I was easily able to book an appointment online for the next morning, at 10:00 the night before, for a sports massage. The staff at the front desk could not have been more professional and friendly when I checked in and only had to wait just a few minutes for Charlene, my masseuse to be ready. The facility is spotless, meticulously maintained, and COVID conscious. My masseuse, Charlene, was unbelievable. She stretched my problem areas, really worked through the tightness and stiffness in my entire body, focusing on the injured leg. I am not exaggerating when I say that this is probably the best massage I ever had. I walked out of there feeling so much better, and it was the first time in weeks without a limp on the affected leg. The first thing I will do when I return to St. Simons is make an appointment with Charlene for at least one massage.

Susan took me back to my room, and told me that the massage table had a red light feature and asked if I would like her to turn it on. I said sure! That would be great, thanks. Nothing else was mentioned and she flipped the switch to turn it on. She then left, I got undressed, and got onto the bed to wait for my massage. Halfway through the massage, she told me she was going to use cupping on my upper back because it was tight. I said okay. Susan never once mentioned it was an additional cost. Later, as I am up at the front desk checking out, (for the first time) she mentions that the red light on the bed and the cupping were an additional $30 combined. I was very confused, and said "I didn't know that those things were an additional cost." She replied and said "I know, I didn't mention it." Needless to say I was flabbergasted. Then she said "it's hard to talk about money when you're relaxed and on the massage table." (After I left I thought to myself, I wasn't even on the massage table yet when she asked me if I wanted her to turn on the red light feature.) Because of my confusion as I was checking out, she said she'd "do me a favor and discount the additional $30 cost down to $20." I was extremely uncomfortable, felt put on the spot, paid, and left. I couldn't shake the feeling of being taken advantage of, so I emailed her that night, explaining this and how uncomfortable I felt. I asked if she would be willing to refund me the additional cost, and only charge me for what I originally booked: an hour long Swedish massage. She ignored my email and the follow up email I sent 3 days later. I didn't ask her to do these additional things, she offered them up without disclosing the cost. And at no point during the online booking process were these things disclosed. You're given the option to add on the sauna or NSDR, both of which I declined. Such an awful feeling to have information kept from you throughout the entire process and then sprung on you last minute. I just hope this review can help prevent this from happening to someone else in the future.

I've had 3 spinal fusions and live with ongoing spinal and spasm issues. I wasn't looking for a relaxing massage but a skilled medical massage and found my person in Barbara. I see her every 2 weeks and can attest to her precision skills in not only giving a first class massage but also in knowing the science to zero in on muscle structure that brings pain, spasms, restricts movement and causes referred pain. Barbara's skills bring relief and I am very comfortable with her knowledge base for my back issues. She trains regularly to incorporate appropriate the latest techniques and grow as a professional. She has a new convenient office on SSI which is very comfortable and she is not overpriced considering her excellent skills in medical oriented massage and all massage types, relaxation included!

I delivered two very large babies over a decade ago and had followed the advice of my OB/Gyn, but kegels weren't enough. Usually within 20 minutes of jogging, I would start to leak. I was already a very loyal customer of Refresh & Refine (and travel more than 300 miles for all treatments there - well worth it!!!!) so I was thrilled R&R started offering treatments to help with this very embarrassing problem. FormaV's radiofrequency treatments were surprisingly comfortable. VTone's muscle stimulation was a bit more intense but manageable. More importantly, it left my pelvic floor feeling stronger. The combined effect of FormaV and VTone has been incredible. My urinary incontinence is practically gone. I have so much more confidence thanks to these treatments. I have now completed my sessions and feel like i am in my 20s again. It not only has cleared up my urinary incontinence problem while jogging, sneezing, coughing, jumping, etc... but it has had some added benefits in the bedroom. I highly recommend it!
