Very professional service and excellent massage technique. I felt much better afterward, and all the muscle tension was gone.

Angelle was phenomenal. Great at attending to my tension. Extremely knowledgeable about the body. I highly recommend her!

Angelle was my massage therapist.She is the best massage therapist. Besides being an incredible practitioner, she is also very welcoming and kind and always takes the time to listen to you. You will feel like a new person after seeing Angelle - read more

I can't say enough great things about Angelle! She is wonderful! I've been going to Angelle for several months now, and I'm thrilled that I found her. She knows the anatomy incredibly well (and she's the sweetest person.) In fact in my 53 years I have never had a massage therapist, chiropractor or dentist work on my TMJ / jaw clenching. Angelle? She knows exactly what/where the jaw clenching muscles are and how to bring tremendous relief to you. Everything feels better. My jaw, my neck, my back, legs...fabulous. read more

Lauren is absolutely fantastic! I was skeptical about the ashiatu, but I actually prefer it to hand massages. I've gotten rid of a lot of tension since I started going here. read more

I had back pain for years, but literally one massage a month with Angelle, and I feel completely neutral now. I don't carry pain anymore, just keep coming in for maintenance because I don't want to go backwards! And Angelle is great - really responsive to how you're feeling, and will work with you to get you feeling better. Can't recommend enough! read more

I had so many high hopes for this business because of all the great reviews. My therapist Rikki had the potential to be great but she kept pretty much arguing with me during my massage telling me what I need for my body. I've had this body for 43 years and I know my body pretty well and I've been to hundreds of therapists so I know what works for my body but instead of listening to me she decided to do what she wanted to do which was keep rubbing my skin and it caused it to itch profusely. I just stop talking because she was not listening to what I was saying and she kept over talking me. So it was not a good experience but like I said, I feel like it could've been if she just stopped disagreeing with me and just give me what I paid for. read more

What an extraordinary experience. Jzärvonni knew exactly how to get the stress and trapped trauma out of my body. Cannot recommend her and this business highly enough. My joints and muscles that were stiff are now moving freely. This is an amazing massage therapy technique. read more

Lauren did a great job, my body feel a lot better I will be going back next week,please book her asap she is very experienced In what she do,I no longer have to look for any other massage places thx.... read more

I went back again and received another relaxing and effective massage.Its so very Reaxing and not rushed here. Not sure what "claire " is talking about in her review about not being able to find the place? It couldnt be easier to find especially in Midtown where parking is a premium.... the parking is free and its so conveinient to have a nice massage next to Zocalo mexican, and across from my nail salon and Caribu coffee. Im a loyal Fan for sure! Thank you Muscle Melters read more

I've been experiencing shoulder tension recently and have always had lower back pain due to tight muscles. I found Muscle Melter on Yelp and boy am I glad I did. I found the building and rang the bell to be let in. I also called the number on the website just to confirm I arrived at the right place. The previous review claiming they could not find the building sounds fishy -- the building number is clearly marked, faces the street and also #GoogleMaps. But anyway -- I booked with Yalonda and she is A MIRACLE WORKER!!!!! She took the time to talk to me and ask about my needs/preferences. I felt so comfortable the second I walked in, she's got great energy. I've never had this type of massage before and I'm NEVER going back to a traditional hands massage. She applied the perfect amount of pressure and my entire body felt so relaxed. She took all of my concerns into consideration and really worked the areas that needed it the most. I'm definitely coming here again and my back is SO thankful for the experience. read more

Truly, unprofessional. I don't understand how they have so many 5 star reviews. I requested an appointment and upon my arrival the building was no where to be found. I'm really happy I didn't pre pay. I tired to call for directions and no answer. About twenty minutes after my scheduled appointment time I received the rudest text from the massage therapist about me missing my appointment! Truly one of the most unprofessional experiences I've had read more

Atlanta Muscle Melter - Massage Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I had an amazing massage with Lauren. I've had a lot of massages from a lot of different people. Lauren is in another class of her own. Truly the best I've ever had. A lot of my chronic pain was gone for days after my massage with Lauren. read more

