I'm writing this review on behalf of my husband who has been to Ron twice now!…read more Previously, we previously went to Eric for our first few years at Compass Point. Eric moved away though and we needed to re-establish with someone which is when we found Ron! From the first few minutes getting acquainted and discussing the goals of massage, my husband and I knew we Ron was going to be awesome! I can't say enough wonderful things about his massage techniques, willingness to tailor massage to your individual needs, along with his continued compassionate nature to check-in for pressure and position comfort. He also has availability on the weekends and late afternoons/ evening which are HUGE perks for those who work traditional workdays. Pricing is more than reasonable for the services and quality he provides! If you are looking for a super massage therapist, please give him a try! I'm sure you will not be disappointed!

So thankful that Ron was able to squeeze me in last minute and give…read moreme some much needed relief from the tension/strain in my neck and back while studying for my final exams. The facility was clean and he was very professional. I will definitely be back!! I highly recommend Ron as he as a background in PT and knowledgeable about different massage techniques. He spent a few minutes in the beginning chatting with me about what was bothering me/what I wanted to focus on and we came up with a treatment plan.

Today, I had a session with Ellie. She's a co-worker of Natasha…read more Ellie has the perfect application of touch, neither too strong nor too light. Her pressure from head to toe was consistent in alleviating the stress and tightness in my lower back and legs. Even hours later, I can feel the kneading effects throughout my body of this morning's appt. The only regret I had was that I only booked a 90-min session instead of 2 hours. It was a therapeutic & blissful experience that will most certainly lead to a return visit. Bravo, Ellie!

The facility is clean and it's easy to make an appointment online. I've been there several times…read moreand have seen a couple of therapists. The quality of the massages vary wildly depending on who is performing them. During a recent massage, the therapist, Dorothy, farted audibly for at least the first ten minutes which was really rude and off putting. Additionally the therapists do not wear shoes. Given that clients are wearing footwear and coming and going to and from the parking lot, lobby, restrooms and the massage rooms, this gave me serious ick as the therapists must have seriously dirty feet by the end of the day. Not planning on going back.

I've been coming to A Better Massage for a while now and feel that the four different massage…read moretherapists I've seen have all done a wonderful job. The therapists have always been on time, had the room cleanly prepared, and discussed what areas have been causing me discomfort before the massage. When I first started coming here it was for deep tissue work (years of desk slouching = pain in the neck). When getting the work done you are able to let the therapist know how if you need more or less pressure. I recently had some surgery and I've had massages that really helped reduce my post surgical pain. If you're looking for a place that can focus on therapeutic massages this is the place I'd recommend.

I'm officially six weeks post-op tomorrow, and this journey has been anything but easy--but I truly…read moredon't know if I'd be doing as well as I am without the support and guidance of Nathalie at Just Breathe Massage and Body Work. From day one, she has been incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to making sure my investment in surgery wasn't wasted. Her post-op lymphatic drainage massages have been a game-changer in my recovery. She takes the time to tailor each session to what my body needs, adjusting techniques as I progress to ensure the best possible results. Even though I'm not getting massages as frequently as before, I still go twice a week for maintenance, and Nathalie continues to use specialized techniques to keep my results looking great. As I approach the eight-week mark, I know I'll continue seeing her--even if it's less often--because her expertise is unmatched. If you're looking for someone who truly understands post-op care and is invested in your healing journey, Nathalie is worth her weight in gold and 1000% worth the 2 hour drive each way from Spring Hill.

I got into a car accident on a few days ago, which increased my chronic pain, to constant pain. In…read morenew and old areas, and I honestly just needed some relief. The original place I wanted to go (which I have an appt for in an hour today) was closed. I checked the reviews and found this place. I knew it was new, but always love giving new places a try, and of course to review until my heart's content so you don't experience what I did. First, Amy (I believe the owner) was the only one there. Upon walking up I rang the doorbell, she kindly greater me at the door and immediately took my temperature and gave me hand sanitizer. I undressed, laid on the table, told her about my accident and the pain areas, and she got to work. When I say work, I mean it. She was walking on my back, using vigorous and painful movements across my neck and shoulders. I kept saying it hurt, she'd stop for a moment and then go right back to it. I booked for 90 minutes, was told it was $80 (it is advertised here for $79.99). The first hour was spent on just my back, I was begging her to move onto the rest of my body, she kept saying "yes, later, later." I get massages regularly, 1-4 times every 14 days at a local wellness center in my home town. I've had lots of massages from all different places and this was the most unique. She was slapping my legs and feet pretty hard, which felt okay oddly enough, but was sudden and unexpected. To sum it up, Amy doesn't speak much English at all, she has a hard time with numbers, telling me my next visit will be only $90 for 90 minutes, which is a $10 increase, I'm sure was just a language mistake. I told her the tip amount, in which she added $100 to, and I'm glad I caught it before processing my card. I truly wish I could give more stars or had a better experience, but I felt no relief. I was so tense my jaw was clenched the hole time. The only reason I didn't get up is because I was so desperate for relief that I was hoping it would just get better. I have another massage appointment now at a different place, seeking the relief I wanted and hoped for yesterday. Amy has the opportunity for improvement and she does have cool techniques, but understanding clients is VITAL. She didn't know I was in more pain most of the time, and needs to learn numbers so clients are charged properly. No have high hopes for this place and would come back, but some things would have to change. The facility is very nice and well kept though. There were faux flowers on the table which was a relaxing addition, and immediately put me at ease. I just wish that ease had lasted.
