What our clients are saying

  • “As an Athlete for Team USA wrestling our bodies go through hell and back. Ever since I’ve been coming to Muscle Movement Therapy I have noticed a positive change in how my body feels and performs. As a high level athlete training for the world championships and Olympics it is great to have the MMT team there with me throughout this journey. I highly recommend their services.”

    Ray B.
    Team USA

  • “I am a health and fitness professional and a former pro athlete and I must say Alicia at "Movement Muscle Therapy" is fantastic if you want/need to get those deepest knots, inconsistencies, and scar tissue out of your body! Wow! She did a fantastic job at deep tissue, scraping, cupping, and other techniques with me... I'm SOLD! Thank you for helping to heal my body and put me back together”

    Nick F.
    Former MLB Centerfielder

  • “I'm a professional athlete and I started going here only 3-4 months ago and I've never had a better prep for my next competition. My mobility has improved, my aches and pains are pretty much gone and if I have one I go to her and almost immediately I feel better. I'm able to train harder bc I'm not feeling horrible. I recommend this place to anyone even if you aren't a athlete this place would be beneficial for you.”

    Jessica B.
    Professional Powerlifter

  • “Any competitive strength athlete knows the importance of maintenance on the body and MMT is top notch. Since visiting Movement Muscle Therapy, I have been able to take my training to a higher level than ever before.”

    Kelly L.

  • “I separated my shoulder last November while grappling. I was pretty discouraged about how it would affect my future in grappling. I set up 4 appointments with Hope at the Jacksonville location. To my amazement and delight, my shoulder has no crunching or tightness anymore. I have full range of motion and per a body strength scan, it is actually my strong side now! I'm so grateful for Alicia and Hope and can't say enough times how much I recommend giving these ladies a try for new or old injuries! Let them fix you up!”

    Alicia B.
    BJJ Competitor

  • “Just received a sports massage at this place from Alicia and it was a great experience, it's not just a massage, she went over any injuries and issues I may have had and tailored the massage to what I needed. Also did cupping for the first time ever, I feel great. I will definitely be coming back.”

  • “Absolutely the most amazing deep tissue/sports massage I’ve ever experienced! Alicia was wonderful. She is very welcoming & warm. I will most definitely be a regular.”

    Meghan M

  • “Alicia has a very extensive knowledge of the human body and how it should work. She helped me work through multiple injuries in my competitive powerlifting days. Now she keeps my neck and shoulders in check as my job as a hairstylist can be very physically taxing. I highly recommend Movement Muscle therapy to anyone whether you sit at a computer or workout daily!”

    Laura M.

  • “As a triathlete in constant training Movement Muscle Therapy has become an essential part of my routine. Hope does an amazing job at working out all the kinks and knots I build up in training. She is super knowledgeable about each area and how to focus on relieving the pain and tension. She also shares valuable information on how to prevent and treat troublesome areas between appointments. An appointment with Hope is a key part of my pre race prep & post race recovery.”

    Rosa A.
    Triathlete

  • “Omg... the sports massage was amazing! I feel so much better and the tension and tightness is gone.... the facility itself was nice and relaxing and the therapist, Alicia, was very knowledgeable, pleasant and relaxing.... if you have been on the fence about trying this place jump the fence and run like hell over there and get yourself worked on! Will definitely be returning!”

    Elven E.

  • “I love going to see Alicia each week. I always feel better leaving there and the difference in my performance is huge. Being able to find someone like her in Jacksonville is amazing!”

    Becky B.

  • “The best place to visit for real athletic based treatments! Affordable, clean and comfortable. Alicia is the best and most knowledgeable, strong handed sports masseuse in the game! A must visit. Do yourselves a favour and book with her today!”

    Foe H.

  • “This place is actually amazing. I workout 4-6 days a week and have a array of problems going on in my body and regular "deep tissue" massages at spa's just don't cut it but the first time I came and had a appointment here the very next day I already started feeling relief which is a feeling I haven't felt in a long time. I recommend this place to anyone who is in need of a great massage / sports therapy.”

FAQ + POLICIES

  • 1. Intake: At the beginning of your session your therapist will conduct a brief assessment & discuss with you what your goals of the session are. Session goals are different for everyone. They can range anywhere from general maintenance to pain management, injury recovery & prevention, surgery post op recovery, competition prep, ect.

    2. Massage: From there your therapist will begin your massage, incorporating modalities they feel will benefit you most to get you to your movement goals. These modalities range anywhere from deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, cupping therapy, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (with stainless-steel tools) & kinesiotaping.

  • Depending on the goal of our session we may do stretches or active movements. Instead of trying to keep you draped with sheets, it makes sessions much easier if our clients arrive in gym clothing. Shorts are appreciated for any leg work/movements we may need to perform. There is a changing area if you need to change upon arrival.

  • Our front entrance is locked throughout the day. Let us know when you arrive by shooting us a quick text so we can buzz you in!

  • Therapists at Movement Muscle Therapy have a 24 hour cancellation/rescheduling policy. If you cancel or change your appointment with less than 24 hours notice, you will be charged a fee determined by your therapist. This policy is in place out of respect for our therapists and clients. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice are difficult to fill. By giving last minute notice or no notice at all, you prevent someone else from being able to schedule into that time slot.

  • Non-cancellations or "NO-SHOWS" will be charged 100% of the original service booked.

  • Children are ONLY permitted in Movement Muscle Therapy when the child is receiving a service. For safety reasons and insurance purposes, no child under the age of 12 may accompany you while you are having a service. We do not have the facilities to care for children. We hope you understand that we cannot assure their safety in a professional environment. We also do not want to compromise the relaxation of our guests. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.
