I had endured debilitating trigger points in my neck and back for several years when I was referred to this clinic. I began using a TENS unit for temporary relief from the pain that IV drugs or surgery previously provided. My TENS unit was almost at the highest setting it could go and the only option I had after if it reached the maximum level was another surgery. I've had extremely good results with deep tissue massage at Massage Tao Clinic. And for the first time in years, my trigger points are almost completely gone, without receiving intravenous immune system suppressants or surgery. read more

was there today do to a sciatic nerve pain Everything was 100% good except by the time I was ready to check out I give $10 tip and she got upset because she told me was supposed to be more money for a tip WTH Since we are supposed to be forced to give more tips than what I wanted to give. So my question is what's a good tip amount?? I don't think I ever go back what a shame!! read more

Don't go here! I asked for a full body massage. They rubbed my back and legs. They never turned me over to rub the front of my legs . They didn't rub my hands my lower arms . Nothing! Terrible place I guess that's why they asks for money upfront so they can screw over there customers. This was on Friday November 7 around 2:30 pm . Stay away it's a scam!! read more

I have been going to another foot massage place near Bellaire and the beltway for years. Today I could not get in for a few hours so I tried this place. What a disappointment! The woman who did my feet seemed like she never did it before. She spent 25 minutes on my left calf between interruptions to go to the lobby when other customers came in! She never did my FEET! The man that did my friend was good, but we had to wait for him to get to the salon. Our appointment was for 2:50 on Saturday and we were the only ones there! That should have been our first clue! To top it off, the two massage therapists spent the whole hour talking to each other. Not exactly a soothing environment. I will never return here. read more

Massage Tao is the best massage therapy in all of Houston. I highly recommend the services offered here.

Tldr: I do not recommend. For the price point, you're much better off at massage heights or another standard massage place. Unprofessional and painful. I went here to stay local and because it had good reviews. It was rough. I have a lot of experience getting massages from different places so I had a lot to compare to at the same price point. It was a 60 minute massage. The place was dark, not in a peaceful way, but moreso cold. I also wasn't allowed given a choice of massage therapist even though i'd made an appointment in advance. I was told to wait in the room while someone assisted me shortly. I waited to 15 minutes before someone showed up. Then the massage started. The best way to describe the massage was amateur at best. Think of asking someone who has no experience giving massages. It was painful. He sat on the table and put all of his weight onto my back and rolled his arm onto my skin to the point where it felt like carpet burn. The whole time I was thinking "when will this end?", which is the last thing you should think during a massage. He also had his phone with him in the room and the ringer was on. The phone rang and he answered it! It was so loud I could hear the person on the other line (a scam caller). Then he kept getting texts, and he'd stop to text back. Totally unprofessional. Also, I understand people's language levels are different, and not everyone's first language is English, but none of the staff (two people total seemingly) knew how to speak basic English. This definitely made it a struggle to explain what areas I wanted to focus on. read more

The worst part about the whole experience is that I chickened out last minute and still gave them a tip ‍‍ The reviews are all accurate, from the talking to each other, the constant phone call answering, walking to lobbies, 30 minutes spent in on muscle and barely 2 minutes on the other one, it's horrible.... They charge $5.00 cheaper than Massage Envy or Heights, go to them, Stay away. read more

I'm not one to write bad reviews as I know how every business was effected with COVID. It was extremely awkward when I entered the message place. I was greeted awkwardly, she didn't speak ANY English. I asked multiple times where the restroom was and she could not answer. She just kept telling me to pay. Know one tells you where to go or what to do they just leave you in a room. If you don't get massages often, people don't always know what to do and want to feel welcomed and comfortable. I had made a reservation days before and when I entered she made it seem as if it was last minute. There was no music so you could hear the workers argue in a different language. The man who massaged me had no idea what he was doing and continuously burping. His phone was going off and all you could hear was the traffic outside. Honestly would not go back. It smelled and looked extremely outdated. read more

One day I was so sore from work and decided that I needed to get a message. That weekend I did so and looked up the one nearest to me which ended up being Massage Tao. I got a full body massage and it was a very great experience. The business was very well furnished, decorated in Asian style and beautiful relaxing music. The staff was very professional and the massage I received made my body feel relaxed right away. The price wasn't bad and I just happened to have my massage before 1PM which is the end of happy hour so my massage came out to be less. I will definitely come back more often. I recommend this business to anyone needing a message! read more

