A good massage experience overall. The technique was effective, and I left feeling refreshed. The only small improvement would be a warmer room. read more

Incredible hands! I came in with tension and left feeling light and calm. This massage exceeded all expectations.

Massage quality = OK/fair Business practices = questionable Today's $159 lesson: if you want to be reimbursed by insurance for a medical (doctor referred) massage, go somewhere that is equipped to bill and code for insurance. I was asked to pay up front and then make a reimbursement claim through my insurer. I did do that but the claim was DENIED because MDB "doesn't do coding." HOWEVER, My Insurance requires a diagnosis code in order to pay a claim. Make sure to check if YOUR insurer requires this code BEFORE you schedule or prepay for a session at MDB. And whatever you do, do NOT pre-purchase a multi-session "plan" unless you know FOR SURE where things stand with your insurance. The folks at the clinic are not at all interested in facilitating any dealings with insurers over reimbursement. read more

I had Alicia as my massage therapist today. I booked a 90 minute massage super last minute and they were able to get me in. The office is very clean, on the 7th floor of a medical building downtown. Alicia asked me what my problem areas were and really put in strong, intentional work. Most massage places I go to just rub my skin and don't target areas I really have issues. I walked out of Alicia's room feeling like a new person. Thank you Alicia, I will definitely be seeing you every time I'm in town! read more

This place definitely gave the ultimate treatment! I was in Seattle visiting family which I do from time to time. My back and body have been sore lately, especially after getting out of bed so I thought I'd try this place out. As soon as I walked in I felt very welcomed and I felt like everyone was so approachable. I also love the environment and the atmosphere. It had nice little touches. The massage was uh-maz-ing! My body felt so relaxed and not tense like it usually does. The massage therapist listened to my needs and did it at the pressure I requested. I had never slept better that night in a long while. And I didn't wake up sore either. This place definitely takes great care of their clients and have such great attention to details of their wants and needs. I definitely recommend massage mdb. When I'm back in town will definitely come back again. read more

Last minute book but thankfully in the same day! One of the BEST! Ulises is skilled! Really careful and mindful of all your problem areas. Good energy the whole time. Receptionist was super nice as well. Had a great experience during my time in Seattle. And a plus only to walk just a couple blocks from my hotel. I will be back! read more

Somewhat lengthy review but I want to be thorough, as I feel this was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Look no further, this is the place to go for a massage. I spent quite a bit of time on yelp reading reviews and trying to find the "best" massage which is clearly a subjective topic. However, I am SO glad I found this place. After browsing yelp for way too long, I was somewhat "over it" and just had to book a massage somewhere. I sort of blindly booked here, as there is not much information on their website and no introduction of staff. I booked with David, and was a little hesitant because the prices are a bit steep, BUT usually in my experience premium prices equal premium products, so I went for it. They have a small office in a large building, fully equipped for COVID. I was greeted by one of the owners who was super sweet and took the time to talk and get to know me. I filled out some paper work and was quickly introduced to David and brought to my massage room. THE MASSAGE - David was very welcoming and professional. He took a few minutes to check my balance and posture, which no LMT has done before to me, and I have had *dozens* of massages, almost never from the same place twice. I expressed some tension in various places of my body which we briefly discussed. The massage was genuinely unlike any other I have had before. David really worked into my scapula (chest/back muscles) unlike anyone has ever done before. I am 32 years old, very active at the gym and work on my feet 45 hours a week. The point being - my body gets beat up and needs recovery. David addressed all the issues and REALLY spent time in the areas I mentioned, not a quick once over like I am familiar with from other massages in the past. I WANT intense, deep pressure and David was able to deliver. He clearly is very knowledgable and passionate about what he does, he took his time and was very calculated and precise in his pressure. I wouldn't call it trigger point therapy but he definitely knew the spots to hit and how to position my body to open up those spots. Seriously the best massage I have had over my 10 years of experience. read more

I have been going to Ulises for about a year now and I'm not sure how my body functioned before that. He has a lovely demeanor, is smart about how to target tough areas that cause pain, and well....I think he is a miracle worker. read more

