I ain't here to just relax. My whole body is jacked up, but what sent me in was dull achey pain in my leg and sore feet. Cait actually LISTENED when I said my legs and feet hurt and that the whole right side of my body is way worse than my left side and concentrated on those areas. A lot of therapists elsewhere, too many really, ask you what's wrong and then do their same old same old thing. Was glad to find a place that actually helps you work on your pain. Made a second appt when leaving. 10/10 would recommend Mantis and Cait. read more

I'ver been having regular sessions with Kelsey for about 4 months now. I highly recommend Mantis and Kelsey. She has addressed my TMJ issues and springs me back to life after a week of less than perfect seating at my client sites, an ever-changing array of hotel beds and criss-crossing the country in airplane seats. Mantis has great facilities at both of its locations. The staff are well-trained and very professional, the scheduling system is a breeze to use, and the price point is exactly where it should be. Both thumbs up on this one. read more

Today I went and got a massage for the first time . Lindsay was my massage therapist . She was very professional and nice . She worked some magic because I can move farther than I could this am and with way less pain. I was in a car accident about two weeks ago and the pain has just persisted . This is one of the first times I have felt relief . I already booked my second appointment. read more

Mantis Massage - Massage Near Me - Austin, Texas

I bought a massage for my boyfriend here and he was booked with Kendra. He has literally never had a professional massage in his life; so I was pumped to see his reaction. He LOVED it. He said she was incredible and really worked out his shoulders and back. It was 45 minutes and only $59...which is extremely reasonable to me. We will definitely be back! read more

Amazing Ashiatsu massage for all the tight muscles in my back and legs. Extremely covid- safety friendly, with preferred cleaning practices in place. read more

I had my first ever prenatal massage with Khammi, Advanced Therapist. I came in feeling fatigued, tense and pain in my left side (sciatica) where it was painful to walk. After my massage with Khammi, I felt refreshed and the pain subsided. She was very pleasant and made sure I was comfortable throughout my entire massage. Cant wait to make this a reoccurring routine (after baby). Thank you again, Khammi for your wonderful service. read more

Hunter was awesome. Best massage I have ever had. Listened to my problem areas. Super clean and professional. Will be back forsure.

Lindsey was amazing. The way she uses her feet to find every nook and cranny is unusual, yes, but,also,very affective. It gives a much more flowing massage over a larger surface area than using the hands and her control of pressure is spot on. I wholly recommend her for a great therapeutic massage. read more

I had my first massage here and it was one of the best I ever had (and I had many many in the past)! My therapist was Khammi and she was sweet and very talented. The atmosphere is also very relaxing and from a logistical standpoint, there's plenty of parking so you don't have to stress about that. Their prices are also very reasonable and much better than other competitors in the surrounding area. I'm going to purchase the 3 session package which gives me a better deal and will be back to see Khammi! I highly recommend Mantis Massage. read more

I've been getting massages from Ramona. She's amazing! The pressure is always perfect and she communicates with me. The service exceeds expectations. Safety protocols are taken at every visit. read more

I went in for a 90 minute Swedish massage with Julia and she was amazing! I am two months postpartum and was in major need of relaxation and easing of my tired muscles. She made sure I was comfortable and relaxed the whole way through and adjusted her pressure until it was perfect. She also offered cupping, which I had never tried, and I actually really liked it. The atmosphere was calming and everything was clean and well-maintained. I am so pleased! I will definitely be going back to Julia! read more

Cori was awesome! I normally have back pain from lifting my toddler up and down, but she was great at understanding what I needed. Thanks Cori. read more

I love coming here for CST with Monica. My sessions are always so helpful, personal, and informative. I'm glad I've found my new go-to therapist in Austin! read more

I just moved to Austin and have been looking for a massage spot to try out and this was amazing!! Kendra was really great at giving me what I wanted (deep tissue). She was really attentive and always communicating with me to make sure everything felt awesome. The location itself was so cute! I loved the name as well because I'm a fan of Mantises :) try this place out! You won't be disappointed! read more

