Had an amazing prenatal massage by Toni today. First time trying Element and can not recommend enough! Clean, relaxing atmosphere, very friendly and helpful front desk staff and good prices & services with many options & therapists. Toni was amazing, she listened to my focus areas and did an amazing job with everything. I have had many massages and can be quite picky, I am very happy I have found my new go to here at element and my therapist Toni! read more

Elements Massage - Massage Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

While a good strong massage from Krystal I was very disappointed that she was sniffling and coughing during the entire massage and I ended up with a bad case of COVID. read more

When I called to schedule an appointment I liked how the receptionist gave me details on the available massage therapists for my requested day. She advised me that one was more relaxing in her technique while the other specialized in a more methodical approach. I chose the latter because she said she also had Thai-massage training/expertise. This was originally going to be a one star review, based on my experience with that first masseuse. I will not say her name, but none of the other reviews mention this person, so maybe just request one of the names you find with kind regards in the reviews and you'll be safe. I knew off the bat that this wasn't going to go well. First of all, my fault for assuming... I won't expand on that. But this kid put all her weight on me and I felt nothing, but heard her bones/joints cracking every time she tried to apply pressure. She had no consistency in her technique and it lacked fluidity. Her hands were off me half the time so there was a major disconnect there. The one or two times that she was doing good in an area she'd stop after a 2 or 4-count (yep, I had started to count by this point) and wouldn't follow through or repeat that movement in the adjacent area. It was supposed to be a 90 minute session, but it only lasted 75 minutes, and again, no hands were on me for about half of that time. Then she rushed me as I was getting dressed at the end. I was so annoyed leaving that room! So why is this a 4-star review? 1- Because of the 5-star customer service from the lady at the front desk. She could sense my dissatisfaction and made the effort to make it right. She did not charge me for that session. She offered to put me with another masseuse, who she promised did excellent work. Furthermore, she offered to still allow me to get the new client rate if I rebooked. Great! 2 - I returned a few days later for an hour session with Shay. This woman is phenomenal! The room temperature was perfect. My table warmers were on, just like I love them to be. She asked all the questions to make sure my experience would be top notch. I was so relaxed that I actually fell asleep. My session actually lasted the full hour too. The only thing I'd do different next time is book a longer session with Shay. (My only tiny complaint was that the music volume was a little too high, but I didn't mention it.) I was in such a state of euphoric bliss after that session that I felt like I was floating. (Is this what it feels like to be high??) Also, I slept like a baby that night, and awoke feeling amazing! So yes, it was a complete bust the first go 'round. But these employees and/or management team really know how to de-escalate a situation and turn it around from a one-star experience to a 5-star experience. I would 100% return the next time I'm in CO. read more

See all

Just had an amazing massage with Julio. He was very thorough, checked in with me on pressure, used warming towels...everything was perfect. I feel like I have been woken from the most relaxing nap ever! I will be back! read more

I received a wonderful myofascial/craniosacral treatment from colleague, Grace V, after a knee injury. Grace integrates a beautiful healing presence with many skills, including attunement with both physical and emotional subtlety. During the treatment, fascial twists across multiple joints from several injuries were calmed, as well as layers of subconscious fear connecting those injuries, and integration was facilitated throughout the layers. By the following morning, there was significantly less inflammation in the knee joint, lower leg swelling was resolved, pain was manageable and has steadily improved. This allowed for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Grace's treatment was the turning point from a quickly escalating injury/pain/fear complex to healing, sleeping, walking, working and enjoying life again. I'm very grateful!! read more

I thought Ariel's bodywork was very healing and her energy was very positive and present~ Thank you

Ashley (I think) was great. She is strong and knows how to hit the right spots. Thanks for a great massage.