I have all sorts of issues with my back. Scoliosis, hyperlordosis, my hips are at different heights and constantly locked up. I've never been able to feel real relief from massage until I visited Alexander here. He really listened to me and even gave advice for behavior and postural changes post-massage, which have been helping immensely. It's hard to describe how I felt after this massage but I just felt more "stable". Still pain-free and it's been three days, which is unheard of for me. Additionally, as a women with history of SA, it is extremely important for me to feel safe in a massage environment. I've never felt safer and more respected than I have at this business! read more

A bit pricey, but a great massage experience. Need to use public transportation if you want to avoid parking garage fees.

Booked a last minute massage while on a business trip in the area - best decision ever! Jennifer was awesome. She listened as I shared my problem areas and then made sure to hit all of these spots (and a few spots I didn't even know were super tight). She offered great advice on how to find relief when a massage isn't always an option. If you have the option, book a session with Jennifer; you won't regret it! read more

Alexander, man. Wasn't expecting it. I think he has a connection with the body and he's strong enough to really get into places where my knots hide (I've only ever had massages from women before), using MOVEMENT instead of Just painfully deep pressure. I'm so glad I was desperate enough to try a male therapist for the first time! Also the receptionist was exceptionally sweet read more

I was so excited to see Massage MDB's new location. It is in the same building, but the new suite is much larger and so chic! The services continue to be top tier. I work nearby, so this is a perfect midweek luxury for an affordable price! Plus, gratuity is included so the price you see is exactly what you pay. Wonderful! read more

Excellent massages! Bestie and I got massages with Alysea and Ulisses. We were both incredibly impressed with the bodywork and presence. Thank you so much! read more

I have been visiting Massage MDB for a year, and Ulises has helped me recover from a very painful frozen shoulder. I no longer have pain, I have full mobility, and am now enjoying a monthly maintenance massage. I visited several other massage businesses trying to find relief from my pain and Massage MDB and specifically Ulises have been the only business that truly healed me. The online booking portal make it very easy for me to book my next appointment, sometimes within a couple hours. I can't say enough great things about the staff, the ease of scheduling, and the incredible results. Well worth the investment in my physical, mental and emotional health. read more

Never really felt relaxed or comfortable. They also kept rubbing my shoulder bone and not the muscles.

I had a massage with Manny yesterday and it was one of the best I've had this year. I needed a super deep massage and he did such a great job and it was exactly what I needed. I'll be back for sure. read more

I highly recommend Massage MDB. It is a small, single massage therapist operation. The room is comfortable and quiet. Sheila has 17 years of massage experience and I could tell. The pressure was perfect. I must say I was a bit leery given the small size of the business and small number of reviews. I should not have been. I feel I got a much better massage than I would have at a larger, glitzier business. I booked online-very easy, paid upfront and got text and email reminders. read more

I have a busy schedule and a lot of times trying to schedule a massage is a losing battle for me. However, they have a great online booking service and I was able to get a great, late last minute appointment which never happens and I had a great experience. The owner was super nice and Judy was incredible! Highly recommend. read more

What a fabulous experience. I am on vacation, and came down with a migraine that I just couldn't shake. I didn't want to ruin my whole trip, so I figured I'd try a massage. She was wonderful, very fairly price. I would have laid there for days! Absolutely worth it. And she was even able to get me in on a same day appointment. That's the best part! read more

I had a fantastic massage today. I've been getting athletic massages for five years now, and I have to say that after all the massage therapists I've tried, this place did an amazing job. I'd recommend it to anyone who works in a very physical job, has had injuries, or is an athlete; pretty much anyone who is interested in a healing experience. There are no perks like a sauna or steam room, but the talent and the skill of the therapists make up for it. read more

