I have been recieving massages from Michael for 6 years and he works wonders. I don't know how he does it every time, but he finds the problems areas that I didn't know were an issue ( and of course works the areas I requested) and targets those areas with such skill. He uses hot towels, stretches, and his massage knowledge to work my muscles into dough! It's very hard for me to get off the table when the session is done. I recommend 90min session at LEAST 1× a month. I couldn't function without it! Recommend, recommend, and recommend!! The office and his massage room is cozy and lovely. Very welcoming and calming estictics! Also, with these cold days of winter, that table warmer just puts you in a caccon of warmth, makes you never wanna leave! read more

Michael is a highly skilled massage therapist who takes time to learn and understand your body and intuitively knows and works the deep connection not only between muscles and facia but also the deep connection between the body and its energy. A massage with Michael is nothing like you've ever experienced. His technique is completely customized to how your body responds and you will leave feeling better both physically and spiritually. Michael is extremely respectful and personable and has created a beautiful, warm and relaxing environment for you to unwind and experience the release that only an expert massage therapist can provide. Highly recommend you give yourself the gift of a massage at Amani Tiba. read more

I have been getting massages from Michael since he started in the West side chiropractic office years ago. He is professional, knowledgeable and a calming spirit. With his attention to my specific ailment, whether it be my shoulder, my low back or my hip- or just feeling stressed, Michael has tailored his treatments specific to my needs and has been a successful adjunct to my chiropractic and/or physical therapy treatments. In fact, going to him has significantly reduced my need for other treatments. I no longer seek chain store/spa massages because his quality technique has ranked beyond all of my other experiences. I can't wait to see amani TIBA grow! read more

After reading the previous reviews, I find there is nothing new I can add to Michael Tennant's private massage practice, Amani Tiba. I received a gift certificate for a one hour massage and had the opportunity to use it this week. Michael is a consummate professional exuding "love and respect". He is a kind man. Details of the massage have been outlined in other reviews--all of which I agree with. What hadn't been mentioned was his prices, which are affordable. If you are seeking a massage therapist, please consider Amani Tiba. I can promise you you will not regret it. Thanks, Michael. I will see you soon. read more

I have gotten many massages and I have to say Michael was one of the best I ever had. I already recommended him to my husband because I know he will feel the same way. Michael has a wonderful energy and you will feel it right when you meet him. The room is relaxing and has beautiful music playing. The massage was perfect amounts of pressure and he checks in to make sure all is well. He does some stretching and I loved that made it unique. I will be seeing him again and I recommend making an appointment with him and see for yourself. read more

Michael is wonderful! He owns this practice and works out of a chiropractic office while he is looking for one of his own. Since this was my first massage ever, he took the time to explain what massage was, what he would be doing, and getting to know me and my expectations and needs. I did the Swedish massage and he covered every part of my body as well as my problem areas. We had a nice conversation and he was very soothing and kind. I highly recommend Michael and will be recommending my own brother to him for a sports massage. Thank you Michael! read more

Sincerely, one of the best massages in my life! I tend to have pretty strong upper back-neck-head pains every couple months, and these pains are exhausting. Last time when I had such pain, I finally decided to go get massage and I found Michael on Yelp. He is so welcoming, personable and professional! I left feeling refreshed, with a clear head, in a great mood and my pain went away. He really made my day, and I still enjoy the positive effects of his massage (no back-head pain!!) a week later. Will definitely go back! read more

I just received my first massage from Michael at Amani Tiba. It was indeed the best massage I've ever had. You can tell that he was in tune throughout the session. He incorporates warming tools (warm towels/heating pads) which made my experience even greater! The extra attention to my feet were a plus as well. In addition, I like the fact that we had a conversation regarding several other options for self care. I look forward to spreading the word about my experience! It was so awesome ! read more

I had a massage with Amani (Michael) and it was one of the best massages I have ever had! He does a really good job in setting expectations for the session and touching base with you throughout the session to ensure you're getting the pressure that you want. The atmosphere of the office was conducive to relaxing. He used hot towels in combination with Swedish massage. He seemed really knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely be seeing him again to work on more specific areas. read more

BEST massage I have had in a long time and I have had regular massages for years! Michael is professional, knowledgeable (he combines chiropractic care with his therapeutic massage) and a miracle worker with his hands. I'm a pretty serious athlete who regularly beats up on my body with triathlon and road racing and Michael has brought it back to life and is keeping me injury free. After my first massage, I signed up for three more and now I'm going every 2-3 weeks. Life changing! read more

Michael was great. He went through step by step about the process. Educated me on the various styles of massages, gave some tips on health and success, and was awesome during the massage. I was comfortable, relaxed, and excited to go back again. I would recommend anyone looking for a first time experience to go with Michael so that you have a great first experience and feel more comfortable. The location was clean and convenient, the appointment prompt, and well worth the money. read more

Michael was professional, relaxing, personable and just provided the best massage I have ever had. The atmosphere is clean and the room is relaxing. He asked me about my problem areas and guided me every step of the way during the massage. The table was heated a little and he offers a heating pad to put on your back if you choose. I honestly feel so much better now and decided to make a trip to Michael once a month for self care. I highly recommend making an appointment :) read more

I have been getting massages for over 30 years. I have been to see over 20 different massage therapist and I would just like to say Michael is by far the best massage therapist I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Not only is he a miracle worker regarding the pain I live with everyday but he takes me on a healthy emotional journey as well. I look forward to my visits with him every week and would highly recommend him. Trust me you will never go anywhere else! Beth read more

Michael is truly gifted with healing hands! I always leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. He is kind, attentive, and will focus (or steer clear of) the areas you want. I've been coming to Michael for almost a year now regularly, and it's one of the best decisions I've made. His intuitive and laid back style really resonates with me. The location is great, the facility is on point, and the service is excellent! I would highly recommend Michael for your next massage. read more

I have been going to Michael for the last 2.5 years. I really appreciate his whole approach to massage and tweaking it depending on what's plaguing me or how I am feeling; sometimes after a night shift I think I want deep tissue but Michael can sense if I'm in need of a more mentally relaxing massage and not a ton of deep work that time. I always leave feeling so much relief and have seen a huge improvement in my back issues. read more

Michael is a skilled and knowledgeable massage therapist, who in addition to his experience and professionalism brings such great energy and caring to his work. This was my first massage since before Covid. I was so impressed by the attention to cleanliness and safety protocols. Beautiful atmosphere and music. During these times we all need a little extra TLC! I highly recommend Michael. Top rate all around! Thank you! read more

Michael is absolutely the best massage therapist! I've been seeing him fairly regularly for two years. I am always impressed that he knows exactly how much pressure to apply to both work out muscle tension and relax the muscle. The persistent aches I've felt for years, especially in the winter, are gone. Seeing him consistently is one of the best decisions I've made for my physical well-being. I highly recommend him! read more

I found out about Amani Tiba from the Chiropractor that I see and have been getting massages from Michael for nearly a year now. I look forward to coming here after a long day at work and really enjoy Michael's massage technique and conversation. The office and room are relaxing, tidy and comfortable. I like supporting local Tolland businesses and I am happy to have found such a wonderful masseur nearby. read more
