I have been going to John for massage services for about a decade. I truly believe he has saved me from surgery for my back and shoulder. He explains muscle anatomy better than any physician I’ve ever seen and makes recommendations that work. On top of all that I always leave my massage feeling like a new person. I wish I could give more than five stars!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about John at Green Leaf Wellness Center! How lucky I am to have found this place. With so many massage and wellness centers to choose from, its not always easy to know who to go to. I needed someone to help me with shoulder pain and could tell immediately that John both cared and knew what he was talking about. Whether youre looking for someone with an in-depth knowledge of human anatomy ready to help relieve your pain or simply a relaxing experience that will leave you feeling nurtured and peaceful, Green Leaf Wellness Center (and John!) are wonderful and I wholeheartedly recommend them!
Both my mom and I have been going to John for years and could not recommend him more. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which affects joints and connective tissues and is generally not know about. John is incredibly knowledgeable and his massages have helped my joint function more than anything else. His massages are truly medicine and relaxation all in one!
I have just started using the infrared sauna for muscle pain after long tennis matches or workouts. I am often challenged with feeling limited with my speed of movement if I am really sore, but I have been thrilled with how 30 minutes in the sauna several hours before a match helps me feel rejuvenated and flexible. The infared is so different than a traditional sauna where you feel you are baking in an oven. It is warm, but it reminds me of the warmth you feel laying in the sun. The sauna is so clean and spacious, with relaxing music and lighting. The online scheduling is so helpful with my fluctuating schedule. It is definitely one of the most beneficial modalities I have tried.
I go to Mark now, and he is a great massage therapist who loves what he does! The sauna is nice and relaxing and John and Mark are both very friendly and kind people.
I should have written this review a long time ago as I’ve been going to John for massages for probably 6 or 7 years now! I’ve had a lot of massages and John is BY FAR the most skilled and knowledgeable practitioner that I’ve ever been to. He stays up to date with different techniques and he is very results focused. I’ve referred many people to him and everybody who sees him agrees. I’ve heard great things about the other therapists at Green Leaf as well but I have no reason to try anybody else!
A long overdue review. I have been a client of Johns for over 5 years. He is deeply knowledgeable about the body and a myriad of skeletal muscular injuries. He has been a crucial recovery component in my chronic migraine and neck spur issues. He also deftly handles the occasional bursa, torn rotator cuff, plantar fascia issues and whatever else you happen to through his way. What is most impressive about John is his constant quest to educate himself about the newest techniques in general and what will improve the overall outcome of your next service. He is always looking for the best possible result. Today, I had the pleasure of working with his wife Lea, who is new to the practice. She too is a strong therapist with a less intense approach, but equally effective. Together, Green Leaf Wellness Center is THE Massage Therapy Center in Greensboro. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
I get a massage once a month and John listens carefully to me before beginning so that he can thoroughly address whatever challenges I am having. He constantly researches conditions and explores new techniques. I have referred quite a few people to John and they have never been disappointed! I haven’t ever considered going anywhere else!
I have been getting massage from John Padelford for over 7 years. He is THE BEST, my healer !!!! He has never wavered in his ability to fix whatever is aching. His knowledge of the muscles, joints, tendons etc. is very impressive and his kindness and professionalism are a comfort always. After 30 yrs. of Chronic Pain, I wish I would have found him much sooner! He is worth so much more than the countless doctors and therapies I have spent so much $ on that brought no real relief! I truly cant imagine my life without him!
Wonderful location, efficient check-in process and clean/safe massage space. I had Mark as my masseur who provided a holistic massage. Due to my stressful work and daily workouts, he was able to address my stress out points. Mark is definitely on the top 10% of masseurs I’ve ever had
Updated September 2020: Now that John is joined by his wife Lea to form Green Leaf Wellness Center, we are more fortunate as the benefactors of expertise, education, and incredible skill in listening and identifying areas of concern that translate to excellent clinical practice and amazing outcomes. I always leave in far better condition than when I arrive. There are also excellent protocols in place during the current public health crisis. Book today! And then rebook!------Look no further for a massage therapist when your body doesnt need a spa massage, but rather a partner for increased health and wellness. I see progress in my areas of concern after every visit!
