My spine doctor suggested I get back on track with getting massages so I did some research and found Bull City Massage Therapy offered a massage called Myofascial Release. After reading the description of what it entailed, it sounded perfect for me. The Myofascial Release massage involves applying gentle, sustained pressure into myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. I easily booked a 60 minute session with Nina online through their app Vagaro. Nina was great and spent the whole 60 minutes massaging the pain area I requested. It was so nice to hear a crack of where the knot has been hurting me. While the pain is not completely gone (I'm not expecting a one session miracle), I was very happy with how I felt afterwards. Like my doctor, Nina also recommended that I keep up with this type of massage to truly help mitigate my pain. Bull City is located in the lower level of a building in downtown Durham. The business was very cozy with warm lighting. I went on a Saturday for my appointment and Bull City said I could park at the lot next to their building (because it was a weekend), but I was slightly nervous from all the tow signs even though the front desk employee assured me it was fine. I opted to park at the Church St. Parking Garage. It was a 5 minute walk and free when I was there. Please note that there is no guarantee it will always be free if downtown Durham has events on weekends. All in all, I'd go here again - especially for a Myofascial Release massage!

If you like deep tissue, acupressure, and a really grounding massage, this is the spot. If you've never tried ashiatsu, do it. What these folks do with their feet is amazing and I think it feels soooo much better than a massage with hands (broader, deeper pressure). I work at a desk and my neck, shoulders, back, and hips pay the price, so I see Jes monthly to work things out. She is so creative and changes her approach every visit, so it never feels like the same old thing. Plus, her head/face massages are her secret gems! She always listens to me and focuses on what I want, adds heat, has great music, and a calm manner. I truly can't get regular massages elsewhere anymore, Bull City Soles spoils me! Plus it's a great value for this amazing treatment.

Julie changed my life. :) I've suffered from chronic migraines for years & tried so many different…read morethings (including a different Rolfer) but nothing worked. By my second Rolfing session with Julie, my headaches went away completely. I had not felt relief in so long. I've continued to see her when I hit a rough patch & it always helps. It's been about a year & my chronic migraines have not returned. She's helped me address other issues & ailments, always patient & caring. She's also referred me to other types of practitioners when she feels I might benefit from a different type of care. This type of honesty is deeply appreciated, & I really feel like her commitment lies in making sure her clients heal. My husband has also loved working with Julie. The space is really nice, too. Lastly - bc I wish people talked about this more - as can often happen with bodywork, there was one session where some past trauma surfaced for me unexpectedly. In those scenarios, I have often felt ashamed & embarrassed by my reactions bc they often come flying out of nowhere & can be difficult to control. Not all practitioners I've worked with seem prepared for this or able to offer trauma-informed care, but Julie's calm & gentle presence in this moment made me feel extremely safe, respected, & seen in my moment of vulnerability. I appreciated it greatly. In closing...highly recommend!!

My usual complaint about massage therapists is that they don't apply enough pressure. This is not the case for Nikki. She always applies the perfect therapeutic amount of pressure, and I always feel like I'm walking on clouds after her massages. If you're looking to try a new massage therapist, give Fuzion a try. You won't be let down, and you won't look at other massage therapists the same way afterwards. And if you haven't tried it, ask for the hot stone therapy. It's the icing on the cake!

I felt extremely comfortable getting a massage there, especially with the current pandemic. It was a major concern of mine, but the precautions taken by Fuzion are quite impressive.

She agreed and changed her schedule to accommodate them. When she arrived, she was told the therapist would be male. She politely explained that she was not comfortable receiving a massage from an unfamiliar male therapist and asked whether there was any alternative. The manager was extremely dismissive and rude and made essentially no effort to find a reasonable solution. What bothered us most was not simply the ClassPass policy--it was the way my wife was treated when she expressed a very personal and reasonable boundary. Instead of showing understanding, the manager repeatedly blamed ClassPass and made her feel like she was the problem. For a business offering such a personal service, professionalism, empathy, and respect for a client's comfort should be basic expectations. Based on how this was handled, I cannot recommend this place.
