I wish I had stayed home…read more I visited on a Saturday with two people. We booked ahead on the website -- $72 for 45 minute deep tissue massage, per person. We were running about 10 minutes late, but we called them and let them know. When we arrived, the front desk staff barely said anything to us and just whisked us back into the massage room. They barely welcomed us, they didn't ask about any focus areas or preferences, and it seems like they were not the strongest communicators. We got a very basic massage with a mix of back, legs, and arms. It was not at all a deep tissue massage. It was not relaxing. It was not worth it. I didn't feel anything at the end; like, I might as well not have gotten a massage at all. When we were done, they whisked us to the counter to pay. Again, not very friendly or communicative. There is a sign on the counter that says there is a $5 charge for paying with credit card, but thankfully they did not charge us that. The place is very barebones, like the service. They have about 6 massage rooms. We were the only ones there, and I got the impression there was only more than one staff person there because we booked in advance. FYI They have some coupons on Groupon.

Received a terrible sports massage today from Nova Therapeutic ~ Courthouse. I put in my intake…read moreform that I am an athlete & have a race coming up in four days. I asked for and booked a sports massage & firm pressure. I did not put down my specific areas in intake form b/c I feel as though ppl don't read them. I prefer telling the massage therapist what is going on. I did. The therapist came in, did not introduce herself. Nothing. I said; "my hips are tight, I believe it's my psoas and lower back and glutes". "Can you spend time on my right hip" She kept massaging my back. okay, I thought.. she will work her way to my leg. NOPE. I asked again. Can you please massage my legs, esp my lower back and hip. She rubbed my neck. I repeated my self... my legs. She rubbed my head. After the fourth time, I gave up. So pissed off. Massage therapist did not speak English so did not know what I was even saying. I found this language barrier issue out when I told the front desk and manager that I was upset b/c she did NOT give me a sports massage. Manager responded. Can you stay and we can work your legs now. I said; NO. I have to go and I don't have time to get undressed again. So annoyed. They gave me a gift cert. Why would I go back to a place that provided crappy service to begin with. Worst massage place I have ever been to. As an athlete that has been to a number of massage establishments ~ waste of time & money. Do not recommend if looking for good sports massage.

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and asked to identify any areas of discomfort, along with our preferred pressure level (soft, medium, or deep). I was then taken to my room. The rooms are separated by partitions, so while there is some noise from other sessions, it didn't take away too much from the experience. Highlights: * Friendly and efficient check-in process * Customizable massage pressure and focus areas * Skilled and attentive masseuses * Free parking behind the shopping center My masseuse, Miss Kitty, was excellent. I requested a deep tissue massage, and she did not disappoint. She worked through multiple knots in my upper back that had likely been there for months and also addressed some lower back pain I'd been experiencing. At times, the pressure was a bit intense, but when I asked her to ease up, she adjusted immediately. After the session, I was offered a small bottle of water at the front desk. The total came to $85 (credit card) for a 60-minute massage, plus tip. Overall, a great experience--I would definitely request Miss Kitty again!

I requested a 30-minute deep tissue massage, and it was absolutely divine. The space was spotless, and Tina worked through every pressure point with the perfect amount of pressure, checking in just enough to make sure I was comfortable. One thing I especially appreciated was that she didn't talk throughout the massage. That's one of my biggest pet peeves because it makes it hard to truly relax, and she struck the perfect balance of being attentive while also giving me the quiet and space to enjoy the experience. I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. I'll definitely be coming back and plan to become a regular! Thank you, Tina!

Located just next to Nordstrom, O'Chi offers a range of massage options from foot reflexology to full body massages. The space is an open concept so don't expect anything luxe or private, but if you have a knots to be worked out or have been on your feet all day then O'Chi will do the trick! I've mostly only come for a 30 min foot massage, but once I did give a full body a go. The massage bed is pretty standard, with basically just a towel over it. However, in terms of getting any knots out the massage therapists are very effective and typically skew towards quite a bit of pressure. For pricing, it's a bit more expensive than similar concepts in and around NoVA but I'm guessing the mark up is due to it being inside of the mall, so convenient for many shoppers. But would definitely drop by again if I had some extra time and happened to be nearby.
