Joseph uses his many years of massage experience to work through the layers of muscles to get to the root of the problem. He has a peaceful kind demeanor and the work he does really helps to relieve soreness and achieve relaxation. I look forward to my next visit.

Joe's demeanor is calming, inviting, and very professional. He listens to what is being said, assesses the situation and utilizes his extensive knowledge of various massage techniques to creatively intervene on the issues that you addressed.

As an athlete, I’ve had plenty of massages, but this one stood out. Joseph really understands muscle recovery, tension points, and how to target areas that take the most strain during training. The massage was the perfect mix of deep tissue work and relaxation—my body felt looser and ready to perform again. I highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking to improve recovery and prevent injury. He is highly skilled, attentive, and really takes the time to understand what your body needs.

To say Joseph is a gifted massage therapist is an understatement. I started as a patient in early 2017 and have never been disappointed. He not only has a deep understanding of anatomy and technique but knows exactly where my body needs concentrated work. He always checks in to ask if I have anything going on that needs special attention. He applies the perfect amount of pressure, muscle manipulation, and stretching techniques to successfully address my problem areas. He has set up a very comfortable environment that relaxes me the minute I lie down on his table. His professionalism and easy-going personality also allow me to turn off the outside world and really let go of tension. Joseph’s continuous training and thirst for knowledge shows in his skills and his ability to know the best way to meet the needs of his patients. I highly recommend Guided Touch Therapies to provide a wonderful massage, whether for relaxation or to work on muscle issues.

Joseph has skillful hands in massage. He provides a great complement to the physical therapy I’ve been getting after shoulder surgery.

Joe is skilled in many different techniques which enables him to optimize a treatment plan that is best for what I need at that particular time. Joe is a caring person who is genuinely concerned with my overall well-being, which is one of the many reasons I have been a client of Joe’s for so many years. After a session with Joe, I feel relaxed, calm, refreshed and rejuvenated. Whether you are looking for a “traditional massage” or you are open to less conventional techniques to relieve your stress or pain, I highly recommend Joe Lizana because he is truly an exceptional therapist and caring human being.

Massage is an essential component of my total healthcare plan. I have worked with many therapists, but none are as uniquely gifted as Joseph Lizana. He is thoroughly professional and well trained in a variety of bodywork modalities. Moreover, he is supremely intuitive and exquisitely sensitive to the needs of his clients--body, mind, and spirit. A healing session with Joseph is truly a blessing!

Joe was amazing! He went out of his way to make the appointment schedule work for me. Once there, his whole office put me in a relaxed state. Joe knows what he’s doing, for sure. I left on such a euphoric high and didn’t come down till the next day. Can’t wait to go back.

Mr. Joseph is the real deal! He listened to my concerns regarding a recent car accident I was involved in and very effectively addressed every area we discussed. My medical massage experience was grade A. I highly recommend this establishment for any and all of your massage needs.

I had a 60 min session yesterday for planter fasciitis. When I left the pain had already gone down. Woke up this morning with no pain. Joseph did an amazing job and used different techniques to bring the pain down. As the day has progressed there is only a dull ache now. I called my friend this morning to tell her about my experience and highly recommended her to go see Joseph for her planter fasciitis. Thank you!!

I didn't think one massage could loosen my tight neck and upper back but Joe did it in one hour! He integrates knowledge from his 20 years of experience and studies with different massage experts. I've had a lot of massages but he did some techniques I have never had done before.

I feel so lucky and blessed that I found Joe at Guided Touch Therapies. He is knowledgeable, professional and makes my fibromyalgia, hair stylist body feel awesome. I go once a month and look forward to every appointment. I wasn't sure about the location being in Raleigh with parking and convenience. No problems there either easy In and out. If you are looking for a Massage Therapist I highly recommend Joe you won't be disappointed!

I am an avid golfer with spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease in both my back and neck; conditions that do not promote good golf play. I see my Chiropractor every three weeks for preventive maintenance and started to see Joe several years ago after 3 months of PT on my neck provided only marginal results. I decided that I would receive massage therapy every 2 weeks whether I needed it or not for preventive maintenance. Wow! With the regular Chiropractor visits and Joe’s help, I can lead an active, pain-free lifestyle. If I strain myself on the golf course, Joe is able to get me going again in a jiffy. I am a strong proponent of preventive therapy. Thanks Joe for keeping me active!

I have been seeing Joseph Lizana for massage therapy for nearly two years. Joe is extremely professional, personable, and talented. He has taken the time to get to know me on a personal level and his interest and dedication to my well-being is genuine. Because of his extensive repertoire of treatment techniques and training, he is able to use different forms of massage to bring relief to my areas of pain and discomfort. If one method doesn’t bring significant improvement, he suggests trying another. He takes care to adjust the level of stimulation to suit my pain tolerance at the time. Joe’s treatment area is an oasis of peace and calm, a reflection of his joyful and healing presence. I leave his office refreshed, relaxed, and feeling nourished in body and spirit. Whether you are looking for therapeutic massage to relieve pain, or just want to relax and rejuvenate, you are in for a delightful experience in Joe’s hands.

I have been going to Guided Touch Therapies for several years. Joseph Lizana is excellent at what he does. He has always taken the time to make sure that I have the best experience possible. He is very good at finding all tight muscles and making sure to work on them to get them more relaxed. He also takes the time to find different ways to help strengthen the body to alleviate stress. I am a runner, and he has done a great job of working on my hamstrings, IT band, upper & lower parts of my legs, and my feet to ensure maximum results during and after my long runs. He also takes the time to do breathing exercises with me to help me with longer runs. His focus on my arms & shoulders are very helpful too! It’s always a bonus when you find someone like Joseph that is so personal & cares for how you are feeling & how he can help you to get rid of stress & muscle aches. I highly recommend Guided Touch Therapies. The rates are very competitive, and it is well worth the experience!
