Made an appointment in the week for Friday evening with JP. Thankfully this is walking distance so got there in plenty of time. The door maybe locked if they are all with clients. The entry is serene with white noise machines on the doors to keep what's behind them nice and relaxed. The lobby had several things to look at while waiting. Once JP finished the session before, the table linens were changed and I was brought in to review what needed attention. Since I was there specifically for my left shoulder, that was the focus. I did a 30 minutes session which went by wayyy too quick. JP did a great job of going slow to not cause any discomfort and asked how the pressure was along the way. Talk about relaxing! I'm intrigued to see how the area feels after a nights rest as I've been dealing with the issue for several months. Despite doing PT, there's was something not quite getting to the exact location of he tension. I could feel the areas I've been missing with trigger point in myself being addressed during the massage. Talk about a win! The cost wasn't too bad, $65 for 30 and I will do an hour next round to do a full body massage. The venue was quaint and quite perfect for relaxation. read more

Rating: 4.6/5 Upon arrival, we filled out a short form before being taken to our rooms. I had Kenia, and my husband had Liz. We both enjoyed our massages and plan to switch therapists next time to experience the other's technique. That said, our rooms were noticeably different. Mine was smaller and more basic, while my husband's was larger and more thoughtfully decorated, which impacted the overall experience a bit. The music in my room was also unexpected--chill R&B instead of the usual nature sounds or soft piano, which I typically prefer. Kenia had a great flow to her movements and was really in tune with my body. She worked out all my knots and even found tight spots in my glutes. Afterward, I had a cup of water waiting for me at the front which I appreciated. read more

i've been going to Form + Function for years, and it's always been a great experience. more recently i've been seeing Chris A and he has been incredible! can't recommend him enough! read more

This is a great place for a massage tailored to sports soreness and injuries as well. Ry is great and leaves you feeling much improved. Other therapists are great as well. My go-to place in Austin. read more

Booked a last minute 90 minute massage with Ry yesterday. Great experience. I parked right out front, arrived a few minutes early (which is good because you do have to fill out a waiver on the 1st visit. F+F please digitize this part! It's 2025!) Ry is skilled at his craft. Excellent massage. Relaxing and healing. He dug in deeper in exactly the right spots to address right hips and lower back pain. I'll definitely be back. read more

Chris is what makes this place outstanding. Truthfully, I had visited before and was slightly disappointed in the mediocre work. I was in desperate need of a massage one day and so I decided to give it another try and I was randomly paired with Chris. This was the pivotal point in my decision making in continuing to return to Form and Function. Chris is exceptional with his work and goes above and beyond with his extensive knowledge. I have recommended everyone I know to go to him and I regularly go to him. His work is unlike any other massage therapist I've ever been to and the results are long lasting. Overall -- life changing! If you're seeking a therapist in Austin, he's the one to choose. read more

Absolutely Incredible -- A Last-Minute Gift to Myself I booked this massage same-day, totally last minute, and I'm so grateful I did. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. The space was calming and clean, and the energy was grounding -- exactly what I needed after a long week. The massage itself was incredible. Every knot, every area I didn't even realize was tense, was given such thoughtful attention. It wasn't just relaxing -- it felt deeply healing. I left feeling lighter, looser, and more connected to my body than I've felt in a long time. This wasn't just a service -- it felt like a gift. I will absolutely be back, and I'd recommend this place to anyone needing real care, not just a routine massage. Truly one of the best I've had. THANK JD! read more

Stacy is an absolute professional and provides a consistently great service every single time. She listens, is easy to talk to, and always stays engaged during my session. She has been my go to for years and continues to remind me why I go back. 10/10 could not recommend enough! read more

I had the best massage of my life with Chia. I asked for a relaxing massage and that's what I got. She was amazing.

