I have had chronic pain and the work she did today, I have not felt this good in months. Thank you to all for your reviews, the "The Way Massage" is great!!

The Way Massage Therapy is an amazing place for massage therapy--they are the BEST! Due to a…read morechronic neck issue, I have been to a few spas over the years. After finding The Way - it is now the ONLY place that I will go to for massage. Carolyn is INCREDIBLE. Her deep tissue massages are straight-up miracle work!!! She is able to relieve built-up tension, discomfort and knots that other therapists elsewhere never seemed to be able to fully resolve. She is hands-down the best massage therapist in the area. She takes excellent care of her clients and is fully dedicated to providing the best massage experience(s) possible. I referred my wife to Carolyn, as well - and now she is a huge fan too! Carolyn and The Way have been incredible to my family and our self-care. This is a top-notch establishment with OUTSTANDING service! If you're in need of a massage, GO HERE!

What is unacceptable is the lack of responses to any mode of communication (texts, calls, voicemails, emails), but they do charge a credit card although they are notified for cancellation more than 24 hour ahead of scheduled appointment .

Prior to the massage, I appreciated her getting to know me a bit more so that she could be in tuned with the places which I felt needed attention. She is extremely empathetic, personable and sincere, asking how I was feeling throughout the process as to check in while also allowing me to focus on how my body was responding to the massage. I felt supported in the very calming environment that she has created and really do recommend it to anyone who is interested in massage therapy; Heidi made my first experience very positive and comforting.

I've been living in the Porter Square area of Somerville for a little over two years now. I've…read morebeen to about 6 different massage therapists from various companies and locations. Where many of them have been good, only one of them have made me want to book another appointment right away. Emily Taylor is a fantastic massage therapist. She's very knowledgeable and has a great talent in finding problem points. I have seen her three times in the last two months and I've already booked my fourth visit. I felt pretty great from other massage therapists in the area, but I feel fantastic when I'm done with Emily. She was able to hone in on bad spots in my shoulder's nerve causing some numbness in my fingers, help one of my ribs go back to the right place, and almost put me to sleep when she massaged my head and neck. She doesn't have a static routine she works through every visit. She will get everywhere you ask, but she has a talent to find out where you need it most. I remember how I felt after my very first professional massage therapy session and she makes me feel that good every time. A+++ Will schedule again! [Edited 10/19/2015 for some grammar related fixes.]

I went in just hoping for some basic deskwork tension release in my back and shoulder. I'm a programmer and get a "tune-up" massage every 6-12 months or so. I've lived in Boston for 9 years and have tried 9 different masseuses - I've had bad massages, and I've had pretty good ones, but I haven't had one that was like, oh man, I need to repeat that. But... I think I finally found my masseuse guys. She gave me the best massage I've had in YEARS. Why would going deep in a particular area of my shoulder cause my left foot to tingle? Why is the slight lower back pain I've had for months now gone after she fixed a weird alignment thing in my right hip I didn't even realize was there, but that she felt? Why is it 3 days later and I still have that buttery calm post-massage feeling (I showered, I promise, so it's not that!)? She uses yummy smelling natural stuff like coconut oil and shea butter with essential oils - no mystery chemical smells while the massage is going on. Her space in Arlington is relaxed and clean and homey. I've mostly gone to more spa-like environments for massages and wasn't sure what this would be like, but I can say the coziness and warm lighting was preferable! All that said, she could move her practice to the #1 bus stop in Central Square and I'd probably still go see her. That's how good she is. She is a truly special talent in this field and I'll be going back as often as my wallet allows it :)