This is a scam. HORRIBLE SEEVICE. These people argued me down about the time I walked in and finished because I did not receive the full hour of service I paid for upfront before the service even began. I usually pay $25-30 for a foot reflexology service at other places but I decided to try this place because of the reviews and paid the $50. But I regret this 100%. I usually don't do reviews but I felt the need to. Do not go here if you don't have to. I was shorted in time and didn't get what I paid for. STAY AWAY. You can get better all around service somewhere else and probably a better price. The guy that did my service reeked of cigarettes and rushed through everything. I'm just so upset and don't want this happening to anyone else. TOTAL WASTE of my time!!! read more

I recently had a massage at this establishment with my wife it was by far the nicest each variance that I've ever Had. If you're in the area and you truly want to have a fantastic massage I can't over State how clean and professional this place Is. Treat yourself to an Asian delight drive this place for massage splashing for this by show location read more

I'm surprised this place gets such good reviews, maybe just mine was bad. I get weekly massages at home and am visiting from out of town so thought I'd try this place. I did a 60 min body massage. I asked for "hard" pressure but it became painful very quickly because she did not know the human body very well. I had to ask her to stop what she was doing several times because it was hurting, which I've never had to do before. She was raking over bones, putting hard pressure in super sensitive areas, and not really massaging my muscles much at all. I've also never had a massage where I wasn't flipped over. Overall she just had no idea what she was doing. This certainly wasn't worth $60 but what can you do. read more

One of the best massages I've ever gotten. She took her time and worked on the areas I needed. I honestly didn't even need to tell her because she could feel where the knots from stress were. Will definitely be going back again. read more

She made me pay up front, was looking over my shoulder at the tip, then said after I paid she's going to be slow. I couldn't really understand bc her English wasn't that good. She said she's not gonna try much or something. Then when I got undressed she just walked in and started rubbing me without any oils or lotion, very lazily. Literally just grazing over my skin at some points. Total waste of money. Afterwards she asked for more money and complained. Don't go there lol. read more

Decided to treat myself so I looked on Yelp and was surprised at the good reviews for this place so I decided to give them a try. This place is very cute and tranquil but for a foot massage it doesn't cut the cake. The lady was very friendly but 90% of the foot massage she focused on my legs which the pressure was too hard . When she got to the feet it was painful and I guess she could tell how I tensed up because she ask was I okay which I told her no I was not . Also If you're getting the foot massage and want privacy you won't have it unless , you're getting a body massage then you can go into the rooms . The price was good. I payed 20 for half an hour . Will I be back? I doubt it I may stick to my original place. read more

Went to this place with a friend who recommends it. IT WAS GREAT!!! We got a 60 min foot massage but it seemed that they did a whole body massage. It was so relaxing. As a person in thehealth care industry, being an RN and walkin gfor 12 hour shifts, it's important to take care of your feet. This was welcome relaxation for these feet. I will definitely be back. :) read more

It was my first time trying a NEW massage place in search for a more experienced masseuse technician. The massage I received was unlike any other I've ever experienced. As the session began it was surprisingly easy to relax and, thanks to their soothing music, I found myself imagining I was in the middle of a relaxing rainforest. The massage was so intensely great I thought only Cleopatra queen of Egypt would be receiving a massage like this (in 25 B.C.). Full disclosure: it felt like, probably, the toughest massage I have ever received. She ignored my attempts to motion for less aggression, but in the end it made my body feel glad (and relaxed). My suggestion, if their moves are too painful for you - tell them to use less pressure. Needless to say, I was extremely satisfied with their technique. I'm definitely going back soon! My experience had only one downside: I was asked to pay before the massage. I am used to paying after. I felt like I was not being given the opportunity to rate my massage and tip accordingly. If I was allowed to pay after I may have given a higher tip. read more

FABULOUS!!! I have had 2 massages in the past month with Julie. My first was so amazing, that I had to go a second time. She is a healer and has taken the pain away from my shoulder blades in my back. She is very knowledgeable on massage techniques. Their prices are very reasonable so this establishment provides high value. I found this on Yelp and have to share how wonderful they are. Just GO if you feel you are in need of a 5-star massage!! read more