I have been to massage school myself and realize how beneficial a great massage therapist can be. Monica is one of the best massage therapists I have ever come across. One of my favorite things about Monica as a therapist is the time she takes to get to know her clients as individuals. The first time I booked with her we probably talked for 30-45 minutes prior to the massage. Not just questions about what kind of massage I wanted, but she just showed a genuine interest in me and my life and was honest, open, and willing to truly share and talk about her own life. Being independent, she works for herself and has nobody to report directly to so she can take the time to get to know and help her clients on a much deeper level. That kind of service is rare in any business, but leads to life long happy customers. When it comes to the massage, Monica is really top notch. She has lots of knowledge and a variety of tricks to pull out of her bag. It's not always relaxing, but it's always effective and working out issues or problems for your long term benefit. Some massage therapists will go straight to the intense work, but Monica is very smart and will progress slowly to deeper and more intense massage strokes so your body isn't overwhelmed by pressure. She really knows what she is doing in regards to that. I don't even live in atlanta. I live about 3 hours away and go there for weekend trips. I try to build in a visit with her every trip if I can. I can't always make it work, but my body thanks me whenever I can make it work. Simply put, she's one of the best. And truly a great person who cares about her customers. I would honestly call her a friend now that I've seen her several times. Go see her read more

I've been getting massage therapy with Lauren for almost half a year now and this review is long overdue! When I first went to Atlanta Muscle Melter I had only ever gotten massages as a temporary relief from tight/sore muscles that lasted for the duration of the massage. Since getting various modalities from Lauren I actually feel progress and get the "treatment" aspect of the practice. I really appreciate that Lauren spends the first few minutes chatting about how the last treatment felt and what I feel like needs attention now. She comes up with a plan before starting the massage. And while this pre-massage chat can go up to 15 mins (we nerd out about muscle attachments sometimes and she easily out nerds me) the actual massage lasts the 60/90 mins that you're paying for. In most other places I find that the first 15 mins of massage time are basically just setting the "vibe" cutting into actual massage. Not an issue here. I also like that there's no silver bullet approach. I had never tried Ashiatsu but wanted to try it out. While Lauren's chief specialty is in Ashiatsu she also uses traditional deep tissue, calf rolling, cupping and even gives me advice on great stretches for maintenance for later. On to the Ashiatsu - there are plenty of resources including their website so I won't get into that - but the technique has definitely improved my posture and straightened out knots that deep tissue massage didn't touch. Lauren is very careful with pressure and takes great care to make sure you're breathing right and there is no untoward discomfort. I have felt muscles in my back/legs feel activated and humming with energy for days to weeks after the massage. I truly haven't experienced that anywhere else. It's an amazing feeling, makes you feel lighter all the time. I've since recommended the place to my wife and everyone who'll listen. Definitely worth going for at least 1 consultation and massage, it certainly made a large improvement in my life. read more

Incredible! I'd say this is hands down the best massage I've ever had! Yalonda is like a muscle reader. She gets right in there to what feels like the core of my muscle pain. It's mind blowing! And it's such a unique massage method. I won't be going anywhere else for my massages! Thank you! read more

I just had the best massage of my life. So much pain & tension was released in 90 minutes. I even cried, not from pain, but from built up tension. I knew I needed body work, I knew I had been hard on myself the past few months, but once that tension & pain subsided, I realized how much pain I had been ignoring. So many things went wrong today. This was the greatest ending to a not so great day. I'm glad it worked out to have found such talented & caring massage professionals. I highly recommend these ladies. read more

I've been having recurring headaches due to stress/posture/working in front of a computer for too many hours a day. Having experienced these years before, I knew I needed to have some knots in my neck area worked out. I also knew that a "traditional" massage wasn't what I needed. Yalonda is a real pro. She worked out the knots and generally made me feel great. This isn't a spa where you have relaxing, gentle touch. Go here if you want to be worked on. I'll definitely be going back. read more

Ohhhhhh yeaahhhhhhh. I was floating on cloud nine coming out of a session with Monica. After a crazy busy semester of grad school where I didn't take care of my body, I needed some one to melt these rock hard shoulders of mine. My sweet boyfriend booked a session for me with Monica as a Christmas gift saying, "Only the best for my baby." Monica lived up to my very high expectations. And I'm pretty picky about my massages too. I loved that she asks for what areas you need work on, and will deliver whatever combination of massage techniques to best treat those areas. Instead of pigeonholing clients into choosing either a Swedish massage or deep tissue massage, she does a mix of 10 different types that will actually help. Originally I was concerned about having her step on my back, but she can control how much weight to use and I found that my body could actually tolerate her whole body weight. Plus, she's not standing for that long of a period. Most of the time she was doing magic with her feet (suprisingly soft and warm) while sitting in a chair. It's no wonder that she also draws A list clients with those amazing massages! Quite a few movie stars filming in Atlanta have been blessed by her skills. That's how you know she is the best. read more

I had a lot of tension in my shoulders so I decided to look for a massage in the Midtown area. I chose Atlanta Muscle Melter based on their amazing reviews online & was not disappointed whatsoever. The 60-minute Ashiatsu Massage was amazing! read more

