I've had MANY massages over the past 15 years for back and neck problems. Recently, I had really…read morebad pain in my arms, with tingling and stiffness into my back and neck. The pain and tingling lasted for months, and I tried everything to make it go away, including acupuncture and even seeing a neurologist (which included a painful nerve test and an MRI). Then I found Amy, totally by accident.. I had read good reviews about her massages and her office was near my house, so I decided to give her a try. Not only did Amy give me the best massage I've ever had, but all of the pain and tingling I had been dealing with FOR MONTHS went away after just one massage! As long as Amy is in Austin, I will be a loyal customer. I really can't recommend her highly enough!!

Tucked into a lush and quiet corner of a downtown desert side street, Kneading Bodies (located at…read moreCreekside Whole Health Center) is a wellspring of relaxation, rejuvenation, and joy.

Practitioner Amy Myers is trained in at least 6 types of massage and has been practicing for over a decade. Her keen awareness of the working human body, unyielding ability to listen to and digest the needs of her clients (I speak for myself and the folks I know whom have also worked with Amy), and her jovial disposition will have you finally giving yourself the permission to treat your body with the respect it deserves for carrying that big old brain around. BONUS: The Couples Massage Class is a wonderful way to connect and communicate with your partner in an otherwise rush-rush world.

I discovered TL Foot Spa completely by accident while driving down William Cannon in the middle of…read moremoving hell between apartments. My entire body hurt, I needed relief STAT, and their sign caught my attention. I looked them up online, loved the prices and the fact that I could book an appointment online, and decided to give them a shot. For my first visit, I booked the 20-minute chair massage + 40-minute foot massage combo. Both were good and my appointment started right on time. I did find it a little bizarre to have a towel placed over my eyes for the entire foot massage, but I suppose I can survive being off my phone for 40 minutes. Overall, a really good first experience, especially for the price. I went back a few days later for a 30-minute chair massage and OH MY WORD. So. Good. My shoulders and back were absolutely wrecked from moving and this was exactly what I needed. The second visit did have some hiccups, though. I had booked online several hours in advance, but when I arrived, both of their chair massage chairs (there are only two) had been given to walk-ins. I ended up waiting almost 15 minutes past my scheduled appointment. They offered to switch me to a body massage for the same price, but that wasn't what I had booked or wanted, and they seemed a little annoyed when I declined. Once my chair massage finally started, there were also several interruptions while the employees were speaking pretty angrily to each other. At one point I actually poked my head up because I wasn't sure what was happening or whether I should just leave. Whatever was going on eventually settled down enough for my massage to continue, and apparently my massage therapist decided to channel ALL of that energy directly into my shoulders and back because GOOD LORD. In the absolute best way. He worked out so many of the knots from moving that I could have happily stayed in that chair for several more hours. One thing worth knowing before you go: as several other reviewers have mentioned, the language barrier can be pretty significant. Communication beyond things like "strong," "light" and "thank you" can be difficult. It's certainly workable, but it made some of the confusion during my second visit harder to navigate. The online payment process is also a little unusual. When you book online, you pay the full cost of the service upfront as your "deposit." After the massage, you enter your tip separately as a new sale while they bypass the normal tip screen. It was confusing the first time, especially combined with the communication barrier, but now that I understand how their system works, it'll be much easier next time. And there WILL be a next time. Overall, TL Foot Spa offers really good massages at very reasonable prices, and I definitely plan to go back. Now that I understand some of their processes and quirks, I know more of what to expect. The appointment delay, communication challenges and somewhat chaotic second visit are what keep me from giving five stars, but the actual massages have been excellent and my moving-destroyed shoulders are very grateful I happened to drive past that sign.

This technique is able to deliver a wonderful amount of pressure, and the larger surface area of the foot makes it much more receivable! In regular deep tissue massages, I can barely tolerate pressure on my thighs. In Robi's Ashiatsu sessions, I can tolerate deeper pressure than I ever thought possible, and I always leave feeling a million times better than when I walk in. I've noticed I can get a better depth in my squats even weeks after Robi's work on me. I will definitely be coming back, and I'd encourage anyone- althetes, desk workers, parents, and everything in between- to check out Robi's studio and give Ashiatsu a chance!