I got a gift card to F+F and have been returning since. Chia is a wizard; every session is unique and focused on the needs you discuss with her. read more

This was my first time at F&F and it was incredible. I was able to get a same day appt and the prices were comparable to other business. Establishment was clean and felt calming. I got a 2 hr massage with Nathan and OMG he was awesome. He listened to my concerns and immediately got working on my troubled spots. He also did specific things that I have never had done in my 25 years of getting massages that actually got deep into the neck/shoulders. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning. read more

In 2024, I had a horrible injury to my levator scapulae where nothing but time could heal. This took weeks. I couldn't even turn my head to look at someone, I had to turn my whole body. All I could do was go on walks hunched over - taking this long of a break from the gym was horrible. Fast forward to February of 2025, I have been dealing with a lesser version of this injury after sleeping on it wrong (do NOT sleep on your stomach, FYI). I was recommended Form Function by a friend from work, so I decided to schedule a 90 minute session. I had Nathan, who has 21 years of experience. The first 30 minutes were spent on my levator, while the rest of the time was focused on my sciatic and the rest of the body. Nathan dug deep. A pain that hurts so good, a pain I knew I needed if I was to speed up the recovery process. Nathan was nice and very professional. He didn't talk much, but when he did it was insightful wisdom based off a comment I made. The next day (today) I decided to hit shoulders at the gym. This was foolish, but I don't always make the best decisions. I got through my workout without any injury, and feel completely fine when turning my head at any angle. I've only had a few professional massages in my life, but this one was the best. Thank you Nathan. Highly recommend a session to those on the fence. read more

This is my favorite massage place in Austin. Ask for Philip. He is phenomenal! Not only does he alleviate pain, but he also gives you tips to prevent it in the future. read more

Had to come out of my Yelp hiatus for this one. Wow wow wow! Rissa knocked my 60min full body massage out the water. We started by discussing my specific needs and with very minimal explanation, she was able to tackle all my problem areas. We went deep tissue around the neck/shoulder and beautifully relaxing everywhere else. It was super heavenly, my only regret is not booking a longer timeframe. Thanks Rissa!!! read more

Form + Function Massage - Clean and cozy rooms. - Massage Therapy Near Me - Austin, Texas

If you're on the fence between this place and another, DEFINITELY choose Form + Function. I'm new to Austin I've tried a few different spas and therapists, but I have to say Form + Function is the best by far. So happy to have found them. I've worked first with Kenya who is a rockstar, impressively knowledgeable with a set of magic hands! Then, I recently worked with Liz who also possesses magic hands! I have lots of tension around my neck and piriformis / sciatica, so I add on the cupping and heating pads. After the soreness goes away, I feel totally renewed and like I regained about 70-80% of mobility. It's such a powerful experience, and at the same time it's so grounded and straight forward body work. The place itself is simple, cute and relaxing. No extra fluff, pretense and the extra fancy stuff to embellish it (and add to your bill). read more

One of the best massages I've ever had in my life. I booked with Alison S via the app (was super easy to book). I was running a bit late and feeling flustered. As soon as I arrived at the studio, I was greeted by a comforting energy. The place is cozy. Feels like home. And everyone I saw had a warm smile on. The massage itself was perfect. We focused on my shoulders due to an old injury that I was nursing. I had no idea that massages could be so functional. This wasn't your standard relaxing massage, we went deep and released a TON of tension. I almost fell asleep on the table at the end of the session. I loved every second of this massage and can't wait for the next one :) read more

My YELP! This place has come a long way. Def better than it was when it first tried it. SMILE! - 1st impressions ;) I visited here back in 19'. Def a lackluster experience back then. Has improved a lot - especially the therapists. HEY DID THEY HELP YOU ALRIGHT?! They offer a fair price for a massage. Therapists are usually always booked so they must be doing something right! WERE THEY NICE Everyone is very friendly for sure. HOW WAS THE FOOD or SERVICE?! I've had the opportunity to try half of the therapists here. Lots of thumbs up, one meh, and one OMG. The newest one is ok, needs a better routine and more experience, but they're new in the industry so I get it. The rest of the therapists are decent. If you need a regular massage thumbs up. However deep tissue seems to miss the mark a bit if you're really looking for that sports style deep tissue massage. Everyone's nice and does a good job, but again if you're after or are used to a deep sport style related massage, most of them are not 100% the best... except one person: Rissa. Now I'm not saying they have bad therapist here, everyone has a lot of experience. There's some serious veterans here! I'm just speaking to the specific type of massage that I go after. Yet - the therapist named Rissa - wow. After 20 years of getting body work done, in five different states and eight cities... Rissa is top-five hands down. Unbelievable talent and skill. Passion for the industry. And does a stellar job. Value for money: Fair industry rate and not too overpriced like some "spas" these days. I still go here ;) Final thoughts: Staff is friendly and nice Appointment booking is simple Sometimes people don't answer the phone because therapists tend to man it since they push for online interaction Youngblood is a newb but nice All the therapist (-1) have good experience RISSA IS THE BOMB.COM read more

