Client Testimonials

Jonathan does a fantastic job. He is the best massage therapist I have ever worked with, and I walked out with immediate improvement after months of consistent pain.

Christopher S.

I’ve been to several massage therapists over the years, and Jonathan is by far the best one. His sports massages are unparalleled. He really targets what hurts and works on it until the tension is gone. I especially appreciate how he incorporates cupping and stretching into my sessions as well. I see him monthly and always leave feeling great. Highly recommend! Bonus: it’s really easy to book online with him.

Savannah T.

Jonathan has a tremendous understanding of the body and he is very skilled at integrating this into his massage treatments. I really appreciate how he works to improve my range of motion while massaging out the soft tissue. He also has great tips for how to take better care of yourself at home with stretching, massage tools, etc. His space is very comfortable, clean and welcoming. I highly recommend his work. Your only regret will be that you didn't book a longer massage!

Kate B.

Jonathan is outstanding! Not only is he a master at body dynamics and movement, but he's able to work & decipher areas that are secondary to main source of discomfort. As a child with scoliosis & having 2 spinal fusions, he's by far the one who has me on the right path to living pain free & enjoying yoga/running.

Wendy S.

After a life of elite level athletics, active lifestyle and a really bad leg fracture last year I’m in need of regular soft tissue work. You could say “I’ve been around the block a few times”. I just finished my first session with Jonathan and his skills and bedside manner are fantastic! He did a combination of myofascial, deep tissue, scraping tools (Graston I believe), and cupping. My legs feel amazing and the work was very relaxing even though he was working the tissue thoroughly.

I highly recommend Align Sports Massage Lafayette as Jonathan is the best massage therapist in Lafayette and probably the best massage therapist in Boulder County and North Denver as well!

Norris G.

Jonathan is hands down is the best massage therapist I have worked with for the past 15 years since I started marathoning. As a serious distance runner, I have struggled with muscle imbalances and rotating injuries over the years that have prevented me from training as intensely as I wanted to in order to reach my goals. Jonathan was able to get to the root of imbalances that I have had for years and was able to address what needed to be worked on to get me healthy and running pain free. Jonathan's history as a competitive athlete helps him to be able to relate to the often high demands of a training schedule and not only helped my body recover to continue training hard but helped me to recognize and work on patterns that were contributing my cycles of injury. I walked into his office frustrated with the persistent pain that would pop up after every hard training session and disappointment of never finding answers and after working with him for a handful of sessions I was able to run my strongest marathon to date in Chicago this year. I highly recommend Jonathan for anyone who wants to get the most out of their body while staying healthy.

Kristy A.

Jonathan has been a gift throughout my healing process and my return to pain-free running and play. I've worked with multiple body workers, TCM practitioners, and massage therapists over the years and across the country -- Jonathan has been by far the most effective. His background in athletic and professional performance combines with compassionate intuition and skilled hands to deliver results that cause me to hop a plane to visit him in the Front Range! I highly recommend Jonathan.

LINDA t.

Jonathan is easily the best massage therapist I have ever worked with. His assessment skills of the body is unmatched by any other massage therapist I have known. His manual skills are superb and targeted based on your specific needs. Additionally, his knowledge of sport and training further adds to his care of you and your needs. If you have an injury, need help recovering from training or an event, utilize massage to achieve your best self, or simply need a massage to unwind and feel better, go see Jonathan.

Craig D.

I have been working with Jonathan for the past two years and highly recommend him to all athletes. As a professional marathon runner who is constantly putting in big miles, I know I can rely on Jonathan to help me get to the starting line fresh, healthy, and ready to go. An athlete himself, he understands the importance of recovery through massage and has been an invaluable resource to me since moving to Boulder.

Lindsey F.

Throughout my running journey I've seen many different massage therapists and I can easily say that Jonathan is one of the best! He has a unique understanding of athletes needs that only comes thru his own experiences as an elite level collegiate runner and professional cyclist. I have leaned on Jonathan for regular maintenance, injury prevention, body imbalance exercises and injury relief. Most recently Jonathan helped me with a lower back injury that was keeping me from my daily running routine.

