I visited Main Street Massage Therapy for the first time, and it was truly wonderful. The massage studio is on the second floor of a building on Main Street. They provide EXCELLENT directions with photos on their website. I also really appreciate that I was able to book easily online without calling. I would only suggest providing information on the website if you have a disability on how to get to the second floor. The shop was very cute. It didn't have some of the "glam" of other spas that I have been too, however I felt that it was a little refreshing. It felt like a local business and a had a great "mom and pop" vibe (thanks Jenny K. for that appropriate description of it). It was very clean. I had a massage with Nisha. She was amazing! I felt that she really cared about making it a great experience and improving my pain. One of the things that I really LOVED was the specific massage components/techniques. She incorporated more stretches than previous massage therapists. I have been to PT for my neck pain previously, and the PT did specific exercises/massages for my neck pain at the end of the session that I loved. I never had massage therapists do those same exercises. Nisha did. I felt that the price was reasonable for AA, especially with the Yelp Coupon. It was lower than peer establishments. read more

I've had a million massages in my life. Today's massage with Sean was the very best! From the first minute he found the perfect spots. He used perfect pressure. When there was a spot that needed to 'pop', he didn't give up. He made my whole body relaxed and poison free. Thank you Sean!!!! (And Mary the owner is on top of things). I'm so grateful. read more

I needed a massage because I was getting tight from over-running, and was pleasantly surprised I was able to get a same day appointment. I arrived late but my therapist, Geoff, was gracious. Most amazing massage and stretch! Perfect pressure, extremely collaborative and very knowledgeable. Exactly what I needed. Highly recommend Geoff. read more

I went in to get a massage during their $50 Friday in December deals, as it's the most stressful month of the year at my job. I got there right on time and had a gent greet me and take me back to the room, he asked what I was in for, and then directed me to the table. Honestly I wasn't really a fan. This seemed more like it was about breathing and acupressure than it was an actual massage. It also wasn't a full hour, more like 45 minutes in total. I was getting dressed about 5 minutes to the hour. He was also hitting a point in my neck that had me going home with an actual migraine. I didn't know that could happen, even being covered in peppermint essential oil. Very nice man, but I don't think I'd go back again. read more

Just went here and got a massage with Bridgette and it was wonderful! She checked in multiple times with me to make sure the pressure was good for me and really focused on the areas that had been an issue for me. Would highly recommend going here for your next massage! read more

I booked my appointment 4 days before I needed it. My masseuse got a back injury so they called me and offered to reschedule for later that same day. I had Bridgette, she was super nice and made me feel comfortable. She talked to me during the massage and put me at ease. She was perfect and made sure every little thing was ok. Nothing was too hot, too cold, too much pressure, not enough pressure, etc. overall a sweetheart. Next time I get my paycheck and a bad back I'll be back! Oh I got the 100 Minutes of Bliss. read more

Main Street Massage Therapy - 100 Minutes of Bliss - Massage Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

The therapist and the environment were very nice. I asked for a deep tissue massage. I received nothing of the sort.

100% recommend Geoff Beck! I had a shoulder injury around 5 years ago and had pain, compromised mobility and reduced strength. It was also really affecting my neck and the positions that I could sleep in were limited. I had seen doctors and a chiropractor with no resolution - the best they could offer was periodic injections to reduce the pain. I thought I would just have to live with the 'damage' forever. Geoff has an amazing philosophy and he is incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive. He honed in on the source of the problem and fully addressed it. It took a few sessions, but my shoulder is 100% functional now - fully mobile and no more pain. I can put my arm in any position and my neck problems have disappeared. I really did not think this was possible - I'm so grateful to Geoff! Conventional medicine doesn't seem to be about healing but Geoff is a true healer, drawing on many philosophies and massage techniques. THANK YOU, GEOFF!! read more

