PowaZ Performance Therapy - St Johns, Florida

Jake Arens

I've been struggling with knee pain for a few months after a long hike. I've never had any issues like this before.

I wanted to see an expert who could help me fix the issue and Yao is certainly an expert.

I could immediately tell the difference in my movement after the various treatments, and if you're curious about the process Yao is happy to share. I find for me it really helps me understand how all the different treatments are working together to benefit me.

I'm very excited to not only heal, but push my body to new heights and higher peaks

Yao is truly the best. Having a session with him makes my whole week feel better. I had very bad lower back problems, but with just a couple of sessions, he made me feel so much better. I have to stand a lot for the job I do, so I started having horrible leg swelling and pain. Just one session with him turned me upside down. It’s miraculous what he can do, really.
Also, he is so easy to talk to and such a great person. I really recommend!

I've been having some knee stability issues stopping me from sparring and fully enjoying my workouts. I tried various things for about a year, but never made any significant progress towards recovery.

Working with Yao has been a game changer. He's really helped me to understand how things work, and how I should be moving. His massage and techniques are extremely effective at loosening things up so that I can move properly without adding stress to my knees and joints.

I highly recommend Yao to anyone having any mobility issues, or just want the tools to perform at their best.

Went to Yao for a few sessions to help my shoulders and back. I was in my fight camp with a short amount of time before having to fight. If it wasn’t for Yao’s help, I wouldn’t have been able to compete. I felt significantly better after my first appointment and brand new by my 2nd appointment! Highly recommend all athletes (and non-athletes) to make an appointment with Yao for all your recovery/therapy needs!! He really is the best here in Florida!!

I’ve had shoulder and neck pain since I was in high school. I met Yao when I moved to Jacksonville. Yao’s background in athletic training and kinesiology really makes a difference when in treatment. He is able to use many different tools to help relieve my pain and muscle tension. Yao used cupping, stretches and the perfect amount of pressure to get my neck and shoulders to relax so I can go about my days pain free. I would recommend anyone with muscle tightness or pain to schedule an appointment with Yao, you’ll be happy you did!

My experience with Yao was amazing. I’m a powerlifter who works in law enforcement, I had some hamstring issues but Yao helped me get back to powerlifting. He gave me pointers as well on how to stretch and proper form while working. I look forward to more sessions that will aid in recovery.

I dealt with chronic pain in my right leg due to a sports injury for a few years. Going through a few massage therapists and chiropractors, it only seemed like a temporary fix to ease my pain. My first session with Yao was not only the relief I needed, Yao provided me with the tools and knowledge to continue preventative care. Yao displays a very high level of knowledge regarding sports therapy and articulates it very well. If you need your first step in changing your life, see Yao.

I was recommended to work with Yao when I noticed that my hip mobility had a ton of issues. I was clueless of what was going on and honestly stressed since my goal was to become a novice bodybuilder. To add to this goal my job requires a lot of functional movements.

He carefully accessed my mobility and helped me to understand why I was experiencing issues. That has helped me prevent further disruption my training.

With massages, cupping and stretching my performance was able to progress and unlock my performance in the gym. I was able to start lifting heavier while maintaining good form. I experienced far less pain and aggravation. Most importantly I started to have better recovery too.

Performance therapy is just as important as any other training session.

Whether you’re an athlete or your life is physically demanding I recommend performance therapy. You deserve to feel your best and you need Yao’s expertise to have the best PT experience!