Lucky find - I travel a lot and end up getting massages in various cities around the world to various degrees of satisfaction, but MDB was awesome!! My neck and shoulders are always scrunched up and sore from sitting at my laptop and my hips sore from sitting on airplanes, but I left my massage feeling so much better. It was a different setting than I'm accustomed to - a small "office" in an office building downtown, not a typical spa experience but if you're looking for someone to get the knots out then this is your spot. I made the appointment on their website the day before, super easy and all pre-paid so no hazy payment process afterwards. Highly recommended and hope to make another appointment before I leave town... read more

this sounds cheesy, but it's real - run, don't walk, to get a massage here (specifically with Ulises). This place is very well run peaceful oasis in the middle of downtown, everyone is so friendly, and I am beyond grateful I found it. I've been going for over 6 months now with their monthly membership and I could not recommend it more for your mental AND physical health. I hesitated spreading the word outside of my close friends in the city as I didn't want to let the secret out, but I think everyone needs to know how awesome this place (and Ulises) is, and getting a massage / membership here is honestly going to be the best thing you could do for yourself right now thank you Massage MDB (and Ulises!) for always taking such great care of me! read more

Beautiful spa suite, convenient location, and skilled massage therapists! I had a relaxing and therapeutic 90-minute massage with Michelle, who was highly knowledgeable about hip issues. She worked through my stiff muscles, and I left with a spring in my step. The facilities are both luxe and immaculate. The staff was highly attentive to COVID19 protocols so I could enjoy my massage with peace of mind. read more

I went to Massage MDB for the first time this week and had an incredible experience. Alysia, my masseuse, was very friendly and professional. Monty at the front is kind, too. Great customer service and a very peaceful environment. read more

Had the worst massage of my life here, went in for stress relief, came out needing a chiropractor visit and a follow up massage elsewhere. First of all, prices are high, and I had to pay for parking (which I would be ok with if the massage was good). Was notified a spot opened and I could upgrade to 90mins, sure no problem, usually I end up wanting more table time. To the massage, asked for medium pressure which turned out to be too much, so I let her know, and it was still painful. I get massages/acupuncture/chiropractic care frequently, and the body work was terrible, just awful. On top of being painful and not relaxing, she hardly used lotion, so there was a lot of painful tugging. Also you can hear the garages near buy exit signals throughout. I mean take your chances if you want, I would highly recommend skipping this spot. read more

I have regular bodywork done in my home town, so I know what a good massage is about. I was visiting Seattle for a few days, and for whatever reason my back was in knots. First, making the appointment was so easy. I used Yelp to contact MDB, and got a response back almost immediately. Samantha, who did the work, was great. Intuitive to what needed to be done, super friendly, and tuned in to what I needed. I also love that the financial transaction is taken care of before the visit, so there's nothing to worry about during the session. I think I'll add this to my "must-do's" whenever I visit the Emerald City! read more

I've been to MassageMDB four times now and completely satisfied on each occasion, and with each practitioner (Shiela, Nevin, and Eric). This is super convenient if you work downtown, and more importantly, the staff is top notch. Highly recommend checking them out! read more

PHENOMENAL!! Genuinely the absolute best massage experience I have ever had. We had a group of ladies in Seattle for a bachelorette party and Monty arranged for all 8 of us to be taken care of. Each of us thought it was one of if not THE best massages we have ever had. And to top it all off, Monty had sandwiches and treats waiting for us so we could keep the celebration going while parts of the group were getting their massages. THANK YOU, MONTY! Absolutely amazing experience If youd like a massage in Seattle, this is the place to go! read more

I was traveling from out of town and always try to see if I can manage to schedule a massage. I selected MDB based on the Yelp reviews and the proximity to my hotel I was able to get a 90 minute session at MDB and was not disappointed. When you travel I have found it to be a hit/miss proposition. This was the best massage I have had in any of my travels. I would highly recommend for anyone traveling and staying in a downtown location! read more

Set up an appt 3 days before and get there a few minutes early to be told that somehow the system double booked me and another person and I got bumped cause somehow I'm not on the schedule even though I have an email confirming. Mind you I drove from Kent which is 30 minute drive and paid for parking. I don't blame the masseuse at all. His manager calls and tells me the appt I made showed up canceled 30 minutes after making the appt and I have two accounts showing: he can't confirm this is true. It's not true. Instead of apologizing for the inconvenience and offering something like a free massage or a great apology, he just says sorry and can we reschedule. Hell no!!! Terrible customer service and if you decide to make an appt you might want to confirm ahead of time. The masseuse stated this isn't the first time. Worst thing too is they bill you in advance. Worst customer service I e ever experienced. read more

