I’ve been a client of Body and Soul Remedy for more than two years, and John’s work is truly exceptional. Each session is uniquely tailored to my body’s needs at the time, incorporating techniques like stretching, deep tissue massage, hot stones, and more to target specific trigger points. His expertise has been instrumental in keeping me healthy, and on a personal level, John is a fantastic guy. I always look forward to my appointments!

John offers deep, therapeutic body work which draws from both eastern and western healing traditions. Very affirming and restorative. I’m very glad I found him.

John Caruso, LMTI was referred to John Caruso by a leading physician in Sarasota who I trust deeply, and who considers John among the very best in the area. That recommendation turned out to be spot on.My first visit was a two-hour session that went far beyond anything I’ve experienced before. It included a detailed diagnostic evaluation, targeted stretching, hands-on treatment, and clear instruction on between-session stretches, exercises, and even thoughtful recommendations for simple in-home equipment. This was not a generic massage. It was a comprehensive therapeutic assessment and treatment.I have dealt with hip osteoarthritis pain for more than five years. While diet and exercise have recently improved my mobility, my goal now is to further reduce pain and postpone a total hip replacement for as long as possible. John immediately understood that goal and tailored the session accordingly.He was professional, thorough, and genuinely engaged, listening carefully to both my capabilities and my limitations. One of the most valuable insights came when John identified that stiffness on my left side may have been exacerbating my right-hip pain and could even be a root contributor. That whole-body perspective was something no one else had meaningfully addressed before.By the end of the session, I experienced significantly improved mobility and noticeably reduced pain. John evaluated not just the problem area, but my gait, posture, movement patterns, and overall presentation, using all of it to guide the treatment plan.Without hesitation, I would recommend John Caruso. This was the most beneficial treatment I’ve received in over five years, despite working with doctors, physical therapists, massage therapists, and personal trainers. John’s ability to connect the dots across the entire body is exceptional, and his approach is both intelligent and practical.If you’re dealing with chronic pain, mobility limitations, or trying to avoid more invasive interventions, this is the level of care you hope to find.

I went to John for the first time with knee and shoulder issues. He was amazing! He spent a TON of time listening to me and then did some theraputic stretch work before my actual massage. He truly does heal the Body and the SOUL! Its far and above other massage therapists. He is one of a kind, a true healer.

I came in feeling like a frozen shell of myself post-surgery — stiff, guarded, and carrying pain in places I had almost normalized. From the moment the session began, I could tell this was not a typical massage. It was the perfect blend of Eastern and Western techniques, sports therapy, relaxation, and an intuitive mindset approach that met my body exactly where it was.I walked out feeling noticeably lighter on my feet, breathing more freely, and deeply refreshed. My shoulder — which had been dealing with pain and frozen range of motion — felt relieved, mobile, and supported in a way I hadn’t experienced before. Even more surprising, my lower back pain was almost non-existent afterward.This session marked the beginning of what I truly believe will be a beautiful therapist–client relationship. The care, knowledge, and intentionality were exceptional, and I cannot praise this work enough.I’m incredibly grateful for the referral from my friend who introduced me to John — highly recommended, and I’m thankful to be on this path of recovery with the right support.Thank you 😊 🙏♥️

I'm so thankful to have found John! I was able to get some much needed relief from chronic pain that I've been suffering from for 21 years. I'm looking forward to making more progress as I continue to see him. I appreciate that he is able to feel what is wrong in the body where others just follow the same old standards. He also has a pretty awesome playlist of calming music that made the already wonderful experience, that much better! I'm looking forward to my appointment next week!

John is so intuitive, he knows areas that need to be worked on that you don't even know yourself! I've been having sessions with him for a year, best massage therapy and experience I've ever had, and I've been looking for 20 years. He is an honest person with so much knowledge to share, has a good heart, demeanor and his character, professionalism and session room environment put you immediately at ease and comfortable. I highly recommend John for a message and/or therapy.
