Received a terrible sports massage today from Nova Therapeutic ~ Courthouse. I put in my intake…read moreform that I am an athlete & have a race coming up in four days. I asked for and booked a sports massage & firm pressure. I did not put down my specific areas in intake form b/c I feel as though ppl don't read them. I prefer telling the massage therapist what is going on. I did. The therapist came in, did not introduce herself. Nothing. I said; "my hips are tight, I believe it's my psoas and lower back and glutes". "Can you spend time on my right hip" She kept massaging my back. okay, I thought.. she will work her way to my leg. NOPE. I asked again. Can you please massage my legs, esp my lower back and hip. She rubbed my neck. I repeated my self... my legs. She rubbed my head. After the fourth time, I gave up. So pissed off. Massage therapist did not speak English so did not know what I was even saying. I found this language barrier issue out when I told the front desk and manager that I was upset b/c she did NOT give me a sports massage. Manager responded. Can you stay and we can work your legs now. I said; NO. I have to go and I don't have time to get undressed again. So annoyed. They gave me a gift cert. Why would I go back to a place that provided crappy service to begin with. Worst massage place I have ever been to. As an athlete that has been to a number of massage establishments ~ waste of time & money. Do not recommend if looking for good sports massage.

Got a half hour massage and facial from Maggie. But I didn't know her name until I was finished…read moreand came out to pay and asked the receptionist, cuz Maggie only said about 4 words to me during the hour. She never asked about pressure. She never asked what I wanted. It was bizarre. The massage felt very "phoned in" and not at all specific to my muscles or needs. A large part of it was just general "rubbing" through the sheet. When she finally got the oil out, even when I could feel her hit a ropey muscle (and she could obviously feel it too) she just skipped it and kept the general rubbing. The scrub and facial were better, but oddly she left the room twice without telling me. I thought I heard the door, which was strange, and finally after about a minute I looked up to find myself alone in the room. Never had that before in a massage or other service. When a person came back and started up again I had no idea if it was her or someone else. And she asked NOTHING about my skin - dry, oily, sensitivities... She didn't know I had contacts in (I wondered if I should tell her, but it was so oddly quiet...). She did know my age (wouldn't she need to know that to know what types of things to use??). But now that I think back on it I realize: they use the same products on everyone I bet. One scrub. One oil. One cream. One lotion. One lip treatment... Nothing at all personalized. My partner got an hour massage and sadly, felt the same. His therapist also never introduced herself. In fact, she never said a word. For both of us, it was clear the therapists had not read our intake forms. The whole place is very "factory-like". While I waiting for my partner to finish, the receptionist assigned a therapist to a massage by saying, "Room one - new client". No name. No details. No info. Not a great experience. Not worth the price. My partner just came up with a great description of the experience - it is like a CAR WASH where you roll up, put your car on the tracks, and roll through. Every car treated the same, rinsed and scrubbed. The car wash of massages.

Wonderful massage with Recon!…read more The entire facility is so cute and cozy, covered in absolutely gorgeous Thai decor. Vibrant and colorful fabrics and tapestries. Lots of elephants, of course. They also had contemporary jazz renditions of Christmas music playing in the background, which I much preferred to the same old songs they play on the radio over and over again. Recon and Boom were both so warm and welcoming. Boom took my shoes and offered me tea as Recon prepared the room for my service. The massage experience was a little different than the traditional massages that I'm used to but it was so incredibly relaxing. It's performed on a heated, plush mat on the floor, instead of a massage table but there is a headrest as well as a chest pillow provided. I've been to spas before where they have offered both massages and therapeutic stretch sessions. Thai massages offer the best of both worlds... without booking two separate services. I got the Thai herbal massage experience. It started with a brief foot bath and foot massage before I took my place on the heated floor mat. Throughout the experience, Recon alternated between stretching, massage, walking on my back (don't worry, He used the walker to make sure he didn't put too much pressure on my muscles and joints), and using a bouquet of herbs to help relax my muscles. When I first stepped into the room, it was a little bit humid. That's because there was a pot of herbs boiling in the room, and those same herbs were what were used to prepare the bouquet for my massage. Recon also used the spa's version of Tiger Balm on the spots where I was experiencing the most stiffness, and I felt amazing afterward. It smells more like Vicks than the traditional Tiger balm, and they wipe it off with a hot towel before the end of your massage...so you won't go out into the world smelling like liniment. That 60 minutes went really quickly and afterwards all I wanted to do was lay on that heated floor mat and take a nice long nap. Boom brought me more herbal tea as I returned to the lobby, and I had a nice chat with her while Recon tended to his next client. Before he left, Recon bagged up the herbal bouquet from my appointment for me to take home, and gave me instructions on how to use it. Nice! Both Boom and Recon are just so lovely and helped to make this a really wonderful experience... One that I look forward to enjoying again very soon.

I had wanted to check this place out, but the person I was with had other plans. Nevertheless, I saw the cost for your massage. One hour for $80 is a little step. I have paid this price before, but I think I will stick we with $60 to $50 an hour. Still, I am happy to see the prices on your website. You are taking your website business more seriously than others I have seen. I will be checking this place out this year of 2025 I look forward to being able to write about the massage experience and other features inside this building.

The location is aromatic and clean. The receptionist is friendly and inviting. The massage therapist, Sunny, was amazing!!
