I have suffered from back and neck pain for most of my life. I get massages here and there, and always enjoy the heck out of them, but have never prioritized regular services. Well that has all changed with Kneaded Energy. I decided this was going to be the year I was gonna focus on self care and stop living with discomfort. This locally and family owned massage therapy business is near my house and had some amazing Black Friday deals including discounted rates for a yearly package of 10 one hour massages. I decided this was time to jump in. Their packages are great and extremely flexible. Your purchase can be put on file and you can redeem as you come for yourself as you wish. You can also give one as the gift of massage for someone else. You can split a massage up like taking one of the 60 minutes and turn into two 30 minute visits, or add with a 60 and make it a 90 minute instead for some extra relaxation. I've done this a few times and now I want a 90 minute yearly package next! I have been seeing Daniel monthly since November and am absolutely feeling an improvement. I have less tightness and knots in my neck and back that I always knew regular massage therapy would help. He is extremely polite and regularly checks in to make sure the pressure is right when working on a tough area ( I am not always the best about speaking up). When he works my back with his whole arm and elbows, it feels great. In addition to focusing on the areas that need the work, he always tries to also provide attention, even if brief, to the full body for some relaxation. It is without fail that when he does the head massage while I'm on my back, that I am falling asleep on that table. My brain is regularly in overdrive so having this monthly massage and allowing myself to just let go and relax and heal is worth every penny and more. The length of service you buy is what you will get, including change time. Their rooms are comfortable, with soft lights and music for ambiance as well as the optional heated bed. They will also add aromatherapy to the head cradle if you'd like, I always go eucalyptus. So, if you have been thinking about trying a new massage place and want to support local businesses like we all should, I highly suggest Kneaded Therapy for yourself or getting a gift certificate for someone you love. You deserve it. read more

I couldn't recommend this place more! I have had such a wonderful experience the past two times. The professional of the staff is what every company needs. The rooms as aesthetically pleasing and relaxing.I got a massage by Jo, I explained my areas that were bothering me and she ensure the pressure was good. After my first massage I decided to get a year membership that they have. Best decision I could have made for my body and mind. Definitely check this place out and ask for Jo!! Also forgot to mention their booking process is easy, you can call or book online! Finally, they accept HSA!! read more

Finding a massage therapist can be tough: I've been searching for years. But I can FINALLY say I've found the perfect fit at Kneaded Energy with DANIEL. His skill level is incredible, and his personalized approach truly sets him apart. It's clear his goal is to make sure you leave feeling real relief. There honestly aren't enough words to describe his talent and outstanding customer service. Safe to say, I've FINALLY found my go-to therapist with DANIEL!! read more

Mother's Day massage canceled by therapist last minute, no replacement therapist offered, no discount offered on another appt., no response from management. Super disappointing. read more

My friend treated us to two 90 minute massages. She said her person was good, but after asking my guy 4-5 times in the first hour to please do deep tissue, I gave up. I even asked him after an hour if he was still warming me up, because it felt like the pressure you'd put on a child. I asked him to use his elbows but that didn't happen. Before we started I told him I'm strong, limber and do power yoga every day and was hoping to have deep massage to cover what I can't do in class. It took me years to have the courage to be honest with to a service worker what I want because I hate making people feel like they are failing, so after a few awkward attempts to get what I asked for, I realized he wasn't hearing me or just didn't have the capacity to do deep tissue, so I just laid there and pretended I was meditating instead. I saw a crock put of (untouched) hot rocks when I got dressed. Maybe they could have helped? If I'd paid for that 90 minutes I would have felt shorted, but I didn't so for me it was only just a nice time. The venue is nice and clean and simple, but it's not a spa- you go to your room, get a massage and leave- no chill room to hang out before or after. read more

