I’ve had severe trauma to my upper spine, neck and lower skull. The resultant chronic pain of 5 years has left me with constant headaches, soreness and difficulty moving and sleeping. In addition, a lifetime of sports, dance and yoga has left me with chronic shoulder, hip and knee pain. After an initial session with Traci, the relief and release of tension and pain has been immediate. Traci’s expertise and professionalism - both with the exercises and massage/manipulation, particularly of my head, neck and shoulders- are phenomenal. The key for me was how safe and secure I felt, and thus I was able to release in a different way than ever before. Living pain free didn’t seem like an option for years, and thanks to Optimal Wellness and Traci, pain free daily movement seems like a possibility for the first time since my twenties. I can’t thank Traci, and the method enough.-Rachel

Hands-down the best massage and mobility shop in Boulder! The sign of a great PT is giving endurance athletes the knowledge and exercises to properly rehab and get stronger without having to go back every week. I love that hes an endurance athlete too--definitely the best sports massage I have had.

10/10 more than just a feel good massage. So much knowledge and expertise to share. Jacob educated me on what he noticed and how I can continue to improve between massages.Highly recommend. Will be going back.

Seriously one of the best massages I’ve ever received. I saw Traci after a long week of hiking with some rafting thrown in for good measure. My right shoulder has been bothering me as well. She addressed all my problem issues while leaving me relaxed. Will absolutely be back next time I’m in Boulder. Please let me know if you ever move to Austin!!

Would give 10 stars if I could! Jake and his team are incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Im an extremely active athlete and have had a lot of body work done over the years, and I can honestly say that my work with Traci and Jake is the best I have ever received. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is training hard, dealing with injuries, or just looking to open up their body more.

Jacob is terrific! I am an athlete and a new mom. My back, shoulder and neck are constantly sore. I get massages on a regular basis from Jacob to relieve the pain and relax, and always leave feeling stellar!

I never thought one visit to Jacob for a massage and cbd cupping session could make such a difference in how I feel. A severe pinched nerve and upper back pain caused me trouble for 6 days; Jacob worked out the problem and even showed me some exercises to do in the future before playing tennis, etc. I would see him atleast once a month if I lived here and was not just visiting! Thank you !!

10/10My 1 hour mobility session with Traci was amazing and super informative! Traci is an extremely personable and a wealth of knowledge in terms exercises and movements, technique, and human anatomy. I recommend Optimal Wellness to everyone I know because of the diverse services offered and the effectiveness of their treatments. Get ready to get out of your comfort zone in a class like this because it will be a bit of a challenge but it will definitely be worth it!

I came in with a back that felt like week old road kill with rigor mortis. After an hour with Traci, it felt like a buttery filet mignon.

Great service! Will definitely be back.

Jake is a great practitioner. Ive gotten a few massages from him and will keep coming back. He evidently knows the body well & has always given me great homework for the specific issues Ive had. Highly recommend!

I cant speak highly enough of Jacob and his work. His approach is beyond massage but rather a system of teachibg clients to increase strength and mobility in the long run, while reducing pain and stiffness for which I am grateful!

Traci really knows her stuff! I highly recommend both her Kinstretch classes and her massage services. If you’ve never tried Kinstretch before, you’ll be surprised at the ways you can challenge your body with slow, deliberate movements and little to no equipment. It’s made me more aware of my posture and movements, and it’s improved my performance in all my physical pursuits—from yoga to hiking to kickboxing. Traci also incorporates elements of her Kinstretch training into massages, which makes them even more effective at widening your range of motion and dealing with muscle tightness.

I have a shoulder injury (right clavicle has a plate with screws) and as a result I carry a lot of strain along my right side. Jacob is amazing at working out all the kinks that build up from this old injury as well as providing helpful tips for how I can stretch at home to help keep me in tip top shape. Hes got a very calm and peaceful presence when providing massages, so I cant help but feel comfortable when Im on the table. I always feel so invigorated after his massages, I highly recommend him!

Getting massages and doing mobility training with Traci has truly upgraded my health and quality of life. She has given me the tools to bring more awareness to my body, helping me recover from old injuries (drastically reducing my headache and shoulder pain) and giving me the knowledge to prevent further injury and to live a pain free life. Also, when I do have extra muscle tension or headaches creep in, I book her for massage and she quickly resolves the issue. Do yourself a favor and go see her! Shes amazing!

Getting body work and mobility training with Traci Bennett has significantly helped put not only with shoulder pain but also my range of motion. She is extremely educated and has made a huge difference on my training and overall well being. I highly recommend booking a session with her to see how she can do the same for you.

I recently had my first massage at Optimal Function and Wellness from Jake Corley and it was honestly one of the best massages Ive ever had. The quality and focus that Jake provides is outstanding and worth every penny. Cant wait to book my next appointment, will definitely be back!

Seriously Jake has the best hands in Boulder, Colorado. He knows exactly what youre body is feeling before even mentioning anything to him. 10/10 would recommend making an appointment and changing your life!

