Jamie Simkins is an incredibly talented LMT and delivers just the right amount of pressure to provide long lasting relief. As a patient of over 1,000 appts related to my personal chronic neck and jaw conditions I can attest to her unique ability to reach hard to treat places. She has a background in competitive gymnastics and the pressure she can apply is shocking for someone of any size. She can outdo the pressure of any other masseuse I have worked with without injury or unnecessary pain. read more

Amazing staff! Friendly, professional, and a great team! Skilled at working with the VA. And amazing massage therapists who have helped me through my recovery post-back surgery (2nd one, too). Their knowledge and approach have kept me pain free. Something I have not felt in decades due to old injuries. Highly recommend! read more

Katie at the front desk was very unprofessional and hostile. Not welcoming for me to come back. Blamed being rude on her just receiving a massage. read more

this has to be one of the worst massages I've ever had. I have no idea how they get so many stars. I feel sorry for the young man who was the "therapist", he certainly had never attended a massage school...no technique at all, just lots of rubbing wherever, and probably very little pay. Now I get constant text messages about their "sales". well they probably need those to lure more people in. won't ever return. read more

In my opinion, if I could, I would give this place more than just five stars. Never will I ever step foot into a 'chain or franchise clinic' again, and here's the simple reason why ... when a company goes above and beyond for not only their customers but their employees as well, that's how you know you're in good hands. Now let me explain ... From day one of stepping into their clinic (which was impromptu, btw), they have been nothing but kind, and generous to me as their patient. I recently moved to Eagle River and did some driving around. I was surprised, for such a little town there sure are a bunch of massage clinic, I believe 3-4 right here within walking distance. You'll realize when you walk in that they share their door with the bank next door. Their wait area is small, however quiet, but loaded with drinks like water, tea, some 'magic drink' that you get after your massage, and snacks for there and to go. To check in you swipe your signature on the iPad at the counter, type in your code, click your name and bam! Not to mention text alerts remind you of your appointment. Once you meet your maker ... I mean masseuse, they escort you back to your room and you get down to business. You go over your trouble areas, where you would like to focus on, etc. They let you be alone in the room, obviously, to strip down to your comfort zone, and when you're ready you press a little button letting them know it's alright to enter. From there, the magic happens. I have yet to find a masseuse I don't like. Now sorry if I butcher names. Martina is so fun! Depending on my mood determines how chatty I am, but usually I'm quite talkative with her. She just makes everything so comfortable. It shows how much she loves her job - based on her level of rapport, and besides she's been with Alaska Massage Clinic for a while. Sierra is small, but super strong. First session she suggested trigger point, and I defiantly underestimated her ability to get in there and work my muscles loose. Michael seems really intimidating, big handlebar mustache and all, but he is super sweet and not as scary. To add to your massage experience you can also add oils. I want to say doTerra, but I'm not entirely sure really. But you can add these oils for comfort. I've had to twice, or maybe three times because I was so stuffed up between traveling and climate changes. And while I'm typically skeptical on those things, I think they really work! Now the dreaded part. Your massage is over. Boo. But ... you will feel amazing when it is. It feel about the longest hour or hour and a half in your life, in the best way possible. When it comes to payment, typically you're looking at around 100 bucks. And while they might be steeper than most places, their service alone makes it worth it (or if you're a lucky duck like me, and have bomb insurance, you can get your hour long massage for $30)! At the end you also get that magic drink I mentioned earlier in the review. I've been there a ton of times, and every time I miss what this drink is because I'm in such a daze once I'm done. So I couldn't tell you what exactly it is, except that there tastes great - and if you've read my past reviews, you know that's hard for me to say since 99.9 percent of the time I'm a water drinker. Usually it's here where you sometimes also get rewarded with a little token of appreciation from the clinic. Since I have been there, which is only three months, I've gotten popcorn favors, bath salts, handwritten cards, etc. This business is the sweetest, and it's no surprise that customers like me have turned loyal to them. This place is hands down one of my best kept, go-to not-so-secrets spots in Eagle River. read more

