Always vacation in VA Beach each year And usually indulge in massages for myself and adult…read moredaughters. Picked Balance Therapeutic Massage mainly because of very reasonable pricing for 90 minutes. Well not only was pricing great, the massage by Sue Lasiter was probably one of the best massages I have ever had. I have a regular massage therapist in my hometown and have had many treatments in cruise ships and at resorts. None compare to the massage by Sue. I mentioned problems with one of my shoulders. She spent extra time on that area, but not so much that I felt other parts were neglected. The building where they are located is under what appears to be extensive renovations and once inside there is nothing fancy. So if you are looking for a more spa like experience, look elsewhere. But if you want a really great massage by exceptional therapist, look no further than Balance Therapeutics in Virginia Beach

I stumbled upon this place during a quick trip to the area. It was very affordable and close to…read morewhere I was staying. I specifically wanting a prenatal massage (a first for me) and was very pleased with Tracy's service. I had been having a lot of consistent pain in my shoulder blades and ribs and she spent a lot of time working those areas. The building/space it self is a bit basic and older/no frills. If you're wanting a fancy spa, this isn't it, but if you're okay with some outdated things, but still getting high quality massage for a good price, this place is it. Can't speak to all the staff, but again very pleased with Tracy.

My wife used a Groupon to receive a deep tissue massage at 757 Massage from Brett Curtis. She was a…read morelittle nervous about using a Groupon for this and is very selective when it comes to giving positive feedback to massage therapists but was very pleased with the excellent massage Mr. Curtis performed. She recommends his services to anyone. We have already booked a second massage for her. I also want to say that we are in no way associated with 757 Massage other than as a customer. I am surprised by the reviews left stating appointments were hard to make and complaints that no one was there at the facility. We experienced none of that. 757's website is very specific on the days they are open and that when they are open it is by appointment only. Their online calendar lists what days are available and the times available on those days. Appointments can be scheduled up to 6 months in advance. Pick the type of massage desired plus any notes, enter the date and time, and complete the request. A reply sent to my email account was almost instanteous stating they were reviewing our request. Shortly after another email was received stating it was set. It appears that therapists are only at the facility when they have appointments. My wife saw Brett inside on the day/time of her appointment, knocked on the door, and he answered it. The Groupon also provides a telephone number. She probably could have called him when she arrived instead. He gave her his card when she left which includes his number. My only small complaint is that "deep tissue massage" is not listed as a selection on the website even though it is what offered on the Groupon. I just selected a different type of massage with the same price and stated in the comments that we have a Groupon and she wants a deep tissue massage. No problem once we got there!

My mother purchased a groupon for my birthday in hopes to have a special mother/ daughter day since…read moreI recently lost my father and this was my first birthday without him. Called on/off for weeks , left voicemails, no response. My mother and sister called as well No response. Finally drove to the establishment just to find the doors locked no receptionist which explains the lack of phone contact just to find a sign stating if door is locked they are in session. Me and my sister waited for atleast an hour just to see if indeed someone walks out. Nope! No! Nada! Zilch. I'm not even mad that this place cannot communicate, just understand why I will not being doing business with you and Groupon will be refunding my mother.

I went in for a 60 min deep tissue massage and had a really uncomfortable experience. I get…read moremassages regularly and this was not normal. While I was face down, she kept pulling on my underwear to the point where my private was out. She also did chiropractor-like movements trying to crack my back or adjust me and at multiple points was fully straddling me, including being on top of my head, which was very odd. It was not a deep tissue whatsoever. Additionally, she barely focused on my shoulders (what I came for), maybe 5 minutes total. At checkout, they didn't mention a card fee ahead of time, then after paying and not leaving a large tip, they bring out a notepad that says to leave at least 20% tip. I declined and left. Overall, it felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. I wouldn't return. Update: I received a call requesting to take down the review for a refund. They also offered a free massage if I remove the review, I declined. Zero remorse or accountability from the spa. Only worried about the review.

For my birthday month, I decided to dedicate each Friday to a self-care/self-love activity. My…read morefirst stop was Pint of Peace, located in the Lynnhaven North shopping center. I was specifically intrigued by their beer baths, and after researching the benefits, I decided to try one. I initially attempted to book online, but while the site mentioned a 50% deposit, it required 100% payment upfront, so I called to finalize the reservation. I used a 20% discount since it was my first-time booking. I decided to schedule the Brewing Calm Immersion, my session included 20 minutes in the sauna, a 60-minute massage, and a 60-minute soak. When I arrived, the owner greeted me and showed me my bath soak options: Hops Brew, Barley Blend, or Chai soak. I decided to try the hops brew which was a blend of hops, brewers yeast, malt, oats and Epsom salt. I also chose Eucalyptus, my favorite aromatherapy, for the diffuser used during my bath. After that I selected my drink from a selection of beer, wine and non-alcoholic options, which was also served during my bath. After making all my selections, I was escorted to a private room where, I changed into the robe and slippers they provided. They also provide access to Lockers with keys for you to secure your valuables.   My Experience  Sauna- Before entering they gave me a cup of ice water. I love the fact that I had the ability to adjust the temperature and lighting. However I wished there was some music in the background because sitting in silence for 20 minutes felt very long. Massage- I found the massage relaxing; however, the Pressure was hit or miss and I also feel like certain areas were neglected like my feet and head. Beer bath/soak - My favorite part of the day.  They pre-steeped the brew so the ingredients were already activated. I was originally concerned that the bath water wasn't going to be warm enough but I had 100% control of the temperature. When you enter the room they already have music playing and I had the ability to change the genre if I wanted. They also provide you with 2 large ice cube for you to massage your face and cool you down if you get too hot. After they get you all set up they dim the lights which was the final step in setting the relaxing mood. The Soaking tub was huge and I was just sinking into it. Loved, loved, loved it! Overall I truly enjoyed my time spent & experience at Pint and Peace. I would absolutely recommend stopping in for a day of pampering and I am looking forward to returning for another soak. This was a great kick off to my birthday month of self-care.

We did the sauna treatment, 60 minute massage, and bath and it was AMAZING! When we arrived, we got to choose our bath treatment - there were 3 options. Since I've never had a beer bath, that was what I chose. We also got the option of tea, wine, beer, or water for our bath. We also got to choose an essential oil for the diffuser during our bath. After making our choices, we changed into robes and went into the sauna. From there, we got 60 minute massages, and mine was AMAZING! I asked for firm pressure, and that's exactly what I got! After our massages, it was bath time. It was really neat because the treatment is actually in a bag that you put into the tub. It isn't beer but the dry ingredients that go into beer I'm guessing. I loved that they cut off the big lights and there's the option of a small switch light. There is also meditation music and the diffuser that adds to the relaxation. They also give you 2 big ice cubes to use on your face, neck, or just to simply cool the water if needed. I used on my face, and it felt SO good. I like that we had our baths in separate rooms but were able to move the sliding divider in the wall if we wanted so that we could still talk to each other! This was a 2 hour experience and I would definitely do it again. It was the perfect way to relax with a friend or take some time to yourself for a little self care!

I've actually tested this theory by saying I just wanted a massage and she got to my problem areas and told me they were tight and loosened them up.
