Asami greeted me with her wonderful and welcoming smile :) and friendly persona in a very open but professional way. The massage....WOW! she is kind of petite but her hands and massage techniques was out of this world. Good strong pressure and knowing where the kinks and pressure points were, and also knew how to handle my foot cramps. And, like magic her hands and fingers became warmer and warmer and so soothing the further she went into the massage. If you want to get someone who knows how to handle her clients with a golden smile :) and then get a great massage with total relief, then please ask for Asami the next time you are looking for a professional massage. Asami is the best! 5+ Etoc

I booked 60 mins on Thursday and it was so good, I immediately booked another for Saturday. I…read morehighly recommend this place. But it's a no frills, traditional shiatsu massage by talented specialists so just make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. It's in an open space, fully clothed (so where loose comfortable clothing; not jeans etc) with no oil. It's targeted pressure points and not oiled like Swedish or Thai massages. They focus on the areas you escalate to them versus a full body massage. I saw both Kieko and Aya. I'd recommend both. Keiko for more precise pressure points and Aya for stronger broader technique. Both are attentive and focus on problematic areas you raise to them and will adapt their session with an intention to address that targeted area. Both genuinely seemed to care about my improvement and provide advise for after their session. Hope this place continues to do well.

There are different reasons to get a massage. When I want a nice, leisurely session to loosen up…read moretight muscles, for relaxation, or for stress relief, I might go for a full-body massage elsewhere. But when I have a specific issue or pain that I hope shiatsu can help with, I come to Aisen. Of course, there's some overlap between the two types of massage. You can get shiatsu for tight muscles, relaxation, or stress relief. But where shiatsu really shines is when areas of my body are in need of healing. Clients remain fully clothed, and the shared treatment room is divided into separate areas by soft futons on a padded floor, each with a face rest similar to those on massage tables. Aisen has both male and female therapists, and in my experience, all are qualified professionals. That said, you may still like one therapist more than another, depending on your own preferences. Many sessions are conducted in silence, with only occasional quiet exchanges. Some clients, though, seem comfortable with therapists who engage more actively in conversation. Although I've been coming here for years, this morning was only my second treatment with one of the therapists there -- both times for specific issues. I like this person's thoroughness and pressure. And like the others I've seen here, the focus is on the whole body, not just the parts that ache. I made a follow-up appointment with this therapist.

Sani welcomed me as soon as I walked in. He asked me what I wanted to focus on and we went to work. I get like 2+ massages a month, so I sort of know what I like. Sani was great. I told him I wanted my upper back, tops of shoulders, deltoid area, and left hip/glute. While he used great pressure on my upper back, I prefer much more pointed, focused, deep tissue massages where they dig into a knot to the point where you can feel the crunchy trigger point as it releases. Sani had a smoother, sweeping technique. He would press on trigger points to get them to loosen up a bit but wouldn't keep at it. I don't know anything about massage techniques but I wonder if this is because his speciality might be sports massage? Anyway, it was more than adequate and I left feeling relaxed but my shoulders were still a bit locked up when I left (to be fair to him, my shoulders are always ridiculously tight so they require a lot of attention). Why he gets 4 stars is because of his work on my deltoid area which I had previously injured and is still healing. He focused a lot of pressure and used his fingers to help break up whatever scar tissue or fascia or whatever. I definitely had greater range of movement in my shoulder after I left. Same for my glute medius/lower left back area. It's perennially tight and painful but Sani used a bit of compression, manipulation of my legs, and stretching to help loosen up my back. This is where he excelled as a therapist. My TL;DR is if you're an athlete and/or need to get specific parts of your body worked on due to injury, Sani is your man. He can help get that range of motion you lack back to your affected area. He reminds me of the sports massage therapists that works closely with a PT or chiropractor. I would trust him to get me back to competing in whatever sport I was in 100%. In terms of the run of the mill deep tissue/therapeutic massage. I thought he was still very good but not completely aligned with my preferences of smashing a trigger point into submission no matter how much pain it requires. Perhaps that's why this place is called Active Sports Massage. haha. Anyway, well worth the trip and the money. I'll be back when I'm on that side of the island.

Jiyuna is also very accommodating and flexible with scheduling, which I deeply appreciated given my hectic routine.

It didn't surprise me at all to learn that she previously worked at one of the best spas on the island, Halekulani.