Karis is easily the best massage therapist I've ever had the privilege of getting a massage from. I've had a couple of massages from her now and she's been able to get knots out of my back that I've had for 15 years. Karis has a special way of making me feel relaxed while being an absolute technician when it comes to relieving stress in the body. The receptionists here are also always very friendly and helpful with booking appointments. read more

If you are an active individual with any muscle tightness, I highly recommend seeing Alpine! I have now seen Alpine twice, and both times he was able to effectively tend to all of my overworked muscle groups. As an avid climber, my back muscles are often pretty taxed. I added cupping to today's treatment session, and the amount of improvement I felt while Alpine worked his magic with the cups was absolutely unreal. If you are a fan of cupping and are looking to benefit greatly from that treatment modality, I cannot recommend Alpine highly enough! read more

Elements has really started to go downhill, frequent cancellations, (Mike is notorious for cancelling at the last minute). Disappointed in this business and will cancel my membership. There are so many other good therapeutic massage businesses, I highly recommend St Julian Spa. read more

Last Christmas, I gave my husband the gift of self-care. In other words, I gave him the gift of a couple's massage, so I could also get a massage. We came here on a Sunday, which in retrospect could be a bit counterproductive if relaxation is your goal. Elements Massage shares a parking lot with Whole Foods, meaning that the parking lot is Madness incarnated on a Sunday afternoon. I would advise coming here on a non-prime grocery shopping day. My pregnancy massage was everything I thought it would be-- relaxing, light pressure and lots of pillows were used to support my body. The husband also enjoyed his massage as well. Scheduling was a breeze. I only called a couple of days in advance to schedule a session, and they were able to find an appointment time for both of us. read more

I had the unfortunate opportunity to talk to the owner regarding a missed appointment due to not knowing what location It was held. I Was never given a confirmation email or call and sadly went to the wrong location. When I attempted to explain the mishap, the owner was extremely contecending, inconsiderate, and LAUGHED AT ME. She severely lacked professionalism and consideration, and in my option, two essentials for owning a business. I personally NEVER want to give my money toward a greedy and disrespectful owner. (imagine how she talks to her staff if that's the way she talks to a customer). read more

The Boulder location is very difficult to book and they seem to have a revolving door of therapists. I finally scheduled an appointment and they changed the time which was fine. They called the next day saying the therapist was sick two days before my appointment was scheduled for with very few options to reschedule. I will not join read more

