I loved my massage!!! Usually I don't get massages from men because of past experiences. There were no creep vibes going on. Plus Cash was recommended by my sister so I knew it was okay to give him a try. Cash has the right amount of pressure I have been NEEDING! He stretches, lengthens, and massages the body. So it's like a deep stretch massage and worth every penny! I can't wait to go back and have already recommended him to my friends! read more

See all

I went for the first time to treat myself to a birthday massage. I had never had one before and figured I would give it a try. This place had good reviews so I gave it a shot. Chris is very off-putting and not very personable and I didn't feel very welcome at first but the massage went okay. I decided to go back a second time because I felt like it helped in some ways, but he really hurt me this second time. I could feel my shoulder blade popping a lot and when I winced he whispered into my ear just "you feel that?". Then he had the audacity to give me a hard time for having a "stiff neck" and said it was "all in my head". I have been feeling crappy all day the next day. I was trying to give him a chance but honestly he is rude and I think I can do better. He is not very welcoming to newcomers nor is he gentle at times. I would say that if he just kept his mouth shut instead of acting like a know-it-all, the process would have maybe garnered him 3 stars. Besides, if something were wrong, all he had to do was tell me to relax and help me with releasing more tension for him to work with. Don't give me flack for something that I can't help. I'm still nervous and new to massages as a way of therapy. Not a great way to keep a customer. I won't be coming back. Too expensive to have someone treat me like garbage and also make me feel bad too. Would give zero stars if I could!!! read more

One of the best massages I've had in a long time. If you have knots/stiffness I highly recommend this place. I've never had someone find all the knots and really work on my shoulder blade and neck area as well as he did. I will definitely be back. Thanks Christopher read more

Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Just to start off -- the reason for a star off was because at the moment of my massage, they were doing construction on the building next to his, which I know isn't any fault of Christopher's, but is still a pretty big disturbance for a massage business. Hopefully it's done by the time you're reading this! There were a lot of things I really liked about this experience here. I loved that the table was heated, and I loved that he wiped down with hot towels afterwards, two things that are often not done everywhere. I hate the slightly oily feeling after a massage and usually go home straight after to take a shower. And of course, who doesn't love a heated table? Christopher was able to help align my back and work out all the knots in my neck/shoulder/back. I spend the majority of my day behind a computer, or standing for long periods of time, so I always have problems there. He gave me some everyday tips for combatting the problem, and I've generally been doing better since then! read more

I'm honestly reluctant to tell y'all how extraordinary this experience was because I know exactly how this works: I explain how Christopher is a miracle worker and then y'all take every available opening. Ugh. Despite my misgivings, I had such a great massage, that I have to share. I booked this place for two reasons, it was nearby and there was an opening. I NEVER expected to stumble upon one of the best (and most healing) massages I've ever had. I honestly have never had a massage like this. IIRC, Christopher doesn't call it a massage, he calls it "body work". And work, he did. There seemed to be a channel of communication between Christopher's hands and my muscles. He let the knots and connective tissue guide him and it made for a massage like none other. Long story short: make an appointment. Your body will thank you. read more

So when I booked this appointment, I accidentally booked two 90 min sessions on two consecutive days before my board exam... Turns out the only MISTAKE I made was canceling one of them!!! This was literally one of the BEST massages of my life (and I get weekly ones at home and my regular therapist is great). I've never been so relaxed so quickly! I have tension HA and migraine from constant stress and anxiety(thanks career)... and it was exacerbated significantly by this exam(again, thanks career). I credit my ability to sleep before this exam to this excellent massage. The studio was warm and welcoming; music and ambiance was calming. Chris was very professional and is a gifted therapist. If I lived in the area, I would be a regular here. If have any reason to be in Dallas again, I'll be booking more than one appointment! read more

Thank you Yelpers for helping me FINALLY find an amazing massage therapist! After trying all of the high end spas in Dallas, including hotels like Zaza, I was getting really disappointed in the mediocre service and overrated prices. I woke up with back pain one day and decided I needed a massage no matter what. I found Balance Through Massage on Yelp, and it had better ratings than the other area spas, so I decided to try it. SO glad I did! Christopher will consult with you beforehand to customize a massage that will feel and work best for your body. Like the other reviews said, your time does not start until your massage starts on the table. Where else can you get that?! If you want a 60 or 90 minute massage, you get the FULL time on the table! The room is very relaxing, and I love the aromatherapy scents on the head rest to make breathing more enjoyable. You are truly paying for a great, self enhancing massage that you will continue to feel the next day. I'm definitely going to make this a monthly must-do for my body! read more

