John is the best massage therapist I've ever visited, and I've been to dozens. John takes the extra time to learn what is going on with you, and he summed up my issues and basically, me, in under ten minutes. With this understanding, John was able to give me the best, most effective and healing massage possible. John's understanding of the body's muscles, structure and how it all works make a massage with him a healthful and healing experience. John's studio is very nice, and his massage room is a definite upgrade from even the tony spa's rooms. His massage table is uber-comfortable, and it adjusts for maximum comfort. The almond oil John uses felt amazing on my skin, and the addition of soothing lavender was a bonus. I loved the soft music in the background; the melodic sweet jazzy sounds, so very soft and subtle, were so much nicer than the traditional New Age dissonant music lots of other places pipe in. I was able to completely relax in a way I haven't been able to do in other massage studios. John was neither too chatty nor too quiet; he struck the perfect balance of conversation, educating me on how to take better care of myself and get the most benefits from massage. I've had massages that have left me bruised, and some that have hurt so much I've stopped them in process. John's massage therapy is on another plane entirely. It's about preparing your body to heal, and it feels healing, relaxing and wonderful. Discussing further ways to continue healing with John was wonderfully informative. John is also a teacher, and he has much wisdom to share. We discussed methods of relaxation, the benefits of yoga, which I'm determined to try, and the importance of making an appointment to take time for yourself. I not only felt amazingly relaxed and rejuvenated after my massage, I felt a lot smarter, too. I'm eager to use the information I learned from John in my daily life, and I'm even more eager to book my next massage! I'm a part-time resident of Scottsdale (for now), and when I'm in town, I live quite near Scottsdale Fashion Square. There are spas and massage studios galore in the area, including highly-touted resort spas at the Phoenician, the Scottsdale Camelback Inn and The Sanctuary. I've visited many, and have had nice experiences. But none have compared to the massage experience I've had with John at Space Massage Studio. For a healthy, healing massage that leaves you feeling refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated,Space Massage Studio is the place to go, and John is the therapist to trust. read more

John is completely AMAZING at what he does. Unfortunately, I do not get to visit him as often as I want. The random times I am able to go, he remembers me, which is completely awesome! John doesn't just give you a massage. He gives an experience. He spends time getting to know about you. And while it feel likes a friendly chat, he uses that to know just where to work and help you relax more. Every chance I get, I recommend John and his studio. He is at the top of my list of all time best massages! read more

I just had massage there . I usually don't comment or review anything like that.. I haven't had a great massage for a while !! He is so fantastic ;) I highly recommend this place!! I definitely go back ! read more

I planned a couples massage for our anniversary and was impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail. John and Stacy were personable, spent time to understood our needs and preferences and delivered a outstanding massage in a comfortable environment. I appreciated that they spent time to know me and their technique was therapeutic and effective. I will definitely be back. Thank you! read more

I yelped "best deep tissue massage" and found Lana here! And thank GOD I did. I finished a 90 minute session with CBD cream and it was 5 Star. Definitely will be back often! read more

My daughter and I went in to space massage and had the Swedish and the Thai massage. It was amazing. Both of us walked out feeling so relaxed and comfortable. It made our day. Matter of fact we have had several massages at different places... Washington, Mexico, Seattle, Palm Springs, Spokane.. and this was the fav. Definitely going back again and bringing friends. read more

I tried Space Massage for the first time a couple weeks ago. I was impressed with their space and very impressed their customer service. But most importantly, my massage was excellent! My therapist, Delilah, was amazing. She addressed some lower back tightness i pointed out and she made me feel very comfortable. I enjoyed my 90 minutes so much, I booked another 90 minutes a few days later. Give them a try. I'll definitely go back... read more

I tried John for the first time today and he was awesome! He asked probing questions and tried to understand me/my body before just getting down to business which I appreciated. In addition to asking questions he also gave suggestions on how to make my issues better. The massage was just what I needed. Thanks John and thank you fellow Yelpers for your great referral. :) read more

The therapist actually focused on the tight trapezius & neck areas I asked for - not typically what I have experienced elsewhere. Could have used a bit more focus on my low back, however. Will definitely return because overall it was a great massage experience. read more

John and his staff are skilled professionals. I'll return again and again. Money well spent

I went for the first time today. Even with a multi block power outage, Mary gave a great massage and very positive experience. I will be returning! read more

Corey got me right! Localized my massage to where I was tense. I've regained my range of motion every since. Highly recommend these guys. The staff was also very welcoming and accommodating. Will be back soon! read more

It is such an experience from the moment you walk in. Wonderful smells, beautiful interior decor, and an amazing massage. So thankful I found this place, I will most definitely be coming back. read more

I came here for the first time yesterday for a deep tissue massage with Denise. It was the best massage I've ever had. My girlfriend came as well and got an equally amazing massage from Susan. She loved the decor and atmosphere. Afterward had a great chat with the owner. Looking forward to our future visit! read more

