It's been years since I reviewed Mad River Massage -- so long, I guess, that my previous review has…read morebeen retired. It's about time for a new rave anyway. I had an amazing massage here on a day when ski conditions seemed as though they'd be bad. I was pretty beat up from all the kid, ski, and kid-attached-to-skis schlepping; the many, many moguls my older one made me ski with him; and habitual hunching over my computer on top of all the usual aches and pains of my advanced age. A world-class massage therapist named Trish fixed me right up. Trish had wonderful energy and used a medley of techniques, mostly Swedish, touching me in places (very professionally!!) that probably only my mother has touched, including the insides of my ears. I don't know if that would come across as intrusive to another, but it made me feel warm, nurtured, and relaxed. All of her work was so completely non-judgmental and lovely. There are some massage therapists who are very fixated on symmetry, doing the same thing on both sides of the body in somewhat rote ways. Trish was not. She found areas of tension intuitively, working on troublesome areas as she found them. I have an incredibly hard time relaxing and finding stillness. My mind is always racing, it seems, with The Never-ending List of Things That Need Doing. This massage made me still and centered and released so much stress from my body. It was $90 for an hour-long massage. That's extremely reasonable by NYC standards, especially for this kind of quality.

Thankfully, the therapist that I had was extraordinary - Christine. Since my knots have knots currently, she certainly had her work cut out for her. The couples massage takes place in the salt cave. What a lovely, zen space! I kinda want to move in.... I left there feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Christine warned me that I would be sore and to drink a lot of water. I was definitely sore - but a really good sore. I drank lots of water and clean iced herbal tea for the rest of the day. I feel fabulous today and I plan to book another massage within a reasonable amount of time to try and avoid getting into the physical mess that I'm in! FYI - they're still following covid protocols - which I personally think is great. Once in the salt cave, masks can be removed (but the therapists do keep them on currently). The front door stays locked, so call ahead to book appointments or to shop for anything relating to Himalayan salt products. I'll definitely be back!

This review is specifically for TMJ massage, and even more specifically for TMJ massage performed…read moreby Jodee. I've had TMJ disorder since high school and, as I've aged, the flare-ups have gotten much worse--and way more frequent. My dentists over the years haven't been incredibly helpful; the only thing they really offer is a nightguard, which I basically wear until I gnaw holes through it. Rinse, repeat. Looking for more proactive solutions, I tried Botox--it offered relief, but not lasting relief. And it was EXPENSIVE. I've always loved massage, and I'd heard rumors of the slightly scary-sounding "intraoral" TMJ massages. I was shocked that no one local offers TMJ massage (or at least, don't advertise it). After expanding my search, I finally found the Salt Cave, 55 minutes away. Figuring it couldn't hurt to try, I emailed the Salt Cave and Jodee responded right away. I would travel to the ends of the earth for the relief that Jodee has given me. I haven't had a real TMJ flare-up since I've started seeing her, and I've been seeing her for about four months now. The miracles she has worked on my jaw are seriously ... well, miraculous. I'm no longer constantly massaging a swollen, painful cheek, or feeling that pop when I open my mouth too wide. Even after the first visit I noticed a seriously impressive difference. I'm more cognizant of my posture, my stress levels, and my face in general. Not only is Jodee amazing at TMJ massages, and not only is the pricing very reasonable for the amount of relief she provides. Jodee just also happens to be a darn sweetheart. These may not be the supremely relaxing spa massages we're used to falling asleep in, you may have to participate, and you even get homework, but I leave Jodee each time feeling energized, invigorated, and physically stronger than when I walked in. Jodee makes fun chitchat, checks in with you on comfort levels, and above all listens to you and your body. An example: one visit, I had recently suffered the worst migraine of my life, brought about by changing medications, high humidity, and PMS. I let Jodee know that I would likely have more jaw tension because of this ... and she went to town on my neck, working the specific muscles that were still screaming, while still not neglecting my jaw. She even educated me on the areas I can massage myself, and loaned me a neck-training device to see if it would help. She gets no money from that; I wouldn't be buying such a device from her. She's just that caring and kind, and genuinely wants to help people feel the best that they can. Jodee's a healer. And I didn't know that TMJ was something that could be healed or even improved, until I met her. Grateful for her every single day, and can't wait to see her again.

It was from the massage (stretching R leg) and more. She claimed to be a specialist with people that have hip injuries , as I am waiting for a hip replacement. I was in terrible pain, and I was tearing off and on throughout it, I was telling her I had pain, and she kept saying it will feel better after don't worry. Repeatedly trying to tell me that I was breathing wrong, and to breathe like childbirth, breathe out. I explained all my injuries, and then she lied to me in my face today, first time I've been back. Totally unprofessional, never had this experience at any ski resort in my life. I go to France, Switzerland, and I'm from Colorado. This is why I will never live in Killington or near it ever again. Bad service, the first time I was ever called a liar to my face. I am Catholic, and I always treat people with love, but here it was far different than that. I'll be letting all my friends know, they come in from Colorado, and they are Olympians, even all the way from Wyoming and CDA Idaho. The reason I moved here is there is a pro snowboarder that lives in Shelburne and that is the reason I moved to the State. I thought this would be a wonderful place. The manager never called me back after my injury by the employee, and she was conveniently unavailable again today.

They offered me a cup of tea while I was waiting, which I appreciated. While the stylist was very pleasant and the hair cut wasn't bad (and not much more expensive than a chain like Supercuts), the bangs were uneven and not as I requested. I went home and trimmed them more to my liking, as it was clear that the stylist wasn't much of a perfectionist and I was nervous about them becoming too short. Overall, I was impressed by the presentation and vibe of the salon, but the haircut was underwhelming.
