Competent therapists, friendly and helpful front desk staff, but I won't be returning. I've been here twice, and both times had weird interactions from two different therapists. One seemed annoyed that I didn't practice yoga because "yoga is life" according to him. The other therapist lectured me about my tight muscles in my back, but didn't make any suggestions on how to try to rectify the problem. I'm receptive to feedback, but not to being lectured or spoken down to by people who I'm paying for a service. read more

I've had a ton of massages in Gainesville, and I must say Mark is the best there is. I have chronic shoulder pain so I always look for a therapist who specializes in deep tissue and sports injuries. After trying about five other therapists from around town who couldn't quite seem to go deep enough, I finally lucked up on Bowers. I told them my problem and Linda immediately suggested Mark. That was over a year ago and I haven't been more pleased. Mark is professional, courteous, and has been in the game for nearly 20 years, so his knowledge is vast. I always get immediate relief after visiting. Love it! read more

Bowers Massage Therapy - Relaxing room - Massage Therapy Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

See all

One of the best massages that I have ever had! The atmosphere was wonderful. I felt welcomed walking in with my two other friends. We filled out some paperwork, sipped on water and had complimentary mints, then were called back to our rooms. I can't remember the name of my masseuse but he was amazing and had been giving massages since 1997! We chatted a bit and he gave me a choice of various essentials oils. He really focused on the areas that I specified and catered to anything that I asked. Afterwards, they gave out water bottles and Epson salt. Definitely recommend, I'll probably be going back despite already having used my groupon and having to pay a little more. read more

Best therapeutic massages I have ever had! (3years/5 therapists) They have a convenient location, great parking and affordable prices. It is a small intimate facility with nice decor in the rooms, and a friendly professional staff. read more

I used a Groupon deal for my first massage here. Scheduling was quick, everything moved efficiently during check in. As I sat waiting for my appointment, everyone walking out looked like they were on cloud nine. TJ was my massage therapist and he did a terrific job - probably the best I've had, even compared to Massage Envy. The rooms are decorated beautifully, and the overall atmosphere is perfectly soothing. On checkout, I was given some epsom salts and water, with instructions to take a warm bath tonight and stay extra hydrated. I felt very taken care of here! p.s. as soon as I left, a severe thunderstorm started and I had to weave home through downed trees & without the benefit of traffic lights. I was still relaxed by the time I made it home. Bowers will restore your original factory settings for real. read more

Class act massages. This isn't your frufru spa type massage place. They do medical massage and relaxation massage and I came here to treat migraines after I was hospitalized for them. Not only does the massage help my migraines, today I received the most relaxing massage I have had in years. Brandi was able to thoroughly relax me and that is no easy feat with this banjo back of mine. Each room is theme decorated, yet not crowded or overdone. The facility is very clean and I felt 100% comfortable and private while there. I have had many massages in recent years and I can tell you that Bower's therapists are top notch! I've been there thrice and have booked another visit, continuing indefinitely. read more

I had Allison as my therapist and she gives me the best massage I've ever had! I got Groupon deals and came here for relaxation massage. It was very easy to make an appointment over the phone. They have many available time and therapists to choose from. The massage itself was absolutely amazing. I felt refreshed and relaxed. After the massage they gave me bottle water, some epsom salt sample to try. They offer next two massages for $45, then the third for $50, and then back to $60 regular price. It was a great experience. I would highly recommend Allison and this place. read more

I can't give a review for the massage because my appointment was cancelled THREE times. I understand that people get sick and things happen but this is just poor customer service at this point. Not to mention, that I drove all the way out to the massage studio for my third appointment and was told that they thought they had my number wrong because they couldn't reach me. They have called me multiple times in the past to cancel my other apts so that was clearly not the case. I've worked multiple customer service jobs in the past and this is completely poor service. I will tell everyone to steer clear of this place read more

Bowers says they accept insurance but refuse to file the claims. I've asked them multiple times to rectify this issue, but the ONE person in the office who handles the insurance refuses to do so. She has VERY limited hours and doesn't return my calls, so it's nearly impossible to even discuss it. When I finally get her on the phone, she says she doesn't need to file the claim. I had to reimburse my HSA account because there were no corresponding claims to match with my charges. But why should Bowers care? They got their money. read more

I have had a few massages in my life and usually when I ask for a deep tissue massage I am disappointed...Not this time. Amazing..She knew what she was doing and really got deep into the muscles. I am a person that can never relax, but after that hour I was a whole new person. Toxins were worked out and had a total reset..You won't regret the experience. Give then a try. read more

I bought a groupon here about 2 months ago now, and they had a very full schedule so it took almost 3 weeks for me to get an appointment. I made two appointments at that time since my groupon was for 2 massages. The day before the first one, I got a call saying the therapist was sick and I needed to have my massage rescheduled, and they were so booked and my timing I couldn't get another one until after my second appointment which was over 3 weeks later. At 2:20 on the day my second scheduled massage was supposed to happen (at 5:30 - not the make up appointment) I got a call saying that the massage therapist was sick. To be fair when I bought the groupon I had read similar reviews like this and I thought that maybe the reviewer wasn't giving them a fair opportunity, but this happened to me for BOTH of my appointments 3 weeks apart. This is absolutely unacceptable and a terrible way to conduct business. I can't address any of the actual services because I never got any. read more

Staff was very courteous and knowledgeable of different massage techniques to help with my condition (went due to a referral from my OB for prenatal massage). I was seen by Rachel--she was super accommodating and did well to check on me as well as my comfort level during the session. The room was quaint and the fragrance used was just enough to help soothe and relax, but not overwhelming. I plan to come back and have already referred two others! read more

I tried the deep tissue massage, and i really liked it. actually, i already booked my next appointment

I forgot her name, but she's tall and thin and we spoke about rocks and minerals. A+, one of the best in gville!!

Great place to go all r very friendly. Love how mark does his work but talks a little too much. Little less talk would be nice.

Alex is awesome!!! I am very skeptical about new massage therapist but he put me right at ease. He pin pointed the areas I asked for and did not push me. He worked out a bunch of the kinks I had and I am going back next week! Please call them, they are awesome!!! read more
