If you're searching Yelp reviews for massage practitioners you either know the importance of touch therapy in self care, or are considering adding touch therapy to your care regimen. I can say unequivocally that Ayoola is one of the top massage therapists in the tri-state area. As someone who has suffered with sciatica, fibromyalgia, and nerve complications in my neck and shoulder; sessions with Ayoola have brought me more relief than treatment with chiropractors. My first deep tissue massage experience was so beneficial, it changed my overall approach to mind/body care. Living and working in both Philadelphia and New Jersey, I have had massage treatments at luxury spas, gyms, and commercial franchises. What you get in the client relationship with Ayoola is a caring professional who knows your needs, remembers your body, and recalls your ailments and problem areas. Ayoola's ability to retain information about a client's physical condition, and incorporate this into her course of care, is incredible. Every treatment with Ayoola is specific to your needs and the ongoing changes in your body. This is something you simply cannot get from a chain franchise. Ayoola has a gift, and each session with her is a blessing. She is growing her business aggressively, and gaining name recognition among executive and celebrity clientele. I highly suggest you book your appointment today. read more

Muscle Management Services is great! Every detail of my massage was carefully thought out and contributed to a relaxing, professional experience. Ayoola is a naturally warm and friendly person and demonstrated genuine care about my overall wellbeing. Massage hasn't been a part of my routine so I really appreciated that Ayoola clearly and thoroughly briefed me on what to expect throughout the process. I found the massage studio to be very inviting with a clean, professional, atmosphere. The best part was, of course, the massage itself. Ayoola's training and experience definitely show. The majority of the massage was very pleasant (it would be easy to fall asleep), but when a knotted muscle demanded more pressure, Ayoola was careful to check in to ensure any discomfort was ok. Beyond the great massage, Ayoola is an excellent conversationalist. There was no pressure to talk, but we wound up chatting throughout. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend Muscle Management whether you have some sort of tightness or injury you're trying to recover from, or are simply looking to treat yourself or a loved one. read more

My partner and I got a couple's massage and instruction session with Ayoola and I couldn't have imagined how wonderful it would be. From the start, she was warm and friendly and made us feel like we were in good hands. Our instruction was thorough and personalized, and we left with so much new knowledge about massage and the effects of massage on our minds and bodies (I was particularly interested to learn that massage can induce your parasympathetic nerve system which helps to heal and restore our bodies in so many ways). Beyond just teaching us massage strokes and how to work different muscle groups, Ayoola's positive reinforcement and all-around comforting energy contributed to us having a very connective experience and we got a great lesson in communication and attentiveness to one another's physical presence. Since our lesson, my partner and I have done at-home massages and have continued to feel connected in that way, and of course are SO much more capable of addressing each other's physical pain/tension effectively. read more

I'm a fellow massage therapist and I know a good touch when I feel it. Ayoola provides a clean relaxing atmosphere and is knowledgeable in her profession . I received a 2 hour massage because I really needed it! With that 2 hours, she is able to get to every part of my body and give it the love and attention it needs. She taught me about cupping which, to me, was a glass cup, some matches, and red circles on your back. She let me know the new and improved methods and how it can still draw out toxins without leaving that tell-tale mark. I wanted to leave with some anyway because I knew I needed the extra love. She actually made sure it was in a place that won't show or asked me what I'd be wearing for the next few days lol. So don't be scared of cupping because she is very careful and keeps an open line of communication to suit your needs. In short, if you were looking for a great massage with a caring practitioner, then Ayoola is your massage therapist. read more

I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and having severe back and hip pain. I was so uncomfortable that I needed help getting dressed. I scheduled an appointment with Ayoola and she sat with me and discussed my issues face to face (instead of shoving a clipboard in my face to fill out paperwork) to understand my main areas of discomfort. I can honestly say that after my massage, I am pain free. She is so knowledgeable, and in tuned with the human body that she knew exactly what to do to readjust the baby's position and releived my back pain. She even gave me a quick course in how to massage my own abdominal muscles for my stretching belly. I highly recommend Muscle Management to every pregnant woman dealing with the uncomfortable symptoms of pregnancy! read more

I just had a 2 hour massage, the specialty of MMS, and I don't think I could ever just do an hour again. Amazing is an understatement. The therapist not only took the time to ask about preferences and problem areas to address, but was also very personable at the same time, adding the "human element" that you don't always get when getting a massage. All of my stress and tension seemed to go away after visiting MMS, and I was so relaxed at some points, I swear I probably dozed off. The pace and pressure of the massage were perfect, and I left feeling completely rejuvenated...the best 2 hours of my week!!!! I would highly recommend, whether after a workout, a long day hunched over your computer or just to relax, MMS did not disappoint. read more

Here at Muscle Management Services, the name speaks for itself. As a heavy weight trainer, the attention to detail, targeting and isolating muscle groups, is exactly what my body needed to recover adequately so that I can perform in the gym. This wasn't just some rub down. my therapist Ayola new when and how to apply the proper pressure to each target area. Also she incorporated so stretching of the muscle tissue to provide added relief. Needless to say I found myself falling in and out of deep sleep. The atmosphere is so relaxing with the low lighting and aroma therapy, you feel instant relaxation and comfort. Truly the best massage experience I've ever had and will definitely incorporate regular visits as apart of my recovery process. read more

Ayola will sit down with you before hand and see if you have any issues what your diet is, this is all to help her know what is the best massage for you.
