"While living in Seattle, I had been through both physical therapy and massage for a chronic neck problem that was the result of a car accident. It had been helpful, but did not resolve the pain. I was thankful, after moving to Dubuque, to find a helpful doctor and physical therapist. The physical therapist recommended that I go to see Joan Knockel. I was told that Joan provided excellent medical massages. The physical therapist was impressed with Joan's knowledge of the origins and insertions of the muscle groups. She said that Joan's techniques had been very effective in relieving the pain of other clients that were treated by the both of them. I immediately felt comfortable with Joan. She has a positive and caring personalityl As soon as she began to work on my muscles, I knew that she was not only knowledgeable but skilled. Driving home after the appointment, I realized that I was totally pain free for the first time in over two years! As a nurse, I know that nerve and muscle pain can be long term and is not immediately resolved. But, in the course of therapy, I have experienced diminishing pain and increasing mobility. I have so enjoyed getting to know Joan as well as receiving the massages that I will probably continue scheduling appointments even after the neck issue is totally resolved. She provides a wonderful relaxation massage also!" . . . Cheryl S.
I am a massage therapist myself and in this profession we rely a great deal on finding other therapists who can provide us thorough therapeutic work. I am from outside of Dubuque, and I certainly don't mind the drive to Therapeutic Massage's office, because I know the high-quality service is going to last me a long time. . . HATM
"Joan is so professional, understanding, patient, knowledgeable, and fun. She is focused on wholeness, wellness, and peace. I highly recommend -Therapeutic Massage- for your health." . . . Sue Hird-Pregler
"After two knee replacements I was left with stiffness and pain when I walked more than a few minutes. After consulting with physicians in various clinics, one clinic very well known, I realized that MD’s cannot do anything for the type of stiffness/pain that I had, or maybe did not take the time required to get to the problem. After searching for treatments, including prolotherapy and chiropractors, another one of Joan’s “satisfied customers” advised me to go to Joan for massage therapy. I was impressed with her technique and her determination to correct the problems. It took a number of appointments to “break the code” but she never gave up and I experienced amazing relief. And, if all her skills and techniques are not enough, you get to know a sincerely lovely, and caring lady." . . . Mary Brady

"Neural Reset Therapy with Joan Knockel was wonderful for me! The process seemed far too easy to be successful but it made a difference in one session. Before my session, I experienced constant pain between my shoulder blades and neck. I was putting off going to a chiropractor or medical doctor because I was dreading an invasive procedure and/or drug treatment. Thankfully, I reached out to Joan and found this marvelous therapy option. For my follow-up appointment with Joan I received a full body treatment. My pain is gone and I feel like a new person. Thank you so much Joan for improving my quality of life!" Debbie
