Before I became a massage therapist I had worked in high end food service industry as a chef, a manager and a caterer. After 17 years I was tired of the grind and looking for something completely different. That summer I took a retreat to Big Sur. After receiving a massage one afternoon I took a walk amongst the towering redwoods and it hit me.
Swedish Massage is the most commonly practiced technique of massage. It includes the use of firm but gentle pressure and long, fluid strokes to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, improve circulation. Myofascial Release & Unwinding is a form of soft tissue massage therapy intended for pain relief, increasing range of motion and balancing the body.

Frequency depends on what your goal is in receiving your massage. If you are looking for relief from pain then you will want to get a massage once or twice a week. If you are looking to relieve stress and increase relaxation then you will want to get a massage every three to six weeks. I recommend listening to your body it will let you know when you need a massage.
I purchased a Living Social deal for an hour massage with Joe Linn last week. I called this morning and asked if he could possibly squeeze me in later in the day. He happily accommodated my desired time and told me everything I needed to know for our session, which was great because I have a hard time scheduling massages in advance and prefer to have them in times of high need if possible.

Joe is amazing. I have had tons of bodywork done in my life but hands down best massage was today with Joe.
I suffer from chronic migraines, TMJ and neck/shoulder pain. Went into today with awful headache, neck pain and sinus pressure. Came out floating on cloud 9, no pain at all. So professional, so warm and I loved how consent forward he was with his approach. "It's your massage, you have a say about it." I don't live in Petaluma but I'll make sure to stop by every time I come to town. Thank you!

I had a 1 1/2 hour massage with Joe. He was amazing. I have a lot of pain in my shoulder blades, neck, and arms. He released a lot of tension. I have gotten a lot of massages in the last five years, and he used a lot of techniques on me that I have not had before. He is very skilled. What I also liked about him was that he was able to massage every part of my body in the hour and a half. Many many times I have gone to a session and the therapist are not able to get to the entire body. They miss the arms or the feet. He got to everything. I really loved that. He was super professional. He was also

My massage with Joe was incredible! I went in due to lower back pain - which probably originated from sitting too much because of work. Joe targeted my whole back, and also worked on my psoas muscles. The whole treatment gave me so much relief! I also very much appreciated the sense of energy healing and mind-body connection towards the end of the massage. This has been one of the best and most effective massages I've ever had.

I couldn't rate him any higher but he deserves another star. My regular masseuse wasn't available, so I decided to try a masseur for a change, as I was suffering from what I call "computer neck, back and shoulders." Glad I found Joe -- just 2 miles down the road from me -- and he made my aches and pains a thing of the past. Easy parking (lot and street) and he's friendly, effective and professional. Now I'll be torn between my two choices. Oh well. I'll just alternate. I recommend Joe Lin very hightly.

This review is long overdue. I see Joe every 4-6 weeks for a 90 min massage since late 2014/early 2015. I would go more frequently if my wallet agreed, but this was one of the few things that I would not cut out of my budget for several reasons. Since 2012-ish, I've made it a point to get fairly regular massages, so I've been to a lot of different places between NJ, NY, SF, and now the north bay.
When I first moved to Petaluma in summer 2014, I went to pretty much every massage place/person I could find that had fairly reasonable prices between Novato and Santa Rosa, even Sebastopol

I religiously get bi-monthly massages. I was very sad that my masseuse had to retire, which meant me looking for a new one. My daughter recommended Joe Linn, but due to the fact that I only had woman masseuses, I was a bit hesitant. I decided to try him out. I now get a 90 minute massage every two weeks. Joe is a total professional, he has a calming, relaxing quality and can find my troubled spots quickly. Love him!