(ponders) mmmmmmm...(scowl)...now, months after my 1st review on Yelp (which was for Elements), maybe I *am* a shill for Elements as some thought I was back then. I've done 2 "first" reviews for them. I wonder if that'd be good for, say, a 50% off coupon? (eyes owner Kate pointedly :) Hokay. I relocated to NW Broomfield a few weeks ago, and have been in sort of a slump. It's been a combo of work-related personality issues, 6 weekends straight of weather more suited to the Scottish moors than the Denver area, and my car's engine self-destructing dramatically (I kid you not, there's an impressive hole in part of my engine), after my car started running more roughly and my low oil warning light didn't come on -- first time it ever failed -- and I didn't find out until it was too late. So it hasn't been the easiest last 30 days. It will get better. I figured the kindest thing I could do for myself was get a massage, since I've been trying to at least make some nodding concessions towards the physical demands of my body. I call my usual haunt, Elements in "Cherry Creek" (even though it's really more like Elements of Cheesman Park). "Oh I'm sorry! We're all booked up today." Such is life. I call the Arvada location, who I'd heard was hurting for business. "Oh I'm sorry! We're all booked up today." Ooof. Maybe because it was Mom's Day? Maybe. Or maybe lots of people had the same idea I had. Google, Elements, location finder...hmmm, an office in Boulder? Errrrrrrrr...hey *wait a sec*, I'm just down the street from Boulder now practically. *brrrrrrring...brrrrrrrring* "Elements of Boulder, how may I help you?" "Hi! Do you have any openings today?" "Why yes we do, *what time would work best for you?*" (eyes widen, mentally staggers back a foot or 2 and looks bewildered) "You mean I have a *choice*? Ummmmmm...anytime really." "Well, why don't I get you in at 3pm?" "3 would be good. 2 would be a better time. Would that work, or n..." "Yes, that'll work just fine." *boggle* Done and done!!! Hop in my friend's loaner car (yay for good friends) and zoom down to Boulder... Had a heck of a time (for a 5 minute span) finding the place...the address is "30th St" but it is NOT *PHYSICALLY* on 30th St. It's in a little shopette/strip mall there. Between 28th and 30th St, on the N side of Pearl St, with the anchor store being a Whole Foods Market. Go around the corner east, then north -- and there you are. Never let it be said I don't spread around the good karma. :) I get in there...Chris, the receptionist, is a sunny-faced cheery young man who welcomes me warmly. I'm blinking inside my mind and thinking "This does not compute. Why are all the things suddenly going my way today?" Maybe I was due. I give up trying to understand it and just accept. :) I meet Kate, the manager, just before I go into my session, with just as sunny and cheery a disposition as Chris had. I start to note a pattern of graciousness and kindness and positivity welling out of them - *genuinely*. I make note of things like that. Some small talk ensues and I find out the location has just been open a month. Really? I thought I'd seen them listed on Element's website before. But nope, just a month. I then meet my masseuse, Jenny, and yep...sunny, cheery, and wonderful personality. *GOOD DEAL* - I needed a break. :) :) I'm sure I'm getting close to the review limit, but to start wrapping things up, Jenny gives a great massage. She tends to focus more on the gentler side versus deep, but she was able to bring some nice pressure in spots I sorely needed it - she also has a great personality and I bonded with her pretty quickly. She also has a soft touch -- some masseuses do not have that. I can't really put it into words well - for lack of a better descriptive term, you can tell she cares about her clients as well as her work -- some masseuses only care about the work but just want to clock you in and clock you out -- that isn't Jenny. The room was very peaceful with soft music playing just enough to be background and relax you...not overly intrusive. Bed was warm and comfortable to lay on, clean sheets that were in good condition... basically a perfect environment to relax and try and unwind. Kate was great afterwards and chatted with me for about 20-25 minutes, even though I was starting to get very mentally twitchy from low blood sugars. She hooked me up with the names of a chiropractor and another person, and I told her about Yelp -- I *loved* that she instantly scribbled it down like it was important. :) :) The Boulder location just became my default go-to place, not only for the personalities and skill there, but also because the E 6th Ave location is now a 45 min commute for me, driving pretty fast -- and Boulder is only 15 minutes tops. I'm looking forward to going back again in a few weeks! read more

Elements Massage - boulder location - Massage Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I'm a huge fan of Elements Massage Boulder. I've been getting therapeutic massage for over a decade and Elements is by far the highest quality treatment I've received. Although I typically go for deep tissue or sports massage, they have something for everyone. I've worked with multiple therapists at Elements over the past 2 years and they've all been excellent. The price, value, and level of service can't be beat. If you're looking for the best therapeutic massage in Boulder, give Elements a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

I've had plenty of massages in my life. Ok, not great massages, just decent. Crystal takes it to another level! She is someone who can actually work on my warped pst-athletic body. Crystal is the best masseuse I have ever come across. She can find any soreness in my body and males it right. She's very friendly and does the business! Thanks so much Crystal! The best! read more

Mike was absolutely fantastic at Elements. Extremely professional and gave an excellent massage. Highly recommend Mike if you go to Elements. read more

I have used Elements for about 4 months an April has been my massage therapist. Everything has worked wonderful even during Covid-19. April is a great massage therapist. Worked the areas of your body you request at the pressure you request. Would recommend anytime. read more

The massage therapists are great. The space is relaxing. I've been a member for years, but now they NEVER answer the phone and don't call back either! The answering machine says they will call back within the hour but that's not true. What a waste. Prices have increased to $100.00 for 90 minutes and$ 70.00 for an hour at a member rate so it's no longer a good deal and because I can't book an appointment over the phoneand the website is slow , I am canceling my membership. BUT the front desk said I have to use the $ I have on account within a month or I forfeit it! HOW can I use it if I can't get ahold of the front desk??????? How unfortunate that what was a good business has declined so much because the can't fix their phones. Stay away. I've asked for the owner to call Let's see if that happens. read more

They have a bunch of really good therapist that have been there a while which is great. Lori in particular worked on my lower back using something between chiropractic stretches and massage. The end result was the best therapy I have had in years of a chronic back problem. I was truly amazed! If you have something acute she really listened and it showed! read more

