This was my first time at Superior Therapeutic Solutions. I bought a voucher on Living Social a year ago. I forgot about it so and of course, it expired. Since the value would still be honored, I scheduled an appointment online and followed up with a call. This - by far - was one of my favorite massage therapy sessions. It is EVIDENT that Salik enjoys what he does - I could actually feel the pride he takes in caring - healing the body. My neck and shoulders were extremely tense. It was not a massage as usual. Salik allowed my muscles to dictate how he moved, the amount of pressure he applied and for the length of time spent on an area. At the end of the session, I could have taken a nap LOL. Salik shared valuable feedback. I look forward to returning again. read more

I am confused by the 1-star reviews for this establishment...I have had nothing short of a 5-star experience every time I have received a massage here. Everything from the ease of booking an appointment online to the divine life-changing deep tissue massages... I enthusiastically recommend Salik for the best massage in SOMA! read more

Terrible and confusing! I tried to make an appointment (2.5 weeks in advance) as a surprise for my husband, and it took about 10 minutes just for the receptionist to get the date, time and my email address. At the end of our conversation (after so much repeating and misunderstanding) she confirmed that everything was all set. I made plans around this appointment, so that my husband could have a fun-filled day on this special occasion. Two hours later, a man called and asked if I made an appointment and who I spoke to. The receptionist never mentioned her name, as she was barely capable of making an appointment for me. The man said people have been booking for times that are not available and he would have to get back to me. Two hours later he calls and says that there are NO times available that day. When I ask about the day before (which is a weekday), he claims nothing is available that day either. Since I am trying to book this over two weeks BEFORE the appointment and he was so quick to say "no nothing is available", I am assuming it's just this one guy working at this place. I would rather take my business to a more professional environment and I am doing just that! read more

My husband got me a post partum massage and it was the best gift and massage Ive ever had!! This is a no frills massage place, and reminds me alot like some of the places Ive been to in the city, above a hair salon. But Salik was very attentive, professional and addressed the areas I was feeling the most tension. He has a covid form to complete beforehand and takes your temperature before entering. He uses hot towels, oils and a lift cushion for your legs making it really relaxing. Being a new Mum with a 9 week old at home, this was a great break for my day. This massage is worth every penny! Go check it out! read more

Very personable and professional therapists. The rooms were satisfactory relative to the location. I received specific treatment and a lot of knowledge/tips in terms of self-help. read more

My experience so far is terrible. I also think its one guy working somewhere. I've tried booking this a couple of times and am getting nowhere fast. I have an amazon voucher i can't use because i can't book. I've tried calling and got nowhere. To book through the difficult website requires a deposit, beware! Use a different massage place. read more

I had a very good experience at STS. While the setting is "no-frills," it is comfortable and has everything you need at a reasonable price. The massage was comparable to ones I've had at fancy spas, and I was impressed with Salik's skill, approach and knowledge. I did have to wait a number of weeks to book a massage, but I received helpful reminder confirmations in advance, and my appointment was right on time. I plan to go back and recommend it to anyone who wants a straight forward, good massage! read more

A) Please beware of Salik's (the massage therapist) gimmick where he'll first provide you with a good massage if you're a Groupon customer. After the massage, he'll tell you that you should pay $40 upfront for a future massage. This would seem fair to the unsuspecting customer because Salik also claims that the standard price otherwise for a Swedish massage is about $80 (if I recall correctly). Now the scam begins- as they say the devil is in the details. If you then try to reschedule your appointment for which you had already paid for, he will demand another $25 by claiming that you should have called in advance for rescheduling. What he fails to take into account is that if you are trying to re/schedule an appointment at STS, no one EVER answers the phone so rescheduling is impossible until the day of the appointment. Then, Salik (the massage therapist) will finally answer the phone and tell you that since you were not able to reschedule within 24 hours of the appointment, the $40 that you have already paid will not be refunded! Think about it- if the customer were truly in the wrong, most other business owners would charge a certain % and refund the rest, but Salik takes the entire $40. Basically, he steals the entire sum of money and does not provide the service. It's the perfect crime! B) When I pointed this out to Salik and told him that this is not the way to build long-term relationships with clients, he said that STS is already running very successfully! C) Finally, the female bathroom at STS is also filthy. Better to hold it in and contract a UTI than to use the bathroom and contract an STD! D) Also, the building that STS is located in is a tad bit sketchy. Which would be fine if the business owner were ethical and respectful. But that is not the case here. Better to spend your money on a more deserving business! read more

I had a groupon and scheduled my massage. The office is on a second floor of a house with offices in it.... not a beautiful spa, but the massage made up for it. Had issues with my foot and back and Salik really knew his stuff! Seriously, I'd been for PT and spent two years going to a podiatrist, but this was the first relief I had. Also got relief from some chronic back issues. He takes his training very seriously and was going for more advanced classes the week after I was there. Yes- I believe he works on his own an uses a service to book appointments, but hang in there- it's worth it! I've been back twice since with out the groupon it was that good. read more
