I have tried a lot of different massage places, and Angel Massage was one of (if not THE) best…read moremassage I've had. As an athlete, I am always asking for harder pressure and to work on problem areas, but most places do not deliver. At Angel Massage, James is very strong! I requested hard pressure and he did a fantastic job. The massage was still relaxing, and the calming music and massage oil scents were particularly inviting. The staff is super kind, and you feel very comfortable when you step through the door. I've tried some of the fancier spas in/outside of Gainesville, but none can massage as well as James at Angel!

I'm writing this review on behalf of my husband who has been to Ron twice now!…read more Previously, we previously went to Eric for our first few years at Compass Point. Eric moved away though and we needed to re-establish with someone which is when we found Ron! From the first few minutes getting acquainted and discussing the goals of massage, my husband and I knew we Ron was going to be awesome! I can't say enough wonderful things about his massage techniques, willingness to tailor massage to your individual needs, along with his continued compassionate nature to check-in for pressure and position comfort. He also has availability on the weekends and late afternoons/ evening which are HUGE perks for those who work traditional workdays. Pricing is more than reasonable for the services and quality he provides! If you are looking for a super massage therapist, please give him a try! I'm sure you will not be disappointed!

Ron is an absolute life saver! So thankful that Ron was able to squeeze me in last minute and give…read moreme some much needed relief from the tension/strain in my neck and back while studying for my final exams. The facility was clean and he was very professional. I will definitely be back!! I highly recommend Ron as he as a background in PT and knowledgeable about different massage techniques. He spent a few minutes in the beginning chatting with me about what was bothering me/what I wanted to focus on and we came up with a treatment plan.

I booked a 75 minute massage for 4:30 but wasn't called into the room until about 4:45, and the…read moremassage didn't start until 4:50. It ended around 5:50, so I didn't receive the full time I paid for. The location also wasn't ideal during the massage, I heard two loud car alarms and an ambulance right outside the window, which made it hard to relax. While the masseuse was kind, the massage itself wasn't what I was looking for. I booked a lymphatic drainage massage but received more of a light, general massage with little pressure or technique. Considering the price (plus the generous tip I left), I was really disappointed overall. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return.

Competent therapists, friendly and helpful front desk staff, but I won't be returning. I've been…read morehere 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.

So, I go here pretty often and it's always a struggle. The main issue is communication. It's…read moredifficult to convey to the massage therapists what you want and there are often misunderstandings as no one speaks English well. Today, I came in and they were full. I asked how long until I could get a foot massage. The person at the desk held up a timer saying 20 minutes. I asked if I should sign in on a sheet or anything and they said no: I pointed to a chair right outside and said I'd be sitting there. I set a timer and came back in when it went off. They acted as though they had never seen me and started service on 3 new people. Why did they tell me yo come back in 20 minutes if I'd need to wait an additional "who knows how long" to get served? I told them that they had just told me to come back in 20 minutes and they all looked at each other, speaking only in their language, and ignored me. They just lost a regular.

I've been seeing John almost weekly for a couple of months - my back and legs are really screwed…read moreup, from 7 decades of untreated scoliosis. John is highly professional, immensely patient and very high skilled. I trust him implicitly. We are working mainly with deep tissue massage, and he really digs in. My problem is structural, and I'm not looking for miracles (the neurosurgeons have just shrugged and said not much can be done) - but I am convinced my body is making progress with John. I look forward to the day when I can just book a relaxation massage! John's office is easy to get to; has a private parking lot. You walk in, and are greeted by gentle music, comfortable chairs, chilled water to drink, and a soothing aquarium to while away your waiting time. I've never waited more than 5 minutes past my appointment time, but I like to get there early and chill for a while. One of the cool things about working with John is that you can book your appointments on line, and you can also purchase 10-packs at a significant discount. He is extremely busy, so I recommend making your appointments as far ahead as you can.

The facility is clean and it's easy to make an appointment online. I've been there several times…read moreand have seen a couple of therapists. The quality of the massages vary wildly depending on who is performing them. During a recent massage, the therapist, Dorothy, farted audibly for at least the first ten minutes which was really rude and off putting. Additionally the therapists do not wear shoes. Given that clients are wearing footwear and coming and going to and from the parking lot, lobby, restrooms and the massage rooms, this gave me serious ick as the therapists must have seriously dirty feet by the end of the day. Not planning on going back.

I've been coming to A Better Massage for a while now and feel that the four different massage…read moretherapists I've seen have all done a wonderful job. The therapists have always been on time, had the room cleanly prepared, and discussed what areas have been causing me discomfort before the massage. When I first started coming here it was for deep tissue work (years of desk slouching = pain in the neck). When getting the work done you are able to let the therapist know how if you need more or less pressure. I recently had some surgery and I've had massages that really helped reduce my post surgical pain. If you're looking for a place that can focus on therapeutic massages this is the place I'd recommend.
