Client Success Story: Billy Polson
DIAKADI Fitness Founder
Billy Polson, a fitness performance coach and founder of DIAKADI Fitness in San Francisco, had undergone multiple knee surgeries and was suffering from severe sciatic nerve pain and daily joint discomfort. Despite ongoing work with a physical therapist, the nerve pain persisted, affecting his ability to move freely and enjoy daily activities.
Billy’s biggest concern was that he might never return to activities he loved, like hiking and snowboarding, because of chronic pain and limited mobility.
Over the course of nearly 10 years, Joel worked with Billy through different injuries and pain conditions. Using advanced manual therapy techniques, Joel focused on “unwinding” nerve channels, reducing muscular tension, and restoring functional movement. Beyond his own treatments, Joel also collaborated with Billy by working with clients Billy referred, extending his expertise to help others in the fitness community.

“My work with Joel Banuelos has upgraded my life for nearly 10 years.
His diligent work has eliminated my daily pain, reignited my optimism, and helped me return to pain-free movement. Joel is far more than your typical bodyworker—his combination of skill, focus, and compassion makes him exceptional.”
— Billy Polson, Owner/Founder DIAKADI Fitness, San Francisco
Client Success Story: Michelle
DIAKADI Fitness Founder
Michelle was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident that left her with broken bones in her back and rib cage. She faced not only the immediate pain from the injuries but also long-term challenges in mobility and overall function.
Post-surgery, Michelle experienced persistent pain both at the trauma sites and in surrounding areas. Daily activities were difficult, and her body needed careful, progressive support to recover.
Having worked with Michelle before her accident, Joel was able to build on their established foundation of trust and care. After her surgeries, he applied a personalized combination of manual therapy techniques to manage pain, gently restore movement, and address secondary issues that arose during recovery. Sessions became more frequent and consistent in the months following the accident, providing steady progress.
Over time, Michelle experienced significant reductions in pain and improvements in mobility. With Joel’s support, she was able to navigate the long-term challenges of recovery, regain confidence in her body, and maintain her quality of life through semi-regular treatments over the years.
"Joel’s consistent care made such a difference in my recovery. He helped me move again, eased my pain, and gave me hope through such a difficult time."
Joel’s knowledge of the body is outstanding. Truly above and beyond any massage therapist I’ve met.
