I had my very first appointment with Bill at the William John Massage Studio on February 28, and let me just say it was the best massage I have had in life thus far. I've had many massages, but this one tops them all. Upon entering the Studio I immediately felt relaxed. The decor, music and atmosphere were very relaxing. I completed the new client paper work then we headed to the massage room. The room was just as relaxing as the front room. The entire studio was open, clean and fresh. Now onto Bill himself. Excellent masseur through and through. Prior to starting the massage Bill and I sparked a little conversation; which for some can ease nervousness dealing with a new massage therapist. Bill is easy to chat with and helpful with random information (i.e. I'm heading to San Francisco and he recommended some places for me to check out; which I plan to do). He's definitely fantastic at what he does. His expertise allowed my session to be relaxing and enjoyable. He stressed the open line of communication which was very important to me so that I may communicate my likes and dislikes (side-note... no dislikes). He applied the perfect amount a pressure needed to work some of my most tender muscles as well as explained various things during our session. Because my muscles are very tense he stretched my legs in a way that allowed for a little more flexibility for a short time (need more stretching for better longer lasting flexibility). When my session was over Bill explained some things I can do on my own to stretch my most tense areas. Bill took the time to write down some things I should look up to relieve a lot of tension. I was very eager to schedule another session with Bill and so I did. I'm looking forward to my next session and other near future sessions. I'm definitely spreading the word about the William John Massage Studio. read more

That was the difference between a massage and a massage therapist. Bill made that massage therapy session so good, it made the Four Seasons look like a rub down from your boyfriend. Just blah. Bill is amazing! read more

One of the best massage therapists I have ever seen - hands down. Extremely beautiful and clean studio! I recently had a fracture in my back and have been having a lot of pain in the most difficult to find areas, until one session with Bill. He found every spot that has been hurting and fixed the pain. Fixed many problems as well. Felt amazing the next day. Extremely knowledgable and professional - will be back many times to see him. -Fred read more

Bill was fantastic. It was my very first massage and he made me feel super comfortable and did a fantastic job. He told me my problem areas as we progressed through the session and gave me tips on what I could do at home to improve them. I'd recommend him to anyone. If you get lost you can access his office by entering Greene Turtle and walking upstairs to the second floor. You'll see a sign :) read more

There is just not enough words to express how much Bill is a class act. He is excellent at his craft and his knowledge of the human body is rare from a massage therapist. My first three sessions immensely fixed long-term chronic issues that my physical therapist struggled to cure. I simply listened very carefully to everything he said to perform post-session, and my body improved 10 fold. When you schedule a follow up session, he examines and notifies you of your improvements, or lack of. How many therapist even think to do that? No need take my word for it, but he is the real deal. read more

I had my first appointment two months ago with Bill. He was very good with working out my back problem. I set up another appointment. It was canceled due to his father's illness. I set up another appointment which was canceled because he was out on paternity leave, OK I can understand that. I set up another appointment which was confirmed and there was no one there. I think they close the business down without notifying anybodyI read more

I have gotten massages other places, mostly chains, and they absolutely don't compare to the service and talent at William John Massage Studio. Bill is awesome! He is friendly and professional and focused on making sure clients have the best possible experience. The client's comfort is a priority of his throughout the entire process. From greeting you by name and having a bottle of water waiting for you when you enter the studio, to asking what kind of music you prefer and where you would like him to focus during the session. He definitely takes cues from the client during the session, if you aren't in a chatty mood then he won't try to make conversation, but if you feel like talking he is ready to interact with you and chat about anything. During the session, Bill answered all of my questions and encouraged me to ask more. He took the time after the session to show me some techniques I could do at home to help keep my muscles loose. Most importantly, I felt great after the session. I will definitely be going back! read more

If you're looking for some legit body work, this is the place to go. I've been an athlete for most of my life and have had more massages than I can count to work out the knots and sore spots that come with months of wear and tear. This is probably one of the best massages that I've ever had. I love that I leave feeling pleasantly sore -- I know that those problem areas have been worked on. Before the massage, Bill took the time to ask me about my problem areas, spots that were bothering me, recent injuries, concerns etc. Then for the next hour, he proceeded to find every knot in my back and shoulders and recommended stretches for my tight hammies and hips. After our session, he showed me some other stretches to help stretch my rounding shoulders from hours of computer work. it's an awesome place for a high quality massage in a great location in Towson. read more