After much too long (travel, back surgery from sports related injuries, work, etc.) I finally made it back to see Monica. I've added an additional star because in addition to offering a great massage, I really appreciated the following: 1) Talk time before and after that didn't eat into massage time. She used this time to re-learn about me, my needs, my goals, etc. Good bedside manner. 2) Flexibility: I mentioned to her how awesome it would be if she could accept credit cards and by the time I showed up, she had enabled her PayPal account so I could do just that. That's cool AND it also enables me to pay by virtue of my HSA card so they're tax free dollars! Have referred my wife and daughter to her as well. read more

Monica is the Man! (You know what I mean) I am your standard out of shape mid 40s guy that lifts too much and stretches too little and walks around with a constant collection of pulls and strains. Monica was true to her name and was able to melt the knots and kinks away. It was exactly what I needed. She possesses the foundational masseuse attribute of being a good listener and her unique technique is very effective. And, by the way, she is very reasonably priced. read more

I've been going to Lauren @ Atlanta Musle Melter for a few months now & honestly I feel better than I've felt in years! I'm a mechanic and part of that is pulling & straining muscles on a regular basis. I've tried many types of massage, but it's been difficult to find an effective massage therapist for the kind of deep knots I get. Almost always the therapist will complain to me about how I'm not taking care of my back (which is not true. I stretch every day) and at the end of the session I feel like we've barely made a dent in my problems. Lauren's technique using the hanging bars & her feet allows her put significantly more pressure into my jacked up back. Lol If you feel like you need a lot of pressure to work out your knots she's perfect. The whole experience is also very calming at the same time & the location is great! It's right by Piedmont park so if you get there early or just want to kill time then you're at the best place in the city to do so. Every time I go to Lauren I leave there feeling like she's actually fixed me. I can appreciate other types of massage too, but if you are looking for an effective therapist for real problems & a great experience then she's the best read more

I work out at the gym 3-4 times a week, and I have been visiting Monica at least once-a-week for about a month now. She has truly worked wonders on my neck, shoulders and hamstrings. When it comes to fixing your muscular problems, she is no-nonsense. My wife says my posture is better, my mood has improved, and I appear to be several inches taller. I have recommended Monica to family and friends. Go there now! read more

I do a couple of things that can lead to sore muscles; Crossfit, which involves lifting lots of weights, running, jumping on boxes, squats, etc., and sitting in an office staring at a computer while performing a somewhat stressful job. The combination has led me to encounter sore muscles , bad posture, and get generally out of whack physically. I have had a lot of spa massages before that felt good, but Monica actually treats my pain, addresses the underlying issues, and listened to my concerns, so I left with a great post massage feeling but also felt much better with some knowledge about how to address some of the underlying causes. Very personalized service with a very wide range of techniques that combined for the best massage ever. I will be back monthly. read more

Monica comes highly recommended and for good reason. She knows what she's talking about and does fantastic work. I've tried a fair share of corporate spas all over Atlanta looking for a decent massage but now I've stopped looking. Very reasonable priced and again...great massage :) read more

Outstanding 90 minute deep tissue massage with Yalonda today! She really took the time up-front to discuss my pain points and what I was looking for, and then clearly communicated the plan. Then she did exactly what she said she was going to do, and with extremely effective execution. And she did not deduct any of the time we talked up-front from the massage time. She truly is a hip specialist, and she spent more time targeting my hips than my prior 10 massages with other therapists combined. Her technique provides very deep and consistent pressure, and she really worked out the significant tightness in my hips, back, glutes, and piriformis. I walked in feeling like a train wreck and left feeling loose and relaxed. She is very friendly and I can tell that she truly enjoys her work and helping people feel better. Highly recommended, and two enthusiastic thumbs up! read more

Exactly what I needed to de stress from my work during my lunch break. They were able to accommodate me quickly. The therapist used the right amount of pressure and I could let her know when I needed more or less pressure. I felt comfortable and so much better from my shoulder pain when I left. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I had a great experience there! I do sports and this place was perfect for me. I felt freedom after my massage I tried Ashiatsu massage Thanks alot read more

Monica is amazing! I'm a wedding photographer and after wedding season was over I eagerly scheduled an appointment with her. My body was all out of whack from shooting and endless hours sitting in front of the computer editing. At the beginning of the appointment Monica asked if I was having trouble anywhere specific, and I mentioned that I carry a lot of my stress in my neck and shoulders. By the end of my time with her, I felt like a different person. Driving home I was amazed at the range of motion I had in my neck, it was a remarkable change from before my visit. Monica does wonderful work and is a great person to be around. Her work space is serene and peaceful. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place is amazing! I've worked with several different therapists here and they have all been great. The massages are truly therapeutic. I work from home at a computer 40+ hours a week which isn't great for my back. The massages here have really helped me. read more

