I've been getting massages for 15+ years. He dug so deep that he hit places I didn't even know were in pain. It was delightfully and surprisingly uncomfortable in the best way possible. He asked if I was okay and if I needed less pressure, but I told him to keep doing his thing. I walked in with a body that felt 10 years older than it is and left with a body that felt like it was 20 years younger. He released so much tension I actually hugged him. I could have cried (not from the pain haha). Not only was the massage great, the prices were some of the best I've seen in a while. I don't live close, but I will return.

She was literally cleaning a different color paint off the brush before sticking it into the bottle I chose, which most definitely altered the color. Even after asking her to clean up the flooded paint on my cuticles it was still quite poorly done. Overall this was my one break after weeks with a newborn at home and it was quite saddening.

Absolutely Incredible Bodywork Experience! I had the most amazing session at Bodywise Massage Inc. -- truly one of the best bodywork experiences I've ever had. I came in with significant lower back pain and left feeling lighter, aligned, and genuinely restored. The therapist was incredibly skilled, intuitive, and knowledgeable about the body. They didn't just go through the motions -- they listened, targeted the exact areas I needed, and blended deep therapeutic work with relaxing techniques. The pressure was perfect, and they checked in throughout to make sure I was comfortable. I could tell every movement had purpose and expertise behind it. The space is clean, calming, and thoughtfully designed, making it easy to relax as soon as you arrive. From start to finish, the experience felt personalized, intentional, and healing. If you're looking for true bodywork -- not just a massage, but real relief and restoration -- Bodywise Massage Inc. is where you want to be. Already looking forward to my next session! read more

I recently had massages from Vicki and Bee. Vicki has a background in sports injuries and knew just what to do for my wrist and my ankle, both of which I broke, and afterward told me some exercises to do to add to my fexibility in both my knee and my ankle. Her massage left me feeling that my body was all of a piece and that as she worked to release one area, she was also working to release areas affecting it. Bee is mother earth. I told her exactly what type of massage I wanted, and she did just that. I wanted it deep enough to loosen the knots, but not so deep that the toxins were released. I wanted to be taken care of. I walked away knowing the knots were not as tight and that I would not go home feeling like I had the flu. I felt totally taken care of. Bodywise is a very special place with kind, professional and well trained masseuses who listen to you. Also, the people on the desk are very knowledgeable and helpful. read more

I went once and left before the massage was over. They don't have private rooms, just sheets that they hang up between beds. That was a little creepy for me, and you can hear the other massages going on right beside you. The person running the front desk was "just filling in" and seemed flustered. Although I called ahead and specifically related a sports/muscle problem I was having and asked if they had anyone who was skilled with that sort of thing. While they said "Oh sure," they simply slated me with whoever was open. He was so bad, I had to tell him just to stop and we ended an "hour massage" after about 20 minutes. They might be cheaper, but you certainly get what you pay for. read more

He asked if I was okay and if I needed less pressure, but I told him to keep doing his thing. I walked in with a body that felt 10 years older than it is and left with a body that felt like it was 20 years younger. He released so much tension I actually hugged him.

I'm looking forward to a hot stone massage and cupping next time.