This was my first time at Kneaded Energy. I was fortunate enough to receive a 90 minute massage as a gift. I called a few weeks in advance to book a therapist to suite my needs; one with strong hands that can do deep tissue. They recommended I see Ian. The place is very easy to get to as it is right off Wendover Ave. It is physically beautiful inside with a very tranquil and zen environment. I love the pan flute music that was playing as it always relaxes me. The staff were all accommodating and professional. I filled out some intake forms indicating areas of my body that I would like special attention paid to; my back and shoulders. I waited briefly in the waiting area until my session was to begin. Ian, my massage therapist, came out and called my name. I readied for my massage and laid on the table under sheet. "Kneading" and massage began on my back working out knots and other tense areas. It felt great you could feel the release. The massage to my feet was my favorite. I had a great experience at Kneaded Energy. Not only are there licensed massage therapists here for your every massage need, but they teach massage as well. It is a massage school too! My massage therapist Ian was trained at Kneaded Energy as well. They did a great job training him. Give them a try for your next massage. I am feeling really good right now! read more

First time having a massage and it was awesome. My masseuse was excellent.She explained the entire procedure and I was at ease and relaxed the entire time. Definitely will be going back soon. read more

Great massages by everyone that I have been to, so I recommend. Even the management is commendable to make sure clients are taken care of, which speaks volumes. read more

I've always tried a place several times before giving a review bad review. I've been here many times, hoping for an amazing massage, seems like Ian is the only good Massuse for deep tissue massage, not to mention he's always booked up weeks or months in advance. I've tried several other therapists there but left very disappointed. It's not a fancy spa so don't expect that, The rooms are tiny, there's some background noise (fan? Vent?), u can barely hear the music. It's good for the price, quick in and out if u can get a decent massage and walk out of there Happy. I've given them enough chances. Cold rooms, cold oil, new therapists that was terrible. A warm bath and a glass of wine in my own hot tub at home feels better than some of the therapists I've been unlucky to have there. Moving on to somewhere different for now. read more

I'm a long-time client (6 years) and have watched Bill and Shelley Norman grow and expand their massage business, all while maintaining a positive calm space and adhering to a standard of excellence. My massage experience is always top-notch and the therapists are knowledgeable and adept to dealing with each persons needs and physical form. The massages are on the upper range of cost for Greensboro, but I'm on their email list and take advantage of special package offers to get the cost down. I definitely believe in quality over quantity when it comes to massage. They also run a massage school and I believe you can get student/teaching massages for less cost. Take note, they are in a new location; a larger, more accessible building on Wendover. read more

Th service was just terrible. The ambience was nice, but he massage therapist was apparently inexperienced and was barely massaging at all. I apparently just paid 90 bucks for some oil & lotion. read more

This is my first review on yelp, I felt like I had to warn other potential and current clients. I get massages often, and I do not recall ever having a bad experience except for this place. I had high hopes because of all the "we only have the best talent" and 'best massage in Greensboro" self-proclamations. If this is the best massage place in Greensboro, I will have to go back to Raleigh to get a decent service and massage. I got to my appointment early and spent about 10 minutes in the waiting room overhearing the staff's conversations. I wasn't trying to listen to them, they were just being loud. To my shock they were discussing clients. I don't know if there is such a thing as a massage ethics but one would assume that discussing clients' physique and condition would be strongly prohibited. ESPECIALLY within an ear shot from actual clients. I couldn't believe it. Another thing I couldn't believe is how weak the massage itself turned out to be. I saw other reviews mentioning that their masseuse barely massaged them - that was the case with me as well. While I didn't expect a deep tissue massage I definitely wanted something stronger than a fearful rubdown. None of the areas I pointed out in the chart were worked on, so what is the point of alerting masseuse about them? This massage was a gift from my husband and I feel awful that he gave his money to this business. I had to lie to him and say that it was great but to everyone else who happens to read this, especially the owners - the experience was a disgrace. No one "kneads" this kind of energy. read more

It was very easy to make an appointment, actually they didn't the time slot I was looking for but calLed me back in a few days to let me know the appointment was available. The office was clean, nice and the front desk was friendly. My therapist listened to my concerns (tension, stress and muscle tightness) and after a 60 minute session I felt great! I would recommend, and I will definitely be back. read more