Jake is a miracle worker! I have been experiencing back pain during quarantine and didnt feel comfortable going to get body work done. His studio protocol for covid was incredible and made me feel safe when booking an appointment. After one session with him I feel brand new. I havent felt the pain as strongly and he even gave me some drills to practice at home to keep my spine mobile.

Best massages I’ve ever had. Jake listens to what’s bothering me and understands how to best address my aches and pains. I go monthly and I’ve noticed an incredible difference in what it’s been doing for my body and well-being!

I try to stay fairly active (climbing, CrossFit, cycling, running, backpacking, kids), and Jake has been phenomenal at keeping me healthy. He has an extremely deep understanding of injury prevention, strength, and mobility, so I highly recommend him for anyone who wants to stay active and feeling great!

Very knowledgeable about the human body and movement. Great massage, my favorite is Thai massage!!

Jake is terrific! Highly professional and very effective at helping to get rid of some serious muscle kinks and strains.

I have been getting regular deep tissue / sport massages from Jacob, and he is simply wonderful! He is super professional, very well-educated on injuries / general tightness (with great advice to offer) and his massages are perfect.

Jake is professional, kind, bright and a wonderful massage therapist. I would recommend him and his team to anyone looking for a deeply transformative experience.

I had a Thai massage with Jes this week and what a magical experience it was! She incorporated a perfect balance between compression and stretching. Not only did she provide an excellent massage, but also created a warm and inviting space for me to relax and let go, tailored to my needs. I walked out of my session feeling so rejuvenated, like a new human. Highly recommend booking with her!

Jake Corley is one of the best massage therapists Ive ever been to. I was a massage therapist for many years and have had hundreds of massages, so I am very discerning when it comes to bodywork. Jake knows the human body so well, from the muscle groups to body mechanics to subtle pressure points. Hes friendly and knowledgeable and his confidence puts you at ease. You know youll be safe in his hands, which is very important considering the vulnerable nature of receiving a massage! He uses just the right amount of pressure, makes sure to ask you about your comfort level throughout the massage, knows when to talk and when not to. The massage cream that he uses smells amazing, his music is relaxing, and the table is warm and comfy. I am so glad that I finally found Jake. Hes the best!!

Jake is very passionate about all things having to do with health and mobility. His massage helps correct my scoliosis and the associated alignment issues. I recommend Jake to my friends and family often!

I received a 90-minute Thai massage from Jacob at his location in Isolate flotation center. Wow! Everything was amazing!! This was my first Thai massage and I love this modality. He was able to massage and stretch into areas of tension that no other practitioner has been able to reach. I left feeling amazing, I cant wait to return!

Very pleasant environment, with nice music and a comfortable room. Jake did an excellent evaluation and had good ideas for improving range and strength. Overall very worthwhile.

Mobility is more then meets the eye. If you think your not going to get a work out, your absolutely wrong. Isolating joints, while holding the rest of your body in tension, is no easy task. This class has not only improved my range of motion & flexibility, but has also helped tighten and tone the rest of my body. If your looking to increase your strength & not feel 100 years old....Jake’s class is a must!

Jess was very skilled and knowledgeable! She kindly provided pro bono taping of my shoulders after our session to help me maintain better posture and decrease tension in my shoulders in the days after massage. It’s been 3 days and my neck/shoulders still feel relieved from the hours of driving across country.

Izzy Klein is not just an excellent massage therapist in general, whats more important is that hes an intuitive one with an extremely firm grasp of anatomy and physiology knowledge. Izzy is super friendly, inquisitive, sensitive, compassionate, empathetic, and takes his time to get to know his clients and their needs to make sure hes treating them correctly. In addition, he makes you feel incredibly comfortable, well taken care of for however long youre on the table, and even follows up the day after to see how youre doing. Izzy truly cares about his clients and it shows in his technique, his dedication to his practice, and his sincere professionalism.

Optimal Function and Wellness has helped me through shoulder pain and other joint issues. Jake is a top notch professional, friendly and always helpful with any issues or when I just a great massage. I highly recommend him and his company to anyone in need of massage therapy!

Jake has helped me with everything from muscle pains that come from years of working at a desk with a keyboard, to maintaining good form while working out and running, to helping me remain injury free when lifting free weights, and after an injury Jake was still around to give mobility advice and help reducing pain.I can’t recommend his massage technique highly enough; he’s always thorough and seems to have a deep knowledge of how strain is transferred and referred throughout the soft tissue. His assistance with mobility always respects my current ranges of motion to help me improve.He has a very versatile skill set, and is always professional and respectful of where I am and where my body is when I come into a session with him.

I love going to Jake! His knowledge of athletic training and mobility movements combined with his massage super powers always sets my body to rights. He keeps an eye towards my long term mobility goals as well and offers smart recommendations for easy stretching pre- and post-workout - and they truly make a big difference. I can definitely tell when I’ve missed a session with him.

I had a fabulous massage here, I would highly recommend. Was definitely one of, if not the best massage I’ve ever had. I’ll be back!

