At the Perfect Massage & Oriental Bodywork the owner Luba is an excellent massage therapist. Have…read morebeen going to her for over five years now. I was so tired of going places to have a deep tissue therapeutic massage and instead being given a glorified Swedish (relaxation) massage for barely 50 minutes out of a hour appointment. Luba offers Ashiatsu massages where she can deliver greater pressure to the muscle groups, and she does so for the full appointment time and at fair prices. One thing I really like about Luba's technique and professionalism is that if she comes across a real sore spot will she do some extra focus time on that area so you can have some therapeutic gain. Have also had Thai and hot stone massages from her and even send my mom to her as well. - Joe V

Lily's clinic stood out from the rest due to her experience working in chiropractic care as well as her years of experience. She runs the clinic on her own, so you will have her undivided attention from check-in to check-out! Heated massage table and a fluffy over-sized towel are just a couple of things she offers to make you feel comfortable and relaxed during your session. Upon leaving Lily sends you off with a cold bottle of water to hydrate post-massage. Fair prices and excellent service are guaranteed at this clinic! I will be back!

How lucky was I to discover Avondale Massage Clinic. Lily Rubin is simply the best. By far, the…read morebest massage I have ever received. My only regret is that I don't live in the area, but I can assure you, when visiting Jacksonville, She will be one of the first calls I make.

If you're in need of a deep tissue massage, this is the place to go! Both therapists, Crystal and…read moreShaun, are excellent. I've been working with Crystal for about a year now.

I had severe knots in my shoulders and neck and was desperate for a therapist but didn't know where to go too. Luckily my coworker recommended me to go to Massage in Session and it was conveniently located to Avondale. Now I am very picky about my therapist but was so relieved when my first session was completed. Crystal took out some of my knots (I already made my next appointment) and know it will take several sessions to get them completely out. What I didn't realize was how truly messed up I was. My thighs were tight, my one hip locked up and she was able to pop it back in place. Even with yoga and stretching that one hip has been a problem. She literally healed me. I'm excited and look forward to my next appointment and to complete healing. I am very fortunate to have really amazing insurance that covers the cost and I just have to pay the copay. I truly believe in massage therapy and that it's one of the things that people should incorporate in their well being. Unfortunately many people feel that getting a massage is a luxury and not an essential part of staying fit. If you're able to get insurance to cover some of the cots, I can guarantee monthly massages will get rid of the majority of health issues you encounter. And hopefully you don't wait until the pain is too severe. And if you're looking for a professional massage therapist in Riverside/Avondale area, you found your place.

Her massage skills and technique are second to none. She has an inherent ability to instinctively know exactly what your body needs without having to say a word. I'm a tough case in that I have a sensitive body that doesn't always respond well to touch, but she knew with an almost psychic ability exactly how to handle my physical needs. I was comfortable and comforted by the entire treatment. I felt not only physical relief, but an emotional release as well after our session was complete. It goes without saying that I will be back. She is, without a doubt, the best massage therapist I've ever encountered and Jacksonville is very fortunate to have her.

No, this is where you come when you want to do serious work to resolve issues that no one else can cure. The therapist, Deborah Wooding, is insightful, knowledgeable and serious about what she does. You start my telling her your issues and she will ask you a number of questions before she is ready to begin. When she is satisfied that she understands what your needs are, she will begin. Now here is a warning, she is freakishly strong, so don't worry if you have to tell her to back off. She is happy to be do so and won't tell your friends you are a wimp. I found that she addressed some things that I did not understand she could address. For instance, I had some breathing issues and I said this to her in passing. Before I knew it she was massaging my intercostals, the muscles between your ribs, and my breathing issues were 90% reduced. So don't be scared to layout all your symptoms to her. She also does electric-stem, postpartum, pregnancy and something called pulsed electromagnetic field, which I am not going to even ask about.

My wife gifted me a lovely Groupon to try Sandra's and I scheduled for this past weekend. The practice is well laid out. You walk in to a waiting area that has some relaxing music playing. When it was my time to get massaged, I walked into a large room with a massage table in the middle. The dim lights are perfect, the music and nature sounds are relaxing, and I think there are some essential oils/humidifier action going. The massage itself was relaxing and not hard. This would be the perfect massage for someone under stress or who wants to try a massage for the first time. The heat from the stones was never uncomfortable and the oils used made my skin feel wonderful. I enjoyed it all but I really like the feet rub since I have been running a lot. All in all, it was a nice experience.