Great massage place! My husband and I both loved ours and have signed up for several more. We bought their latest deal right on the spot after our massAge, it was so good! You can tell the therapist were trained and knew how to work withy knots and muscle tension! We recommend highly!! read more

This was the absolute worst massage I have ever had. The place is nice, the ambience is relaxing, but the massage therapist are there to provide relaxation, not therapy. If you need more than lotion slathered all over you, go somewhere else. If your skin just needs a little moisture and you want to take a nap, this is probably for you. I was so frustrated with the terrible service and non muscle work I ended my 90 minute session after only 30 minutes. They still expected full pay. I paid. No one called to resolve the matter. read more

Absolutely amazing massage! I love the attention to detail. Ian is the best massage therapist I have ever been to.

Have been a loyal customer here for years and highly recommend giving this place a try. The staff and therapists are always friendly and accomodating. I have worked with three different therapists and all of them did quality work on my extremely tight upper back and shoulders. I doubt you can go wrong with any of the pro's there because I believe this place takes care when hiring, training, retaining talented therapists. read more

Feeling wonderfully relaxed. Friendly reception and even better massage from Tori. Tori is knowledgeable, has a gentle touch and accommodating to your level of comfort. read more

I had a fabulous experience here! Very serene environment. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic massage with well-trained, attentive clinicians. Ask for Tori- you won't be disappointed. Also, there are a lot of holiday deals that make for great gifts for treating yourself or others. Definitely returning for future massages!! read more

I was not pleased with the very first massage therapist, however the second one was great. I was given a gift card,made an appointment but had to cancel due to sickness, it was less than 24 hours therefore had to pay 25 dollars before they would allow me to reschedule which is understandable. After my service , I went to front desk to present my gift card , they told me there would be a charge of 25 dollars because the gift card was for 60 min and I had a 90 minute massage. I told them I did not ask for that I just wanted to use my gift card. I also let them know that no one ask me anything concerning what service I wanted! In fact they hardly said two words to me. It was a very unfriendly atmosphere. One lady who I believe was the owner looked over and said the therapist would not get paid if I did not pay the up charge ! I felt so bad. Thank God I left her a 20$ tip. I left out but considered the therapist and I went back in and ask them to give the therapist an extra 5$ ! At that point the lady said "I take care of my therapist!!!!!! " even though the therapist did a great job(oh and by the way it was very noisy as I got my massage) I felt horrible !!! I do NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. read more

Excellent services! They make you feel special and their therapists are highly skilled.

Tried Kneaded Energy again, this time with a different therapist. I'm glad that I did, it was much better. Very relaxing - great massage! I would suggest talking to the receptionist to get a recommendation for a massage therapist that suits your massage style when booking. read more

This place is very professional, the staff and therapist are very pleasant. It's very nice, neat, and clean. I have a long standing of neck and back injuries from the military and from the first visit I started feeling relief from a lot of years of pain! read more

I was passing through town and in great need of a 90-minute massage. I'm a flight attendant, so I was only in Greensboro for a small period of time and on short notice. I called several businesses for a same-day-appointment and finally landed on Kneaded Energy. Overall, I'm satisfied with the service I received. Pros: When I called in, I explained I was staying at the Marriott and they offered to pick me up for my appointment. Major points here! I call that southern hospitality and this business delivered. The facility is gorgeous. By the entrance is a zen rock fountain and inside the decor was calming and aesthetically pleasing. The therapist seemed receptive throughout the massage and hit all the spots I had indicated needed attention. I was most pleased with the excellent customer service. From the owner picking me up to the kind front desk personnel, I was overwhelmed by their professionalism and decorum. Cons: Half-way through the massage, I heard two women having a conversation that lasted for several minutes- it was a bit disruptive. Also, after getting picked up and filling out paperwork in the lobby, my massage started about 12 minutes late. Wouldn't have been a big deal, but my appointment technically started at 1 pm and the therapist finished at 2:30 on the dot. I wish he would have honored the 90-minute massage length, but maybe he had to prepare for another appointment. By and by, I would return! Greensboro has treated me well for a wayfarer. read more

Had a lovely massage and felt relaxed and comfortable through the entire experience. Jay was wonderful and professional. Thank you.