Had another great experience with Monica after a crazy long week at the office. Her new place is awesome. Highly Recommended! read more

Monica has proven to be one of the most amazing massage therapists we have experienced. She is skilled and professional at all times. We travel constantly which is quite rough on the body. Making sure to have an appointment with Monica whenever we're in Atlanta makes all the difference in how we feel. We highly recommend Monica to anyone serious about massage therapy for physical health. read more

Monica is incredible at what she does. She was able to accommodate me quickly. It's clear from her massage that she is a genuine healer. Just what I needed to lessen the upper back and neck pain I have had for long time. She was talking me through what she was doing the entire time, making me feel very comfortable! Five stars!!! read more

Monica is the best! I've been going to her for last 2 years and she is hands and feet down the best! Great to talk with, relaxing space and warm and calming demeanor. Not to mention her rates are very reasonable. I will continue to have Monica be my therapist! read more

I went here last month, and my experience was exceptional. Yolanda was my masseuse and she was thorough, and my muscles literally melted. She mostly used Ashiastu massage (a deep tissue where they walk on you and it does not hurt), and it was exactly what my body had been craving. I typically get massages about once a month, but I'm realizing that I may have to frequent more often for my own physical and mental health. I have an upcoming appointment and I'm so ready! read more

Both Monica and Yolanda are incredible. Truly. The best. I had seen Monica a few times a while back and she really helped my back issues. This week, when I contacted her for help with terrible spasms, she promptly responded that she wasn't available but that her business partner, Yolanda, could see me that afternoon. Yolanda worked miracles and I am back in working condition! Thank you, Atlanta Muscle Melters! You are on my speed dial! read more

I find it rare for me to rate a business so high, however if the shoe fits. I as a straight man find myself in the predicament of not feeling comfortable with a man massaging me. What if I get too relaxed, what if it feels good, what if it moves (Seinfeld reference) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P-5Lr0TUnSM with that said, I find it difficult to locate a woman who can massage with the right amount of pressure. The ever so frequent catch 22. Comfort or pressure? So, a few months ago, grappling with the pain of sore muscles, and dissatisfied with the local massage envy went in the search for the perfect massage. The places with multiple therapists had me feeling passed around like a toy in daycare, so I decided to grab my handy dandy iPhone, whipped out my Yelp app, and began to comb the Internet for massages. After passing over a few spas (which clearly appeared to be Whore houses) I selected a few I thought would be a good fit. I then started reading. All of the spas had good reviews the only problem for me is that there were numerous therapists. How is a man to choose. I feel like a friend could write a review claiming blah blah blah was a good therapist. I decided to reach out to these places and after being unsettled with the answers I decided to call the midtown muscle melter. I felt like the name was hokey, however this was the only place with a good number of positive reviews and only one therapist. This to me was promising. After reaching out and texting Monica, she finally got back to me. Though unconventional she began to explain how her process of massage works. Ashiatsu is a massage the uses feet, knees, elbows to apply strong pressure and motion to key areas to unlock sore muscles. A little weirded out and curious I decided to give it a try. I have seen Lucy Liu use a similar massage technique on Tim Curry in Charlie's Angels before seducing him to sleep. He did seem to enjoy it prior to the knock out. After giving it a try I was hooked like a crack head needing a fix. It was the BEST massage I have ever had! The perfect amount of pressure and tension. It was like she was connected to my stress and knew how to release it. I have gone back several times in the past few months. I feel like I have found the solution to my problem. I believe she has a full schedule but always works to accommodate new clients. My advise to anyone wanting to get in to see Monica is to be patient and flexible. She is in high demand! It felt like I got the last minute cancelation appointments until I developed enough rappore to get the prime time coveted spots, but if you are open minded, patient, and a little lucky and a good tipper you will be well rewarded. #amazing #blessed read more

A great great massage and i have got a ton of them! Yalonda was friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. I wish Monica and Yalonda the best! read more

I had a couple of massages from Monica. She uses her feet. It is a little creepy to think of someone's feet all over your body. However, it does give you an intense massage, which is what I was looking for. The main issue was that scheduling was difficult to impossible. She responded to two requests for appointments saying she was not available and she provided no alternate days when she was available. I got no response to the third request. read more
