She's extremely knowledgeable, and makes excellent recommendations on the type of massage for you and how to incorporate things in your daily routine to maintain a healthy lifestyle. As far as the massage and technique/pressure is concerned, I'm pretty sure she's psychic because whatever she does is always exactly what my body needs. My recommendation - book early, as Aly's schedule fills up far in advance and she has a strong client base. Unfortunately for me, I live in Northern VA so I have a hard time finding a slot that works for me, but when I see one I certainly jump on it. All it takes is one session with her, after you will realize why Aly's schedule fills up.

My…read morefirst visit was a full massage with Jenna and it was so relaxing and I think I fell asleep within the first 20 minutes, which for me signifies a great salon and I was pleased. Today, I had reflexology by Stefanie and it was dreamy. It's so interesting how points on one's feet can be felt in various body parts/organs. Massage pressure is personalized and she was right on target as well as the manipulation of my feet was executed with care and gently. Stefanie has excellent customer service and she explains things as she moves around the feet however also periods of quietness for solitude or in my case a snooze. My experience at RESOLVE on both occasions SUPERB. Highly recommend‼

I really wanted to leave a positive review for Resolve Body Works because there were genuinely…read moreparts of my experience that I loved, but unfortunately the lack of communication afterward has left me extremely disappointed. I booked and paid for a sports massage knowing that every massage therapist has their own techniques and style. I want to be very clear that I have absolutely nothing negative to say about my therapist as a person. She was great - really cool, easy to talk to, and our conversation made the experience incredibly comfortable. The atmosphere itself was also outstanding. The space was welcoming, relaxing, and somewhere I initially planned on returning to, which is why I had already scheduled another appointment. That being said, these services aren't cheap, and I booked this massage for a very specific reason. I'm at the end of a long training block and preparing to run a 100-mile race. My goal was to loosen everything up, get some deeper tissue work done, and give my body the best chance possible to feel refreshed heading into the start line. Unfortunately, the massage felt much more like a relaxation massage than the deeper sports/deep-tissue work I was expecting. Afterward, I didn't notice any difference in the specific areas I had hoped to have targeted. I completely understand that techniques vary between therapists, and sometimes a service simply isn't the right fit. That alone would not have prompted me to leave a negative review. What has been most disappointing is what happened afterward. I reached out to Resolve Body Works multiple times to explain my experience and give them an opportunity to address it. I sent a text, an email, and a message through Instagram, and I also attempted to call the business. It has now been about a week, and I have received no response at all. I wasn't looking to attack anyone or blame my therapist. I simply wanted to communicate that I had paid a significant amount for a specific service and walked away feeling like I hadn't received the type of treatment I booked. I would have appreciated even a simple acknowledgment or conversation about it. Because I never heard back, I ultimately canceled my next appointment. That's genuinely a shame because the atmosphere was fantastic, I really liked my therapist, and I would have been open to returning and trying something different had someone simply communicated with me. Ultimately, the massage itself may have just been a mismatch between what I needed and the technique provided. I can understand that. What I have a much harder time understanding is reaching out through four different methods and receiving no response whatsoever. For the amount these services cost, communication and customer care should be part of the experience. Unfortunately, I walked away feeling like I spent a pretty penny on something that didn't meet my needs and then was completely ignored when I tried to address it.

I've loved Richmond Sports Massage for years. I've only gone when I've had back related injuries,…read morebut they always help me heal. Years ago, I got a massage pass for a back issue. It seems the massage therapist I used to see more regularly is no longer there, but she was incredible. On a recent visit for a lower back problem, I scheduled an appointment with Shawn. I was tired of my endless chiropractor visits and decided muscle work would be the next step to healing. It truly was. I had visited another masseuse at a different practice the week before, however, it felt like Shawn's work truly healed me. I explained my back problems, the stretches I had been doing, and the heal routine I had been following. He focused on my glutes, hips, and thighs for the session. He was easy to communicate with and extremely professional. I'd highly recommend him. If you are looking to heal, Richmond Sports Massage is a good place to start. It's in a charming home in The Fan. And they have massage package deals.

I won't say Debbie is Lady Jesus, but she sure knows her stuff. I've visited her massage studio…read moretwice thus far and won't hesitate to return the next time I'm in severe pain. She's extremely skilled in pinpointing issues and explaining what she's doing to *mend* them. Debbie employs a bunch of different massage techniques, including ashiatsu (back walking) and inversion. I never thought I'd be okay with someone walking on me, but it really does seem to help with pain and alignment issues. I appreciate that she listens intently and then formulates a plan to lessen the pain substantially in the selected time session (I've requested an hour each time). I've had some frustrating back issues for several years now (sciatica, scoliosis, bulging disc...you name it), and it's incredibly reassuring to know that Debbie is only a few blocks away when I need her. It's easy to get an appointment within the week. If she doesn't pick up the phone, leave a voicemail and she'll respond within 24 hours at most. Debbie is also personable and easy to talk to. I'm so glad she landed in Richmond.

The only word I can use to describe this place is: WOW!…read more After nearly 3 years of intense triathlon training/racing and weight lifting, I had accumulated nearly 3 types of tendinitis in different parts of my body. Last October, I contracted a rare inflammation of my ribcage that hurt to move and breathe. Two months later, while I was training for a marathon, I injured my knee so badly I could hardly walk. Both these events were terrifying, and I knew I was deeply hurting myself from improper training. Something had to change. I googled furiously for deep tissue massage after reading that it could help with Costochondritis and found Muscle Mechanix in Carytown. I signed up for a massage and never knew how much my life would change after something that seemed so trivial. Randy at Muscle Mechanix not only fixed my body but also taught me how to keep fixing my body. Randy teaches you about muscular imbalances, proper breathing, and gives you exercises to do when you aren't able to go get a massage. My Costochondritis cleared up within a few weeks of my massages, and now I am working with Randy's personal training services to work out weakened muscles, create a plan to help me train more effectively, and now feel confident to sign up for a half ironman next year. My body feels so much better every day thanks to Randy and the team at Muscle Mechanix and I cannot thank them enough for helping me.
