Who are you?
My name is Darnell Jones, LMT. I have returned to Northern Virginia after working in South Carolina with Basics Track Club and the University of South Carolina’s Women’s Soccer and Volleyball teams.

Why did you become a massage therapist?
I was searching for a career change and found myself surrounded by massage therapists—my mother, friends, even random strangers. It felt like I’d found my tribe, so I decided to pursue this path, and here I am!

What modalities do you specialize in?
I specialize in Deep Tissue, Therapeutic, Relaxation, Assisted Stretch, and Sports Massage.

List any dysfunctions and acute/chronic conditions you have treated or particularly specialize in:
I have experience treating a variety of conditions, including headaches, anxiety, fibromyalgia, sciatica, carpal tunnel, thoracic outlet syndrome, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, and jumper’s knee.

Why is massage important to you?
I believe that massage is medicine. Many people go through life experiencing regular pain, and massage can offer relief without the side effects of pain medications.

How would you describe your style of massage?
I focus on using "appropriate pressure" and addressing both agonist and antagonist muscles to relieve pain and discomfort. I prefer sessions of 90 to 120 minutes, as this allows me to incorporate multiple modalities and provide thorough treatment.

What keeps you motivated?
I am driven by results. I enjoy seeing the physical progress of my clients, including improvements in gait, posture, and general mood.
