Peter thank you for taking care of me during my massage. I feel much more free in my movement now. He noticed some tension on the left side of my back and he made sure to completely work out my stress before I left. I'm super appreciative of the attentiveness displayed during my session. read more

Totally Amazing walked in with super bad headache and a lot of back pain. Micheal did my massage. He was totally amazing. By the time I left I felt fantastic. I was able to sleep that night & still felt good next AM . Did 45 minute massage BUT in 45 minutes Micheal could accomplish more than other massage therapist accomplished in 2hours. I never felt rushed just felt Heavenly. I've been in pain for 45++ years & I get massages usually weekly But only get Relief while I'm actually being worked on . Michael's massage on the other hand was able to relieve my extreme pain and I could feel my muscles and spine hard to finally relax & sleep that night & Still feel good the next day Totally Amazed. I can't wait to get next massage. I highly recommend seeing Michael. He is amazing and knows exactly what to do and how to address your pain issues that you have ‍. He's Very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and it's a relaxing atmosphere.I rate it 10+ for sure Kathy M‍ read more

My favorite spa when I am in the Jacksonville, Fl area. Talented masseuses who are delightful to talk with. Comfortable clean rooms with comfortable massage tables, complimentary Korean style shower, lots of convenient parking and competitive pricing. You won't leave the spa disappointed. read more

Wow. Cindy was amazing. I've had so many massages but she is in the top! She hit so many joints and also did stretches. I got the hot stone for 90 minutes and it was wonderful. So so nice and so glad I found this. I'll definitely be back. read more

Oba Massage - Exterior - Massage Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Oh man! I'm so glad my friend hooked me onto Oba Massage. Peter/Anna/Cindy/Amy are all amazing massage therapist with their own style and techniques of performing massages. Called the day of and was able to get a foot massage as well as a back massage. The owner Peter is very nice and his staff the same. My body felt amazing afterwards. I understand not everyone's experience is the same but I definitely recommend OBA Massage. Looking forward to going back. read more

I called on Sunday night and was able to get an appointment within an hour. I had an amazing experience. First, the business is clean and comfortable. The music was peaceful and relaxing (piano concertos not zen). Second, the young woman at the counter explained pricing and how I could mix it up (part foot part full body). I opted for one hour full body for $60. I bring my own lotion bc everything else gives me hives and they did not mind. Lastly, the woman that gave me a massage was very well trained. I believe she could feel my aches and pains and concentrated on those areas. Her hands were magical. It was just the right amount of pressure. I was very relaxed. I dont know how I drove home! I highly recommend this business. read more

Had a 1 hr reflexology massage done. Peter did a great job, the pressure was firm and the environment was relaxing. Highly recommend!

Oba Massage is fabulous! The place has been redecorated and looks great. Peter, the owner, is very nice and all therapists are very competent and attentive. I always feel better after a foot and/or body massage at Oba! read more

Only get a foot massage. It's now the day after I got a foot/body massage combo and my body is in so much pain. I really think they could hurt someone. I get massages often and this was just a crazy experience. This lady had no idea what she was doing. She got on too of me and pressed on my spine. She folded my ears in and pressed (why??) they still hurt so badly. My ear is aching still. Someone is going to get hurt there's no way these masseuses are licensed. Just get a foot massage if you go- that was pretty decent and didn't leave lasting pain. read more

This place is great! I got a one hour reflexology massage - I came in with a jammed toe joint that kept coming and going and it hasn't acted up since! I can't remember the name of the man that took care of me but he did an amazing job and I felt very comfortable there! read more

After reading the reviews and suffering from foot and neck pain for a few months I decided to bite the bullet and chose this place because of their open pricing info online as well as their extended hours. I called Sunday morning and made an appt for only two hours later but they had even sooner availability. This place is right near my house so figured why not. I had the intention of doing a combo massage and asked if I could do foot and chair rather than foot and body. I didn't know if I would be comfortable getting naked on my first time here. The receptionist happily obliged. When I got there she did actually sell me on doing the combo foot and body and I was the only client there so decided why not. It was actually $5 cheaper and I'm a sucker. The ambiance is very relaxing with piano music rather than enya which I appreciated. The lights are dim so even when another client came I still felt privacy. They also cover your head and body in warm plush blankets so you feel even more protected. The chairs the foot massage in were amazingly comfortable and they start with a foot soak and head and neck stretch. The foot massage was very nice and I didn't feel the need to ask for a harder rub but probably would in the future. I didn't want to overdo it my first time. I would highly recommend the foot massage. The reason this isn't 5 stars is the body part. The rep I had was Wendy and there was a language barrier even though she tried her best. I had some difficulty communicating when she was being a little too hard on my back and it actually hurt a bit but I am not in any pain a few hours after so I think it was probably fine just uncomfortable at the time. Once I told her it was too rough she did ask me several more times ifthe pressure was ok which I appreciated. I had told the receptionist I wanted to focus on my neck and the top of my shoulders and whether she didn't communicate with Wendy or if I should have told Wendy myself I'm not sure but I don't feel my neck got much work. She didn't actually massage it at all during the body massage. Overall I am feeling very relaxed and the pain in my neck is gone for now so I'm sure overall the back massage helped. I will be going back to try the chair massage which specializes in the neck and shoulder area though. I think a body massage is just not a good fit for a big chested girl like me which I don't fault them for. read more