Anthony was extremely attentive to my areas of issue. I have been dealing with acute Achilles tendinitis since 2017 having tried dry needling, both with current and without, massage, stretching, and ultrasound all with minimal results. I walked out of my first appointment and into my house with a big smile from the results already achieved from the first visit. Anthony was able to provide a deep massage that was needed in the muscle bands. I've already booked my next appointment. read more

Alyssa has magic hands! She specializes in deep tissue massage and is amazing. She listens to your needs and communicates well. The reception staff is also very accommodating If you need to reschedule and appointment and very friendly. The chiropractor is very friendly and knowledgeable as well. read more

I had a massage here today. Amazing! Everyone was very nice. My massage therapist was Daniel. I told him my areas of concern and he got to work. Deep tissue and pressure. Sure, some spots really hurt but I knew that going in. I will be going back and would highly recommend them. read more

After several months of not going to this clinic I received a text saying they missed me. After leaving, I decided I wasn't going to write a review on my experience until this standardized text appeared on my phone pretending they cared about me and my well-being, after ignoring my concerns while I was there. For over a month, I voiced concerns over the "doctor" providing the chiropractic care. Brand new, newly licensed chiropractor with an ego the size of his office judged me immediately for my weight. In his opinion my back pain had very little to do with the on the job injury I sought help for but everything to do with my obesity. On day one he gave me a set of exercises, including dead lifts to "strengthen" the area of pain. When asked if I could return to work unrestricted, he responded "I don't see a problem with that". I'm a floor nurse at a local hospital, could barely walk without tears, and in his opinion I was suitable to care for total care patients. When I asked the chiropractor overseeing "Dr." Alex the same question he immediately responded "absolutely not"! Every visit he had a new exercise plan with movement that would have caused permanent damage to my mid and low back, ending my floor nursing career. After several attempts to get the office to understand the liability Alex brings to the clinic, my concerns fell on deaf ears. Even the seasoned chiropractor had nothing but words of praise for Alex after agreeing with the concerns I brought up. "He's new! He's still learning"! He'll figure it out one day"! In the meantime how much are you charging for him to figure it out?!?!? The office manager, Christine, was very polite and understanding. She has since been fired. I originally started there because my son, Anthony worked there. He has since been fired. The LMT, Emily was amazing. She was very attentive to my areas of needs. She has since been fired! But Alex is still there "figuring it out"! read more

First time getting a massage and it was a prenatal one! Absolutely amazing! Highly recommend them. Very comfortable and relaxed environment! Great experience! read more

Had a massage here last week, never been before but figured I'd give it a try. Front desk staff was really nice and they offered snacks and water before my massage. I booked a basic 60min Swedish massage but with deep tissue work on my upper back as i have a lot of tight muscles that cause a lot of pain in my neck. What i got was probably barely a massage in my opinion, I've had a lot of massages in the past, this was my most expensive(as i pay out of pocket) and also worst one yet. My masseuse was nice and polite but the massage mainly consisted of her holding medium pressure on my "knots" for long periods of time which i kinda gave her a heads up typically doesn't do much for me. Also i mean i can do that at home, if I'm coming to have a massage done i want someone to dig into those tight muscles and well, massage them out. Sorry but i wouldn't recommend read more

Purchased 1/2 hr massage as gift, when recipient went to get massage this business told him they would not honor his 1/2,hr unless he purchased another 1/2 hr. This person did not have money to buy another 1/2 hr. I'm shamed to have even bothered with this place and will NEVER step foot in there door again. They never mentioned any of this when I purchased. Bad business and terrible customer service read more

When I walked in yesterday I was in so much pain I couldn't move my head. I had never been to this clinic before but had such a wonderful experience I'm not sure I'll ever go elsewhere. The staff was beyond wonderful, so welcoming and friendly. Kat was my massage therapist and I highly recommend her to anyone for any massage need you have. After an hour with her I had some motion restored in my neck and left the room in so much less pain than I entered with. All around great experience! read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. AK Massage Clinic has always accommodated my schedule and they have such a calm, relaxing atmosphere!
