I was so relaxed during the massage that all of the tabs in my head got quiet. My husband said he couldn't remember the first part of the massage because he practically melted.

Staff was professional and asked how we were doing, and there was hot tea at the end as well. For the price (including tip), it was such a great deal for two people. We are planning to come back regularly for their services.

I made a great decision to go see Eric Almanza for my fibromyalgia-type pains. Unfortunately my…read moredoctors weren't paying attention to the issues I was describing, but going to The Art of Massage ended up changing my life because the therapist could actually feel the areas that were tight, needed to be worked on, or were tender (before me even saying so). The massage therapist at The Art of Massage has expert hands and knowledge, and also communicated back to me so that I could in turn also communicate the issues to my doctors. This gave me the confidence to describe the pain areas to my doctors and narrow down my diagnosis! Even though my treatment plan is long-term and I still have a ways to go, my recent flare-up has subsided; I no longer feel the suffocating discomfort I was feeling, particularly in the neck and shoulder areas, which is a huge improvement. I recommend The Art of Massage because not only will the massage therapist listen to your needs and problems, but they will also make you feel optimistic and hopeful, and gave you other health-conscious recommendations for a holistic approach to treatment. This has definitely opened new doors for me because I can focus on the next stages of my health, and I'm certain it can have the same benefits for you/other persons, so don't hesitate to give it a try. -Diana

I was hoping for a relaxing massage. I am a really low maintenance kind of person, I am easy going,…read moreI really am. But this man was so unprofessional! I arrived a few minutes late to our appointment (I had trouble finding his suite) and he informed me that my session would be short because I was late and he had another appointment right after me. I told him that was understandable since I was late. BUT he would stop massaging me to respond to his text messages, which used up some of my time, and he even answered a call during the massage and put his friend on speakerphone! ON SPEAKERPHONE! Talking about some homeless man living on their couches, drinking their booze and stuff. It was probably a 10 minute conversation that I had the pleasure of listening to. Towards the end of my appointment, he found some knots in my back and shoulders, and was like, "do you feel that? Those are bad. But we are all out of time, so next time we will work on that." I was really disappointed. It was not the experience I was hoping for at all.