The place was very nice clean, buddist zen feel, with relaxing soft music. Gave great instructions on how to get there and how to make my experience more relaxing through his insight. Did a great job, profesional, and also had a relaxed and focused way. Recomend it. Massage is with clothes on and in a room with the rest of the other clients. FYI. This was a little wierd for me, but it was good. read more

If you could see what a massage with Kayt feels like this is what it would be. https://youtu.be/ICxC5ekWnUc It was the definition of relaxing; fluid and concentrated, sweeping and deep. She greeted me with a smile right as I walked through the door. She is calming and kind presence. I will be returning ASAP. read more

My daughter got me my first massage ever from here and I loved it. John made me feel so comfortable and everyone was super nice. I bought my boyfriend here for his birthday and he absolutely loved it. We will definitely only get our massages here. read more

I found space massage on google and after reading reviews decided to book a pregnancy massage. I had been having horrible shoulder/back pain and needed help. I called hoping to get an appointment the next day and I was in luck. I booked my appointment with Rebecca. She was AMAZING! She explained everything she was doing because I was nervous. She walked me though why she was doing things & why I was having the pain. She even showed me stretches to do at home to help the pain! This was my first pregnancy massage and I'll definitely be back!! read more

John, thank you for the massage. If anyone in the area is looking for the works. Come check out his CBD massage!

The new space is very relaxing and private. Scheduling is easy and everyone is very courteous and professional. I would definitely recommend. read more

Got a couple's massage and we were well pleased with their personalities as well as their great service! The place is very clean and welcoming, I will be returning... read more

Jessica was outstanding! She was very nice and made sure everything was great. The studio was very clean and so peaceful. I had such a wonderful massage experience - I will definitely be going back and would 10/10 recommend! read more

I found SPAce through Yelp based on the good reviews. The Studio was easy to find and parking was open. When I arrived John was finishing up with another client and acknowledged that I was there and would be just a few moments. (Acknowledgement goes a long way with me...means you appreciate me). Once he finished with the prior client, he sat down with me and discussed what I needed. I was in town for work and glad to find John as my left shoulder was hurting from the uncomfortable hotel bed. I would reccomend John; especially for ongoing treatment. :) read more

I asked specifically for deep tissue, we went over my desires to relieve knots in trapezius area, but to my disappointment John seemed to go soft n avoid these areas. I even said he could go deeper but he said he wasn't done but never went deep or to neck or knots btwn shoulder blades. I don't know why it's so hard to get a deep tissue massage. Heartbroken... nice room n clean, Seemed knowledgeable,but not deep tissue massage. Geez it takes me 8 hours labor to pay for his 1 hour which I'd gladly pay for relief. maybe other therapist is better?? Nice massage but not if you're hurting like I am, it's a sad disappointment. read more

I highly recommend John Hill at space massage. Over the last 10 years I have received dozens of massages to aid in my recovery from a cervical spine fracture. John provided one of the best massages I've ever received. I travel a great deal for work. I've had massages all over the country. I now have a place I will be going every time My travels bring me to Phoenix. Thanks John! read more

Just finished our couples massage at Space Studio. John and Jessica did such an amazing job! The studio was peaceful, super clean, decorated to the nines, and both therapists were incredibly professional. We both currently feel like we are on cloud nine and could barely walk down the stairs to the car because we were so relaxed. We highly recommend! read more

Fantastic experience on a Saturday here at Space. Kayt was very professional and welcoming. She asked about what I wanted from the massage and I felt listened to. The massage itself was outstanding and consumed the entire booked time. Very relaxed and nicely appointed studio. I was looking for an experience between uptight resort and high turnover strip-mall, and Space Massage Studio fits in that sweet spot awesomely. I shall return! read more

I've had many deep tissue massages in my life. I do have to say. This is the best massage I have ever had. If there were more stars to give. I would. read more

I'm in town visiting my college aged kids. Since they are in class and I wouldn't get to see them for several hours, I decided I wanted a massage. I called and Jon got me right in. From first impression through leaving I'm impressed! His studio is peaceful, quiet, relaxing and very calming. My massage was incredible - therapeutic and relaxing - I didn't want it to end. He is an excellent, professional therapist in all regards. I'm grateful to see him once more before leaving town. Highly recommend! read more

Highly recommend!! 60 min massage with Kayt was amazing. I will be coming back to this massage studio as often as possible. Calming, clean and comfortable environment. Thank you, Space Massage. read more

Went for the first time, and I love it! I'm feeling so much more relaxed. My massage therapist was very professional! 10/10 would recommend.

