Community Highlights: Meet Joel Quezada of Houston Massage Therapy: Pain Relief & Recovery Specialists

Today we’d like to introduce you to Joel Quezada.

Hi Joel, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I got my start doing massage therapy as a child , walking on my parents and siblings. After high school i signed up for a massage therapists course in Houston and Graduated a year later. Since then I have worked in franchises like massage heights and massage envy, smaller businesses like yoga studios and day spas. I found my calling to pain relief during the final years of managing day spas. I then went out on my own doing outdoor events and working close with health related businesses in the Houston heights area. This led me to our current location where we have been the last 8 years. We focus on the long term effects of massage therapy and soft tissue work for pain relief.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely has not been a smooth road. With each opportunity came challenges to overcome. When I first started out on my own there was a lot of anxiety and discomfort knowing there wouldn’t be a consistent paycheck like with most jobs. I channeled this feeling into work and sent out so many different feelers to different businesses. The fear of failure pushed me to do better and helped me get out into the world to make the connections needed to improve and grow my business. Another challenge that most people don’t consider is the mental toll that dealing with difficult or inappropriate customers. Learning to stay professional has been a struggle when you get disrespected by clients. There are moments that have been smoother but mostly due to the foundation set up from the beginning.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We are the opposite of a day spa. We focus on the long term pain relief that clients can get from properly executed massage therapy and soft tissue work. We specialize in Sciatica restructuring, Frozen shoulder syndrome, TMJ release & Craniosacral techniques. We don’t charge clients fo the different type of massage but rather spend the time they book using every tool at our disposal to achieve the desired result. What we offer here at Houston Massage Therapy is a different experience into the massage therapy world and providing knowledge to clients to help themselves even when we are not around to help.

What’s next?
We are still growing our team with people who have a passion for massage therapy and pain relief. Canine massage will be a big part of our future as well as creating an educational course for up and coming massage therapists to help further their career.
