She always checks in to see how I'm feeling and what areas need attention, then tailors the massage to exactly what my body needs that day. You can tell she really listens and cares, which makes such a difference, especially during pregnancy. The office itself has a really nice, calming vibe and always smells so good when you walk in. It instantly feels relaxing. The staff is friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. I originally booked 60-minute sessions, but I just scheduled my next one for 90 minutes because I don't want it to end! I'm so happy I found this place. It's also a huge plus that you can use your HSA funds here. I definitely plan to keep coming and will continue even after pregnancy.

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. ‍

I had pretty much sworn off massage for years because of too many disappointing experiences and…read moreinconsistent service. Because of that, I don't say this lightly: Firm Hands has completely changed my mind. Every single experience I've had here--for myself, for friends, and for family--has been outstanding. The work is consistently skilled, intentional, and truly therapeutic. This isn't a "fluffy" massage that leaves you wondering what you paid for; it's thoughtful bodywork that actually helps. I've referred so many people to Firm Hands at this point that I honestly can't help myself--I recommend it to anyone who will listen. Whether you're looking for real therapeutic support or intentional self-care, this place delivers every time. Highly, highly recommend.

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.

I have bad Neuropathy in both feet from being a Type I Diabetic and it has been that way for at least 10 years or so!! Basically, I have no sense of feeling on my feet, but after you worked on them today, I can, for the first time in at least 10 years, actually feel what I am standing on, like the carpet!! They have been like this for 2 days now!! Also, the pain and stiffness in my fingers and hands has dramatically improved from what you did !!! A great improvement in my daily comfort!! I just wanted to provide some positive feed back to you about what you did for me today! So, again, thank you so much! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! I can't wait until my next session with you!!

I found Scott after I had a car accident and I needed more focused work on my shoulder and neck. Scott has been so instrumental in my recovery journey to help reduce pain and gain back some of my range of motion. He also uses electric therapy to help stimulate muscle groups as well as cupping and scraping. It is the most effective massage for my specific pain and rehabilitation. He also teaches some exercises at the end of the session to help with pain relief. At first, I was shocked a bit by the prices but there are packages that help to reduce the cost. I have already gotten gift certificates for my mom and my sister. Make sure to wear exercise clothes. It's not a typical massage where you get undressed but it's more of a physical therapy massage that requires a lot of movement and participation. Thank you Scott for your help and look forward to continuing our sessions!

But this year, I gave myself a gift: his wellness plan. Best decision I've made in a long time. It forces me to show up for myself. To stop ignoring what my body's been yelling at me about for years. Scott doesn't do cookie-cutter. He listens. He adjusts. He mixes ART, cupping, scraping and massage in a way that actually works for my body. I walk out of every session feeling like a functioning human again. If you've been living with pain and just powering through, don't. Go see him.

I was a bit nervous but I was determined to do it. The thought of someone walking on your back is intimidating. However, it didn't feel as weighty as I'd expected. I'm sure it helped that my tech was petite. This feels like a much more therapeutic experience than a traditional massage. By the time you're done, your muscles have been thoroughly stretched. It wasn't as relaxing as a traditional massage but I felt the benefits of it a lot more. It was also very intuitive. I highly recommend coming here. Everyone was so nice and made me feel really comfortable. I loved the Thai music they played. Also, the space is very clean. It's just a 15 minute walk down The Promenade from the Hyatt Regency here in Long Beach.