I went to Oba for a reflexology treatment and ended up selecting the 30 min foot and 30 min body massage combo. I've been under a great deal of stress and Lucy was my therapist. She was amazing. I am a massage therapist and have been trained in Thai Massage and Thai Foot Massage. I recognized some of the techniques used. The body massage was amazing. Nothing like any kind of massage I've had before. It was very effective. Deep (I asked for medium pressure and got what I would consider deep tissue, but Asian massage pressure is always stronger than American and I knew that). Lucy targeted my sore areas perfectly. She gave a very professional and thorough and effective body massage, and I felt comfortable the whole time. The foot massage as equally as great. I'll definitely be back!!! read more

I love this place. Have been twice and both times were last minute walk-in or schedule and still 5 star service (the 2nd time I actually went because a massage I had earlier that day somewhere else did absolutely nothing for me and I was still in so much pain from stiff joints and knots on shoulders (from sitting at desk long hours) as well as lower pack pain due to herniated discs from auto accident. I also have a very high tolerance for pain and won't benefit from a deep tissue unless the pressure is slightly uncomfortable at times. I've also had tons of massages at some of the nicest spas and currently have monthly membership to a popular chain, but there's NOTHING like a good ole fashioned last minute notice Asian massage where they aren't afraid to treat you like a rag doll and get more surface area/stretch more/include hot stones/etc. Can't go wrong here and prices are fair. read more

Wonderful chair massage experience. Body work requires you to strip down a bit and lay down - foot reflexology does not come with ANY shoulder or neck work, so be advised that's body work. read more

Was an absolute perfect end to a busy week. The massage therapist was excellent! The owner has both female and male employees who have different technique styles of massage which is always good. read more

They don't take walk-in's unfortunately. I was ready to spend, and i tip well, as I am a massage therapist. Oh well. Won't come here again.

DO NOT GO HERE. My husband and I went here for a massage and it was good, everyone was nice enough (the guy kept answering the phone while giving me a massage which was weird but whatever) The next time my husband returned he got a 60 minute massage and the lady didn't do a great job, kept leaving the room and wouldn't apply much pressure. But whatever my husband is nice and still have her a $20.00 tip. He got an hour long massage for $64.00 then gave her over a 20% tip totaling to $84.00. Of course she didn't give him a receipt and we later found out why... Our card got charged $103.00. We called the owner and all he said was "You have the pay for your massage and there's not record of what you got or paid, sorry" and hung up. We never said we didn't want to pay for what we received, we just asked that our $19.00 was refunded to us as it was charged incorrectly. We are now disputing this with our bank, but what HORRIBLE service. Telling the customer they have to pay for the service and not actually hearing what we are trying to tell you, then hanging up. Needless to say we will not be returning or referring anyone else to your establishment. read more

This place looks scary from the outside but it really is an amazing experience. I love going here after a long run. It makes my calves so happy! $35 for an hour is definitely a great deal too! read more

The girl does not speak English. Unprofessional and every time someone came in front door the girl leaves to attend to front desk during my massage! She even started to fall asleep during my foot massage. Chairs are uncomfortable. Overall nothing special and cut my friend and I off by about 8 minutes. We set our timers. Won't go back. read more

I just had my first massage here by Amy and it was amazing!! I literally feel like a new person. She cracked me and gave a deep tissue massage that healed my aching back. So so happy we tried Oba today (my husband also did combo and loved it). Will definitely be back. Thanks, Amy!! read more

I am happy that I stumbled upon this location after my workout. It does look a bit sketchy from the outside, but the service was pleasant. I tried this concept of a massage in Chicago and it costs around $35, but they might not have the volume of guests so it is $50. I did the 60 minute combo which starts with a chair massage with your feet in a common room. You then go to a room behind a curtain for a private back massage. Overall, I am very happy with my service and will definitely return. Also, their hours are very good if you want to come after work or after a workout. Tip: bring cash since there is a transaction fee for using a credit card read more

