I was unable to run more than 1 mile without my calf locking up. One session with her fixed that. Some more sessions completely relieved all problems I was having in both calves/lower legs during my marathon training. She will find spots that I wanted to tell her about - that I felt in training but forgot about entirely - without me mentioning anything. The specialists live up to the business name. Just so you know. But it's 100% worth it.

I found my people! I found my people!…read more Super excited that I finally made it here because this has been a long time coming. It felt so good to have my concerns addressed and assessed without feeling rushed, unheard, or unseen. The team at Firm Hands Sports Massage took the time to listen, explain, and really focus on what my body has been trying to tell me for a while now. If you've been dealing with chronic problem areas and keep putting yourself on the back burner, consider this your sign. I'm already looking forward to coming back and starting treatment on these stubborn trouble spots. My body has some catching up to do, and for the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm in the right hands. ‍

Updating my review because Jamie, the owner, reached out after reading my feedback and invited me…read moreback to give The NOW another try. Wow. My second experience was night and day. Jamie recommended Louis for deep tissue work, and he was exactly what I was looking for. He was professional, thorough, and clearly very experienced. He checked in throughout the session, listened to my concerns, and knew exactly where to focus. For the first time in a long time, I walked out feeling like a completely different person. The tightness and pain I had been dealing with were significantly improved, and I finally felt like I received the deep tissue treatment I had originally been looking for. I also want to thank Jamie for being such an attentive owner. She took my feedback seriously, followed up personally, and genuinely wanted to make things right. That level of customer service is rare and says a lot about how she runs her business. I've already booked my next 80-minute massage with Louis in two weeks and am happy to remain a member. In fact, after this experience, I'd even recommend The NOW to my husband. Sometimes the true measure of a business is how they respond when a customer isn't completely satisfied. Jamie and her team exceeded my expectations, and I'm grateful she encouraged me to give them another chance.

I popped my massage cherry…read more I ended up coming here on my birthday for a birthday massage. I was massaged by Jo who was extremely kind and thoughtful. I was able to try their 55 minute Swedish massage. The ambiance inside is dark, calming, and they have ocean waves as audio going. It is amazing. The set up is cute and aesthetic, they have a basket or hanger for your clothing and a bowl for your jewelry. The massage bed is heated so it is nice and warm in there. You won't get cold. They also have a sheet and a sheep skin looking top blanket that adds a small amount of weight that is enjoyable. Prior to walking in there's a small area where you can talk to your massage therapist and let them know about any preferences, ad ons or problematic areas. The only thing I did not like was that the lotion used leaves such an uncomfortable feeling on the skin. I don't know what exactly they use but I could just *feel* the layer of lotion sitting in top of my skin. I was itching to take a shower. It was not my cup of tea. Jo was amazing! I had so much joy and relaxation out of my massage. I had plenty of knots that she found in my upper shoulders but I did not choose to get the deep massage because I definitely would be crying and biting on the bed. My knots are crraaazyyyy so slowly but surely I'll be able to handle them coming out. I know home girl was like "this girl has some terrible shoulders" but everything is a-ok. She applied the appropriate amount of pressure and is receptive to feedback. The service overall was extremely friendly. They have complimentary water with citrus or regular water. Parking is in the garage or on the street. They do have a restroom.

She responded to my inquiry right away and was able to get me in. My massage was incredible. She is such a professional.

I explained what I was having issues with and she knew just how to tackle them. I love the cupping option she incorporates into the massage. I only wish I had found her sooner!

Just what the doctor ordered (not a legit doctor) lol…read more Since I moved to Long Beach about 4 years ago, the first thing I looked for was a massage spot. I was driving down 7th street and decided to check this place out. Everytime I walk in I am always immediately greeted by the gentleman working the front desk right by the entrance. I usually asked for an hour massage but they have a few options. I usually decided on the 30/30, which gives you 30min body and 30min foot massage. I always pay up front which I am totally cool with and then I get guided to a private room to undress and get into a bed. Shortly after they come in and ask if you want the massage medium or hard...I of course ask for hard because that's how like my massages. I will say they are very good with giving you what you pay for if that includes time, products, and service all around. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming, from the front desk with offering you the service and payment ls to the actual massage. I have been coming here religiously for years and anytime I have friends or family in town I make sure we stop by for a nice relaxing time. They also offer gift cards for beautiful gifts and don't worry about parking, tons of parking in an open lot. Hope you enjoy your visit as much as I always do. SYoY :)

Lol But omggg I had a massage last night and my upper back, lower back and actually allll the back has been hurting so bad since having my most recent baby and the epidural. Sijay worked her magic and I am hurting in the best way today. Lol you know that good sore you get when you have the best leg day in the gym? That's the comparison. She literally worked out all the knots, and while I'm a little sore today...I feel so much better and my back feels so loose. Don't go to those sleepy "foo foo" massages from big chain spas...do yourself a favor and book with Sijay if you actually want to feel a difference! Thank you Sijay!!!