Has helped me be a better version of myself - physically!!Im a Hygienist - and My back, shoulders and neck were starting to bother me, after 20+ yrs in the business. Jake has taught me how to strengthen and get better mobility and flexibility without hurting myself by using heavy weights or overdoing it. Plus his massages and technique are the best because he uses all that he has learned to help you in many different ways... not just spreading oil over your skin. Ive been using Jake for over 2 years and wont see anyone else, even have my mom (age 71) seeing Jake when she is in CO - and she is a massage therapist too.... says he gives the best therapy around!!

Within minutes of working with Jake it becomes obvious that the guy is an absolute wizard. I started working with him when, 3 weeks after starting CrossFit at the age of 41, it became obvious that I needed some additional support if I cared to avoid regular muscle pulls (and possible more serious injuries). And support exactly what I’ve gotten. From providing mobility exercises to structural massage, Jake has helped my body recover from stress I hadn’t placed on it for a long time - while also providing me the tools to keep my self safe in the gym. If you’re looking for someone who deeply understands physiology, emphasizes mobility and safety, and truly cares for his clients, stop searching. You found him.

Jake is simply an exceptional massage therapist. Ive been seeing him for 18 months, he fixes things when they break and prevents the vast majority from breaking in the first place. Jake is constantly seeking out new methods and striving to deepen his education in therapeutic massage. You wont find a better massage therapist in Colorado, highly recommend.

Very skillful and knowledgeable body work from Jacob, more than just a massage as the businesss well-chosen name indicates.

Jake is awesome! I had a bacterial infection in my spine. After the infection cleared, I was left with lingering pain and limitations to my mobility. I was beginning to think I was not going to be able to recover fully. Luckily for me, I found Jake. Jake has been able to help me work through the lingering issues from that illness and return to a pain free place where I feel happy and strong again! Jake really is an expert. If you need help to feel your best, see Jake!

The best body worker I have ever been to! So knowledgeable and has helped me keep my body together through many races. Not just a massage therapist, so much more!

Jake is awesome. I met Jake after I had an incident deadlifting with my back. Through weekly 90min massages, Im back lifting heavier than before. Rack pulled 505 for a triple last week. Massages are customized to my needs / areas of discomfort. I feel great after each session, and feel ready to go smash some weights. Highly recommended. Also solid taste of music.

Jake is a fantastic massage therapist. He is excellent at identifying sources of pain and imbalance and passionate about preventing those things in the first place. Highly recommend Optimal Function & Wellness!

I won’t go to anyone else. Jake understands the body and offers instant relief. I love that he’s always willing to teach; mobility, form, recovery. He’s my go to!

Jake is my go to therapist for referrals for bodywork. As a sports medicine acupuncturist I need a referral source that is reliable, dependable, and gets quick results. Jake does all of those things. Hes pleasant, professional, and extremely knowledgable. If you are looking to take your game to the next level, Jake is the perfect ally to help get you there! Book a session with him. You wont be sorry!

Jake is one of a very few practitioners out of many I have visited over the last 30+ years that I hesitate to classify simply as a massage therapist. Jakes knowledge of the human body is comprehensive. He is technically proficient and intuitively accurate. He has helped me with a couple of pretty bad injuries as well as some ongoing challenges that come from my commuting/working lifestyle. I have referred several friends to Jake and he has helped each and every one of them. In addition to his technical skills, I appreciate his communication as well. I never leave without learning what is causing the discomfort, what he did to address it, what I need to do after I leave and what will make it better longterm. I recommend Jakes services without reservation. He WILL make you feel better and he WILL help you understand what is going on with your body.

Jake is a master of the healing arts. No matter where you are on your wellness journey, Jake can meet you their and take you beyond what you thought was possible. I trust very few LMTs and on the top of that short list is Jake from functional wellness. I am excited to continue working with him and to see my over all health increase.

Amazing place, Jake taught an awesome kin stretch class!

Jake is the best. He’s extremely knowledgeable, passionate about what he does and helping his clients. He has me on the road to reclaiming my youth!

Very impressed, professional done

I am a 17 year old who does competitive crossfit and strength training. For any injury or maintenance that my body has or needs, Jake has worked with me for a few months now and has significantly helped and heal my body, along with improvements on form, posture, and everyday movement. I highly recommend OFW for anyone who wants to improve strength and health no matter what level of athletics you participate in.

The best massage I have ever received! Jake has such a positive, loving energy... Hes a true therapist.

Jake is fantastic. I had a back/psoas injury that kept me out of CrossFit for 6 months. I had tried physical therapy, chiropractic, and other massage care without success before finding Jake. Jake was the first to CORRECTLY identify the true source of my pain. Thanks to weekly massages Im back in CrossFit and finally healing. He listens carefully, asks great questions, has awesome tips, and is an excellent masseuse. I highly recommend Jake!

Jake is a knowledgeable therapist with a well rounded approach to mobility and functional movement.

Jake is a true Healer. I highly recommend him!

Jake is an amazing body worker. He is extremely knowledgeable and is always willing to give advice on how to relieve pain and discomfort.