I just got a massage out of town as part of an event which just reinforced what a phenomenal massage Liz provides at Form + Function. She is so personal and intuitive with a way of finding knots and tension I didn't even know I had. While I had often avoided deep tissue, she has a fluid method while adapting to my squirming and noises, slowly building into more intense pressures without any discomfort. I found myself daydreaming about Liz and her top notch massages during today's session. The studio/staff are clean, professional, with little niceties to elevate the experience. Cannot recommend enough. read more

Easy options to book. Had a great experience with Stacy. Cute atmosphere. They open the door right before your appointment. read more

Alison Sifuentes was my masseuse and she was GREAT! She was able to get deep into my knotted shoulders & back without getting tired. Some ppl in the past have gassed out before my hour was up but not Alison. Also, she was able to get deep into my neck/shoulder area with techniques I've never experienced previously. Schedule her for your next appointment, you won't regret it! read more

One of the best functional massage spots in Austin. It'll cure what ails you! Anytime I'm having a real issue with muscular pain or fatigue I schedule an appointment and feel much better when I walk out. read more

I had the best massage of my life yesterday. it was recommended to me by two different friends and I wish I had come sooner. I cannot say enough great words about how great I felt afterwards. I felt cared for, listened to, and the pressure was perfect. It was clean, staff is friendly, but the care of service is unmatched. I cannot wait to go back!! read more

I have seen Chris Amaral every two weeks for 1.5 yrs now. He's changed my life very literally and he is one of the best in Austin. He takes a functional long term healing approach with myofascial work and I have gotten stronger in my workouts as well as healed issues I had since I was a kid. Chris is a wonderful person on top of that and very much is an integral part of my personal community now. Thank you Chris and F+F for providing such great care. read more

Stacy is LITERALLY the best massage therapist I've ever had! It's really hard for me to get comfortable in a massage, and typically, I have a hard time trusting the person who is working on me. But since working with Stacy, I am able to trust her and reach full relaxation. She has really helped me so much with my chronic pain. 10 out of 10 recommend booking with her. If you're booking with anyone else, you are missing out!!!!! read more

I've tried many places to try to manage my neck and shoulder pain, and no place does it like Form and Function. The precise NMT and trigger point therapy they use REALLY works. It has always been difficult to find someone who uses actual intense pressure, but here they do! They go above and beyond by sharing stretching techniques and upper body workout ideas, as well recommending books on how to manage chronic pain. Staff is extremely friendly, the space is clean and calming, and this is overall the best massage in Austin! read more

Made a blind appointment with some pretty bad back spasms and lined up with Chia. I get massages all over the world and this was arguably the best 90 minute massage I've had. The variety and attention to detail was perfect for what I needed. My back was super sensitive and she was very careful and aware. I'll definitely be back to this spot and would highly recommend. read more

I have been going to form + function for a while now. I have enjoyed each masseuse I've had - I typically chose based on time and date. The location is convenient, the pricing is affordable and the hours / length of service offer a variety for everyone. read more

I loved this place so much I ended up booking my second appointment for the following week! I did 30 minutes on my first massage and an hour on my second. Felt like a new person every time I walked out of the door. Katie is phenomenal. My advice is to just hurry and treat yourself, you'll love them! read more

Form + Function Massage - Massage Therapy Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is an excellent clinic. So lucky it's down the street. I've seen many therapists here and all of them are awesome. I tend to schedule with Rissa most because she has ungodly strength and just really knows how to work on my tight calf injuries. Very much enjoy this place. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic, each therapist here is incredibly talented. I highly recommend Rissa, she has a very unique massage style and takes her time to listen to your body and target any and all knots. I always feel like a new person after a session with her. read more

