Have had a great experience working with Karol so far. I signed up for a membership and have been going about every two weeks. My previous experiences with sports massage were limited to deep tissue massages and were pretty much the same routine every visit. Karol takes a much more personalized approach, taking time to assess muscles tightness and range of motion, and applies different techniques depending on what needs to be done - deep tissue, trigger points/active release, scraping, cupping, etc. And the cost is always the same. Additionally he always has suggestions for stretches and exercises I can do at home to improve mobility and recovery.Im a very active cyclist and Karol has worked all the sore areas that come with it - quads, IT bands, neck, back, etc. Its always a good hurt but I also find myself relaxing and getting sleepy on the table.

Its been fantastic working with Karol. Ive noticed a significant difference in my back, shoulders and legs in the first 4 sessions. He is very knowledgable, responsive, and professional. Similar to other clients, I signed up for a membership and have been going about every two weeks. If you are looking for a targeted, effective sports massage, I highly recommend!

Was explained everything so perfectly! Helped me understand why I have tightness and knots in areas, he also showed me different stretches I could do at home that would help those areas. I’ve had some massages before elsewhere but it was always rushed and they never seemed to actually care to help you. He actually cares to help you with your pain and to make long term goals so I don’t have to suffer. Tbh I’m feeling like a million bucks and this was my first appointment! I already feel my shoulders not as tense as they usually are. He offers great membership deals that I will be signing up for. I will be coming back for sure! Thank you karol!

Had my first visit yesterday (12/10/19). I’ve been getting more into strength training within the past year or so and my time with Karol was exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for a massage that would help my back, shoulders and neck. Karol was very informational about why I might be experiencing tightness in certain parts of my back, neck and shoulders and worked on targeting those spots. This wasn’t a typical Swedish massage but was relaxing and much needed. There were also some times where we focused on some of my tender spots but worked our way through these. I’m a little sore today, but Karol informed me I might feel a little sore after some of the cupping techniques used. As I continue my active lifestyle ventures I definitely plan to get occasional massages from Valley Sports Massage. An hour long session is definitely enough time for a session.

Being an athlete, I try to take my physical health seriously and i had been looking for a sport masseuse that could help me keep loose as I compete and train. Then when I met Karol I could instantly tell he knew what he was doing and talking about. I ended up going and seeing him for an hour session and he was the best! He explained everything that was going on that was causing me to be tight and sore, as well as showing exercises that could help keep loose. I recommend for anyone who is into sports or competing seriously as an athlete or anyone who just wants a great service!

I just moved here and was looking for a Massage Therapist. I needed one that was knowledgeable & experienced. I needed one that would LISTEN to me. I have a complicated back and a massage can be the wrong move if done incorrectly. So I found Karol! He’s just that.... knowledgeable. He listened to every word I said & developed a plan. He’s amazing at what he does. As well as flexible with scheduling. Thank you Karol!Tonya M

I had a great experience at Valley Sport Massage. I was impressed by their level of knowledge and ability to explain things in a way that makes sense. My injury was tricky and required multiple sessions but i could feel a lot of improvement in just the first visit. They exceeded my expectations. Great treatment.

I have been to over dozens of sports massage therapists and Karol was genuinely the best masseur Ive yet to experience. He was professional, friendly, insanely knowledgeable, made me feel comfortable right off the bat, and hit all the spots on my back/shoulders/traps that needed serious work. I truly could not recommend anyone better - THANK YOU KAROL for absolutely everything.

This was my first sports massage instead of a traditional massage which I have done many times. I cant say enough about what a difference there was and how much I learned. I workout 3-4 days a week and am a runner so I looked into this to try. I was not disappointed. Karol is great and took the time to explain everything. I would highly recommend him and his services. Thanks and Ill be booking with you again soon.

I had a great experience with my sports massage. It was exactly what I needed for my sore and tight muscles. Karol was so nice and welcoming. He took the time to figure out what needed to be worked on and made sure all of my problems were fixed before I left. I was completely comfortable and felt amazing after I left.

Sports massage is different than other massages I’ve had. Karol is awesome, he really detects where your problem areas are and works through them. I bought a package for Valley Sport massage, definitely making a difference. Highly recommend!

Karol is exceptional. Very thorough and knowledgeable. He gets to the root of the problem not just massage to relax you, but actually release the trigger and get you on the right path to feeling better. I highly recommend him.

Karol did an awesome job using great techniques to release my tension in my neck from a car accident! I never had scraping done after a massage but that just added an awesome touch to help release my muscles more! I highly recommend him!

I went to VSM and had an absolutely positive experience. Karol was the consummate professional and he exhibited detailed knowledge of the human body and a genuine concern for making corrections to targeted areas. I highly recommend it!

Karol is great!! Last week he worked on one of my shoulders. It was tight and I had limited motion. After a couple of days I notice my shoulder wasn’t tight and my range of motion was better. Today he worked on my hips and the discomfort in my hips is less/gone! Really recommend Karol.

Karol (Male) Was very professional and interviewed me to get an idea about how to work on my back. He is definitely leagues better than other massage places that just do surface level pressure. I am definitely coming back.

Went to see Karol after my husband shared good things. Have seen chiropractors and massage therapists for years as I’ve had low back pain for a while due to sitting for work. Karol worked several muscle groups in the hips and flutes as well as in my lower and upper back. I walked out of there with less pain than I’ve had in weeks...HIGHLY recommend!

I’ve gotten several massages in the past, but this introductory massage did me wonders! I’ve been body building for a little while now and getting an athletic, pin point, trigger point massage is what my body needed :) Great work!

Awesome!! If you are experiencing pain and discomfort, I recommend Karol at Valley Sport Massage.

I highly recommend that you book with him.

As an acupuncturist I can inform you that Karol is extremely focused on helping you to heal. He is very educated about muscle anatomy and how they function or malfunction. He targets muscles that cause us pain and he spends time getting them to release and function properly, and relieve pain. I felt incredibly well cared for by Karol and if I lived in the area, I would continue care with him 100% on my healing journey!Jeff Luster, LAc, MAcOM

It was lunchtime on a Saturday afternoon during Veterans Day weekend. I was leaving the ASU football game and Id had enough! My right leg was killing me! It hurt to walk, it hurt to sit. My Achilles that has been injured for weeks is swollen and irritated. I desperately needed a massage. I quickly searched through Groupon for a deal on a deep tissue massage. I called a few: No answer, closed, or booked. Super annoyed. While searching one website I stumbled upon Sports Massage. I had no idea there was a sports specific massage.A little background: I have been training for 4 months for the Vegas RocknRoll Marathon and all this right leg pain is due to (as my physical therapist says) too much, too soon marathon training.So now, Super intrigued because that is exactly what I need I do a quick sport massage Groupon search and find Valley Sport Massage. Good deal AND close to home! :) but are they open? I call. A fella answers and I tell him I would love a massage today. He states he is at an event, I get sad, but then he says I can book you for tonight but it will be late, around 9pm or so. I can call/text you when Im finished here. Yes!! and so I wait. He texts a few hours later and Im in, Hallelujah! Those praises didnt last long tho. The massage was painful! YeT so necessary and I am so grateful today for it. Today, the second day after just one session with him my Achilles feels normal and I can sit comfortably, Zero pain! I am so very Grateful for the pain relief and revived hope. Iam so glad that I found Karol. He is awesome! So awesome that Ive already told 2 of my marathon teammates that they must see him before the race next week. Needless to say, I am a huge fan and have committed to be a long time customer.
