Best massage therapist in Seattle!…read more If you want someone who knows how your body works and can explain it to you, while making your feel comfortable throughout the whole process, go to Joe. Best body work.

I received my first massage from Joe today. I felt comfortable around him right away, which helped…read moreme to relax. One thing that I definitely noticed is that there was very little chit chat during the massage. Just a little brief chit chat here and there. I appreciated that not only because Joe wasn't too chatty (he and I did chat a little bit here and there, though, which was nice), but because I have received massage from over 70 massage therapists in the Seattle area over the past 20 years, and there are very few therapists that I feel comfortable enough with during the FIRST session to not feel at all compelled to chat with the therapist quite a bit during my massage. I usually want to know who is massaging me! I get curious about the person!! Haha. I can honestly say I've never received a massage quite like the massage that I received today from Joe. I enjoyed some interesting stretches, some neck work that felt very needed, and some great mid-to-low-back bodywork. Part of my Deep Lomi Style massage was done with me positioned side-lying - my favorite position in which to receive massage. I had checked in advance with Joe via e-mail about his safety procedures, and they're sound. He was able to leave the window open (at my request) during my massage, and he had an air purifier going also. He wore a mask for the entire duration of the intake, the massage, and the check-out. The music was soft, not too loud or intrusive, and it provided a lovely background noise. The lighting was perfect for me, I prefer the lighting to be slightly darker in the massage room since it's more relaxing for me that way. Joe checked in about the level of pressure, and he was very open and responsive to my feedback - which he strongly encouraged me to give - about level of pressure, position of my body and head on the table, preference for bolstering, any areas to avoid or go lightly on, type of oil used, and anything else that made the massage experience truly special. I felt that Joe went above and beyond to make sure that I felt cared for and attended to. Usually when I review a massage therapist here on yelp, I explain that I graduated from Port Townsend School of Massage in 2016 - however, I have never practiced massage professionally, since my life ended up going in a different direction at that time. So, I know a bit more about massage therapy than someone who doesn't have this particular educational background. I enjoyed my massage with Touch Factor Massage and Bodywork, I would receive massage from Joe again, and I would highly recommend this business to anyone who wants a truly unique and special massage experience.

Love the healing space at Sage Bodyworks!…read more The room is clean and in a well-lit space which brings a welcoming atmosphere for healing. Before the appointment, intake paperwork is done beforehand to ensure you get most out of your massage. A few days before, there are clear and concise directions on how to get to the office and access free parking. Yay organization! Sage Bodyworks offers a unique approach to massage, they focus on gentle and specific techniques over the typical deep tissue methods. I had my first craniosacral therapy session with Collin and it was great! He started with a quick assessment of the body and we started our session soon after. He is gentle, intuitive and clearly skilled with the work he does. Not only was it relaxing, it was effective in releasing tension throughout my body. After our session, Collin checked in with me to see how I was feeling and what I noticed during and after the process. If you're looking for a different approach to the conventional deep pressure massage, definitely check out Sage Bodyworks!

I'd been carrying heavy loads and traveling and swung one giant suitcase too many onto the conveyor belt which caused extreme pain and stiffness. I woke up one morning unable to move my arm above my head and thats when I went to Deep River Bodyworks. I actually had gone to see other people before, but they didn't really help solve the root of my pain. One session, advice on stretches and I was feeling brand new. The second time I went to see him, today actually, I was experiencing pain in my right hand, right foot (sole) and lower back. I discussed what problems I had, what my past few months were like and 1.5 hours later, the pain is gone. Oh yeah, sure, at first it was intense but over time, it started to feel like stretching and less sore. I walked out without any pain in my right foot, with my hands feeling loss and more importantly, with my lower back feeling actual relief. Twice he's listened and actually worked on the trigger points that cause pain, not necessarily the area where I have pain. He's more than a massage therapist!

Five stars doesn't even begin to cover it…read more I've been seeing Tayler for three months, and he's done more for me in those sessions than any sports medicine doctor, PT or other specialist has done in YEARS. I've dealt with chronic hip issues for five years, and have been an athlete my whole life and sustained many injuries or "traumas" as Tayler calls them. I originally scheduled an appointment for deep tissue massage completely oblivious to his other offerings. I ended up leaving that first appointment also getting gua sha, cupping and (the most life changing) P-DTR! Tayler uncovered and corrected countless neurologically-tied traumas I've just lived with for years thinking they were permanent. While some dysfunctions took two sessions to fix, others I have sustained and never had to deal with again after ONE session. The amount of pain relief I've had is truly unbelievable. Each session is tailored how I want it, sometimes I want more P-DTR work and other times I want more deep tissue work. He ALWAYS checks in that I'm consenting (I have never felt more comfortable as a woman with a male therapist) and answers every one of my many questions about his work with enthusiasm. He checks in after every session to see how my recovery is and if I notice any differences. I'm so much more aware of and in tune with my body now. There is no doubt Tayler loves what he's doing and wants to help as many people as he can with it. Book a session, you will NOT regret it.

Alongside his notable professionalism, he is funny, easy to be around, and flexible. 10/10 experience.
