Following what he did to me, I immediately contacted Victoria Police Bayside SOCIT team and filed a police report. Max Therapies have been made aware of his conduct on several occasions, yet have taken no action as he continues to work there. Tell any person in your life, especially women to stay far away from this place and this man.

Great massage but the receptionist tried to charge me for 90 minutes when it was 60 minutes. The…read morereceptionist told me it was 80 minutes even though the staff told her it was only one hour. I then sat in the office for over 30 minutes for her to give me a refund or even get a refund. My stress free night is completely ruined by this disgusting behaviour. The owner charged me the right price for what I paid for in the end after having to fight for it and they seemed as though I should be thankful though I HAD TO FIGHT TO GET A REFUND AND I SPENT 30 MINUTES WAITING. Save yourself the trouble and DO NOT EVER GO HERE, I now will have to spend more money having another massage elsewhere to try and actually de-stress from this horrific horrific experience. Never encountered such disgusting behaviour when going to get a massage.

Groupon deal - 1 hour massage for 2 people…read more Pleasant after a rocky start. Using a groupon, I had to book ahead of time however upon arrival my booking was not in place. Most staff have limited English ability and thank goodness my broken Chinese got me through. 1 staff member was ready when we got there and though my booking wasn't in her schedule she started my treatment as soon as she could and was friendly and did as about the pressure and so on. My friend had to wait for another staff member who was late on the train due to terrifying Melbourne weather and the employee could speak some English which was helpful. When my treatment was done, several people were waiting in line and another customer walked out of her treatment saying "that was so good". Overall, I see people have had bad experiences however mine was pretty positive. I would come back here without a groupon...it shows the importance of staff capability and atmosphere of a business though. I have attached photos of the reception and yes the massage tables are mostly separated by curtains. From my experience i'd give it a shot...Chinese therapy and masage can include cupping, and is generally quite vigorous as they work on points on the meridian like acupuncture. My friend has just walked out and said "that was pretty good and the pressure was strong".

If only there was an option for no stars. My partner and I had a terrible, overpriced experience…read more The staff did not greet us, instead making us wait while they ignored us and fawned over a baby for 20+ minutes (we were on time) before essentially grunting at us to move to the massage area (a row of beds behind curtains - don't expect actual rooms here). The massage itself was done by staff who obviously had little experience and were very unfriendly. Without asking, the "therapists" proceeded to do cupping for the majority of the hour, which was painful as they moved over bony protrusions (technique was poor). My partner and I were left with the grotesque cupping bruises for over a week (which we were not warned about). Note: Payments are prior to service and you need to claim back to your private health provider later as they do not have a hicaps machine. At $150 for the hour (before rebate), I would have expected a far better experience and level of professionalism, and plain courtesy. Extremely disappointed to have wasted so much money on this awful place.

They'll massage you in that "I'm not quite sure if this feels good or bad" kind of way which will have you taking deep breaths and going to your happy place so you don't whimper like a baby. But trust me, it's good for you! You will walk out of there feeling like you've had three martinis and a muscle relaxant. - Expect clean, simple rooms. - Expect relaxing music (but not the dolphin kind) and a bit of noise from the outside arcade. - Expect strong pressure and poking fingers that will work every muscle in to submission. - Expect to drool just a little. - Expect to pay $70 for an hour long massage (neck, shoulders, back and legs) and expect to get an immediate refund from your health insurance provider. - Expect that you will want to go back on a regular basis and that getting an appointment (sometimes on the spot!) will be relatively easy.
