Josue F. Vasquez
I never really thought I would find something that I could be passionate about but also enjoy doing as a profession. And in the profession, I continue to meet many great people that come from all types of backgrounds and continue to create new connections. Being an LMT means a great deal because I feel that I have earned that title through effort days of studying, learning, and practicing. I really enjoy trigger point and sports massage because I feel that a great connection between these two modalities provides great healing to the body. I have learned to always stick to the basics, which for me is to try to always center myself, listen to the body, and act based on those actions.” Josue is an LMT working for a Chiropractic office.
