. At 11 PM I sent a message via messagebook and to my surprise he responded a few minutes later, Indicating that he would be happy to help. I was impressed I found Curran to be very personable, compassionate, and extremely dedicated to helping me. He explained in detail the therapy and what I could expect. He has provided some additional stretching exercises to help me strengthen and keep my neck muscles loose which seems to be working without triggering a attack. I have nothing but the highest praise and confidence in Curran and strongly recommend Curran to my friends and family. A recommendation from me is not easy. A provider has to earn my respect and Curran has done that. If I have doubts or feel that a provider is not treating me the way I feel I should be treated I do not go back and I will not make a recommendation. Based on my experience with Curran I urge you to contact him discuss your issue and give it a try. I plan to continue to see Curran as an ongoing preventative maintenance to prevent future headaches.

Fantastic experience: I left feeling great‼️

Fantastic experience: I recently had my first massage with Tara, and I was blown away by her skill and professionalism. I went in with quite a bit of tension and soreness, and Tara worked wonders. Her deep tissue technique is on another level—she has an amazing ability to find tight spots and ease them with just the right amount of pressure. I left feeling like a completely new person! What really stood out to me was how focused she was throughout the entire session. You can tell she takes her work seriously and truly cares about delivering the best possible experience. I felt like I was in very capable hands the whole time. The only thing that initially gave me pause was having to pay and tip in advance when booking online. While it felt a bit unusual, I completely understand why they do it—it’s a smart way to safeguard against no-shows. In the end, Tara’s exceptional service more than made up for it, and I left feeling that every penny was well spent. If you’re looking for a massage therapist who is genuinely talented and knows how to provide real relief, I couldn’t recommend Tara more. I’m so glad I found her and will definitely be back for another session when I need it!

Fantastic experience: Very easy to book a much-needed massage same day! Clean, cozy and inviting atmosphere. Sasha was very personable at reception.

Fantastic experience: I was very pleased with my message with Curran. I went in because of an auto accident and he was very skilled in both relieving pain and helping me regain some movement. What impressed me is that he wanted to do more than just scratch the surface of the pain, but get to the root causes and work toward getting pain free - not just masking it. I have already shared his contact information with family and friends and have every intention of going back in the near future to continue the healing process. Thank you for such a positive experience!

Fantastic experience: I just had my first massage with Curran and it was incredible. I did the 90 minute hot stone massage. I'd had a hot stone massage before and the reason I love them so much is because every one is a little little different and I love the waves or relaxation that surge through my entire body. Curran was very professional and the space was lovely and I felt very comfortable the entire time. I loved the warm lavender eye pillow at the end! Thank you, Curran! I will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: I am constantly messed up and he always undoes the damage.

Fantastic experience: I have never felt more at ease with a therapist as I did with Curran. He certanily knows how to get you back on track.

Fantastic experience: Was in search of a knowledgeable massage therapist who could do more of a sports massage rather than your typical “deep tissue” at massage places. It ended up being exactly what I was looking for. He even was able to give feedback and areas I needed to address in between visits and provided some stretches I could do at home. Have not stopped recommending him to friends.

Fantastic experience: Very professional, fantastic pressure!

Fantastic experience: My lower back was hurting me so much that I made a last minute appointment while on vacation in Shepherdstown. Curran was fantastic. He spent the majority of my 90min on my glutes and hamstrings as he realized that was the source of my problems. After he showed me a stretch I can incorporate into my routine to help avoid this. I was able to hike around Harper's Ferry that same afternoon!

Fantastic experience: Curran is the best and provides a really comfortable and professional atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Man I can write a book are all the details of my massage. It was amazing 2 hrs was not enough I definitely feel fast asleep. Pressure was consistent and vibe of the room was on point. The hot towels the stretching deep tissue, pressure points. I had burning and numbing in my hands and I didn't know what to do. He told me what he thought it was worked what need and all I can say is I feel fantastic this week I cant wait to book again thank you so much looking forward to my next 2hr session.

Fantastic experience: A great relief to find a professional who fully understands the workings of the human body. Throughout all the stretches and massage Curran was able to explain the benefits of what he was doing and work I can do at home to stay active and flexible.

Plan on making visits a regular practice to help with work and cycling induced issues.

Fantastic experience: Very professional and talented!

Fantastic experience: From personal experience, it is very hard to find a good massage therapist. Trust me, there are many wonderful healing hands 'out there' but, how many truly DO something for your mind, body and soul? Right from the start, from organizing to confirming my appointment, detailing any pre-existing ailments, giving directions...Curran was right on top of it. I even get reminders, notifying me of an upcoming appointment. There are even aftercare texts... His salon is beyond cute; it is piece of peace, in a very busy world...and each time I go, I learn something new. A new way to relax, breath, be, stretch. Yes, it might sound corny but I do feel rejuvenated. My whole being has been pummelled (from choice), flattened and stretched. He gives you want you want...and what your body needs. No massage is the same. Every time is different, which is what a proper massage should be about. You treat the whole human being, who is constantly growing, changing and evolving. And, sometimes, a little bit of nurturing never goes amiss.

Fantastic experience: Curran has lots of different techniques to offer. The deep tissue and hot stone massage our my favorite. Curran is professional and can answer your massage needs.
