I just "won" the lottery that allows me to run the 2013 Houston Marathon. I've done this before so I know the score - I'll need someone to unknot my body-in-training after those long weekend runs in the fall and winter. In pursuit of a solution (using Massage Envy is a bit like playing Russian Roulette here) I started to "audition" massage therapists. I first looked for a convenient location near where I work in the Galleria Area and found that the first Google search result for "Houston massage" was Houston Massage by Sonya. I inferred from her website that at least she knew what she was talking about and scheduled an appointment via her online tool. I was more than pleased when, two days later, she got her hands on me. In the big scheme of things for a 53-year-old, I'm in pretty good shape, but she immediately sensed and understood where my trouble areas were (a minor misalignment of the pelvic girdle and somewhat shortened deltoids) and modified her approach accordingly. The massage was simultaneously effective and pleasurable, a result that more often than not does not occur when the therapist is working with deep tissue. I definitely know who my go-to-girl is going to be when my Marathon training starts in earnest. P.S. You might want to discover for yourself why she is known as the "Goddess of the glutes..." Note: As of the date of this review (10-Jul-2012), the map showing the location in Yelp is incorrect. She is located on the Southbound access road of the West 610 loop between San Felipe and Westheimer. The visitor parking is free there.

I have been coming to John at Massage Therapy for a few years now, and he's amazing! I come here…read morebecause of neck / shoulder / upper back tightness from work and probably poor posture, and he's able to relieve me from all of that each time. They specialize in neuromuscular massage, so don't expect a spa-like experience with the usual Swedish massage. It starts off with a simple massage table in the office which is decorated with sports memorabilia. You keep your clothes on, a bedsheet is draped, and then he works on you through the bedsheet to your muscles. But like a spa, there's relaxing music playing (through a CD player!), and I usually end up dozing off at some point because the massage feels so nice. Afterwards, I always feel relieved of my tightness-- so good! John is obviously very good at what he does, understands anatomy, and accommodates to preferences (pressure, focusing on specific areas, etc). His clients range from well conditioned high school athletes (and of course Carl Lewis) who come for performance and recovery, to "normal" people like me with a bit of stiffness, to others with chronic pain or problem spots. He is also a really friendly man with an old soul and a good heart. MT and I have told so many friends about him and some have become regulars. His other team members also offer the same neuromuscular massages, and his wife, Ellen, offers physical therapy too. And if you're lucky, you might meet the pet bird, Dexter! He's a sweetie :) You can choose sessions from 30 min to 2 hours long. Definitely pricey-- 1 hour for $110, but it's definitely worth the money (health is wealth!). I wanted to keep Massage Therapy a secret but they deserve the love and 5 star rating over and over. They're located in a professional office building with ample parking, so definitely give them a try if you're looking to relieve your tightness or pain !

That's the one thing about going to a spa that just bugged me! The massage therapist would walk in and ask "is there any place bothering you? Any area you want me to focus on?" And then wouldn't focus on it. Insisted on rubbing my feet for crying out loud. Not here - You tell them where it hurts, and how long you want them to work on it. And THAT'S what they do. Now, it isn't always pleasant because they get after it! But afterwards, it's amazing!!! I had Anastasia work on my shoulders. My chiropractor was at her wits end trying to fix them. A couple of appointments with Anastasia here, and BAM, all better! Sooooo happy I found them. Found them on the Internet for goodness sake's. And boy, I have not looked back.

He went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable and reminded me to let him know if he needed to scale back with his hands. Walking out I felt like I was 20 lbs lighter.

I ran into Mary when she was offering free 5 minute chair massages. I noticed an immediate difference in how my neck felt and felt I could trust her with working on my back. I must say I am really appreciative of the work she has done on me. My back and shoulders thanks her every time. Btw she is also very knowledgeable about the anatomy and how the body works.