Christopher did an amazing job and really focused in on the parts of my body that were tense and full of stress. I left feeling so relaxed and will definitely be coming back! read more

Christopher is simply amazing. A true miracle worker! I tweaked my neck a few months ago and tried to remedy the pain with a chiropractic adjustment, which just made things worse. I came to Christopher a bit desperate and he was absolutely wonderful. He discussed which areas were causing me discomfort beforehand, and checked in with me through the massage. I just scheduled my third appointment with him and can't wait to feel that "massage buzz" after the session. Christopher is considerate, knowledgeable about his craft, and a truly pleasant person to interact with. I would 100% recommend him (and have) to anyone! read more

Chris is amazing and knows exactly what he's is doing. He cleared my shoulder pain and also is the only person I like to go to.

Fantastic intuition :) Five stars, Christopher knew what to do and released the tension on my neck. Best massage I've received in years, coming from a former clinical LMT. Forget the construction work- if you want a release you've found the right place. read more

Balance Through Massage is everything I was looking for in a massage therapy service and more! It's a high end massage experience with results - and, that's NOT easy to find. Trust me when I say this is the real deal. I've been to other massage therapists and I've been to many high end spas, as well - I've even had a massage in a cabana by the ocean in Hawaii... and Balance Through Massage beats ALL of those any day of the week! I've had 4 appointments now and not only has each and every visit been a relaxing, comfortable, luxurious experience from a seasoned professional, but I can already tell a major difference in my pain relief and flexibility. Please check them out - you can't go wrong! read more

I booked a massage at 8am on a Tuesday and was able to get the first appointment at 10. Christopher did a great job and accommodated my special requests in regards to my back injury. I went in to have him work on my shoulders and he put lots of pressure and helped loosen then up. I'm not normally used to having such deep pressure applied but it really did help. I am glad I found someone in my area who is outside of the massage franchise (those are terrible and lack good customer service). I felt totally comfortable and look forward to going back for another massage in the future. read more

Chelsea has magic hands! She has made such a difference in the muscular tension & pain I've long carried in my neck, shoulders, & back. Weekly body work by her has changed my life! She also incorporates some lymphatic drainage massage into my sessions to help my immune system do it's thing. And she has such a beautiful spirit - positive, warm, welcoming, & deeply caring. You can tell this is her calling in life. (Chelsea, if you read this, THANK YOU)!! read more

Chelsea was awesome! She's is by far the best massage therapist I've ever been to. She is always professional and truly cares about her clients well being. I definitely recommend booking with her. read more

Please visit Chelsea for a massage. She has the best hands in the DFW area and will have you feeling like a new person.

5 stars for a reason. Hands down best massage. He knows what he's doing and is leaps and bounds above the rest of the run of the mill "spa" massage therapists. He found all my trouble spots and worked them out. wished I could come on the regular. Thank you again! I feel amazing. read more

First off I want to mention I had always been hesitant/stubborn to pay for a massage. I can't believe how wrong I was. After years of working out and experiencing some pain in my neck, upper, and lower back over the past few months, I went and saw a chiropractor, applied ice and heat, and took time off from the gym to try and heal. It wasn't until I went and saw Chris that I started to understand why I was so sore. Christopher took his time to listen to me and understand not only why I was there, but also he provided feedback and advice on how to prevent any future injuries. A few days later I'm feeling like a new person. Even little things like walking my dog, waking up, or getting ready for work in the morning have completely changed. I will definitely be going back. read more

I've been battling a pinched nerve in my lower back for well over 2 years, if not longer. Many friends have recommended I see a chiropractor, but my previous experience with chiropractors hasn't been great and I've repeatedly felt they only helped me short-term. I decided to see Christopher in the hopes he could provide some longer-term relief. Not only did he take the time to identify exactly where and how I was hurting, but he showed me some exercises that I can do in my own time to help alleviate the issue. Christopher's massage techniques were not only spot on, but I could feel instant relief. I spend a good chunk of my day at a desk, and Chris quickly identified that I also had upper back tension. He does a very deep tissue massage which can be intense at times, but he clearly knew exactly where and how to massage in order to relieve the tension. I've done my stretches daily since seeing Chris a week ago, and the amount of lower back pain I have is diminishing by the day. I really appreciate that Chris took the time to talk with me about my concerns and problem areas instead of just massaging me all over and calling it a day. He was very professional and thorough. I highly recommend him, especially if you have a problematic area! read more

One of the best therapeutic massages I have ever had. Focused on the issue and works deep tissue and flexibility. The best!

