She was extremely knowledgeable about neuromuscular therapy and quickly identified and treated the trigger points that had been causing me chronic tension and discomfort. The level of relief I felt after just one session was amazing--deep, targeted work that actually made a difference.

Highly recommend for anyone dealing with tight muscles or chronic pain! She keeps her office clean and well maintained as well.

Amazing hand strength to get the deep tissue problems I have been having in my shoulder. Loved she had a great knowledge of the muscular configuration and tendons in that area and could work each one out so it could heal faster. Seriously, no person should have hand strength like this. I asked her to come to my house and open all my jars! She offers hot stones and cupping - which I may try on my shoulder at another session. Massages can be relaxing or therapeutic or both. Mine was quite a work out and I do fel it here the next day. But I know the vigorous deep massage I got will make my body wake up and feel better. I like the fact that she is in an office with a chiropractor and acupuncturist. It makes me feel as though she is part of a complete healing clinic. I will keep my massages like this a ritual along with my yoga and walking to keep my body healthy, for sure!

I just "won" the lottery that allows me to run the 2013 Houston Marathon. I've done this before so I know the score - I'll need someone to unknot my body-in-training after those long weekend runs in the fall and winter. In pursuit of a solution (using Massage Envy is a bit like playing Russian Roulette here) I started to "audition" massage therapists. I first looked for a convenient location near where I work in the Galleria Area and found that the first Google search result for "Houston massage" was Houston Massage by Sonya. I inferred from her website that at least she knew what she was talking about and scheduled an appointment via her online tool. I was more than pleased when, two days later, she got her hands on me. In the big scheme of things for a 53-year-old, I'm in pretty good shape, but she immediately sensed and understood where my trouble areas were (a minor misalignment of the pelvic girdle and somewhat shortened deltoids) and modified her approach accordingly. The massage was simultaneously effective and pleasurable, a result that more often than not does not occur when the therapist is working with deep tissue. I definitely know who my go-to-girl is going to be when my Marathon training starts in earnest. P.S. You might want to discover for yourself why she is known as the "Goddess of the glutes..." Note: As of the date of this review (10-Jul-2012), the map showing the location in Yelp is incorrect. She is located on the Southbound access road of the West 610 loop between San Felipe and Westheimer. The visitor parking is free there.

I was definitely overdo for something like that, and he did a great job alleviating some of the soreness and kinks that I had going. I crossfit and am currently training for a half marathon, and he catered to those things perfectly. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to the anatomy of the body, which is evident not only through conversation with him but throughout the massage as he finds areas that need more work than others, are to tight, or are problem areas for you. I highly recommend Greg for massages of all kinds, and specifically if you are an athlete of any kind. I look forward to enjoying a relaxing Swedish from him soon!

Having major surgery in November actually made it all the worst having to stay in bed for nearly two to three months. And then Covid hit...um, Let's just bypass that entire conversation. I have been craving specialist who can really dig in deep without the high pain and relieve that tension for good. Not just a quick fix. I had a really good chiropractor before my surgery that I loved but, the pain, of course, always comes back. Found Ben Monday via Yelp and continued researching and reading the reviews on google. Everything I read seemed in line with what everyone else was saying. They were all really good things. The fact that Ben wasn't going to give a relaxing massage is exactly what I desired. Booking was super easy and I went yesterday. He was not what I expected. Though professional in his knowledge, he has a really great and shining personality. I can't wait to grow our rapport and get back to a healthy and functional me. The wisdom he shared regarding what triggers what and what needs to be released and adjusted where was really eye-opening to me. It all let me know that I've been really hard on my body for the past few years (especially since I don't remember the last time I even stretched)! but, what gave me great hope is that Ben has no doubt in his mind or expertise that I can get my body back where it needs to be. That is so important to me. Looking forward to our next section next week!

DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR. Here's what I experienced: 1- First keep in mind they are on the SECOND floor and you have to climb 2 sets of metal stairs to get to them.