This was my first time at Elements and everything was great. The check in was seamless and the front desk person was professional and friendly. The place itself was very calm and inviting. My massage from Fiona was wonderful, so relaxing! She checked in about the pressure, etc. very professional. read more

I've been a member for about a year, and I haven't thought about going anywhere else for massages. I am very very active, and Crystal is amazing with athletes. The massage is always phenomenal, and she always gives me good advice for after care and stretching techniques. The atmosphere is also really nice and they're open late, which is super convenient. read more

My wife Katie and I were at Elements Massage in Boulder yesterday for a couples massage from Jessie and Chelsea. It was freaking awesome. My wife had a Himalayan Salt/Hot Stone massage from Jessie who did and amazing jobs loosening up the tight muscles and Chelsea worked out some very tight knots in my neck and shoulders with her great hands. Thank you ladies! Kelly & Katie read more

On the lady's birthday, she wanted to get a massage. I, having never gotten a professional massage, was curious. The massage was phenomenal! The rooms are super comfortable, and the masseuse I had was able to point out problem areas that I didn't even know that I had. If I were to get a massage again, I would probably go here! read more

My daughter and I went in for massages with Joel and Carla this past weekend. The staff were super friendly, the Covid protocols were appropriate and made us feel safe, and our massage therapists were very skilled and did a great job. What a relaxing way to spend the snow storm! read more

Loved this place! Super nice, super relaxing, I worked with April, she was so good and genuinely wanted to help get my back to feeling good as I work on my feet all day. Really great massage, excellent customer service, when we come back to boulder we will def make another stop here! read more

Firstly, let me say that if I were rating my massage therapist, Mark S, alone it would be 4 stars, but this also includes the facility/business practices. MASSAGE I came in after a 1.5 day tension headache coupled with the usual tight shoulders from climbing. Mark did a great job and without any new agey nonsense (as requested). OTHER They use a non-standard system at 55 and 80 minutes. 55 I can see, 5 min to get ready, but why deduct another 5 from the standard 90 min session? I pulled the rates from six of the massage businesses that came up on Google's local search. The hourly (non-membership) rate for a sports massage ranged from $63 to 89. Elements was $9 an hour more than the nearest competitor. What does that get you? A piece of Dove chocolate and a bottle of water that I had to dump out after it leaked all over my bag before I opened it. Yes, the facility is nice and you can shop at Vitamin Cottage or Whole Foods in the same trip, but I personally can't justify the added cost for location and a piece of mediocre chocolate. read more

My hubby booked me a massage as a Birthday present a while back. The location of this elements Massage is a bit tricky, so you should look it up on a map before heading out. I am more directionally challenged than a regular Jane, but even if you are a Geography ninja, I suggest you look it up. My first massage was nice. I asked for a relaxing massage, and I got one. I booked another one three weeks later. The massage was good but I felt the therapist short changed me on time. she started 5 minutes late and ended 5 minutes early on my massage. I also broke out in some kind of rashes (both the times) after the massage, which the therapist attributed to a nut allergy. I don't have any kind of allergies.. but I agreed to a non oil based massage. And I broke out again. This is the only two times I have had skin rashes after a massage. However I am ready to attribute it to stress factors or whatever ! They also try to upsell you their membership which is why I have them 3 stars. The massages were relaxing.. post massage selling .. not so much. read more

Requested a female therapist when booking over the phone, but was assigned a male therapist. Studio was also pretty cold. Table warmer worked well but the air temperature negated the heat from the table. read more