Went here right before my flight back home. Perfect end to an impromptu Austin trip. Everyone working there was really professional and the massage was amazing. read more

Lauren is amazing! I only had time for a 30 min session today and she was able to get in and get my shoulder pain released. She is awesome and very sweet!! I will go see her again. :) read more

Fantastic session with Katie! She untangled several problem areas in my upper back and shoulders. I highly recommend as a way to unwind--literally! I plan on coming back again when I need some productive relaxation. read more

I was drawn in by the name of the place, Mantis which i assumed referenced the matriarchal insects and their propensity to consume their counterparts after coupling. I can only assume thats what my LMT does in their free time bc they beat me up with the strength of several humans, turned up the heat on me, I was rolled out like a gingerbread man. I came in the place hobbling, a frozen potato I mean it- i had to be carried out on a platter with a ramekin of ketchup. Its a day later and I feel like a new person, really. Not feeling like a food metaphor anymore! Very nice staff, verrrry good value, especially considering the ease of booking and quality of the physical location. read more

My husband and I got a couples massage here while we were on vacation in Austin. The congress ave location was cute and relaxing. We both agree these were the best massages we've ever had! Melanie was my masseuse and my husband had Caitlyn who suggested he try cupping and it really helped him. Melanie was awesome and used a lot of pressure points which was great. We literally woke up the next morning sore from our massages, it was awesome! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone! If we are ever back in Austin we will surely make it a point to get appointments again. read more

Wow! I needed an emergency massage after landing in Austin for a business trip. I lucked out!! First, I must say that I am a massage connoisseur. I've tried all styles and have high standards. My massage with Lindsay at the So. Congress location was one of the best I've ever received. Hands down (pun intended). She uses a style called Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage. I've had some footwork done during other Shiatsu massages, but this was ALL feet. Such an interesting and effective way to get in there, especially in my upper back and shoulders. I wish I lived in Austin so I could become a regular. 5 stars!! read more

I recently strained my lower back while deadlifting and I was in pain for the past week and a half! I received a relaxing, deep tissue massage from Kelsey and I literally walked out of there with no pain at all. Her fingers were like MAGIC!!! She relieved my pain and also helped relieved some stress that I had been holding on my neck and shoulders. I highly recommend getting a massage from her! It was AMAZING!!! I am definitely going to go back when need be! Thier overall staff were super friendly and professional. read more

Outstanding massage. Krysten listened carefully to my issues then focused her work to address those. I have been experienced chronic low back pain and hip restriction. After the massage, what a world of difference; no pain! read more

Well, first off, I got turned around driving there and was late--ugh! Kendra put me at ease right away and did not make me feel embarrassed about that. She is VERY knowledgeable about muscles and connective tissues and explained where she was finding tension. She worked to an effective deep level without causing pain, as I have experienced elsewhere. I feel great! I was able to work afterward, which has not been the norm from other places--usually left feeling drained. I LOVE Mantis Massage and will be a return customer! Thank you, thank you, thank you. read more

I wish I could give even more stars!! I am extremely particular about my massages, and Khammi is hands down one of the top two therapists I've been to in Austin (and I have been to a lotttttt). She has the most amazing touch! She knows exactly where to press to relieve pressure and pain and uses the exact right amount of pressure. If you have any amount of tightness or pain in your back, neck, or shoulders, do yourself a favor and book a massage with Khammi ASAP, you will not be disappointed! read more

Julia was awesome and very well versed. Will for sure to make a visit next time I'm due for a massage.