I struggle with chronic planters fasciitis and hip pain. I have for years. I've been to many podiatrists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, etc. no one has ever been able to help me with the chronic pain until I found DB. Just two massages and all of those symptoms that I listed have eased up about 25%. And that's after only two massages! This is definitely therapeutic massage so if you're looking for a swanky relaxing Massage I'm not sure that you'll be happy. But this place is amazing. I highly recommend it. read more

This is what I needed during my lunch break! I have issues with my back, neck, and shoulders (these areas have a tendency to form knots). I was experiencing a lot of discomfort at my desk and was looking for a solution. I work downtown and noticed that Massage MDB was conveniently located on Olive (5-10 minutes walk for me). I booked a massage and when I arrived Sheila greeted me and we had a discussion on what areas to focus on. She was able to work out the knots and by the end of the massage I felt so much better. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who works downtown for a relaxing massage during a break or anyone in need of a good massage. I'll definitely be back! read more

This massage was the best and most impactful I had in a very long time. Tamikia is such a knowledgeable, patient and kind person and her massage helped me tremendously to feel so much better. I suffer from migraines and tension headaches so massages can be super helpful or just the opposite - this one was pure pain relief. Tamikia shared some exercises with me at the end that Were new to me and that I added to my daily routine. I can highly recommend this place and will definitely become a regular. Thank you! read more

Amazing! I called on a Tuesday with a pulled back muscle and Massage MDB got me right in with Tamikia, who gave me a very interactive PT-like massage. She helped release all my tight muscles from my hips to my neck. Such a wonderful deep tissue massage and overall experience. I'll definitely be a repeat visitor. read more

Not a good morning for me or Massage MBD. The issue is business practice rather than quality of service. I called Massage MBD because of an injury. I'm visiting Seattle and found this business through the map service on my phone. I made an appointment for the next day. When I realized I could not make this appt, I called to cancel and explain. I was told by a different reception person that I cancelled less than 24 hours and the policy is on the website. I pointed out I did not go through the website and there was nothing on the map app listing; I just pressed the number. I was not informed of the cancellation policy when I made the appointment. In trying to clear things up, I said I would come if I could. I arrived 20 minutes ahead. Door was locked and no one was here. I called and the reception person said she thought I cancelled and told the therapist not to come in. The receptionist could not make a business decision. The owner was not reachable until afternoon, though the receptionist had a number for him. My flight leaves midday. So I'm out the cost of massage and gratuity, with no apparent recourse. I have a 24-hour no refund policy for my business, but accommodate special circumstances. All I can think is, despite the ratings that got my attention, business can't be that good. read more

Massage MDB - Massage Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Massage MDB was definitely a 5-star experience. I opted to have my massage at the downtown Seattle location, which is very convenient and the treatment room is pleasantly quiet, even as it sits atop the hustle and bustle of urban life. I ran a few minutes late heading into my appointment right after work, but Sheila greeted me with a warm smile and instantly made me feel relaxed. Her calming presence allowed me to take a deep breath and get settled. The treatment itself was excellent! Her pressure was strong and firm, which is how I prefer my massages, but she was very receptive to adjusting pressure and technique based on any feedback (I didn't really have to give any, so all the better!). The table was heated, linens soft and fresh, and there were even some really nice touches that I haven't really experienced in previous massages, like hot towels during and after the treatment to refresh the skin and absorb excess oil. All in all, I would highly recommend Massage MDB to anyone who needs to decompress and enjoy a little rejuvenation. It's well worth it! :) read more

Second massage today with Erik. In one word: fantastic! I've received many massages over the years and Erik's neck work is incredible. I started on the table with an all-day pounding headache and got off the table renewed. You can immediately tell he is skilled and a deep knowledge of musculature. A five star experience. Thank you! read more