I visited my local massage therapist on the Monday before my vacation to Colorado. I hadn't been in awhile, and I'm a huge mess biomechanically, so he did the best he could in our usual 80 minute session. When I told him I was heading to Colorado, and asked if there was anything he could recommend he said, "I recommend you get another massage in the next week or so while you're on vacation..." With practically a "doctor's order" to get another massage (who am I to argue?) I looked up locations in Boulder, where we would be visiting. I found Elements via Yelp here, and read Hannah S's review about Glenn. Something about the review made me feel like he would be the right guy to visit. I made an appointment for the 55 minute massage right before leaving for our trip. Glenn was on time, and my massage with him was very relaxing. I made sure to tell him up front the areas that were sensitive on me (piriformis) or of concern (achilles, calves/anterior & posterior tibialis) etc. plus I told him, "Oh and I'm a desk worker, so I 'hunch' like this a lot," as I demonstrated the position to him. 1-2 minutes of chatting and he knew exactly what I needed. The full 55 minutes was done with me face-down, with him dealing with my neck, back, glutes, hamstrings and calves. I was really impressed by Glenn. I don't often feel a "bond" with a therapist on the first visit, because they usually don't get what I need. But Glenn seemed to know immediately, based on my comments at the outset. When he checked in with me on a stroke, and I said it felt a bit like a "hot poker iron" on me, he said, "Yup, that's your piriformis... Just like you said, it's really tender." His constant check-ins with the pressure were helpful and relaxed me greatly. I knew quickly that he would do everything he could to make sure anything I felt wasn't "negative" pain but more of an oh yeah, "scratch an itch" feeling... Glenn also did some "trademark" moves that my local therapist does, which really surprised and impessed me.. I've never had a therapist outside of my local guy, or Glenn, who does assisted psoas stretches, or other assisted maneuvers where they hold/lock certain joints/muscles in place (I'm probably describing it wrong) so they can isolate a stretch or motion. It was wonderful. The front desk was also very helpful. I didn't get any chocolate or epsom salts as mentioned in other posts, but the massage was unbelievably relaxing. And when I went to leave, I offered a hand to Glenn in a formal handshake, but he wanted to 'hug it out' goodbye, which is my preferred method anyway. :-) I think he could sense it. This is a great location (go to Whole Foods for some dim sum afterwards to keep relaxing) with great staff. I highly recommend visiting Elements in Boulder for a great massage. read more

Relaxation. Detoxification. Chocolate. This place has so many things going for it. I went in on a whim when I began to get tension headaches a couple of months ago. This was based solely on the strength of fellow Yelpers, who I think for steering me in the right direction. I did a 55 minute massage with Lindsey who was absolutely incredible. She read my body's responses very well and really spent time on my problem areas. I immediately bought a membership and have been twice since, and it's always a really wonderful experience. Their membership deal is terrific and I am always greeted warmly and treated with respect. I quite like their waiting area, it's nice to curl up with some Yogi tea and a book if I arrive early - honestly, I've made a point to do so from time to time! Since coming here I've had much less neck and pectoral tension, the headaches have stopped, and overall I feel just terrific. Lindsey gave me a couple sheets of stretches I can do at home and in the office which have helped as well. They really do go the extra mile and have a great interest in personal health and wellness. But I'm easy to please - the biggest litmus test for me was my husband. He's very open about homeopathy but skeptical on massages. I shared one of my monthly massages with him and he came out raving. This from a man who will eat an amazing dinner and say "Yeah, it's okay" and I know that is a lofty compliment. The man used the word "awesome." I've now convinced him to buy a monthly membership as well. The massages have helped discharge a lot of the lactic acid built up in his system and he sleeps much better. Go here. Bottom line. Do it. read more

I treated myself to a 110 minute massage today. (I really needed it + Elements Massage made my session extremely affordable with their Dec. 4th Open House gift card specials.) This was my third massage at Elements with three different Massage Therapists. I am very pleased to share that all three sessions have been very enjoyable. Dana massaged me today. One of the greatest qualities about her massage style is that she is an exceptional listener! She listens very well with her ears and even better with her hands. This gives her the ability to provide extremely therapeutic techniques that address the needs of the body. I feel 150X better than when I entered the session. I am very grateful to Dana and to Elements Therapeutic Massage! read more