Scott N.

Jonathan is a wonderful sports massage therapist. His long athletic background gives him great insight into the issues that cyclists, runners and other athletes deal with. I would highly recommend a visit to Jonathan.

MEREDITH M.

As a professional athlete I’ve had the pleasure of working with many different massage therapists and Jonathan is one of the best, I highly recommend seeing him! He is extremely knowledgeable and played a key role in my recovery and getting back to running post injury.

KATIE M.

I have been to countless massage therapists across the country for chronic neck and shoulder issues and Jonathan is without a doubt the best massage therapist I have ever come across. As a physician myself, I greatly appreciate Jonathan's extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology which helps him localize and target the problem to get at the root of the issue. I always know that when I walk into a session, I will walk out feeling healed and accomplished
I recommend him to all of my patients, coworkers, friends, family, and whoever else I may come across in need of his incredible talent!

Kate G.

Good massage comes with a keen sense of the human body-- it's surprising potential and the limits of it's capabilities. Jonathan has a long history as a successful endurance athlete and this experience along with his gift of touch, is immediately apparent during his massage. Sometimes you get done with bouts of training or long blocks of training and you have tightness and pain that you just can't seem to get rid of. Jonathan makes you aware of these issues, where they come from and then he helps you fix them. You come away more relaxed, more flexible and more powerful. Personally I've had lots of massage work done and the bottom line is that Jonathan's is the best.

JASON D.

Jonathan is super knowledgeable and thorough. He hunts for causes more than just treat symptoms. Jonathan is not afraid to get deep into muscles to break up knots and scar tissue when needed. He also gives recommendations for exercises, stretching, and rolling routines to prevent reoccurring injuries.

Lee R.

Booking with Jonathan is the first thing I do when I get home from a challenging work trip or an incredible cycling tour - there's no one else in the world who can "undo" the crazy things I put my body through like he can, and no one I trust more to do the work. Thanks Jonathan!

LENTINE A.

As a massage therapist myself, I can attest how great Jonathan's massage treatments are. Highly recommend him if you are looking for a great massage therapist!

Myriam D.

I had a foot injury that I was treating with physical therapy and dry needling. Recovery was slow, with many ups and downs, trying to retrain some very reluctant muscles. A friend suggested that I go to Jonathan for massage. He immediately understood the anatomy and physiology involved, worked with my physical therapist to target important muscle groups and my progress immediately began to improve. The massages greatly improve my entire outlook on recovery and my ability to pursue the sports I love. I highly recommend Jonathan for massage whether to simply keep in good form or to help in recovery from an injury

MARTHA T.

Jonathan is the man. Being a runner and loving to workout I would not be able to continue to do what I do at my age without him. He is very knowledgeable about the body and how it works. I have referred all my clients to him and everyone that has seen him has been consistently seeing him on a regular basis now. He is a Magic Man and I don't know what we (my family and I) would do without him! Highly recommend!

THERESA S.

Excellent practitioner. Jonathon's deep tissue therapeutic massages have really helped me heal from some injuries.

Kim G.

Jonathan is very experienced and will tailor a massage to meet your specific needs. Jonathan is very personable and customer-focused. His quality of massage would have you think you’re at a 5 star spa. It’s easy to book online, and the location is convenient as well.

Jenny J.

Jonathan's work is awesome! He is perfect for anyone looking for a massage that will truly provide long term benefit. Jonathan understands the needs and bodies of athletes and has helped me tremendously in treating and preventing injuries.

ALI K.

Jonathan was recommended to me by my daughter when I was dealing with sciatica issues and degenerative disks in my back. He was able to,relieve my pain and the numbness in my leg. I would highly recommend him to anyone having back issues.

ROBERT S.

Definitely the best Massage Therapist in town. Knowledgeable, relatable,and reliable. Jonathan has helped my body endure the intense training of running collegiately and continues to help preserve my body! I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He has been such a blessing for my family and myself.

RACHEL R.

Being a massage therapist myself for over 15 years, I’m quite particular about the massage work I receive. Jonathan has been my therapist for over 3 years now and I couldn’t be happier. His knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology is excellent. I’d recommend his talent to anyone.

