I've been coming here for years now whenever I've had flare ups of chronic headaches and it's always helped. I did not think I'd ever get over the communal aspect but everyone has their own space and respects the peaceful vibe. If nothing else you'll get some of the most peaceful rest of your life out of it. This place is an absolute gift to the community.

Acupuncture has been very beneficial for me. For the past decade I have severely suffered with…read morenumbness and tingling at night because I have carpal tunnel syndrome(both hands). I wear every night wrist braces and weren't helping much lately. The team of practitioners at Space Open Community Acupuncture have helped a lot with my problem.

I think everyone should try Acupuncture Thank you!

Fine but sub par for the price. I was super eager to try…read morethis place out after a friend gave me a raving review, I booked the 60 min new client massage that includes a free "toning facial". The facial was no more than light massaging around the cheeks and chin. Not sure what made it toning and it is most definitely not worth the $125 price tag they typically throw on it. My technician, Rachael, was great! I wear medical devices that's can't be taken off and she was very accommodating around them which I very much appreciated. The massage felt good but for the price fell short for me. You enter into a bay that is divided with a curtain from the customers next to you. While you're paying for your $175+ massage you can hear the conversations going on around you. Upon finishing you're lead right to their "wellness room" where they show you all of their products and supplements they have for sale and then led to the front desk to sell you on packages immediately. I think the experience would have been more worth it if I hadn't seen my money being thrown in their "upscale" tactics like solid black toilet paper, custom towels that you can see until you're getting re-dressed in dim lighting, and everything they own being labeled with their logo. I would have preferred a cheaper massage for what we're all there for - lympathic drainage.

Just had the first lymphatic drainage massage of my life and I loved! I feel so good right now and…read moreI can see definition in my upper stomach that I've never seen before. It's pricey if you don't buy a package of 3 ($239 v $175) so if you go I'd suggest buying 3 at a time (after your first session to see if you like it). The technician was so professional and helpful. I bought the pack of 6 detox patches ($24) to help future inflammation/bloating/prevent hangovers. Highly recommend this service.

Dr. Beneski came highly recommended to me after I messed up my back trying to pick up my son who…read morewas trying to go up the down escalator. The pain I had was keeping me from doing almost anything, including sleep. I placed a call and they saw me that day (which is unheard of for new patients at a doctor's office). The receptionist has always been very kind and Dr. Beneski has been very good, polite, and respectful. I appreciate how he explains everything and his stretches/exercises have been crazy helpful; you do need to do them every day if you want results, which I most definitely needed. He really works out the kinks incredibly well and I feel better now than when I did before I hurt my back. I highly recommend Beneski Chiropractic.

I never, ever thought I'd step into a cold plunge. But after hearing much raving about it, I…read morefinally gave it a try, starting with a sauna session to warm up. I was coached to shut out the noise and focus on my breath. To my surprise, I stayed in for over three minutes. The exhilaration afterward was incredible, only surpassed by the sensation when re-entering the sauna as warmth and circulation flooded back in. It's invigorating, deeply calming, and oddly addictive. Release Well-Being Center is a premier destination for contrast therapy. I've not found anything that comes close to this experience. Known as BLISS, their expertly curated sauna and cold plunge experience lives up to its name. The space is stunning, the amenities are immaculate, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and professional. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and that you are in for an elevated experience. The changing rooms are beautifully appointed (think high-end resort), and your locker is stocked with the most delicious robe, towel, and a pair of sandals. The staff does an exceptional job of keeping every space spotless, from the showers to the changing areas, and the beauty area, which boasts high-end hair products and styling tools, as well as any items you may have forgotten, such as hair ties, brushes, sanitary products, and razors. The heart of the experience lies in the relaxation lounge, a true sanctuary featuring two infrared saunas, a traditional sauna, and two pristine cold plunges (at temperatures of approximately 44° and 54°). The sauna relaxes and detoxifies. It's hot, yes, but deeply calming, evoking memories of back when it was okay to bake in the sun at the beach. The cold plunge is undeniably cold, but not painful; it stings and serves as a bracing wake-up call to both the body and mind. Sink in swiftly, breathe with intention, and time moves faster than you think. The contrast between the two has been transformative for me, with improved circulation, enhanced mental clarity, better cardio performance, a more elevated mood, and faster muscle recovery. And when you think you've hit peak Bliss, there's the eucalyptus steam room, also the best I've ever experienced. Stepping into its warm, fragrant mist after contrast therapy feels like a hug for your entire body. I've also had the pleasure of getting to know Linda Townsend, the founder and president of Release, who leads by example and shares the space with members. Our conversations in the sauna, about health, balance, and life, are part of what keeps me coming back. Release is more than a wellness center. It's a community, and a true gem in the heart of Boston. Try their generous Bliss trial membership. You won't regret it!

The staff is capable and friendly and the facility is clean and welcoming. This spa is exactly what I need in my life. Bring your bathing suit! Take a tour and see what the spa looks like. I bet you'll want to book something. There is an open room that has three types of saunas and two cold plunges. My niece made me do the plunge pools, and one was MUCH colder than the other. So refreshing! We both had facials and my skin glowed for days. The estheticians were great! If I am in Boston again for any reason, I would definitely book a facial and/or massage at Release Well-Being Center again. Bostonians are lucky to have this beautiful spa.

Copley square chiropractic to me is calm, attentive, and no BS. I don't have any left over aches from over corrections or unusual techniques.

Visits take about 4 minutes each. He taps on your spine with a little hammer, then massages the sides of the spine. The whole process lasts no more than 5 minutes.

I am sure it must happen with other insurance coverage also because I saw patients go in for a five minute treatment.

I cannot speak highly enough about North End Acupuncture, especially Philip Barlow. I began seeing…read morePhilip in December 2024 for a persistent gastro-related issue I'd been dealing with since August 2022. After seeing multiple doctors with little to no progress, I turned to acupuncture as a "last resort", which now will be the first place I turn to moving forward. During my first appointment Philip spent a full hour going over my health history in detail, and I can confidently say I've never felt so heard or understood by someone in the medical field. We started with weekly sessions, gradually shifting to bi-weekly and then monthly as I improved. Thanks to Philip's thoughtful care, my gastro issues have been fully resolved and I no longer require regular treatment. On top of that, Philip has also helped me recover from a few short-term colds and illnesses using a combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine. The entire team at North End Acupuncture has created such a warm, welcoming, and peaceful environment which made every visit something I looked forward to. I cannot recommend them enough!