I wrote a pretty harsh review a week ago about essnetially the customer service I received from this place. The next day the owner did call to apologize and offer to do the services on another day so I agreed to try them out. I was definitely nervous because 1. my review and 2. the services were greatly discounted to make up for the mishap. I wasn't sure if we were just going to get mediocre to poor massages or if they would actually take it seriously.. Well, we would be back. The massages were absolutely wonderful. Katherine listened to exactly what I wanted and even confirmed that I made sense with the issues I was having in my day to day are from the stresses in certain areas. She did a wonderful job helping me out and did an excellent job. The person I went with also enjoyed his massage and said the same thing for the man who did his. We were impressed and would absoluttttely do it again. I truly thank you guys for offering this to us based on the mishap before because you have 100% earned my business long term. read more

Cute little shop on the second floor of building on Main Street. Hard to find if you're not looking for it. Was able to make an appointment same day. Had a great "mom and pop" vibe as the massage room was right at the top of the stairs. Waiting room consisted of a few chairs. Had a wonderful massage by Katherine, who has great energy and healing hands. She based my massage on how my muscles felt (she truly knows her stuff and has had many many years in the business) and what I personally wanted. She checked in on my multiple times. Would love to come back :) read more

My boyfriend and I came in for a couples massage a few months ago. My boyfriend loved his massage but I was not so pleased with my massage. The man who gave me my massage was not so understanding that I am sensitive in certain areas of my body. He was annoyed that I made his job a little more difficult.. sorry dude. Near the end of the workout I noticed that he started using one hand to give me my massage so I opened my eyes and saw him texting while massaging me with one hand.. are you kidding me?! For paying $170 for a couples massage I expected a decent massage, not for you to give me attitude about my needs and for you to disrespect me by using your phone during a massage. I'm never coming here again and I highly recommend that others do not come here. read more

Nisha gives the best massages I've ever had in my life. I live with chronic back pain and have been to pain clinics and numerous doctors who have never been able to fix my pain--they only want to mask it with drugs. I have discovered that my pain is managed much better and I have many pain-free days because of Nisha's skillful massage. She is truly a healer and I am so thankful I found her. read more

There are some great therapists at MainSt. Nisha & Hal do great with cupping therapy, Hal does the best legs. Milan is a treasure chest of goodness. Bridget is as knowledgeable as they come and a real sweetie. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with the therapy they would receive there. MY Issue was the owner. NOT a good match. BY FAR. But to each his own. Please tip your therapists well. They are private contractors and have to pay for all their own supplies. Tammie Can be found at Bellanina Day Spa, a clean, quiet, peaceful professional spa in Kerrytown, where she can ride her bike to work and keep her carbon footprint low. Or ask the therapists for her private number if you're a previous client. read more

What a wonderful place in the heart of Ann Arbor! My girlfriend and I were shown the warmest of hospitality upon entering, and not once did we feel unwelcome. Mike provided me with a high-quality massage and ngaging conversation, which I was open to. My girlfriend was also quite pleased with her massage, noting her masseuse's patience and understanding, given she can be a bit ticklish in some areas. Thanks, MSM. We'll be back! read more

Came in for a fabulous massage. They were able to accommodate same day evening appointments. It's a little hard to find but there is a small door in between the restaurants that leads to the second floor studios. The female therapist was new but clearly has excellent experience doing massage. She focused on areas that I asked her to. Checked in on pressure and made sure I got what I needed. My partner had a male therapist. He also turned out to be excellent. Applied just the right pressure in just the right places to leave her feeling fabulous. Would definitely come back. read more

What a truly relaxing and wonderful experience!! I decided to treat myself on my birthday, so I got one of their September specials- $65 for an hour body massage plus a pedi scrub. The massage place is located on the second floor of the Prickly Pear Restaurant building, so it was a tad small, but hey, when you are in the moment being rubbed by the amazing masseuse Nisha, size doesn't matter. Nisha was great, just the right amount of talkative, was aware of my needs and addressed them, and overall an amazing massage (I mean, this is my first table massage, but I think it can't get much better than this. Who knew my neck was so tense?? Walked out floating on a cloud of sunshine. So many happygoodfeelings! Will go back for the couple's massage for sure :) read more

I came to Ann Arbor for work and really wanted to get some quality body work while I was here. Main Street advertised many modalities of massage and I was impressed with the small boutique style space it offered and the fair pricing! I was booked for an evening massage with Tammy and she was an absolutely incredible practitioner! She intuitively found my trouble areas and I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Tammy has a wonderful spirit to her and you can feel true experience in her hands! If you're looking for massage therapy that will leave you feeling truly grounded, get online and book with Tammy! read more