This is my Bay Area spot, but although I've been coming here for years, I don't come often since I live across a bridge in another county. I found this place 4-5 years ago on a Social Living or Groupon voucher (I forget now), and still haven't found any other place or trust anyone closer to home. Joe is intuitive and will find the knots and tension spots that you may not even know about. Last time I went was a couple months ago, and he found tension in my neck that I didn't know was there. And with my hay fever at the time, he gave a cranio which I was skeptical at first, but

From the moment I pulled up, I knew this was going to be a different massage experience than I have ever had, and I used to have a membership at a strip mall massage place. Do not wait until you NEED a massage, go see Joe Linn! I injured my neck moving and Joe fixed me right up. He told me this was MY massage and that's exactly what I got. He worked on my problem areas and then some and it never felt rushed; I have high expectations which were exceeded with flying colors! Go see Joe!

I found Joe through Groupon about two years ago and loved his massages so much that I now schedule a massage with him every month. He is professional, highly skilled, and has a calming presence which allows for the ultimate relaxation during his massages. I love that Joe asks each time I visit if there are any trouble spots that need extra attention and is always quick to ensure you are as comfortable as possible. His facility is clean, neat and inviting and he has a heat blanket available if you need a little extra warmth. I look forward to my massages with Joe and would definitely recommend him

I first went to Joe because he is one of the very few practitioners who is skilled at myofacial (spelling?) release therapy. I have suffered numerous severe injuries over the years and Joe is able to incorporate various techniques to relieve my problem areas. Beyond that Joe also provides just an overall wonderful experience in a safe and comfortable space. Joe will listen to you, tune in to your specific body, and deliver an exceptional body work experience.

I am so happy to have found Joe's massage practice! I have been a client of Joe's for about two years now and I always look forward to my appointment each month. Joe makes every effort to make me feel welcome and comfortable when I arrive, and responds to my needs about what is sore or tight that day. Even when I don't have a specific area for him to focus on I feel leaving relaxed and rejuvenated. Joe has numerous certifications that he keeps up to date. He is a talented masseur and a wonderful person, too! I highly recommend making an appointment with Joe -- there's

If you are looking for a great massage, look no further. Joe Linn is an outstanding massage therapist; intuitive, caring and highly skilled in his practice. My husband and I have both found Joe Linn to be the very best among the best of massage therapists. He has helped us so much. Besides that, he's just a great human being!

Joe is amazing and gave me the best massage I have ever had. I'm new to the area so I've been trying groupons to find places to go that offer good deals. I have found a lot of mediocre places and then some really bad ones. Joe's regular prices are excellent, even without the groupon and he has a chiropractor in his office, that I plan to check out.

I purchased a LivingSocial deal on a whim for Joe Linn, and it was a highly positive experience from start to finish. He was extremely accommodating with scheduling and even a last minute cancellation. As for the massage itself, he was very skillful in utilizing deep pressure to relieve the intense stress in my shoulders and upper back, and I continue to feel the benefits 3 weeks after the massage. In essence, I would highly recommend Joe for men or women alike, and I would gladly return to him when I have a chance to make the long but worthwhile drive from the East Bay to Petaluma.

I purchased a living social deal and went to see Joe Linn for the first time on Saturday. I had an exceptionally wonderful massage. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and communicative. He made me feel comfortable right from the beginning and he checked in with me often throughout the massage. After the massage, he gave me some good tips for my trouble spots. I will definitely be going back to Joe Linn. If you are looking for a talented massage therapist in Petaluma, I definitely recommend him.

I am a triathalete, and have been needing a full body massage for a while. Joe is a very talented massage therapist who is communicative, intuitive, and got out knots I didn't realize I even had. I really like deep tissue, and Joe knows what he's doing and has many techniques, but also encourages you to communicate (if you'd like deeper or lighter) since no one reads minds. This put me at ease since I can sometimes be shy to direct my massage therapist.
I heard about him at Petaluma Community Acupuncture, and had a lovely experience. Comfortable room in a chiropractic office

I can not say enough good things about Joe. He is extremely talented. I first saw him for prenatal work. It was such a relief. Finally someone who was not afraid to touch a pregnant woman. He is really in tune with the right kind of pressure as well as giving you the right kind of mental relaxation as well. I think his type of massage would work well for various types of people- deep pressure or not. I now see him for non-prenatal massage and he is a god send!
