Firstly, the massage therapist wore gloves, which was odd, and didn't feel too nice. Secondly, she didn't focus on my head and neck as asked. She mainly did my upper back, and worked out knots in between my shoulder blades, which was painful. I know it's tense, it always will be from my job... when I want a Swedish, please stop trying to do a deep tissue. It hurts and it leave feeling angry because I wanted to relax, not feel pain. She also hardly did my scalp and neck at all, and that was the ONE place she didn't apply pressure. I'll continue my search for somewhere else.

For the past five years, I have been struggling with balance issues and neuropathy in my hands and…read morefeet. MDs that I had consulted had prescribed medication, but nothing had helped. I found Balance Wellspace Integrative Medicine, which advertised that it helped with these issues. After reading the reviews and researching the company, I scheduled a preliminary consultation to see if they could help me with my problems. I told them that I had been struggling with this for over five years and explained that traditional medicine offered no answers. The team at the center conducted an evaluation and provided me with an 8-week plan consisting of three sessions per week. While there was no guarantee that their treatments would help, they led me to believe that they had treated others with similar conditions. They cited cases in which other patients had resumed an active life and engaged in activities such as playing golf. After faithfully attending each session, I noticed no change in my symptoms or function, which was a clear sign that the treatments were ineffective. I believe that they should have known, following their initial evaluation, that they wouldn't be able to do anything with their treatments that would actually work for me. I invested a great deal of time and money in what appears to be an empty promise. While I know there was no guarantee, I want to warn others before they put time and money into an empty promise.

I made an appointment for my aching lower back, which has been problematic for years. My first…read moretreatment went well, with an extensive discussion of my general health and lifestyle, pain issues, etc. Greg did a treatment which consisted of acupuncture and massage, and my back did feel better for a day or two. That's when the problems started. The next step is to have a conversation with Greg's associate Jonathan, who spends over an hour on the phone giving you the hard sell, replete with the psychological tricks, upsells, financial discussions and pressure tactics you'd expect in buying a car, not treating a medical condition ("if you sign the contract today..."). But the coup de grace is when they send you the contract. Yes, you need to sign a contract to get treated, and not your garden-variety 'I understand there are risks involved' type. No, this one's a full-bore, legalese 7-pager, replete with non-disclosure, payment and collection terms, release from liability (even for injuries caused by negligence), etc. They require payment for all 4 months of treatment, presumably even if you decide to cancel [I refused that part up front, so they changed it slightly but not much.] And, by the way, I spent 30 years in business management and understand how to read contracts; I pity the less experienced person who's supposed to get through this with no preparation. I was looking for medical treatment, not to negotiate my future. I don't understand why anyone would get involved with this to get your back pain treated. Beware!

This is the real deal.. I really did not know what to think when I went to the center. Truthfully,…read moreI said to myself this is going to be some long drawn out process to suck up my money. The owner/practioner proceeded to do an intake asking all the basic questions that a physician would ask. He talked to me and asked me to lay on the table as he proceeded to lower the lights. He then stuck two needles in each extremity and told me to relax as he placed a heat lamp over my abdomen. I almost drifted off to sleep after a while. When it was over he returned to the room removed the needles and that was it or so I thought. After I paid his father I proceeded to my car and suddenly noticed .............My pain and stiffness were gone. Still not truly believing that this could be possible I drove home. I went into my home and told my husband that something strange happened. I said, " The pain is gone."This was not at all what I expected. That was almost 4 weeks ago and some part of me wants not to believe that the pain that I have lived with off and on for years has suddenly left my body. The Dancing Crane is Salem's best kept secret. When I return to my Primary Care Physician, I will recommend The Dancing Crane to all of her hard to treat patients with chronic pain issue. This is my first review and I plan to give frequent updates. The facility is exceptionally clean and has a soothing vibe.

I've been having weekly massages with Kate for 6 weeks or so now, and I cannot recommend her…read moreenough. Massage is critical for my health, as I've got a disabling chronic illness that keeps me quite sedentary (and with a hyper-sensitive nervous system and low pain tolerance). I've had monthly massage as part of physical therapy, for years- but since March 2020 I hadn't had a single one. So I was in pretty bad shape when I first went to Kate. And by the end of my 60-minute session, my chronic pain was so far reduced by her skill, I almost wept with relief. She's not the cheapest massage therapist I've ever had- but she's by far the best, and worth every penny. Even days when I'm not in pain, I can feel the difference after her massage. And she varies her technique and focus based on how I'm feeling as well as her own expertise. Every massage with her has made a noticeable difference in my body, for the better. She's also very personable and calm, doesn't try to chat at me during the massage, and has created a calming, welcoming environment with her studio (from the electric fireplace to the music, to the warming massage table, the cleanliness of the space, the plants and crystals, etc.) Her cupping machine is interesting, and her massage lotion is great for my dry, sensitive skin. She's a very positive, kind person (as well as being observant) and clearly is continuing to develop her considerable skill. I'm so grateful she's practicing in Roanoke, and will continue to get regular massage from her for as long as she's here.

I have not had a massage of this caliber in YEARS, and now all I can do is lament that I don't live closer (got this massage on a visit to Roanoke). I got the Swedish/Deep Tissue combo because I wanted something familiar and the barefoot thing sounded odd... I wasn't sure how it would work. Now I am 100% confident that I will see Melanie every time I go to Roanoke (partner's parents live there). Next time I am going to try the barefoot work. I truly never thought I would find another massage therapist of this caliber before, and all I want to do is go back, but I am already back in the Washington D.C. area. Thanks Melanie! I can't wait to book another session, whenever that might be!!

Bonnie is so friendly, professional, and caring -- I love every single one of our visits. My doctor recommended I get massages for my scoliosis and Bonnie has been a godsend in relieving my aches and pains related to my diagnosis. She's very professional and thorough in her intake; I felt like she targeted the areas very well. Her office is super cozy and well-decorated; I feel calm the moment I enter! The massage room is always comfortably lit and I can't lie when I say the Warm and Toasty Massage literally warms both my heart and soul. I love that she includes little wellness goodies (usually a bath bomb or a body scrub) at the end of some of her services. Overall, you will not regret coming to Massage or Knot. It's literally the best.
