Every masseuse I've had has taken great care of me and been responsive to any vocalizations of problem areas. The best part is they bring things to my attention that I may not have even noticed and work it out. I used to come here regularly when I lived in Bham the first time years ago. To know they are still here with the same high quality service makes me happy each time I return.

I had heard so good things about this place so I called on a whim yesterday when I was feeling…read morestressed & got a 1 hour massage w "C C" . ( price is very fair 80$ an hour- there is a 4% surcharge to use cards, so bring cash to save & don't forget to tip I asked for a NMT ( Neuromuscular Therapy massage ) which is stronger than most - and CC didn't disappoint! I was surprised at how strong she was . CC used her arms as well as hands for a deep soothing , almost stretching at times massage . She even pulled my fingers and I felt them pop ! That was so relaxing! This neck thing she did by pulling upward was also amazing ! As someone else has mentioned - English isn't the first language here so there are menus on the wall when you walk in - you point at the amount of time you want , the different types of massage ( Swedish , hot stone etc ) be sure you are clear . There is a clock that has a timer in your room - and you do get the ENTIRE hour! (Most places give you 45 min .) if you want lavender or coconut oil it's an extra 10$ ( I am not big on scents so didn't add this ) It was honestly the best massage I've had in Birmingham! CC is amazing ! And there is a system to how she worked ( I tried to point out my shoulders hold most tension & not sure she understood completely- but she covered EVERYTHING! She used a warm oil at one time and even took care to make sure my hair was covered w a towel ) They have a massage here I've never seen offered elsewhere in Bham -where they walk on your back ! ( I noticed the bars over the table where they hold on as they do this I think a lot of men must like this. ) . I didn't want that because I'm a 63-year-old woman. I would definitely use CC again. ) I cant recommend this place highly enough- BUT you need to be very clear about what you want -because as I said, English is not their first language . Someone left a bad review and mentioned that it looked dirty. (?) and not fancy enough compared to a Bham spa -I can tell you they don't spend their money on fancy furniture , but it is in a nice part of town. ( Vestavia ) i prefer to spend my $ on the actual massage as I have had some very bad massages at some very " fancy " spas and hotels . The entire placd was clean & simple . They had a hygienic face cover in place for me to place my face on.- the room is dark and calming w zen music I saw someone said they didn't think these people were LMT but of course they are licensed I didn't have to look at the degree to tell CC had been trained as a LMT . I have had friends that visited here & recommended to me & Im so grateful. There's not much talking during the massage but I could tell she was reacting to my sounds or if I moved ( etc ) if I said " that feels nice ", it was a strongest massage I have ever had from a woman , but she didn't hurt me I asked for your "Neuromuscular Therapy Massage" ( NMT )which is much stronger than a Swedish . I have never had a better massage ! I will be coming back here regularly. They're a wonderful place and no , they're not "fancy "if you want to pay $100 extra to go to a spa - you do you ! I have been getting massages in Birmingham for the last 20 years and I can tell you this is by far the best massage I've ever gotten . I look forward to trying the hot stone, Swedish & a foot massage soon! It's very easy to find and parking is simple - I called and asked for a massage at 2 pm - I wasn't asked to to fill out a bunch of forms and I was taken straight back.

If you didn't, then you need to fix that! The new office is located in a cool spot downtown. Parking downtown may be an issue, but I haven't struggled with parking so far. The office inside is cool with high ceilings and relaxing atmosphere. Ryan has per se a calming personality, so it all adds up. Despite being, one would say, petite, Ryan can apply unbearable amount of pressure if you asked. She clearly focuses on good technique and knows physiology. Not by chance, she is great at isolating and working on single muscle bundles. For me, this kind of approach works great since it really goes down to solving problems of muscle contractions and rigidity. HIghly recommended therapist!