My usual massage place is closed on Sundays so I found this place on Yelp. I've been meaning to write this review and keep forgetting until now. To give you an idea of what to expect, it's beyond basic but not 5 star fancy. The place is clean and most importantly, the masseuse gets the job done. I've been a few times and have gotten the full body massage and foot massage. The full body is in a private space so a lot more relaxing. Personal preference, I prefer the foot massage since it includes a mini full body session and for a better price. The foot massage is in a shared space, which is not bad. I can hear the door open from time to time and some dialogue being exchanged but I can still somewhat relax. The only reason why this is a 4 star and not 5 star is the inconsistency in the massage. This place assigns me a different masseuse every time. Some are good about asking if the pressure is okay and making sure I'm relaxed. Some will just do what they think I'll like. I've had versions that felt more like reflexology which is not bad but it's more of a painful good. It's harder for me to relax during it. This is minor but I think the amount of lotion/oil use makes a big difference too. When it's just right, it's a lot more relaxing. With very little or no lotion, I can feel the friction more and it's not as relaxing as I would like. Overall this place is decent. If you're looking for a place in the Klein/Spring/Champions area, it's worth checking out. If you're able to go before 1pm, you may get a $5-10 discount on your service. read more

I am always please with the massage here. Wendy can give real deep tissue which I like and also all parts from head to feet and even hands in between. Very nice inside including a nice shower as the outside is pretty low key. read more

I received a gift certificate for this place as a Christmas gift. I am so glad I went! I was so relaxed after the massage. It is very clean and they are really professional. They have a separate room for foot massage and body massages. It is quiet and they have relaxing music playing. I had a lot of tension in my shoulders and neck before I came in. When I left, my body felt loose and calm. Would definitely recommend. read more

I've been to a lot of spas, but this one definitely stands out. I didn't have an appointment but it didn't crest any problems. The massage technician was attentive to my pressure sensitivities which vary greatly depending on a body part. Every aching joint in my body received the welcoming treatment. I'd highly recommend this place for couples and singles, and your guests from out of town. read more

Had a 90 minute massage *added hot stone. My body needed some rest. Staff was awesome! She focused on my shoulders and upper back. Left feeling relaxed and not like I had mountains in my shoulders from all stress. read more

Very pretty and sensational experience. Beautiful displays inside and great pressure. I was in texas for a soccer tournament and just needed a quick massage to get me back in shape. At first I was questionable because of the outside appearance but after entering and experiencing it, opinions quickly changed. Super sweet staff and very professional. It's a unique massage, something different but pleasing. I highly recommend Massage Tao because of there excellent technique, welcoming atmosphere, and overall great massage:))) read more

Great massage! I went here and got one of if not the best massage I've had! My therapist was Rose and unlike most therapist she actually took the time to customize my massage for the pain that I was having. I will definitely be back! read more

Wendy, the owner is amazing, she listens and gets the right spot. I recommend her for a massage.

did not get a good massage here. the person that did the it had no idea what they were doing and just rubbed their elbow and forearm all over my back. half the massage was through a sheet. They smelled like cigarettes and carried on a full conversation with another employee while doing my massage. at the end of massage the employee left on a bicycle- obviously someone they brought in that did not normally work there and had no massage experience. read more

Always a quiet and tranquil environment. Although they take walk-ins, it's best to set an appointment due to COVID-19 restrictions.

A friend and I were looking for places this place popped up thought we would give it a try it's very clean and very good. And for the price for 2 you honestly can't beat. This place it's truly a get away I do not want to go anywhere else. Privacy when changing they don't rush you and don't hound you for tip A+ read more

Long review alert: I'm 15 months removed from a totally severed right achilles with reattachment surgery. I have nerve pain and stiffness in that area and my toes. Aside from this, my left achilles is so tight, due to over compensation, I had been afraid of it snapping as well. I thought that I would have limited mobility and pain for the rest of my life. My wonderful husband told me to try MASSAGE TAO. I did so and I feel like my pre-snapped self again. I got a 90 minute massage and the following happened: I walked in and was immediately greeted, paid for the massage, walked into a tranquil, dimly lit, minimalist room. It was clean with no weird smells and no weird build-up in the corners. The clean paper-clad massage table was in the center of the room with ample space to walk around. Overhead are 2 rails suspended from the ceiling. She directs me to undress and she walks out. I undress, she walks back in, asks my problem areas and my response was, "My whole back side is a ball of knots". This therapist is so good, she started at my feet, realized everything below my knees was jacked up, so she stayed there for one whole hour and the last thirty minutes everything above my knees got worked on. My nerve pain was gone for 2 days, my feet were no longer icicles for 2 whole days and my mobility improved so much that I actually felt like I could go for a run. OMG, I'm so thankful to my hubby and Massage Tao, I'm actually moving forward with an improved quality of life from physical therapy to massage therapy. GRATEFUL!!! read more