Aaaahhhhhh....... is all I have to say. Except for that there is more to say or it wouldn't be a very good review. You need to know why that is all I want to say after spending almost two hours at Elements Massage. Let me start with the fact that I am a massage therapist so I've had my fair share of both good and bad massages. Since I'm back in school I rarely treat myself to a massage, this one was a birthday gift from my boyfriend. A massage should be all about you from beginning to end and I certainly felt well taken care of from the moment I called to make the appointment to the moment I left. Everyone was so genuinely friendly. It was so refreshing. Even the person who made my appointment for me took the time to introduce himself to me after my massage. Who, by the way, took the time to hear my needs and set me up with the perfect therapist for them. Skye is awesome! I also left with a bottle of water, some Epsom salts for a bath when I got home and the number of a ND which I have also been looking for. I'm always scared to try a new place because I feel that it's a huge gamble on a students salary. Thankfully I don't have to make that bet anymore. I really can't say enough about this place. No detail was overlooked and I can't wait to go back! read more

I never would have planned to have a membership at any massage establishment but Elements makes it worth it. I, and everyone I know, have had only amazing massages there. I find it quite stressful getting a massage and not knowing if they'll do a good job and use the amount of pressure I would like. If you're not a member then the massages are a bit pricey but obviously they want people to be members and that's not an inappropriate business model when you're offering such great service! The "membership" price is a good value. You can transfer unused massages or purchase more and cancel whenever you'd like, so there's really no risk in membership. My physical and emotional wellness have improved now that I'm "treating" myself to a monthly massage. read more

Because of my unpredictable lifestyle I love being able to call the day of and usually get an appointment. If you get a chance to receive a massage from Glenn, it comes highly recommended, especially if you are an athlete or are a fan of deep tissue massage. I've worked with countless massage therapists, and Glen is as good as it gets. read more

I absolutely love the massage therapist, Ron. After trying several people, almost canceling membership, I tried Ron and truly was great. He has a great understanding of the body and confidence in maneuvering it. Listens well to my needs and very calming, making me feel very comfortable. I also Appreciate the hours of operation of the business, can get a massage as late as 8pm as well as 90min or 120min massages. The rooms are nice, dark, simple and cozy. Although Walls are thin and sometimes can hear people I hallways. Other perks, Often can call day of to get a massage; sometimes they have random discounts and as part of membership can save 30$ per massage. read more

Daniel is absolutely fantastic! I have some minor back issues that Daniel has done a great job at helping me sort out. I am a major wuss who still wants to enjoy her massage, and he is able to help me with my problem areas without making for a painful massage and still allowing me to feel relaxed afterwards. My boyfriend also has some back problems (and he's much less of a wuss than myself) and he also says that Daniel has mad a big difference. Everyone at Elements is always professional and the facilities are clean and calming. We have the membership which is great and allows you to get a 55 min massage for $60. Love this place! read more

I have only been here twice, but both times were great and I left feeling amazing. First off, I walked in yesterday morning and the woman at the front desk was incredibly nice and accommodating. I asked to get in asap and she told me it would only be an hour until they could take me. I made the appointment, ran some errands across the street and came back for my massage with Ron. Trust me, Ron is your man. I told him I'd been working in front of my computer nonstop for the last two weeks and I was feeling it. He knew exactly what to focus on, and had a comprehensive understanding of which muscles were connected to which. He identified two big trouble spots in my upper back, and worked on those until I felt relief. I left feeling a little beat up, but more relaxed, fluid, and like I was standing an inch taller - exactly what you want to feel after a therapeutic massage. A day later my body feels so much better, and I'm seriously considering a membership for regular appointments with Ron. My one critique of Elements is that the music is pretty awful, and I think they could benefit from some scented candles to accomplish more of that soothing spa vibe. Otherwise, this place is super convenient, professional, and a great value - especially with the membership. Go! read more

I just can't say enough about Elements Massage. I've been a client here for many years, and, no matter which therapist I have seen, I've received excellent care and attention. The staff are also so friendly and welcoming every time. Plus, especially with the membership, it's one of the most affordable massages in town. Forget Massage Envy--Elements is where you need to be if you're looking for quality bodywork. read more

I've been a member for a year and sometimes get two massages in a month. The membership is perfect if you're like me - and enjoy the benefits of frequent massage. Elements has several massage therapists that will do deep-tissue massage which is the only type of massage that works for me. The location is convenient and the lobby, bathroom, and rooms are soothing and inviting. All of the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door. I also love how you can make your reservations on line - it's not required of course, but very convenient. Great place to get a massage! read more
