I would like to share what I think of Rod (Lawrence) Amburgy as a massage therapist. I am 67 yrs…read moreold and have been to a lot of different MT's, and I want everyone to know that out of all MT's that I had work on me, Rod is the absolute best at deep tissue massage. He is the most effective at working out any/all muscular or soft tissue aches or pains or strains of any type. Especially muscular knots that are really tight. He is also a really nice guy and I am definitely going to miss him after he is gone. I know that he will take excellent care of any/all of his new clients wherever he practices. Hank Myers

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.

I always recommend Dennis to people who want a therapeutic style massage. I have a very physical job and my body tends to hurt most of the time from my profession. So I require a deeper tissue style massage to help alleviate that strain and muscular pain. He knows how to release those muscles. I always feel like I got my money's worth as we all know massage is not cheap. I've always found him to be receptive to my needs and pain level/threshold. I'm very thankful for Dennis!

This guy should not be allowed to practice massage. I went to him and told him that I had a torn…read morerotator cuff that was very painful and that I would be having surgery soon. I went in wearing an arm sling and was very clear that I did not want my injured shoulder touched at all. In complete disregard of what I had said he proceeded to massage that shoulder, and even when I cried out in pain at what he was doing, he said 'good, now one more time' and repeated what had just caused me great pain. He is a terrible practitioner and I think his license should be revoked.

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!