The Best Massage I have ever had! After a less than stellar massage experience at a local massage chain I turned to yelp to see what else was out there. I was intrigued by Christopher at Balance Through Massage because I have never seen so many positive raving reviews. I booked my appointment online and the process could not have been any simpler. You can select what day you want to come in and see all of the available time slots. His hours are excellent and include appointments as late as 6:00pm on weekdays and Saturday appointments. I am an extremely active person and workout usually 6 times a week. I am a StudioHop Member so I do anything from HIIT, to Yoga, to Weightlifting to Spin. I have competed in Body Building and Powerlifting in the past and I am also on a local Dance Team and take many dance classes a week in addition to my normal morning workouts. So its fair to say that I push my body very hard and was in pretty rough shape. I do not get massages regularly since I have never felt like they have been worth the money. Most massages I have received in the past feel extremely generic and like the therapist is going through the motions of what they are supposed to do. I leave feeling only 10% better than when I came in. I had a completely different experience this past Saturday at Balance Through Massage. The massage was unlike anything I have experienced in the past with many different techniques used. He was really able to work through the pain and stiffness in my upper back. The studio was extremely relaxing and the massage table was so warm. The aromatherapy was subtle and complemented the massage beautifully. I love that this is not a massage chain so I do not have to go through the sales pitch after my massage or pick from a massage menu or add "upgrades". I am looking to book another appointment later in the month and plan on getting a massage from Chris more regularly to keep my body pain free and mobile. If you are an athlete or have been disappointed by lackluster massages in the past - go see Chris. You wont regret it! read more

Oh my God!!! I have NEVER! EVER, EVER, EVER (in my Chris Tucker voice) experienced a massage like Christopher. I was knotted, stressed, hurting and his technique worked all of that out. The guy has hands from God. Seriously. I feel so much better, and he gave me tips on what made my neck and shoulders the way they were and to not tense up like I do. I am never going back to those chain massage places. I feel like a Queen today, and will invest my money with Christopher. read more

First time visitor! ** Chris was nice. I've had massages monthly in Charlotte. Chris made a point to tell me i was knotty and cracky. I will go back to him because I feel like he wants to get my back back to normal. I actually started his stretches also. :-| read more

Wow oh Wow, From the conversation to the massage. Everything was superb! He is definitely one of Dallas best. I cant wait to go back! read more

Christopher is the man! After reading several reviews and doing some research about the business, I decided to give this place a try. I had been dealing with some upper back issues and was really stiff. Chris took some time to get to know me, inquired about the areas to focus on, and provided great customer service and even gave me some helpful tips on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I would highly recommend anyone to schedule an appointment with Christopher if they are needing an amazing massage. read more

Best massage in my life! I have gotten hundreds of massages all across the country. Look no further! Very pleasant room and it smelled nice too. He was very thorough with every part of my body. I feel refreshed and pain free. read more

The worst massage I've ever had. Not only was extremely rude... the massage was terrible. Didn't work out any of my knots and had to go to a different therapist. Never again. read more

Excellent Masseuse! Really focused on my pain points and spent a lot of time working on my problematic shoulders. He is able to give deep pressure that hurts so good but really helped me leave feeling a lot better. I mentioned I had been getting headaches and migraines and he worked on my neck to try to relieve this issue, it did the trick as I didn't have a headache for weeks after my massage. I will be back! read more

If you've been looking for the best massage place in Dallas, you've found it! Christopher was so knowledgeable and knew exactly what he was doing. He starts off by asking you if anything in particular needs extra attention and he'll take his time to try to figure out the cause of any discomfort and then tell you ways to relieve it. I brought my particular husband for a massage and for the first time ever after leaving a massage, he left so happy with the results. He's definitely hooked and will be going back! read more