Wasn't a very good experience. The customer service was great I will say, they were very friendly but as far as the massage went.. it was bad. First of all they are very rough & didn't seem to have a massage technique like many places that I've gone to before feel to have. The majority of the massage was spent rubbing my back up & down to my butt. It was an hour massage. Maybe 5 minutes was spent on my arms & hands and 10 was spent on my legs and feet. I came out more sore than I went in. I will never go here or recommend. Nice people though! read more

I'm new to the area and was looking for a place to get a massage, so a coworker suggested this place. It looks a little sketchy from the outside, but very relaxing on the inside. I did the hour combo (30 on the feet 30 on the body) and the therapist was very professional and did a great job. I've gone to other massage places before and will definitely come back here. Lost a star because they charge a credit card fee, so bring cash if you don't want to pay it. read more

Great experience conveniently located on the south side next to Bono's BBQ definitely will return

They changed owner but even better than before.The therapist is very professional.I do like the combo massage which could have both body and foot to refresh.Will definitely introduce to my friend to come.It will worth your stopping by. read more

Amazing and firm. They actually know English so I can communicate and very friendly.

I had a great experience. Hidden gem in Jacksonville!

I finally found my new favorite massage place! I've gone through so many massage therapists and all they seem to do i just relax you, and gently touch. But Mrs. Mary here, at Oba Massage, is really working your muscles through, disecting it by fibers! lol It's almost like going to a chiropractor at the same time! She is excellent! A very strong woman and really knows how to stretch and soften up your tension areas! Coming back today for another massage and bringing my boyfriend here too! :))) read more

I really love this place! I have been going there once a month for about a year now. There are frequently different massage therapists there and they change their system now and then, but I always receive a very therapeutic and relaxing massage, starting with reflexology on my feet and a deep tissue massage over the rest of me. I suffer from very tight, sore neck and shoulder muscles. These folks keep me relaxed and able to keep functioning. I thoroughly look forward to my monthly visits. Wish I could afford to go more often!!! Yes, there is a charge for using credit cards, so take cash. But the $50 for a one-hour combo is a very reasonable price. Massage Envy and other places cost more!!! Enjoy :) read more

This was the most amazing massage I have ever had. Very clean establishment. The therapist are very professional. I am definitely returning to this establishment. read more

Today I had a long body aching day. I literally ran yet tip toeing to this place because I had been there in the past. I initially noticed a name change but since the last name was so generic I wasn't sure. After going in I realized it's a new owner. I requested just a foot massage but was told the price for a body and foot massage as well. I only wanted a foot massage today so I get a 45 minute Reflexology massage because my goal was to spend $30/$35. The massage itself was decent but as I am sitting up the therapist make another attempt to up sale me a body massage. I say no, but after another attempt I concede. I am taken to a room behind a curtain but don't see the typical gown and was only provided limited instructions. The massage therapist comes in and start the massage. I get massages frequently and am use to laying on my back and stomach at some point. This was only stomach. I am also use to the therapist touching my skin (nothing inappropriate) but the therapist essentially massaged me through a towel. It was not the worst but different. BUT the part that really left me saying "I will never return again" was during payment. I went in to spend $35 max for just reflexology and ended up spending $62 plus tip. I was given my debit ticket and wrote in a $5.00 tip. I was then given a laminated tip chart which said in large print if the services are a hour or more then a $10 tip is required. Say what? So my tip is now a back door way to charge more for the services. I did it because I felt forced but I am very unhappy. My intent to spend $35 turned into $72. When I go into a place to relax I hate to be continually up sold and then to be given a strong recommendation about tipping made a relaxing massage obsolete so much so that I am writing this review. If you want to charge more do upfront pricing but soft forcing a patron to tip a certain amount is bad business. I might add, I always tip no matter what but the lasting impression with them was I will never go back. Just putting it out there, not sure if others have experienced this but I did. read more

I use to go here quite regularly until i had a creepy experience. I was having a foot and full body massage. During my foot massage i see this man walk in and go to the back to help out one of the women with a store issue. and then I hear him chatting it up with the women who worked there. It was loud and disrupted the otherwise relaxing setting. 60 min later it is time for my full body massage. I change and get on the table as I am getting relaxed i start hearing very loud and repeatedly " Did you join match .com" and "What kind of man are you looking for?" And start talking about her body type. All this was repeated endless of times because none of the women spoke english very well. This was all going on in the front part of the business but it is stuff you do not want to hear while on a massage table. When my massage was over i got dressed and paid and went to the front to see this old guy with his hands on this 20 something woman. It just gave me the yuk feeling. Like this place might give someone a happy ending kinda feeling. Great massage though. But the yuk factor got too high for me to ever go back. read more
