Quest Chiropractic was recommended by a trusted friend who has lived in Philadelphia for decades,…read moreand I was glad I took his advice. Dr. Tremblay is knowledgeable, helpful, and a great listener, and he has the physical strength to work effectively with larger or tighter body types. In my case, that strength makes a real difference and helps me feel genuinely unlocked after an adjustment. Every time I leave, I feel noticeably better and more mobile in my neck, mid-back, and upper back. The office is clean, tranquil, and easy to book through its online scheduling system. The massage machine is absolutely incredible, providing a deep, therapeutic treatment that loosens the body and sets you up perfectly for the adjustment. As a lifelong athlete and current keyboard warrior, I have found this work enormously helpful for managing accumulated tension. Regular visits have been outside my budget lately, but I plan to return soon and highly recommend Quest.

I suffered a bad injury last week, and the back pain was being persistent for about five days, and…read moreI happened to stumble upon Cryo Spa on groupon during this time. I know my mother uses Cryo for chronic pain, so I thought it was worth a shot for some acute pain as well. I admit that I was nervous, but I called Cryo Spa and was lucky to be given a same-day appointment. They're open until 8pm on some weekdays, so it made it easy for me to head straight over after work. They were even able to get me in early. The girl at the desk who was the one who helped me with the process was super patient and understanding. I was worried about leaving my belongings unattended in a new place, but you actually get to stay in a room with your stuff and keep watch the entire time. The attendant left the room while I changed, and then I stepped into the Cryo chamber while it was turned off. The sound of the door closing alerts the attendant, and then she comes in and elevates you so your head and neck are above the chamber, and then the cooling begins. She talked to me the whole time, asking about my injury to distract me from the excessively freezing temperatures for the three minute session. I think I did feel some improvement since the experience, but I have to admit that their prices seem steep for a three minute session. I'm not sure if time in the chamber increases with more experience, but this is certainly something to consider. I'm definitely thinking about returning for another session.

Cryo Spa Natural Healing Center in the Holland Shopping Center, Holland, PA, is a holistic…read morealternative health services center at the intersection of Holland and Buck Roads. It can be a little challenging to reach if coming down Buck Road, but with patience the traffic and red lights can be overcome. It is well worth your effort to find your way there. Although cryotherapy (exposing your body to extremely cold temperature for a short period of time to deal with autoimmune conditions through the release of endorphins and anti-inflammatory proteins) is the main attraction, I was there on a first visit for a full body massage to address lingering lower back issues. I was greeted promptly by the front desk person, who asked me to complete three pages of information regarding my medical history and reason for coming. Before I was finished, my masseuse Marla was introducing herself with warm smile and firm handshake. Before starting the massage, I was also introduced to Lucy, the owner of the facility. She offered to give me a quick tour. She showed me the cryotherapy equipment, shiatsu and mediation rooms, and finally the massage chamber where Marla would attempt to loosen my lumbar/sacral spine and take my discomfort away. The place is bigger than it looks from the outside, and Lucy was very knowledgeable about all the modalities offered. When it was time to start my massage, Marla directed me to disrobe and get under the sheets on the table, face down on the headrest. She left the room while I did so. Upon returning, she asked a few questions about the strength of the massage desired (strong), and instructed me to tell her if I was experiencing pain (Don't worry. I don't deal with pain in silence.) She explained that she would be doing a combination of stretches, deep tissue, pressure point and Swedish techniques which she labeled as, "Sports Massage." She was amazing. Her hands intuitively found the discomfort in my back and legs, and dug, kneaded, lifted/stretched my joints, and actually moved the muscles, tendons and ligaments around to release their tension and help them find their proper place in my body alignment. She had incredible strength, and was able to lift each leg, pull it further upward, while manipulating the musculature and joints. All the while, we conversed quietly about how I was feeling, giving me directions to help her, and informing me about her experience in massage and healthcare. Fascinating woman. Excellent healer. After my hour, I arose slowly. I felt looser and longer. More significantly, a sense of wellbeing and mild euphoria surrounded me. I was extremely relaxed and felt a limberness and flexibility that had been absent for a long while. I slept very well last night. This morning, even as I write this review, my body feels like it is glowing. I know I will return to CryoSpa regularly to maintain and improve this sensation of health, strength and vitality. Marla did great work. I also want to give the Shiatsu a try, and if brave enough, go into the cryospa itself to see what that can do. Totally positive first impression.

Julia Taylor is a phenomenal massage therapist…read more This is no run of the mill back rub. She is a true healer. I started going to her a few years ago when I was suffering from chronic back and neck pain. Nothing seemed to help my back pain. I went to a chiropractor, accupuncture, other massage therapists, physical therapy, you name it. I would feel better for an evening or two, and then the specter would return. But the thing that finally made the muscles in my neck and back calm down, and let me live a little, was a series of massages from Julia Taylor. I went through six sessions over a couple months. Julia was able to teach my muscles, that it was going to be alright, and they could just relax, and get strong and healthy again. Now when I feel a tinge of discomfort trying to work its ways back in, I go to Julia and let her work her magic on me.

