My partner booked me an appointment for my birthday a few weeks ago. I had never had a professional massage before. He signed me up for "The Rub" I believe, which is a 90 minute session. Emily made me feel 100% comfortable. As a person who has touch anxiety and trauma, I couldn't have asked for a better first experience. I specifically like the hot towel at the very end. Afterwards, the massage therapist sat down with me and talked to me about my massage and let me know how I could benefit from more sessions. I was even asked if I'd like water or tea when I come out. The room you enter from and end in is a super relaxing, dark room. I like that you don't come right out into a fluorescent lighted area. Definitely a 5 star rating from me ! read more

Specialties

That’s the Rub is Bloomington’s results-oriented therapeutic massage center — not a spa, not a chain, and definitely not a place where every body gets the same routine. Every session starts with one question: What is YOUR goal? Your therapist builds a custom treatment plan around the answer. Chronic low back pain? Post-surgical recovery? Training for a marathon? Desk job destroying your shoulders? We design the work around what your body actually needs, using our signature KI Process™ — a clinical approach that blends deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, craniosacral work, stretching, and more into a single cohesive treatment. What sets us apart: → No memorized routines. Every session is built for YOUR body, YOUR goals. → Continuity of care. Your therapist picks up where you left off last time. → licensed massage therapists with diverse specialties. → A private personal training gym for facilitated stretching and strength work. → The Body Boutique—curated skincare, body care, and local gifts. We offer therapeutic massage, deep tissue, hot stone, sports massage, CBD massage, Thai massage, lymphatic drainage, craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, reflexology, pregnancy massage, cupping therapy, facilitated stretching, and personal training. Sessions available in 60, 90, and 120 minutes. Open six days a week in downtown Bloomington. Walk-ins welcome when available, but we recommend booking ahead—our therapists fill up.

History

Established in 2009.

Lisa and Jim Keplinger opened That’s the Rub in 2009 with a simple belief: everyone deserves to feel confident and capable in their own body and therapeutic massage should deliver real, measurable results, not just an hour of relaxation. That philosophy drove everything that followed. We developed the KI Process™, our signature treatment methodology that combines clinical assessment with personalized hands-on care. It’s what made us famous and what keeps clients coming back year after year. In 2014 we launched The Body Boutique, bringing curated skincare, wellness products, and local art into our space. In 2021 we founded the Keplinger Institute of Therapeutic Massage & Wellness to train the next generation of KI Massage therapists right in Bloomington and beyond. Sixteen years in, we’re still growing — and still asking every client who walks through the door: What is YOUR goal?

Meet the Business Owner: Lisa K.

Lisa Keplinger didn’t just open a massage therapy center — she built a training ground for what therapeutic massage can actually accomplish when you take it seriously. A nationally board-certified massage therapist and Condé Nast-recognized spa consultant, Lisa spent years directing and training therapists at top-rated resort spas across the country before bringing that expertise home to Bloomington in 2009. She developed the KI Process™, the results-oriented treatment approach that defines everything we do at That’s the Rub. In 2021, she founded the Keplinger Institute to formalize that training, partnering with Ivy Tech to mentor the next generation of therapists. Today Lisa focuses full-time on education and training — which means every therapist on our team carries her methodology into every session. When you book with any of our therapists, you’re getting the benefit of Lisa’s two decades of clinical experience, passed down hands-on.

Senoj Salon

Seriously the best salon I've ever been to. I discovered Alex at Senoj while I was in college in…read moreBloomington and I have loved my hair every time I go to her! The girl knows what she is doing when it comes to blonde balayage! The people who work here are so kind. They are very transparent about pricing and their additional cost services which I love because I know exactly what I am paying for. The value of the salon experience is top tier. I especially love the Milkshake products they use, they smell so good and leave my hair in amazing condition.

Booked a morning appointment and rescheduled me for the afternoon after I communicated that this would conflict with my photo time. I requested to wait in lobby to see if I could be accommodated and was told to not bother. As a result, I was left without the ability to book where else for an important event. Extremely unprofessional service I recommend booking elsewhere.

She even came out to where we were getting ready on my wedding day to do our hair, for no extra charge. I have been let down so many times by getting my hair done for special events, but Felicia did an amazing job! Her prices for hair and makeup are very reasonable. She is very easy going, punctual, and made the whole experience very enjoyable.

Heritage Hair Studio

Love love love! I wary of getting my hair done by anywhere except my salon at home (in Indy) but I…read moredecided to try out Heritage Hair after hearing so many good reviews from friends. I called to see if they had any open appointments and was able to come in only an hour after I called. The studio is still very covid safe so you have to wear a mask while you're there and they ask you to wash your hands before coming in - very sanitary! I was greeted in the parking lot by my stylist who explained the whole process step by step. She asked me about my hair care routine/products so she could best advise me on how to get my hair the way I want it on a daily basis. All of the information and product suggestions were comforting to hear because she really knew what she was talking about and it didn't seem like she was just trying to sell me a product. (My stylist was Courtney, but all of the stylists were super friendly and sweet) I got a quick hair consult, shampoo/wash, scalp massage, diffusion, cut and style for only $33 which is insanely good pricing for any salon I've been to! The aesthetic of the studio itself is very calming and the staff are great as well. I will now recommend this studio to all of my friends who are searching for an affordable hair place they can trust to get everything right.

Very bad timing for me and unprofessional of her. Maybe this is how she does business. Now that I read sue o had a similar experience, I am disappointed because we all look forward to getting our hair done for special occasions. I'd be cautious to make an appointment with her again. And maybe others have had a similar experience with her??