Ella was amazing! I've never in my life received a massage and Mantis was great. I got the 45 min Swedish massage(light of course) and felt so relaxed. Fell in and out of sleep, awoke a few times, but overall feel so much better than when I walked in. I would definitely come back here and ask for Ella! She was tough but the results are worth the pain! read more

Love this place! The environment was quiet and relaxing. I had Liz for a 30 min deep tissue to work on some tension in my upper back and she was so sweet and welcoming from the minute I got there - the massage itself was incredible. I wish I had had time that day for a longer session! read more

Simple online scheduling process ALWAYS sells me on any business. I love that I can manage the appointment from a touch of a button, cancel within 6 hours, reschedule, etc. It also does not ask for credit card info upfront. I've been to both locations and they are clean, cozy, and provide a relaxing vibe. My last two sessions have been with Katie at South Congress. Her hands are like magic. She spends the time upfront to sit with me and feel out what I'm looking for each session, never assuming I want the same thing. I find she is able to tailor my session to meet my exact needs. My massages are short, only 45 minutes, so finding someone who can address and deliver my wish list in a short duration is essential. The massage rooms themselves, are comfortable and zen-like with dim lighting, soft linens (warmed up if you needed for colder days), and a little area to hang clothes/purse, dish for jewelry. Parking is never an issue either. I will certainly be back! read more

This was my second massage here at Mantis and it was so good!!!! Everything was perfect, the light music, the massage itself, the interior, etc. I have a lot of neck and back issues and I FEEL LIKE A NEW WOMAN. LOVE MANTIS!!! read more

My appointment with Monica was great. Super relaxing experience with a deep focus on the knotted areas. The cupping experience was new for me but it felt good. read more

I love the Airport location, but you have to follow your therapist! The new space is very cute, but it is a little tucked away. You need to turn onto the street right before you see it, because parking is in the back. You won't be able to park out front, where there is some other shop. I am excited to support this local business in its new location. read more

Loved, loved my visit! It was my first massage, and I couldn't have been more pleased! Very professional/friendly staff. My therapist made sure I was comfortable, and let me know what we were doing. Very inexpensive for what's given! I'd recommend to anyone looking for therapeutic treatment on a problem area or just a treat-yo-self day! Definitely will be a re-occurring client. read more

A completely lovely experience! Julia did an incredible job with my upper back! Really looking forward to going back next month!

I can't say enough great things about Melanie! I came in a total wreck-- and left feeling like a whole person again. Her energy will immediately put you at ease, and she knows exactly where to target based on your reported needs (for example: "this part of my neck hurts!" ::targets weird muscle in my arm:: "WHY DO I FEEL THAT IN MY NECK?"). She really knows the body, and helps you understand how each muscle group is connected. I read this from other reviewers, but follow-up care here is excellent. I really felt like Melanie's intention was not just to "fix" me during session, but to help me create a lasting care plan so that I could take better care of my body and mind. I've already booked my next appointment (which is something I typically procrastinate doing), and it's only 12 days, 22 hours, 36 min-- you get the idea-- away! read more

Melanie was amazing! Her touch had lasting results and she truly understood how to massage the deep shoulder and hip issues that many people skim over. If I lived in Austin I would come see her weekly. Great location and nice vibe read more

Julia gave me the best massage ever! She really cared about helping me. I like that she asked me questions and made sure I was feeling good throughout the entire 60 minute session. I had never done cupping before but she suggested it since my muscles were so tense. I really felt a difference afterwards! I already bought 3 more massages because I liked it so much. I highly recommend this place!! read more

This massage was a great massage. I've had a fair few massages and this one was indeed top notch. Katie listened to me during our consultation and gave me exactly what I asked for, which can be a rare thing it seems. read more

Hi! I am VERY picky about massage therapy, but I pulled my back moving and needed a last minute massage to relieve the pressure. Maureen was able to squeeze me in and was fantastic!! She was informative on some home remedies with stretching and flexing to work out the tension. I will be back!! read more

Michelle was a good therapist. The room was chilly even after the heat lamp was turned on which made it difficult to relax. I will surely give Mantis a try again. read more

A very nice experience. The place is very cute and welcoming! The massage itself made me feel very pampered and relaxed. Great first massage experience. read more