Green Leaf is a beautiful, calming space and all of the massage therapists are amazing!! LOVE that you can easily book online. Highly recommend!
I had a session from Mark for a lingering headache. He worked wonders. I was impressed with his precision, ability to take the pressure just to the point it needed to go, and his overall manner and professionalism. 5 stars!
Mark has saved me from what used to be a chronic neck pain. I now see that regular massage is as important to my well-being as good nutrition. Thank you, Mark!
I always feel very comfortable with John and he always does an amazing job. He also is great about communicating about what he feels and how he is going to help.
Very professional! The atmosphere was very welcoming and relaxing. She gave a great Massage. Will definitely be coming back!
John is simply amazing! With his knowledge of the body, he can always work out my sore spots.
Love the building and the massage was A+ very relaxing environment.
Friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff, that provide fantastic service. Ive been seeing them for several months and I always leave feeling refreshed physically and mentally.
Good company, nice owner
Clean and well constructed process. Well suited for the needs I want and well informed about the process and measures I need to take.
John Padelford is a miracle worker
Best massage you’ll ever get!!
Amazing!
Best in town.
John is the best massage therapist I’ve found in the area. He always listens to my specific requests and focuses our sessions to help address my needs. I have consistent back pain due to my profession, as well as from nursing both of my daughters, and he has been able to significantly reduce my pain. Highly recommend!
I recently had a massage session with John at Greenleaf Wellness Center, and it was exceptional!! John’s profound knowledge of the muscular system was evident throughout the session. He accurately pinpointed areas of tension and used techniques that addressed specific muscle groups with impressive precision. His understanding of anatomy allowed him to customize the massage to meet my individual needs, making the experience both therapeutic and deeply relaxing. The atmosphere at the center was serene, contributing to a perfect environment for unwinding. I highly recommend John for anyone seeking a skilled and knowledgeable massage therapist. His expertise in the muscular system truly sets him apart.
I’ve been seeing John for massage therapy for the past 12 years, and his work has been consistently outstanding. Over the years, he’s developed a deep understanding of my needs and preferences, and his skill in addressing them is unmatched. John’s sessions are always tailored to what I need, whether its deep relaxation or targeting specific areas of tension. His professionalism and genuine care make each visit a highlight. If you’re looking for a top-notch therapist with a personal touch, John is the one.Highly recommended!
John is always professional and incredibly knowledgable! He is attentive and inquisitive. Highly recommend him on a regular basis! Facilities are always impeccably clean as well!
Very talented. And does a great job. Love going to see him
I have been coming to John and Greenleaf Wellness ever month since he opened. It is typically one of the highlights of my month. He does a great job resolving my aches and pains.
John Padelford is an incredibly knowledgeable therapist. I have gone to him for many years- for relaxing massages, but mostly for deep tissue body work. John always knows exactly what I need and always helps me feel better. I highly recommend him. In addition, Green Leaf Wellness Center is a very relaxing place to visit.
I have been going to John for 14 years. He is wonderful. Couldnt ask for a better therapist!
I did a bike ride across North Carolina in 2019 and created a strain in the knee area that literally prevented me from sleeping due to the pain. No matter if I was on my back or side I couldn’t relieve the pain. Walking was almost as painful and aggravating as well. Went to an orthopedic who suggested surgery…..certainly didn’t want that if at all possible. My daughter made me my first appointment with John. She had been to him before and suggested that if anyone could help me avoid surgery it would be John. Literally, after one hour with him, I was able to sleep that entire night. Not exactly sure what he did but loosening up the area around my knee was magical. That was 5 years ago and I still go back occasionally for a tune-up. Besides getting great sleep I avoided going under the knife altogether. What more can you ask? Highly recommend John for sure.
Green Leaf is a wonderful respite nestled in Revolution Mill. John is great and can always help with either a targeted massage or a relaxing session. The infrared sauna is also a perfect addtion to the massages.
John Paddleford is amazing. I leave feeling as if I have had a visit with a healer, not simply a massage therapist. Love the location in a repurposed industrial mill.
The best kept secret in town! Great infrared sauna, and the best massage therapists.
