Lal Chand – LMBT #2520

As owner and operator of Athletic Edge, Lal has dedicated himself to making Athletic Edge THE PREMIER provider of sports massage in the triangle area. Graduating from Medical Arts Massage School in Raleigh, NC. in 2001, his hard work and experience has given him the opportunity to work some very elite athletes – Carolina Ballet, Ironman triathletes, UNC Football team, and Ultra Runners. His intensive training of the human anatomy has not only helped him treat his clients, but also helped him recover from his own injuries.

Lal continues to expand his knowledge of the human anatomy, understanding holding patterns in the skeletal/muscular structures, and learning techniques that help prevent and speed the recovery from various injuries. He is committed to continuing to develop his skills as a therapist and to surround himself with other like-minded professionals.

Joanna Aull - LMBT #20572

Joanna is a transplant from Brooklyn. She came to Raleigh for the wide open natural spaces we have....and to have a backyard for her cats. She has been a New York licensed massage therpist since 2013, has a bachelors degree in Kinesiology, Exercise Science, and is a certified NASM personal trainer. She loves teaching people the power their body possesses. Joanna brings a "tool belt" full of modalities that fit very well with Athletic Edge - deep tissue, trigger point, and active release. Because of her own weight lifting and personal training background, she is all too familiar with how frustrating and draining it can be to lose control of your body. Joanna's thoughts on health & massage..."it is about understanding your body and adapting to your body's ever changing needs. Massage is just a tool that aids in that journey, and I'm always honored to help you get there."