What a wonderful time to spend with my daughter! We decided to get massages on a weekday, and we booked with Hal and Tammy. We were offered options for individual massages, or to be placed in the same room. It was a lot of fun! Both therapists were very professional and did a GREAT job, letting us know what to expect and making us feel very pampered and relaxed - a real treat. A parking lot was across the street, and the location was very easy to find. We will definitely be back - thanks Hal and Tammy! read more

Nisha is incredibly talented, skilled, knowledgeable. She's in the top tier of massage therapists, and I've had a few! You won't regret giving yourself (or someone else) this wonderful gift. read more

Pros: Booking was very easy online (They let us book a group massage) They were acting safely upon arrival (took temperatures, required masks, sanitized our hands, wore their own face masks, etc). They were timely with our appointments. The massage did help target some trouble areas I was having. Con: For me personally, it was not exactly the "spa" type experience someone might be looking for when getting services such as these. Someone else described it as having a "mom and pop" vibe in the reviews, and they are correct. It's an older type of area in an upstairs part of a building, but this might be what some people enjoy. It can give comfort. read more

I was in so much pain, I spent over an hour trying to find an appointment. I was able to get an appointment the next day. And I am so glad that I picked this one. Tammie is so knowledgeable and kind. She was able to hone in on the most soreness and helped relieve a lot of the pain. She explained everything thoroughly as she was doing it. She gave me some tips on how to minimize pain until my next appointment. I will definitely be back and make her my go to person! read more

The massage was great and they took all the necessary precautions to make me feel comfortable during COVID.

I can't wait for massages to be safe again to come back to this place. Special mention to Geoff, Nisha, and Mary for taking care of me over the past 5 years I've been coming here. 1) 90 Minute Massage: I get these once every 6-8 months since my body has the tendency to develop pretty bad back knots, calf tightness, and pain in the plantar fascia due to my anatomically flat feet. My knots are always eased from the source and kept away for a good amount of time. I would usually go for the Massage Monday 60-minute special, but if you need a lot of work done, 90 minutes are ideal so that you don't need to keep coming back or getting more chiropractor appointments in. Nisha is my go-to since she uses tools to reach deeper into the muscles and stretch them to ease all the deep tension. 2) Sports massage: As a former dancer at Michigan, my achilles, arches, calves, and hips are always tight because well, we push our joints to a range of motion they shouldn't be doing. Geoff works wonders on my feet! 3) Couple's Massage: My boyfriend and I went for our birthday couple's massage and it was fantastic. You get two flutes of champagne, some delicious truffles, and a 60-minute individualized massage. 4) Raindrop therapy: I decided to try this when I was facing a lot of stress and anxiety issues. It uses essential oils to simulate the feeling of raindrops and then a massage. This is a more relaxing massage compared to one where you can expect to get your knots and deep tissues fixed. 5) Reflexology: Geoff is also fantastic at finding energy blockages in the body through the feet and using it as a holistic healing method. Great for relaxation and also to get rid of muscle tension. read more

Coming from a promiscuous massage client, who bounces between several massage businesses in Washtenaw county, I've realized only after years of living here that this is the BEST deal in the area. This place doesn't even need the reviews, it's that awesome of a staple in the Ann Arbor community. I seriously think that Main Street Massage is a higher power's gift to graduate students because, yes for real, $40 Mondays! I've seen Kirt and Nisha here and they're both AMAZING. Kirt has the grippiest hands, the perfect size and strength at taking on the mountain ridges for knots that line my back. And Nisha, she's given me the most beautiful massages I've ever received. Seriously, the smell of the room from the oils, the feel of my neck after she stretches it ways I never thought possible, simply awesome. I've never had any other treatments offered here--facials, other beauty packages. I'm actually curious as to where they would perform these, given the small sizes of the massage rooms. All in all, this place is top on my list for wellness and self care. read more

