DO NOT GET A MASSAGE HERE!
So I had bought the Groupon deal for a massage, and this was one of the participating locations.
My massage was AWFUL! I am in SO much pain today. Literally my whole back and neck are killing me. I don't know what this chick did to me, but it does NOT feel good.
I told her I had injuries from a car accident and just wanted light pressure. But several times I was left saying "OW!" And today my physical therapist said my muscles were extremely tense and in worse shape than she left me on Monday. Yikes.
The girl who did my massage was nice, but she would not stop talking the entire time! I wanted to relax and enjoy my hour massage, but I had to keep answering her questions. After my massage, I didn't feel relaxed at all.
The ambiance was also not up to par. The room was just quiet, there was none of the relaxing music I had expected.
Another thing that I thought was really weird was that there was a bottle of Walmart brand olive oil on her work table. Is that what you're rubbing down clients with? When my massage was over, I literally had to wipe myself down because I was more oily than McDonald's fries. i had to go home and take a shower because I was so greasy.
I've gotten a FREE massage that was 20 times better than this one that I paid for. I also wasn't in awful pain after my free massage like I am after this one.
Needless to say, I'm never going back there again. I guess it should have been a red flag that their company font is Papyrus!
*EDIT*
So after the first massage, Utah Valley Chiropractic had seen my review and called offering me another massage to make up for how bad the first one was. I figured why not, I'm not about to turn down a free massage.
I had a massage scheduled with the lady who works in the mornings instead of the girl I had before, the one who works in the afternoon.
This massage was 100 times better. When I got into the room, there was no Walmart olive oil on the work table, so that is definitely a plus. There was also relaxing music playing, which I very much enjoyed. The lady didn't bombard me with questions the entire time, just a few times asking if the pressure was too much.
I also didn't feel like I was hit by a truck the next day. The pressure she used was perfect and I left feeling very relaxed and still felt good the next day.
Also, the massage lotion she used smelled great and didn't leave me greasy and gross feeling like last time.
So I changed my review to an average between the two experiences I had. If you do decide to get a massage here, go with the lady who works in the mornings. read more