John is truly a master of his craft. His massages help 'reset' whatever issue I have shown up with be they muscle aches, joint discomfort, a need to relax, reconnect, and reset, etc. Most recently, I was in because I am newly pregnant and feeling uncomfortable and disconnected from my changing body. I asked to feel more grounded and accepting of the physical changes that are happening, and left feeling so open, relaxed, and with a new sense of ease and excitement for my growing belly. There are many, many talented massage therapist in the world, but in all honesty John is hands down the best I've met. read more

I think my life has been changed. While visiting Phoenix, I decided I needed a massage to unwind from the daily stressors of life and toddlers. Best decision I've ever made! I was lucky enough to have John as my massage therapist. Not only did he give me the most mind blowing, body tingling, please don't ever stop massage, he had wonderful words of wisdom for how to refocus and reclaim some part of my core self, something I had forgotten I needed. The spa is hidden away in a pretty little building with no signage, and once you enter your mind is instantly put at ease. The beautiful aroma, relaxing music and calming decor is spot on. I will be back every time I visit Arizona. I may even be back specifically to get another massage from him. THE BEST! read more

Absolutely great experience last Thursday night for a 60 minute massage with John and my husband's massage with Stacy! We were their first customers to have massages in separate rooms at the same time in their new space...you never would have guessed it either! The atmosphere is serene and peaceful, the massage room and table were quite comfortable and the massage itself was therapeutic and quite relaxing. We'll definitely be back! read more

This place is completely amazing. After moving to Phoenix I used Yelp to find a good location to get deep tissue massages. The reviews have def stayed true to the experience. I have now visited Space Massage Studio four times been nothing but impressed during every visit here. I carry a lot of tension in my upper back and Stacey has been absolutely amazing using massage to help alleviate the pain in my upper back. Each time we've had a conversation about any issues I'm having and she's been able to zero in on those area.... working nothing short of magic! read more

Amazing massage with John! A true 5 star massage experience with his attention to detail from the beautiful space he created to the amenities included in the service. Will be back for another massage soon :) read more

THE BEST!!! CLEAN,PROFESSIONAL, AND HIGHLY SKILLED !!! A fantastic therapeutic experience and perfect couples massage setting.

Incredible place. My husband and I did a couples massage and both of us can honestly say we have never had a better massage! The owner John is incredible and so devoted to his craft. The space is lovely and it is clear from the moment you enter that you are going to have a very special experience! Prices are just right too! My recommendation-leave your masseuse a big tip!! They surely earn it. read more

I visited John last weekend after having done one too many burpees during my workout and was left with some lower back pain that barely allowed me to bend over. I found him on Yelp and the reviews sounded wonderful! I called on Friday afternoon and luckily John was able to get me in first thing the next morning. Amazingly, when I woke up the next morning, my back was about 90% better! Yippee! I thought about canceling the appointment since I was feeling so much better and saving the $$ but decided that since all the reviews were so fabulous on Yelp, I should go pamper myself a little bit. I have had a handful of massages in my life and I typically find massages just so-so regardless of the techniques. They always feel good but I've never been compelled to go back to a specific place because something felt incredible. I typically think a quick chair massage feels just as good to me as a full one hour massage. If I am going to go for a spa experience though, to me atmosphere is almost as important as the service so I really look for full experiences if I'm going to spend the money. When I arrived parking was plentiful since it was during the weekend and the studio is in a business complex. I must say, I would love to work in this building! Its very retro cool from what I saw on the short walk up the stairs to the second floor Space studio. It felt a little like something you would see in a movie. Maybe that's because I'm from the Midwest? Upon entering, I met John in the front room of the two room space and he warmly greeted me and we discussed what had happened to my back and my lifestyle. This discussion felt much different than what you typically get at any day spa or high end spa for that matter and felt more more like a treatment of the whole person rather than, 'what hurts and what pressure do you prefer?'. The space is very calm and comfortable. It was a bit intimidating at first being at a massage studio with seemingly no one around in the whole complex, with a man you just met and you are able to disrobe but based off other Yelpers reviews, I felt comfortable enough to go ahead with the massage. The back room is where the table is setup and the design feels warm and welcoming. The table was very comfortable and all through my massage, John put towels or pillows under certain areas to make sure I was as comfortable and as relaxed as possible. As other's have mentioned, the hot towels are a nice feature of the massage and I enjoyed those a lot. Throughout the massage it felt like he used various technics to help that specific area which was a welcomed new experience. It felt like he was actually paying attention to what each muscle needed individually rather than a canned performance throughout that you get at most places. As a whole, I can say the massage was one of the best I've ever had. I will say having my toes popped was new to me during a massage, and in general, and I'll probably request that be skipped next time. The massage oil had a very subtle scent that let me get through the rest of my morning and afternoon running around town without having to feel like I need a shower so that was nice as well. After the massage, I talked to John about his thoughts between yoga and Pilates since I work at a desk all day and my workouts are usually high intensity interval training sessions. He thought yoga would be more beneficial since I'm only really in full body relax mode when I'm sleeping so I'm looking forward to taking some classes at a studio he recommended close by my place! I think next time I'll plan a nice lunch at Postino's post massage with a glass of wine where I can enjoy my totally relaxed body. :) read more

This place is great and John really knows what he is doing. I am so excited, I was able to go to the gym and do certain workouts that hurt prior to my massage! I have gone to atleast 3 different massage therapists over the past year and not one was able to alleviate the pain I was having! The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, I would highly recommend Space Massage Studio. read more