These people are experts at providing the physical and mental benefits of massage therapy. I have had sessions with 5 different therapists there and none disappointed.

I went there for the first time in January, and got a massage with Abby. She did a great job giving me a massage that was peaceful, relaxing, and soothing. My back felt much better after the massage, and would recommend her and Kneaded Energy. read more

Cannot say enough good things about the care and attention that I received while there. MT didn't talk the whole time so I actually relaxed! Phenomenal work! read more

One of the best massages I've had yet. For this being my first massage out here in Greensboro, I am more than satisfied. As soon as I walked in the door a calming feeling rushes over you. The intake staff were very nice, friendly, and processed my paperwork with minimal time. The massage room was very serene and made it easier to get comfortable. My masseuse Rachel was wonderful, she was very friendly, knowledgeable, and considerate; she got to know what my back needed. Rachel is definitely one of my top three favorite masseuses of all time. Just about the entire process was flawless, except for when I was checking out. I knew going in they were going to be a little more on the high side than the other massage businesses I researched but they did not honor the first time introductory rate. Also, I inquired about the package deals they offer and ended up settling on a five package deal. It wasn't until after my card was ran that the lady informed me that Rachel was booked solid for a month and May was filling up fast. This would have been a key piece of information that should have been divulged before excepting several hundred dollars. Other than that, I had a wonderful experience and will actually be going back in again today for another session. read more

Charged for 90 minutes and provided 60 minutes. Paperwork took time and they were late taking me in. While having massage, people walked by talking and laughing. Happened 3 times in 60 minutes. Nothing special. Do not waist your money. Not recommended!! read more

First visit and it was great! Staff, facility and atmosphere are excellent. Definitely will go back & highly recommend.

Love, love, love Kneaded Energy! They always remember to warm my massage bed and to place lavender near the bed. I couldn't feel more relaxed after leaving here! read more

Kneaded Energy and I had a recent misunderstanding pertaining to an appointment at the school clinic. When I aired my complaint, the owner personally responded, apologized for the situation, and offered me very fair compensation. This misunderstanding involved the student clinic downstairs and not the professional massage clinic upstairs. Incidentally, this incident was the first time, in many visits to KE, where I have had an issue. I would encourage anyone looking for a massage, albeit through one of their professionals or their students, to give them a try. read more

I've been with Kneaded Energy since they first opened and I won't consider going anywhere else. The service is impeccable, the staff friendly and helpful, the prices more than reasonable, and the facility is beautiful and tranquil. I can't recommend them enough. I have fibromyalgia and without regular massages here, I would be in much more pain. read more

I have had some bad knots in my back for some time and other places I have been to have not been able to release them but they here. They did an amazing job it was both relaxing and therapeutical I would recommend this place to anyone I will definitely be coming back again!!! read more

The massage started 10 minutes late which was a bit annoying as I had plans later in the afternoon and didn't have a lot of time to spare. The therapist did a good job with the actual massage but it is hard to relax because of all of the noise. They have barn doors to the rooms and you can hear them opening and closing constantly which is not relaxing at all. The walls are very thin so you can hear conversations from all over the building. When I was leaving I presented my $100 gift card and asked for the $20 remaining to be used as a tip for the therapist. When my wife purchased the gift card she specifically asked about this as she did not want me to have to worry about bringing money for a tip since it was a present. The cashier told me that I couldn't do that but the $20 could be used for my next visit. She said that if I wanted to use the money for a tip then my wife would have had to have that notated up front. She did finally agree to use the $20 as a tip after more than 5-minute conversation which completely embarrassed me as I, of course, brought no cash for a tip. Basically, the company is trying to pocket $20 and basically steal the money from the therapist. I'm fine if money on the gift card can't be used for a tip but the company should give that information instead of the opposite. At the end of the day my wife paid $100 for me to leave Kneaded Energy much less relaxed than when I arrived. read more