This was the best massage I have ever had! Christopher is incredible. He is intuitive, strong, kind, and literally thinks of everything to make the experience magical. I travel regularly and have massages quite often, this was simply the best. I left feeling lighter, more calm, and infinitely more flexible. The next morning, I am often sore but today I feel incredible! Still light and flexible. Thank you Christopher, next time in Dallas I will come and see you. read more

Christopher's incredibly gentle and empathetic nature makes him an easy person to open up to and connect with, in general. This coupled with his amazing skills and strength make him a phenomenal massage therapist. The man has supernatural upper body strength, he's like a real-life Popeye. At one point during our session, he had my entire upper body lifted off the table as though I weighed nothing. His ability to find the places in which a body stores tension is uncanny. One session with him, and you'll probably be like me - booking your next one before you can even make it out the door. He's simply the best. read more

Christopher was absolutely amazing at knowing what kind of massage I needed- I left feeling 100% refreshed and relaxed. Great music and aromatherapy. I felt totally comfortable and at home. Loved the convenient online booking system too. I'll definitely be coming back again! read more

Amazing, customized sports massage for my super sore muscles. Christopher is a life saver!!! I always book with him whenever I need real therapy from a massage. read more

I was able to get an appointment on the same day. The massage was great and felt a lot better. Would visit again.

So I'm in Dallas at an AirBNB, hurt my back badly, so of course I turn to yelp! Christopher had awesome reviews so I decided to try it, even though the price seemed a bit steeper than what I'm used to in Atlanta and Tampa. Well know I know WHY! Because I've NEVER had a massage like this before!! He listens to your problem areas and genuinely tries to help you. There is warm lotion, a warm table and hot towels that are amazing. This massage was exactly what I needed for back pain! Now I'm just sad because I'm not from Dallas! Y'all better do yourselves a favor and try it out! read more

Best massage in Dallas! It's taken me awhile to find the perfect therapist here, but I've finally succeeded. Deep tissue massage is a regular part of my health regimen. I immediately knew I was in good hands on my first visit. Christopher is not a newbie. I like his confidence and technique. Since he apparently has a loyal book of clients, you will probably need to schedule a few days in advance. I have, so I'm in (otherwise I would not have written this review and attracted competitors). read more

After relocating to Dallas, I didn't know where to begin when looking for a new massage therapist! I most often use Yelp to influence decision making when looking for new services. Every review written on behalf of Balance Through Massage received five stars and supportive reasoning for scheduling with Christopher. Christopher's website allowed for all time slots to be viewed before selecting a particular day, sent a confirmation email providing appointment details and address information, and included pictures of the location for viewing. Upon arriving, Christopher took the time to better understand my individual needs by holding a consult; he was super nice, very knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor! The massage was wonderful, to say the VERY LEAST! Best experience I've had in all of my years of receiving massage therapy! I will be returning and hope that those reading this take the leap in trying Balance Through Massage as I did! You won't regret it! read more

After complaining to a good friend of mine that I couldn't find a really good therapeutic massage therapist in Dallas, she simply said "Go see Christopher". I made my first appointment while he was still at the Riviera Spa and he's been my therapist for more than four years now. I've had massages for decades, at most major hotels, resorts, and spas across the country and I can confirm that Christopher is simply the best. He spends time getting to know your personal needs and is most definitely a true therapist; tending to your physical needs from workout aches & pains to alleviating job related stress. I gave my skeptical husband a gift certificate and now he's a regular client too. Professional, talented, intuitive, and incredibly knowledgable; you know you're in the best hands possible!! read more

Chris is fantastic. I'd been experiencing shoulder and arm pain for months and finally decided to get a massage. He managed to work out knots that I'd had for years! read more

I've had neck pain for quite some time. When I moved to Dallas a couple months back, I woke up in excruciating pain in my neck/shoulder. I found Chris online by looking at reviews. In all my years of going to massage therapists he was the best therapist I ever had. I couldn't move my shoulder before walking in and when I walked out my muscles had all loosened up, he was able to feel where my problem areas were. Lastly, he does a good job combining the ambiance of a luxury massage with the discipline of a therapist who is trying to help you alleviate pain. read more