I'm not a big massage studio bouncer. I tend to find one or two favorites and stick to them. However, my fatal massage flaw is that I tend to ignore pain and restrictions in muscles and range of motion (and yes, I try to stretch to help!) until it gets almost unbearable. For this reason, I now have about 3-4 regular massage places that I trust and end up rotating between. Though Balance Massage Therapy is currently my economical go-to choice, Main Street has become a more regular place to go to, particularly if I know I'll be needing some muscle-help on a day when I don't have a car (since it's easily in walking or busing distance). I've had several therapists, and found them very professional and thorough. They're good at tuning in to areas when I know that I tend to carry tension and more long term pain. This doesn't mean they are afraid of those areas, though. I like my massages with pretty firm pressure, and so I appreciate how communicative my therapists here have been in terms of getting the right levels of pressure -- sometimes I'd rather than more intense pressure and be able to just breath through it if that means really getting a knot to release. I really really love the online scheduling. It may seem like a little thing, but because my schedule get so wacky sometimes, I find myself with only very specific times I could squeeze something in. Being able to look at their openings via their online booking and then compare it to my iCal is really a bonus. Also, the pricing here is very reasonable, and they occasionally have specials or coupons that you can find in some of the local coupon/saver mailers. read more

I had my first professional massage EVER today with Erin &couldn't be happier!! She was amazing-- very professional &knowledgeable, yet down-to-earth. and was really tuned in to the issues I was having, offering me suggestions on what to do to lessen these problems in the future. I must admit I was a little nervous about getting my first massage, but right from the get-go, Erin made me feel comfortable &at home. I left with relatively no pain (a HUGE improvement from what I walked in the door with!) &have been in a great mood the rest of the day. Can't wait to book my next massage with Erin! I recommend her to anyone who would like a relaxing massage or is interested in trying a myofascial release, which is something she specializes in. I just wanted to note that the online scheduling &the specials that MSM offers make it easy to want to come back! I mean, 75 minutes for only 60 bucks? Um, awesome!! read more

After doing some extensive searching for a much needed last-minute massage in Ann Arbor, I noticed that Erin had time available next day so I booked an appointment on Main Street Massage Therapy's handy online reservation site. Since it was my first massage I was a little apprehensive - I didn't know the protocol. Turns out I had nothing to worry about! The whole process couldn't have been simpler or easier, and Erin left me feeling so much more relaxed and ten times taller. Conversation was relaxed, not forced, and I was completely at ease the whole time. I'm a runner and occasionally have my fair share of muscley aches and pains, I will be definitely coming back. read more

What a great place for a massage! I've been here a number of times, both for 1hr massages at regular pricing or monthly discount specials, both my fiancé and I enjoy coming here for our massages. I can say for those of you holding off on a massage, "don't" because its one of the best relaxing things you can do for yourself. The staff here are great and you will always leave feeling great and refreshed, almost like a new 'man/woman'. Remember the average person takes cake of their car more than their own health! So change that and start with a massage to make yourself feel good. I recommend minimum and hour! Enjoy ;) read more

sadly this place has no faith in its customers. I regularly visit massage therapists (3 times per week on average) And i am NEVER Required to leave a credit card number to hold my appointment (i do not have a credit or debit card, that is not real money its just 1's and 0's on a computer somewhere.) This place requires you to leave a credit card to hold your appointment. I cannot review the massage therapy sadly because of their stupid requirement. The lady offered for me to drive 20 miles to put down a CASH deposit, but i am not willing to bend over backwards to get a massage. There are PLENTY of qualified and GREAT massage therapists in the area. No need to force my money down someone who doesn't want its throat. I highly recommend people not bother with this place. Let their crappy business practices drive them out of business. read more

The staff here are professional, client-centered, and incredible at targeting problem areas. I often got neck and shoulder tension and they worked wonders at not only relieving the pain, but also sharing stretches that I could do on my own to maintain relaxed muscles. Highly recommend! read more

I've been seeing Bridgette semi-regularly for about a year and I'm always so impressed by her work. I've got typical desk worker issues with my neck, chest, and shoulders -- Bridgette knows exactly what muscles need the most work to get me feeling and moving better. She's also so friendly! Other reviews say the ambiance as less than ideal. I see where they are coming from -- it's not a fancy spa. But I find it perfectly comfortable, probably even more so for being less pretentious. To be honest, I spend most of my massage with my eyes closed, so as long as it smells good, isn't loud, and is warm/cool enough, I'm very happy with the ambiance. read more

