I have never been very good about stretching or warming up/cooling down after exercise, and I've often had tightness and sore muscles. Melissa has a knowledgeable touch that can be as firm as necessary, yet always soothing as well. She is able to pinpoint and find knots that I didn't even know existed. Do yourself a favor, and spend 60-90 minutes with Melissa. She is truly gifted. Thanks Melissa, you are a gem!

This place is amazing! I got lucky and scored a couples massage on short notice due to a…read morecancellation. I haven't had a massage in almost 3 years, so I'm a complete disaster. Thankfully, the therapist that I had was extraordinary - Christine. Since my knots have knots currently, she certainly had her work cut out for her. The couples massage takes place in the salt cave. What a lovely, zen space! I kinda want to move in.... I left there feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Christine warned me that I would be sore and to drink a lot of water. I was definitely sore - but a really good sore. I drank lots of water and clean iced herbal tea for the rest of the day. I feel fabulous today and I plan to book another massage within a reasonable amount of time to try and avoid getting into the physical mess that I'm in! FYI - they're still following covid protocols - which I personally think is great. Once in the salt cave, masks can be removed (but the therapists do keep them on currently). The front door stays locked, so call ahead to book appointments or to shop for anything relating to Himalayan salt products. I'll definitely be back!

This review is specifically for TMJ massage, and even more specifically for TMJ massage performed…read moreby Jodee. I've had TMJ disorder since high school and, as I've aged, the flare-ups have gotten much worse--and way more frequent. My dentists over the years haven't been incredibly helpful; the only thing they really offer is a nightguard, which I basically wear until I gnaw holes through it. Rinse, repeat. Looking for more proactive solutions, I tried Botox--it offered relief, but not lasting relief. And it was EXPENSIVE. I've always loved massage, and I'd heard rumors of the slightly scary-sounding "intraoral" TMJ massages. I was shocked that no one local offers TMJ massage (or at least, don't advertise it). After expanding my search, I finally found the Salt Cave, 55 minutes away. Figuring it couldn't hurt to try, I emailed the Salt Cave and Jodee responded right away. I would travel to the ends of the earth for the relief that Jodee has given me. I haven't had a real TMJ flare-up since I've started seeing her, and I've been seeing her for about four months now. The miracles she has worked on my jaw are seriously ... well, miraculous. I'm no longer constantly massaging a swollen, painful cheek, or feeling that pop when I open my mouth too wide. Even after the first visit I noticed a seriously impressive difference. I'm more cognizant of my posture, my stress levels, and my face in general. Not only is Jodee amazing at TMJ massages, and not only is the pricing very reasonable for the amount of relief she provides. Jodee just also happens to be a darn sweetheart. These may not be the supremely relaxing spa massages we're used to falling asleep in, you may have to participate, and you even get homework, but I leave Jodee each time feeling energized, invigorated, and physically stronger than when I walked in. Jodee makes fun chitchat, checks in with you on comfort levels, and above all listens to you and your body. An example: one visit, I had recently suffered the worst migraine of my life, brought about by changing medications, high humidity, and PMS. I let Jodee know that I would likely have more jaw tension because of this ... and she went to town on my neck, working the specific muscles that were still screaming, while still not neglecting my jaw. She even educated me on the areas I can massage myself, and loaned me a neck-training device to see if it would help. She gets no money from that; I wouldn't be buying such a device from her. She's just that caring and kind, and genuinely wants to help people feel the best that they can. Jodee's a healer. And I didn't know that TMJ was something that could be healed or even improved, until I met her. Grateful for her every single day, and can't wait to see her again.

He understands your muscles and anatomy and did certain technics to my back and neck , that released the knot almost instantaneously. During the massage he educated me on my anatomy and told me what he was feeling about my muscles. He is now my go to massage doctor. Forget acupuncture, this is the guy to go to first. I would give Pat 6 stars if Yelp allowed. He's amazing. Highest recommendation.

Being a parent means you neglect your body wellness longer than you really should. I knew very…read morewell that my husband and I were long overdue for a couples massage, and couldn't think of a better place to have a memorable experience than at the infamous Sagamore Resort, at their Opal Spa. My husband's family has only ever spoken about the Sagamore and we would be the very first to venture and visit! Excitement all around! We booked for a 1:30PM appointment, clearly stating each of our needs (my throbbing shoulders and my husband's plantar issues) prior to our visit. It was $180 per person, and knew the splurge would be well worth it! Upon entering the Sagamore, parking is free if you are visiting the spa, so we opted to valet for convenience. We were greeted at the counter warmly by the staff, and we were taken into the women and mens lounges to enjoy the complementary sauna and steam rooms prior to our service, if we wanted, or to enjoy after (which was what we did). I decided to hang our in the lounge since I had only a few minutes to my massage, and enjoyed my plush white robe, and had some cucumber water and some dried fruit to nibble on so my stomach wouldn't growl during the massage. We had Hendrick and Michael as our therapists, and within 5 minutes of my massage, Hendrick cracked my back to re-align it! My husband and I laughed and I sunk deeper into the massage table. Beautifully serene atmosphere and great attention to detail from beginning to end. My shoulder pain - GONE; my husband's plantar pain - GONE. This massage didn't hurt like so many I'd experienced over the years. This massage was skilled, and filled with intent to apply the right pressure for deep tissue without the unnecessary pain to follow. To top the experience with the cherry, when we left, we got to see the Mohican steamboat toot a salute to the Sagamore. It was amazing to see the steamboat from the Sagamore versus being on the Mohican. I hope I established a new spa tradition for my husband and I!

First let me start by saying my aromatherapy massage was awful. the massage itself consisted of…read moredifferent oils being placed on your body. massage didn't exist. Then I was supposed to have a hot oil treatment which was never done. At the end I told the front desk and they said they had no time to do it but I can sit in the salt room. The smell was so bad I had to leave. I asked the woman who worked there why such an awful smell. I asked if it was from the salt and she said the smell was coming from something else but never said what. Last but not least at the end of the treatments they told you what products they used on you and if you want to purchase. I purchased face cream, face scrub and face wash. The face scrub never made it in my bag. I called and they said they checked the security camera and it shows it made it in someone's bag but certainly not mine. I spent $900.00 dollars between myself and grandaughter and for $58.00 they made it seem like I wanted the face scrub for free. Poor management on Nicole's side. Never again Mr. Gay who is the senior Management should look into this. Keep your cream but I will not be going back again. We were a party of 12.

Not only did Joe relieve her muscle pain but he also realized that a past surgery was impeding her mobility in her neck and she found instant release.

Lucky for me, Katie at the Mirror Lake Inn spa grabbed her hot stones and got to WORK. The 80 minute massage I experienced was truly next level relaxation. I made the appointment for a Friday one week before, and was so excited to get in. The spa itself is gorgeous, though a huge bummer that the sauna and locker room aren't accessible at this time due to COVID. I took a walk through and had envy for everyone who got to enjoy that level of LAVISH. Still 5 stars even though I didn't get the full experience. Staff was fantastic and you can't beat the location. This is the biggest, splurgiest "treat yo self" I'll do all year, as an 80 minute hot stone massage ran me more than $200 with tip. She's not cheap but I will continue to rationalize this experience in my head as 100000% worth it. The need to not pay attention to anything but my back feeling better for an hour was a gift only $200 can buy. This business page is confusing and the photos are more indicative of the INN then the spa. I stayed at the next door high peaks resort and did a service here, and you do not have the stay at the inn to enjoy the spa. Happy relaxing and thank you to Katie and the team at the spa for such an awesome experience!
