I am so lucky I met James at a surf shop! James is the most humble sports massage therapist you’ll ever meet. Not only did he pinpoint exactly where my sprained ankle pains were along the muscles up and down my leg, (as a sprinterthis was huge for me!) but he assured me I would heal in 2-3 weeks with ample rest and showed me resistance band exercises. My ankle felt better immediately after and he also helped correct my stuck shoulder too. His studio is excellently maintained and I felt comfortable and at ease from the moment I stepped in.

*I almost do not want to share with anyone…. BUT, I HAD THE GREATEST SPORTS MASSAGE I HAVE EVER HAD HERE! NOTHING on Mainland compares to “Jammin Hands James.” I sort of made that up just now bcuz of his Professional and Theraputic techniques to heal the body. He is so knowledgeable of what was going on with every knot I had & I am coming from a busy life of teaching Group Fitness classes & I thought I knew everything about stretching. BOOK MASSAGE HERE TODAY & BE A NEW PERSON TOMORROW! TRUE ALOHA from entering to exiting this peaceful, simple, professional establishment. MAHALO FOR BRINGING ME BACK TO LIFE!

James is an absolute pro! After a long trail run that left me pretty sore and with some specific injuries, I found Kahala Sports Massage in a quick Google search. I found his prices reasonable and the reviews positive. It was a total win! I left that massage immediately feeling better and my condition has only improved throughout the day. James is friendly, personable, and incredibly intuitive. I absolutely recommend him! Mahalo!
