I’ve been working with Kern for about a year and a half. I have a tight lower back due to tight muscles around my hips and sides. I’ve been dealing with that pain and tightness for 3 years before Kern and I went to different massage therapy and chiropractic care, but it didn’t fix the problem, but only temporarily removed the pain and it would return after a short while.After Kern eventually identified my problem, it took about 3 sessions to have more fluid mobility in my hip and the tightness and pain in the lower left back slowly went away.Kern is very knowledgeable and talks to you throughout the session so you know what’s exactly going on at the moment with your body. He’s been a great resource and has a wealth of information.

I am a personal trainer and the owner of Impact Fitness Oakland. I have met and worked with many different massage therapists. Kern is one of the best I have worked with.What makes Kern outstanding is that he genuinely cares about his clients and will spend time with you after the session to go over stretches, exercises to improve posture, or just techniques to reduce the risk of injuries. The bodywork services and exercises Kern teaches are effective!Kern is a professional that I always refer my own clients to. He has helped them with neck pain, low back pain, and just moving better in general. He is someone I trust and feel comfortable working with.One of the many reasons I keep going back to Kern is because he is always learning. Not only is he great with tissue work, hes also a great certified personal trainer who really knows his stuff!

I have been going to Kern before he started his own business. Even though he is now further away from where I live, I still go to him. I have tried many massage therapists and no one can match with his skills and knowledge.