But this grad student can only afford so many massages. Over the years, I've been to, oh, probably about a dozen massage therapists. Julia is unquestionably the best I've ever been to. She's everything anyone could ever want in a massage therapist: kind, gentle-hearted, professional, intuitive. Perhaps my favorite thing about Julia is how quick she is to respond to email requests, often squeezing me in the next day. (I've emailed her more than once when I've tweaked something in my neck or back and sent her a desperate "Help! I know you're busy, but I need you!" email.) She's been able to "read" my body like no one I've ever met, and she always comes into a session knowing what we'd worked on the past few times. I've recommended her to friends, and they've all gone back to her repeatedly. Her prices are quite reasonable - $85 for a 75 minute session; $100 for 90 minutes. She also frequently runs package specials - get on her email list to find out about these. Be warned - she usually runs a little long with her sessions. It might wreak a little havoc on your schedule, but who can complain about a few extra minutes of massage? Honestly, she's good enough that, should I ever move out of Philly, I'd come back just to see her.

Nothing fancy here. If you expect to lie face down and shove your face into that little donut hole…read moreand expect to see a beautiful little wooden bowl of scented water filled with pink orchid petals like I've had in other expensive massages, you're not going to get it here. I had a Groupon for a $35, 60-minute reflexology massage. Basically half the time is dedicated to a foot massage and the other half is focused on your back. Ten minutes of the 60 minutes is for undressing / dressing. Simple enough. I was told in advance that my LMT would be a male, which didn't bother me at all. Blair was very nice, respectful and did a very nice job. All in all, worth the $35 for an hour's worth of relaxation was spot on.

You enter down a long slim hallway. There's a bench outside of the rooms. My therapist was ready when I arrived. I don't remember my therapists name but she did a basic Swedish massage. It was good. Not great. Not awful.Sometimes I feel like using a Groupon diminishes the level of service received. Here are some qualities of a really good massage therapist who is truly caring and passionate about wellness. None of this happened during my appointment 1) Even though you fill out that form they ask you what kind of pressure you like. 2) They ask if you have any particular areas of tightness or discomfort 3) They check on pressure during the massage (a couple of times she asked How is it?) 4) You can tell they've found a knot and are focusing on it a bit 5) When done you feel like jelly 6) When you exit the room they offer water or stress the importance of drinking lots of water to flush the system 7) They tell you about any areas of tightness they found and how regular appointments or a deep tissue could resolve it. I also had an issue with the Walmart candles. Most wellness professionals understand the toxins in those candles and use soy candles. Will I be back. No. There are better choices.

I have chronic back, shoulder and hip pain and he did a great job helping relieve the pain and tension. He was very responsive not just to my verbal feedback during the massage (he checks in a lot about pressure and release) but also just to my body. He did not just jump in and start massaging blindly but really worked at stretching me out and getting a handle on where I had discomfort and tension first. When debating between massage places in the neighborhood, I went here because other places reviewed nearby seemed more the pampering type of massage and I was interested in a healing, body work massage with someone who would really tailor the massage to what I needed. That is exactly what I got. Scheduling was really easy and he was able to fit me in quickly. I highly recommend his services!

I purchased a Groupon for a Shiatsu/Thai massage with Michael Vasta. In all honesty what I was…read morepicturing was not what I experienced, and perhaps that is my fault, but to be fair, I did not get an explanation for what type of massage experience this would be until after I booked the appointment. I do commend Michael for being explicit in the email as to what type of massage this would be and what you would experience during it. I was grateful for that so I knew what to expect and could manage expectations. He does the best he can with the space he has, as he is relegated to a small oversized closet type room in the basement gym of this building. There is a mat on the ground that he works off of which is comfortable enough, but just something to be aware of if you are not nimble to get up and down off of the ground. He seems well trained in his technique, but to be honest, it was not what I was hoping for. He mentioned he gives a lot of pressure, and I just didnt get that out of the experience. There was about 4/5 mins total of stretching, I thought there would be more considering this was an hour deal. I walked out feeling the same as I did when I walked in unfortunately. It was worth a try, and I am certainly glad I did so on a Groupon budget. Overall it was just ok.

Naturally I waited until the last minute to do it so ended up with a Tuesday night appointment at 8. I love the online scheduling system. It was nice to be able to just pull up a calendar and see what was available. The massage room was in the gym, but they have done a good job of keeping out the extraneous noise. Michael's massage technique is shiatsu. I was clothed, and he spent much of his time on my back, and also did some great stretches for my legs. I'm an athlete that is horrible about stretching so I definitely thought that part was beneficial. He was very professional, and I felt pretty relaxed during the whole experience. I don't get massages that often, but I would definitely consider going back.
