She has not only relieved me of my chronic pain, but has also managed any other random aches or injuries I have had along the way. She prepared me for labor with pre-natal massages (and pep talks!) and now has been working with me through post natal and lymphatic drainage sessions post cesarean section. She is professional, highly knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled at her craft. The staff at G-Medical are always wonderful to interact with and it truly feels like a safe space.

I had pretty much sworn off massage for years because of too many disappointing experiences and…read moreinconsistent service. Because of that, I don't say this lightly: Firm Hands has completely changed my mind. Every single experience I've had here--for myself, for friends, and for family--has been outstanding. The work is consistently skilled, intentional, and truly therapeutic. This isn't a "fluffy" massage that leaves you wondering what you paid for; it's thoughtful bodywork that actually helps. I've referred so many people to Firm Hands at this point that I honestly can't help myself--I recommend it to anyone who will listen. Whether you're looking for real therapeutic support or intentional self-care, this place delivers every time. Highly, highly recommend.

Jonathan CURED my cervical radiculopathy with sport massage. I was in severe pain for months (and…read moremild pain for years), was on nerve medication, going to physical therapy and getting acupuncture. NOTHING gave me relief like the massage I received at Firm Hands. He is so knowledgeable and knows exactly what to do. Sport massages are not the most relaxing (it's very deep tissue!) but the relief from tension and pain is invaluable. I tell everyone that this is what cured me. Now I'm trying to convince my fiancé who hates massages to go.

I want to give sincere credit to The NOW Massage in Long Beach for how they handled a difficult…read moresituation and made us feel valued as long-time members. My girlfriend and I have been members of The NOW for years! long enough that our current membership rate is no longer even available. We genuinely enjoy the brand and have continued supporting it because the experience has usually been consistent and worthwhile. Recently, we had an issue with another NOW location after a massage appointment was cancelled during a stressful emergency involving a chemical spill and mandatory evacuation orders near our home. Even though we cancelled through the app within the required timeframe, that location still removed our credits. After the situation was escalated, the Long Beach team stepped in and handled it with professionalism and care. A team member Brianna contacted us, apologized, listened to what happened, and let us know they would take care of us. That response meant a lot. She let us know that the GM/Owner Jaime knows who we are as long time members. What I appreciated most was that Long Beach did not make us feel like we were just another transaction or hide behind policy. They treated us like loyal members, acknowledged the situation, and worked to make it right. Customer service matters most when something goes wrong, and the Long Beach location showed exactly why we have stayed members for so long. We truly appreciate their follow-up, accountability, and willingness to take care of us. THANK YOU SO MUCH

I wish I can say I love this place since its not far from my work…read more I've had a lot of massages in my life and hadn't had one in a while. I was in need of one and have been looking for a spot near my work. I booked The Now online for a 50 min massage with an added $20 deep tissue option. Booking was easy and I did like that you can pay in advance online. You can select if you prefer a male or female masseuse and which type of massage you want and the duration. Upon arriving I was given some cucumber water while waiting. My masseuse met with me before to talk about where to focus and preference. I told him I wanted it hard and to focus only on upper back, neck and shoulders. My massage started off pretty soft and I had to ask him twice to go harder. He also didn't really get in there and it definitely was not deep tissue. It was relaxing but my home massager probably does a better job honestly. I've also had much better massages for half the price elsewhere. The massage "rooms" are divided up by fabric. They're still pretty private but you need to stay quiet with your masseuse. The staff is really nice and my masseuse was nice as well. I just wish he hit the spots I needed. After the massage I was given more water and checking out was easy since I had already paid. I just tipped. Parking can be found in the lot. It's 2 hours complementary. The Now is located on the first floor in 2nd & PCH and is directly across from Boba Guys.

When you check in you use their kiosk to explain what your problem points are, and you can request to exclude stepping and cracking, which for me is a huge perk.

Public Health, Professionalism, and Customer Service Concern -- Long Beach Health Department and…read moreLos Angeles County of Public Health During a massage appointment, I observed that the masseuse, identified as "Pat," had visibly rough and irritated skin on both of her elbows, more rough on the left. When I asked about it, she stated it was just dry skin. As the massage continued, I became increasingly concerned due to the amount of direct skin-to-skin contact. I asked to see her elbows more closely. I used my phone flashlight to illuminate the dim environment, and I observed that Pat's skin on her elbows appeared red, raised and inflamed, 2 x 2 inches in circumference, covering almost her whole elbow. Out of an abundance of caution and concern for possible exposure to a contagious skin condition, I requested that the massage be stopped. Following this, my husband and I asked to speak with a supervisor or manager. We were initially told that there was no supervisor available and that no one would be available for approximately a month. This response was upsetting and felt unprofessional given the nature of the concern. After continued requests, another individual was eventually reached by phone (She refused to state her name) who communicated more clearly. During that conversation, both my husband and I felt that our concerns were mocked rather than taken seriously, which further added to our distress. I have reported this incident to the Long Beach Health Department and Los Angeles County - Department of Public Health. I am sharing this experience so others are aware of potential health risks, lack of professionalism, and egregious customer-service issues. If others have experienced this, they may consider reporting similar concerns to the appropriate authorities, if encountered. This review reflects my personal experience and concerns.

I was contacted beforehand and asked to push my appointment back by 30 minutes, which wasn't an issue. However, upon arrival, I was asked to confirm that I had paid online, and there was a delay while the receptionist located my payment, which was frustrating. Once I was taken to the room, I wasn't asked about any specific areas of concern or preferred pressure. During the massage, the pressure felt too rough at times, even after I asked for it to be lighter. The session also felt rushed, and after it ended, I wasn't offered water or tea.