As someone who works out like a man throwing weight to look like Zues every now and then I do some not so smart things. One of the smartest decisions was going and getting a massage from Rissa. Not only did she help me recover from a nagging shoulder/rotator cuff thing she was tender and helped me rebuild myself. She is intuitive and it was as if my body was speaking to her saying get me right here please. She was kind, I felt old knots and tight spots be broken up and sometimes emotions came up from random points in life. If you want the real deal and let go of emotions, body aches or just want to feel REAL GOOD head over with Rissa. It's like having a wonderful feast I didn't know I needed but am stoked I chose. I have always felt better in mind, body and spirit after. Be open, be willing and above all surrender. She is safe and a gift. Truly a pleasure read more

Rissa gave me the best sports massage of my life. She spent extra time on areas I was concerned about and pointed out weak muscle areas I could potentially benefit from strengthening. She was communicative about pressure and comfort level and all around super friendly. Clearly passionate about massage, Rissa went above and beyond by following up after researching potential causes of tension. I will definitely be returning to Rissa. read more

I was in rough shape before visiting Form + Function. Alison provided a wonderful massage and really was able to heal me. It was intense but I am feeling 100% better. The environment is very soothing as well. I will definitely be returning for another visit. read more

If you are like me who was desperately googling places that actually address pain as opposed to being just relaxing, this is it. I've had excellent experiences with Katie, Stacy and Christopher. (I only switched around because of my schedule) Most recently I worked with Christopher who immediately and confidently knew what to do to address my TMJ pain. I felt relief even before the session ended AND he was just such a warm, kind spirit who made me feel so safe and comfortable! I can not recommend him and F+F enough. read more

I've been seeing Katie several months now for recurrent neck pain and she has been wonderful. I did 30 minute appointments at first, then went to an hour because it was so helpful to my overall wellness and improved state of mind. I've seen other massage therapists for the same problem, but I find Katie to be much more comprehensive in her treatment, that is, focusing not only on where my specific neck pain is, but working on other areas that may contribute to my pain such as my head and shoulder areas. Using heat and pressure, she locates the numerous kinks and knots in my upper torso and one by one helps them to settle down. I'm sure Katie can do it all, but her specialty is working with people who have intractable pain and stiffness in their neck and lower back. I have gotten to know her a little on a personal level. She has a huge heart and an innate kindness that again, I've not experienced with other therapists. I would describe her not just as a massage therapist but a care giver. I cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

Unfortunately I can't remember the girl's name who gave me a massage, but she was very receptive, she did a great job, wasn't talkative and let me relax (I think we've all come across those chatty types). She was very friendly & I would be happy to hire her in the future. read more

I found this place out of convenience. Always easy to get an appointment day of or the next day. I've had massages with several therapist and they were all very knowledgeable and qualified. Two therapists really stand out for me. Rissa and Chris A. I have been a massage therapist for over 20 years, and rarely does a therapist really blow me away. Rissa is incredibly intuitive and goes deep. Chris A. is one of the smartest and skilled therapist I have ever met! The office is simple, clean and lovely. Parking is always easy. Plan a little extra time around rush hour as 6th tends to bottle neck @ that time. Highly recommend. read more

I've been getting massages from Stacy Newkirk for about two years now. I'm a runner, and I run 6 days per week, so my legs get pretty beat up. But Stacy has fixed me up every single time! Every appointment, she takes the time to ask me about any particular concerns I want her to focus on, and then during the massage, I can really feel her focusing on those problem areas. She ends every massage with the most heavenly scalp massage. I am so thankful to have found Form + Function and Stacy!! read more

Another great massage with Rissa today! This was my third one, and I have noticeable improvement in movement and blood flow. I have the two-hour, full-body massage, and it is wonderful! Rissa is very intuitive about just where I can use extra pressure, and before she applies it, she checks in with me to see if it's OK. She also checks in periodically to see how I'm doing and if anything hurts. As I tell her, it doesn't tickle, but I can take the extra pressure because I am feeling the results. In addition to Rissa's great skills, the environment is quite soothing, with relaxing music and low lighting. Cleanliness is important to me, and I have to say, the place is spotless! I am so looking forward to my next massage with Rissa! BTW, I mentioned my experience to my neighbor, who has now become one of Rissa's clients as well. read more

I've been going here for a few months now and although I've tried other spots, I keep going back here. Liz (Elizabeth on the website) is amazing!! She always does exactly what I need and applies the appropriate amount of pressure to each spot. I strength train and run every week and stretch regularly but seeing Liz once a month has been the most helpful. I always leave feeling like my muscles are relaxed and my overall body renewed. read more
