He doesnt treat to just make you feel better, like most oil rubbing masseuse does. He makes you better period. He is so knowledgeable about the body and mind.

This is…read moreevidenced by the fact that I haven't been back to see him in many, many months because the issues he helped me with stayed resolved. I would recommend him for almost anything someone might need help with. His tool kit is unique and he pays attention to his clients to innovate on how to apply those tools. Alongside his notable professionalism, he is funny, easy to be around, and flexible. 10/10 experience.

I work in dentistry, and am constantly putting strain on my body, particularly my neck, back, and…read morewrists. Pre-COVID, I used to be a regular every-two-week massage client, but I had let many months lapse and finally decided to go see Tayler at Level Up Massage. First off, working in health care, I am very observant of COVID precautions and practices and Tayler made me feel very safe. Secondly, I was so impressed with his wide range of massage techniques. He used a combination of cupping, Gua Sha, and deep tissue techniques for my 90-minute massage, and made me feel like a whole new person. I've had some massages that felt good during the session but made little impact to my overall mobility and pain levels. Tayler didn't shy away from firm pressure and hard-to-reach muscles that gave me amazing relief and improved mobility for days afterwards. He will also make sure you have some tips for self-care so that you can give yourself relief at home between sessions. Lastly, for payment, I was able to use my FSA, which was great. I highly recommend Tayler and Level Up Massage!

I received my first massage from Joe today. I felt comfortable around him right away, which helped…read moreme to relax. One thing that I definitely noticed is that there was very little chit chat during the massage. Just a little brief chit chat here and there. I appreciated that not only because Joe wasn't too chatty (he and I did chat a little bit here and there, though, which was nice), but because I have received massage from over 70 massage therapists in the Seattle area over the past 20 years, and there are very few therapists that I feel comfortable enough with during the FIRST session to not feel at all compelled to chat with the therapist quite a bit during my massage. I usually want to know who is massaging me! I get curious about the person!! Haha. I can honestly say I've never received a massage quite like the massage that I received today from Joe. I enjoyed some interesting stretches, some neck work that felt very needed, and some great mid-to-low-back bodywork. Part of my Deep Lomi Style massage was done with me positioned side-lying - my favorite position in which to receive massage. I had checked in advance with Joe via e-mail about his safety procedures, and they're sound. He was able to leave the window open (at my request) during my massage, and he had an air purifier going also. He wore a mask for the entire duration of the intake, the massage, and the check-out. The music was soft, not too loud or intrusive, and it provided a lovely background noise. The lighting was perfect for me, I prefer the lighting to be slightly darker in the massage room since it's more relaxing for me that way. Joe checked in about the level of pressure, and he was very open and responsive to my feedback - which he strongly encouraged me to give - about level of pressure, position of my body and head on the table, preference for bolstering, any areas to avoid or go lightly on, type of oil used, and anything else that made the massage experience truly special. I felt that Joe went above and beyond to make sure that I felt cared for and attended to. Usually when I review a massage therapist here on yelp, I explain that I graduated from Port Townsend School of Massage in 2016 - however, I have never practiced massage professionally, since my life ended up going in a different direction at that time. So, I know a bit more about massage therapy than someone who doesn't have this particular educational background. I enjoyed my massage with Touch Factor Massage and Bodywork, I would receive massage from Joe again, and I would highly recommend this business to anyone who wants a truly unique and special massage experience.

Pain melted away, feel brand new! This is the second time I've come in and seen Brian. A real…read moremiracle worker. The first time I had pain in my shoulder area. I'd been carrying heavy loads and traveling and swung one giant suitcase too many onto the conveyor belt which caused extreme pain and stiffness. I woke up one morning unable to move my arm above my head and thats when I went to Deep River Bodyworks. I actually had gone to see other people before, but they didn't really help solve the root of my pain. One session, advice on stretches and I was feeling brand new. The second time I went to see him, today actually, I was experiencing pain in my right hand, right foot (sole) and lower back. I discussed what problems I had, what my past few months were like and 1.5 hours later, the pain is gone. Oh yeah, sure, at first it was intense but over time, it started to feel like stretching and less sore. I walked out without any pain in my right foot, with my hands feeling loss and more importantly, with my lower back feeling actual relief. Twice he's listened and actually worked on the trigger points that cause pain, not necessarily the area where I have pain. He's more than a massage therapist!