SHANNON M.

I had numerous “mystery” aches and pains that were plaguing my body as I tried to maintain a heavy training schedule in my last semester of college. Adding to this was the fact that I had been selected to represent my native New Zealand at the World University Cross Country championships. In an effort to get myself right I sought the help of the best health care professionals in the State, yet week after week it was the work with Jonathan that was making the difference. Jonathan took the time to understand my body and figure out what worked and what didn’t, providing genuine consideration and interest – something that is often lacking in the sports med world. Without him, I would not have made it to the start line in Poland. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone who is looking to keep their body healthy while trying to get the most out of it.

DANIEL W.

I have been getting sports massage from Jonathan for around 6 months now and my experience has been fantastic. I have definitely felt the physical benefits of massage in my running and recovery. And Jonathan, having been a professional athlete himself, understands the daily beating my body takes through intense training. He is professional and knowledgeable. Jonathan just rocks, and I couldn't do what I'm doing, or get where I want to go without him!

ELLIE K.

Jonathan has helped me with several neck, back and leg issues associated with my cycling. With his extensive cycling and running experience he was able to pinpoint and resolve these muscle issues in short order. I am now a regular on his table

SCOTT H.

Jonathan is a very gifted massage therapist. He is very intuitive and has a great sense of kinesiology. That combined with his own personal fitness bring what is needed to the table! I have been a massage therapist for 24 years and he is only one of the few people that I will trade with. I highly recommend his service!

TISH M.

Great sports massage, Jonathan has the background and knowledge to fix your problems. Highly recommended

ZACK A.

Massages by Jonathan are well worth your time and money. I like deep tissue massages, trigger point focus, and upper body neck/shoulder release. Jonathan is excellent at this. Compared to other massage places, Jonathan's price and skill level are better. I have a history of tension and migraine headaches, and by getting massages by Jonathan regularly, my headaches are nearly gone. Highly recommended.

DR. ANGELA M.

Jonathan is an excellent massage therapist. His massages helped me recover from a running injury. He has so much knowledge of the body and how to release tension. He is one of the best massage therapists I have ever worked with. I would highly recommend him.

Marcia J.

As a former NCAA cross country and track athlete I have had the opportunity of working with many different massage therapists. However, Jonathan is the best that I have worked with! I have recently been suffering from sciatic nerve problems and with his help I have been able to get healthy in a matter of weeks!
He is extremely knowledgeable with the human body. When he is working with me he takes the time to explain why the problem is occurring and exactly what it is originating from. Not only does he massage it out but he takes the time to give me tips on how to work it out at home whether it is stretches or strengthening exercises. Jonathan is the best and I highly recommend him to anyone!

Daniel B.

Jonathan's a must for any athlete or PT/rehab massage. Actually anyone in general looking for a massage too. I've recommended him a lot and people that have seen him keep going back. Jonathan helps teach you about your body and explains what's working and what's not. He's a former professional world tour cyclist, and has worked on cyclists and athletes honing in his craft!

Brett R.

Jonathan is amazing. He is an essential part of recovery for all athletes! He is nice and he knows what he's doing.

Nikki L.

Jonathan is an excellent massage therapist. I don’t just feel better for a day, I feel better for weeks!

Adrian M.

Jonathan did a great job understanding what I was struggling with and did an even better job making my back feel so much better. Booking another session for sure!

Peter L.

Great experience, and grateful for Jonathan's ability to tune in with specificity. He genuinely honored my requests and was able to focus on the part of my spine that needed most attention. I felt like I received custom therapy, rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment. Thank you, I'll be back!

Elizabeth P.

Jonathan is experienced, professional, and immediately knew the what was out of alignment for me. My injuries instantly felt better. I will definitely be coming back to see him.

Kim F.

Jonathan Garcia is especially good at giving sports massage. He understands the needs of the athlete due to his background in endurance sports and is able to go deep into the muscles. Jonathan also offers individual coaching and weight training. This is the man you want in your corner if you're serious about getting to the level of competition.
