I had been suffering with recurring knee pain off and on since high school, a persistent issue that eventually compelled me to let go of my passion for running and CrossFit. The constant apprehension of knee dislocation overshadowed even the simplest tasks, such as transitioning from sitting to standing. It was disheartening – a feeling of being trapped in a cycle of uncertainty.
My encounter with Joewel, whom I met through social media, offered a glimmer of hope in an otherwise gloomy situation. Despite my reservations, I remained cautiously optimistic. Previous attempts at finding relief, through numerous visits to physical and sports therapists, had yielded repetitive exercises that failed to produce any tangible results. Despite undergoing multiple x-rays and MRI scans of my knee, medical professionals failed to identify any root cause. My approach towards Joewel's intervention was somewhat tentative, as I wasn't expecting a significant change. Working with Joewel proved to be an entirely different experience. He demonstrated a genuine interest by posing pertinent questions and attentively listening to my responses. The exercises he tailored for me were far from the conventional mundane routines; they were customized to not only strengthen my knee but also align with the demands of CrossFit and running. This departure from the standard repetitive exercises was refreshing and instilled a glimmer of hope within me.
While the majority of our interaction transpired virtually, via video calls and exchanged videos, it was remarkable how an assessment carried out remotely could yield such profound improvements, surpassing the outcomes achieved by the numerous in-person consultations I had undergone previously.
Thanks to Joewel's guidance, I now find myself in a significantly improved physical and mental state. The fear of knee dislocation no longer haunts me, allowing me to reengage in activities I cherish without fear. I vividly recall avoiding box jumps in CrossFit since a fall in 2018. Yet, through Joewel's help, I've conquered those fears and now approach box jumps with confidence, along with accomplishments such as unassisted push-ups – skills I once considered unattainable.
I can even run though my hilly neighborhood pain free again, this demonstrates the transformative impact of Joewel's approach. He helped me refine my running technique, emphasizing cadence and breathing, aspects that have elevated my performance.
Words fall short in expressing my gratitude towards Joewel for the profound positive influence he's had on my life. If my circumstances allowed, joining CrossFit of Fremont, would be an easy yes. Whenever friends and family confide in me about their pain, which hasn't improved through standard physical therapy, I always recommend...

Read moreI am grateful to Joewel and Ikala for all the help they have given me and can't recommend them enough when it comes to physical health and mind positivity.
I had a major surgery on a severely torn ligament in my hip. After following the prescribed physical therapy as best as I could, I had gained functionality back in the joint but was still far from normal. I had chronic lingering pain in the joint punctuated by flare ups, and would barely be able to function in my day to day life without being in excruciating pain at the end of the day.
I am lucky that I was referred to Joewel and his holistic approach to physical therapy and body wellness. Over the course of months he worked with me to reduce the scar tissue in the joint, reestablish functionality in my hip and the areas connected to it. Our sessions would consist of a combination of exercises, stretches, sports massage, adjustments, and a clinical application of cupping. After a few weeks into a months long process I could feel the difference in my strength and flexibility in the joint and related areas thanks to a thorough homework regimen he established for me.
Throughout the process, he had (and has) a great interpersonal communication and a glowing positivity about him that changed my mindset about my injury and that I had an effective way to get back to normal.
Through the entire process, he was always open for questions and responded in a timely and informative manner. I am proud to say that with his help and guidance I am...