I will say the waiting area is tranquil. Other than that, my husband and I went to get a couples massage for our wedding anniversary. I was beat, my butt was not covered which I had to adjust multiple times. The man who did my massage actually got on the table to put his entire weight on my back and I could not breathe to tell him to stop. I have burns on my back from the hot stones. I never had warning for anything. Not to mention I made an appointment DAYS in advance and they were 45 mins late to get us in. He was rough and extremely unprofessional. It was THE WORST experience I've EVER had. Last but not least, I left a small tip and they followed me out to my car saying it wasn't enough. I had to argue with them over worse than poor performance for over 15 minutes. They had ruined our anniversary. The next day I couldn't even get out of bed. I tried stretching but it only made things worse. Oh and I PAID FOR A FULL BODY 90 min MASSAGE AND DIDN'T EVEN GET THAT!!!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!! read more

For relaxing , YES I do recommend this place. It was a nice relaxing massage BUT as I just said " it is just for relaxing ". I've been having neck and shoulder problems for about 15 years ( after a bike accident); and I've been getting massage from LMTs over 10 years. If you have a real problem with body and you need a massage to fix it or at least to make it feel better , then this place is a NO. read more

I've received two massages so far from here from two different therapists and they have both been the best massages I've ever had. They had lots of different packages like foot and body for an hour is 30.00, to full body massage with scrub, and any other type of massage you could want for. The inside is beautifully updated, clean, and relaxing. They have an amazing touch and every time I go they knead all of my knots out of my back. It's definitely worth the cost which by the way is very reasonable. read more

Massage Taois really the best place to get a Swedish massage with hot stones. I wish I could go every week! Great customer service and good deals from time to time. Julie is the best! read more

I've tried a few different massage places but keep coming back to Massage Tao. Their deep tissue massages are consistent and the masseuses always listen to my preferences. Julie was MAGICAL! She used very firm pressure as requested and I walked out feeling like a brand new person. I will definitely be going back. read more

Julie is the best! Look forward to seeing her once a week. She really knows her stuff, and other competitors in the area don't stack up.

Had an EXCELLENT visit today ! Been here now 4 different times. From soft - medium - now to hard message ( sports message) ( I take medium ) and each and every visit was excellent! Wendy took great care of me - I've tried one other therapist and I will go back for Wendy but I'm sure each will do the same if you talk to them. 1st visit nervous - 2nd was more talkative of what I wanted - when she listened I came back for 3rd. And today was what I needed - I walk a lot (retail mgr) like 8-10 miles a day - shoulder stress GONE - calf STRESS - gone - so relaxed - that I will continue to go back! As for the price ? 1-hour competitive - always TIP - to ensure good service is my motto ! I've got what I payed for. read more

First of all... Don't let the outside fool you! The interior is very nice, clean, and modern! I went in for a couples massage and it was very nice. We got an hour full body massage. I had a guy do my massage, and my boyfriend had a young lady. Disappointed that I didn't get the walk on the back experience that he did. I also wish they had more of an aromatherapy thing going on. Instead I could smell the breath of the nice man who did my massage, and could tell he's a smoker. Regardless, it was a nice experience. Very nice people! They should probably advertise and put pictures of the interior on their Facebook page. read more

My mom and I tried this place out for the first time. It's new and has a clean modern feel. It's not as cheap as others, but reasonably priced. We will be going back for sure! read more

This place is AMAZING!! They do such an amazing job with there massages, so RELAXING indeed. I've been here about 3-4 times. During Each visit I was pleasantly satisfied with my service, until......you get up to leave. Each visit no joke, they literally make you tip them. Once my 1 hour is over and i open up that room door to leave. It never fails that you have someone just waiting for you outside to ask "did you give tip already" Don't get me wrong I'm a person who in no way believes you should never tip for your services. It's the way they go about it. How uncomfortable they make you feel. Besides that though. The people there are friendly and attentive. GOOD LUCK.! read more
