    I have been going to this spa for years now, and have always left feeling much better compared to…read morewhen I arrive. They have added heated neck wraps for you when you arrive which even in this summer heat is amazing! Emily is my constant go to, she listens and focuses on the areas that I want her to target, and her technique is stellar. I have had multiple major spine surgeries, I have 3 artificial joints, and lots of hardware implanted throughout my body so when I need a massage, I really need a massage. If you want a spa with a professional atmosphere and highly skilled therapists you cannot beat That's the Rub!

    Some massage therapists are very knowledgeable and treat you based on what you want, while others…read moredo what they think is best without really listening to you. They also vary in timing, you can pay for 90 mins and some therapists will get done in 80, others 85, but never the full reserved time in my experience. Im not very outspoken so it sucks when you're paying $120 (not including the tip....) and leaving the place not completely happy/feeling relaxed. There are other spots in town that offer more consistent services (and for much more reasonable prices compared to here). One pro is that this establishment is more professional seeming (announce they're washing hands before/after, give you water and go over some at home exercises to do in between sessions), so not all terrible, just not worth it (imo) for the price. I've tried 4 different therapists here (in my 5 years living in Bloomington) and Tanya G seems to be their best (I never tried Amber but heard good things abut her). Lastly, this one is probably a minor "complaint" and totally not related to the therapists but in one of my last times I was there, as I was waiting to check out/pay, I overheard the front desk receptionist tell the lady in front of me "people typically tip 20%, thats what is usually acceptable" after the lady had said "ooh and tip too" and it made me feel inclined to tip over $20 on a not so great service to begin with (I used to tip $10 there). I don't love this recent culture of pressurizing customers to tip (especially when you're charging premium prices).

    Kadisha and Gary are excellent providers who have the highest of professional standards, both for…read moretheir care and their clients. Their clinic is clean and quiet. I have a chronic pain condition, and have gotten more support from the Shaffers than any other clinic or provider in three counties over a decade. I know some others have complained about their door being locked or not getting fast answers. As a small family-owned business, I understand that they prioritize the safety and comfort of the client they are with in the moment. I feel safe knowing the doors are locked while I'm in session, and my time is never interrupted by a ringing phone or people wandering the hallway. I appreciate how they prioritize my experience and healing. I think it's important to remember that it's just the two of them running the clinic, and they are so skilled that sometimes there will be a wait... but they're worth it! I've been seeing them for years now.

    Gary is an excellent massage therapist. He helped me so much. However, as a business, Brio ranks…read morequite poorly. After providing excellent care for over eight months, my next appointment was canceled via email by Brio due to "scheduling conflicts" and said I'd be contacted for reschedule. I was never contacted. I reached out multiple times to no avail. Then when approached again a form email was sent with no truthful explanation or information. Honesty goes a long way with me. I will no longer be able to recommend Brio due to defamation of character via email, substandard communication, and general poor business acumen.

Shoutout to Caitlin for being accommodating and helping me feel relaxed! She's the best! As for some of the questionable reviews about the cleanliness of the facility, I think it's just an older building for one. I also think they are more eco-friendly and reuse (after washing, of course) towels, pillows, etc., so they may look a bit more "dingy" than a high scale spa. I have never been concerned with cleanliness at Spaah.

    First, I've been to a lot of massage and physical therapy in my life, so I'm speaking from the…read morestandard of those collective experiences. Ignored my request to not touch my feet as I need surgery on them for stretched ligaments. The masseuse grabbed me by my ankles and feet to manipulate my whole leg. My nerves in my feet have been buzzing ever since, so thanks for that. Not like I need them to walk or anything. It felt like she was trying to manipulate my bones instead of just rubbing my muscles like I wanted. (more like amateur physical therapy). She didn't seem to notice things like flinching and "Ow!" I'll never go back. The people were very friendly (which is why I'm not "naming names"), but I'm not letting them touch me again. And I'll warn all the people I know about it. Ignoring medical requests is DANGEROUS. EDIT: I would've rated 3, but after reading the owner's responses, I'm even more disappointed.