I recently completed the entire Soma series with Jeff and really enjoyed and benefitted from the…read moreexperience. I have a couple recalcitrant pain areas (some hip arthritis, back pain, and scar tissue from a bad elbow break) and although they are not completely gone, Jeff dug in deep, so to speak, to address the areas with deep massage and stretching. Plus he really believes in empowering clients to work on themselves, and taught me how to do specific stretches and rolling maneuvers with various balls, rollers, and strap so that I could continue the work at home. We encouraged me to make videos of many of these with my phone so that I could remember them, and they have been very helpful. I am very active with running, hiking, and biking, so it is great to know more about how my musculoskeletal system and how to keep it as healthy as possible. Jeff is also very personable and fun to chat with, and you can really feel his commitment and belief in the Soma work, which has clearly helped him a lot too, since he is very active as a rock climber, biker, runner, etc. This guy is the real deal!

There's so much tension around my neck that i can't even move sometimes. I have tried so many other places that cost more but not nearly as good as Trevor. They either had light hands(I like real deep/heavy massage) or couldn't get the deep tissue spots. However, Trevor paid extra( I mean really EXTRA and DETAIL) attentions to particular areas that need most help and he knows what he's doing as a excellent professional massage therapist.

Love the healing space at Sage Bodyworks!…read more The room is clean and in a well-lit space which brings a welcoming atmosphere for healing. Before the appointment, intake paperwork is done beforehand to ensure you get most out of your massage. A few days before, there are clear and concise directions on how to get to the office and access free parking. Yay organization! Sage Bodyworks offers a unique approach to massage, they focus on gentle and specific techniques over the typical deep tissue methods. I had my first craniosacral therapy session with Collin and it was great! He started with a quick assessment of the body and we started our session soon after. He is gentle, intuitive and clearly skilled with the work he does. Not only was it relaxing, it was effective in releasing tension throughout my body. After our session, Collin checked in with me to see how I was feeling and what I noticed during and after the process. If you're looking for a different approach to the conventional deep pressure massage, definitely check out Sage Bodyworks!

I am an…read moreactive Cross Fitter and have often been disappointed with the depth of massage and lack of intuition on the parts that need the most work. Jeremiah has an amazing understanding of the musculature on the body and how it all is put together. He can use insanely deep pressure which I have NEVER found before and is good at providing options if he hits a 'nerve'. Both massages I felt much better than when I arrived....not just relaxed but a sense that more parts of my body were working well. His studio is very cool, in an industrial neighborhood in Georgetown, on a second floor walk-up studio. Quite large and bright. Jeremiah himself seems super sweet and genuine (and no he didn't pay me for a review). Highly recommend for active people that never quite get their muscular pains addressed.

A few months ago, my back pain intensified and I felt like I really needed to get some immediate relief. I planned on seeing Jeremiah, thinking it would be a quick massage to alleviate the pain temporarily and eventually be back in the same pain a few days later, as I always am. Wow, was I ever wrong. Jeremiah is AMAZING! I've honestly never had a professional give me a massage who actually worked towards getting me to feel better permanently and not just temporarily. Of course, he's not a magician nor a surgeon, so it's not like everything will be fixed completely for the rest of my life. However, this was the first time where I felt relaxed and like something was actually done for me after leaving my appointment. Jeremiah is extremely thorough and super knowledgeable when it comes to the human body. He is indeed a true healer and has the Midas touch. :) Also, his place is very relaxing and clean. I appreciate that he has never hassled me about getting me in for more sessions or making me feel as though he is money hungry, like most other places I've been to. He is truly amazing and cares about your well-being. I recommend him to anyone and everyone needing pain relief and someone who genuinely cares.