I made an appointment at Main Street Massage once when I was staying in Ann Arbor over a break after midterms and desperately needed a massage. This place had really positive reviews, so I decided to check it out. Overall, my experience was not that great. I was expecting an experience similar to the other spas I have been to-- that is, a relaxing one. When I got there, I sat on a cramped bench surrounded by other customers' shoes (they ask you to remove them if there's bad weather, but it was sunny on this day). When Geoff was ready for me, I went into a small room that felt kind of like a doctor's office. The lights were bright, which was off-putting. The music that was playing also wasn't very soothing. As for the massage itself-- it wasn't what I was looking for. Maybe I didn't properly communicate what I wanted, but nevertheless, it felt more like an examination than a relaxing massage. I appreciated that he was trying to relieve my knotted muscles, but his method of getting rid of tension involved a lot of forceful pushing on my body, pulling and bending of my legs...basically, a lot of PAINFUL motions. I'm all for a massage with more pressure, but this wasn't a massage, it was just pushing on my back and bending my limbs. It felt more like physical therapy than anything else, so if you're looking for a massage that is more medical then this should be fine for you. Just wasn't what I was looking for in terms of relaxation! The fact that his breath smelled bad didn't help at all. Overall, I'm glad that this place isn't as expensive as other spas, because my massage wasn't what I was hoping for. Again, if you want more of a physical therapy-type massage, this is probably a good place for you...but if you want relaxing, not strenuous, I'd look elsewhere! read more

I was having some tension headaches and found this place from the great reviews on Yelp. The online booking tool is handy and the prices are unbeatable. The location is convenient but I did have a bit of trouble finding the place. The studio is directly above the Prickly Pear and there is a stairwell to the right of the restaurant. I had a massage with Erin and it was excellent. She asked questions and tailored the massage to my situation. Not everyone can do skilled deep tissue massage and this was very good. She fixed the problem but didn't leave me feeling "beat up". Her friendly and relaxing attitude made the experience even better. read more

It was a great massage, the room was spacious and comfortable, and a nice heated massage table. Erin did a great job targeting the areas I was having tightness in, and she even took a few minutes after the massage to recommend some stretching exercises. Great experience! read more

The massage was a okay but nothing to rave above. I've had better and probably won't come back to this place. It was loud with phones ringing and people walking around. Not like a traditional spa at all. I usually go to the beach house in Birmingham. I will continue to go there. It's worth the longer drive read more

It was my first time here and I was so pleased with my massage! Erin was lovely and made me feel very comfortable. She focused on the target areas I requested and used firm pressure like I prefer! I will definitely be coming back in the future :) read more

My first time at MSMT was yesterday when I had a 90 minute massage with Katherine. It was unbelievable. Hands down the best massage I've ever had in my life. Katherine is a healer, and her massage was nothing short of hypnotizing. I really appreciated her time, patience, and energy. I look forward to the next time I find myself under Katherine's care! read more

I booked an appointment for my mom and I for her birthday. They have a package- 2 one hour massages, two dinners, two drinks, and two desserts from the Prickly Pear (The owner owns both) for only $165. I read the reviews and they were right. The place is cozy and not snoody. Micheal gave me the best massage and was very easy to talk to. I am not a talker when I get a massage but I felt like talking so I started the conversation. He was too cool. My mom had Cheryl and said she did a great job. After we headed down stairsand had a great meal and dessert was yum! I think this package was perfect and mom was happy so I did good ;) read more

Amazing!!! I am a baker, so i am on my feet all day. After a long week I decided to treat myself to a massage. I called Erin and she informed me of the online booking, I went ahead and got in the following week. Erin was great and I will definitely be returning monthly......well worth it! read more

I love this charming little place! Leigh is absolutely amazing. She's the only masseuse that I've been to that can really work out the knots in my neck and shoulders. She is very friendly and made me feel instantly at ease. She's super knowledgeable and even suggested some helpful stretches I can do at my home or office. I try to come somewhat regularly, and my neck pain has improved significantly since Leigh has been working on it. They have good specials on Mondays and Wednesdays. read more