I've been coming to see Bill at William John Massage Studio for a little over two years now and I couldn't be happier. I have chronic back issues that the staff have always taken time to understand, address, and help me understand how to improve in my day to day life. This isn't your ordinary run-of -the mill massage by any means - they listen to your issues, and constantly modify their approach based on you, your anatomy/physiology, and your individual needs. I've had the opportunity to get massages all over the world, and I can say with confidence that William John Massage Studio is able to provide service that exceeds my needs and has me walking away from their office more healthy then when I came in the door. The office is comfortable and simply designed, staff friendly and super knowledgable, music choice A+ (if you want new-age whale songs and rain sticks I'm sure they'd play it, but otherwise its just a great relaxing playlist), and the quality of their care and service second to none. Case and point: Bill was recently out on paternity leave (congrats!) and somehow took the time that week to ensure that I had updates/information and my scheduled session was rebooked at a time that respected my crazy schedule. Thanks for all your hard work Bill & team! read more

I highly recommend William John Massage Studio! Bill is a talented therapist and is sincerely interested in relieving muscle pain and treating chronic ailments through massage and exercise. He thoroughly listened to my history and complaints, and pinpointed my problems through touch. I had a deep tissue massage with Bill and now I feel significantly better! He was able to relieve my aches and pains and muscle tightness I experience because of my job. I was impressed by Bill's professionalism and he really made me feel relaxed. The decor of the studio is lovely and welcoming. The studio is small, but charming, consisting of only a check in area, dressing room and the massage room. I will most definitely be returning for regular massages in the future. read more

I have a fantastic massage by Paula who was friendly, professional and skilled. The environment was clean and calm and the music was perfect (She asked if it was okay or I had a musical preference before we started but she was already playing what I like; it was a nice change from the usual instrumental nature music). I liked the massage so much that I immediately bought a package and booked my next one! read more

The absolute best all around experience I could hope for. I go to Bill for deep tissue and sports massage: intensive work on deep-seated knots and muscle tension. I've never had a more perceptive and skilled person work on me. Truly a caring and nice guy, Bill is really easy going and easy to talk to. He's great at before and after consultations, getting to know your wishes and sources of discomfort. He will guide you on what to do at home if you want to keep up the work on your own. Beautiful peaceful location, great service, his wife even did the restored furniture! If you're looking real quality work, Bill is the best. I consider him a friend and I don't even go that often... read more

Great experience with a highly talented and knowledgable therapist! I highly recommend Bill's services. His location is very convenient, space is peaceful and prices are reasonable! read more

Absolutely the best massage I have received in a long time! The studio is beautiful and the surroundings are serene and calming, even though it is right in the heart of Towson. I suffer from constant lower back and shoulder pain due to a grueling travel schedule with my job and try to get massage therapy once a week. This is the first massage therapist that has really helped eradicate my lower back pain. read more

Was referred to William by a trusted friend... and was beyond impressed! I had one of the most effective and thorough massages with tight knots worked through and out... ones I didn't even know existed! William took the time to listen to what discomforts I was feeling and identify the cause and how to treat and work through the problems. His studio is clean and soothing. Thank you William for a great massage... can't wait to come back! read more

The best massage I've ever had, 100 times over. Bill takes the time to understand why you are seeing him and has an impressive understanding of his craft. I had been struggling with neck/shoulder pain for the last month after a lifting injury, and he pinpointed the problem within minutes. I left pain free. I cannot recommend him and his studio enough. Truly an out-of-body experience. read more

I had an absolutely wonderful first experience at William John Massage Studio! The studio itself was quaint, beautifully decorated, and emitted nothing but positive, relaxing energy (especially loved the music!). This was my first time with a male massage therapist, and I have to say that Bill was really great! He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel 100% comfortable from start to finish. He also took the time to explain to me more about my problem areas, and showed me some techniques that I could try at home on my own. This was hands-down the best massage I've ever had (I opted for the 90-minute deep tissue) and I will definitely be back again! Thanks so much! read more

I started going to Bill months before leaving for the lacrosse World Cup this past July. Consistently going in for therapy after a long training weekend with the US team or before traveling to the next one. I cannot rave enough about Bill and his practice. I have had plenty of sports massages and Bill's is the best yet. A relaxing and professional environment that made me feel very comfortable off the bat. I am always a little worried about going to a new masseuse with so many unknowns and what not. But Bill is super easy to connect with and very informative. He educated me during the massage and gave me different exercises and stretches after to help me with my targeted issues. The session was entirely catered to what my body and muscles needed and I left feeling completely taken care of. He set me up for major success and I would not have been able to perform through such intense training without his help. Would HIGHLY recommend this studio to anyone looking for an immediate impact on your physical wellness! read more
