Attendee writes about Mentoring with Joel Crandall
“A week ago Joel helped me work on a client who is a mess: years of martial arts injuries compounded with new injuries. I have only worked on him a couple times before and he was always super tense all over especially the neck area. Joel talked me through a bunch of corrections.
The client walked away feeling amused and baffled but definitely felt improvement.
Today, almost a week later, he came in for his regular massage. He reported improvements each day since VOILA with Joel, in particular a significant release in that pesky neck area a few days after.
As I massaged him, I couldn’t get over how much softer and smoother his muscles were. The areas that needed work responded almost immediately to any and all work!! As I finish the session by working on his neck, any remaining knots, restrictions, discomfort just melted away. He just keeps telling me he can’t get over how long and loose the neck feels now. We are both amazed!!
Mind you, he went rock climbing and walked a whole day since the VOILA session! Even with all that he still walked in today loads better than before. As Joel says, it’s not in the muscles!
And a side note: this client was so much more open today emotionally. His demeanor was softer and he shared some personal difficulties without any prompting from me (i don’t normally ask personal questions!).
I think VOILA not only unlocked some old physical issues, it also helped him with some emotional baggages that were manifesting on his physical body.
Love this work! Thank you, Joel!”
