OK, it has been nearly 2 years since my first review and I have had the opportunity to return…read moreseveral times, and under different pairs of hands. I'm sticking with my 5-star rating, because although i would like more amenities, Dragon Massage Spa does do the best with what is available. Here are 3 more technicians of note: Lili - Her delicate name belies her physical strength. I was having a particularly bad day with my neck and back issues, so i booked a 90-min. Lili worked and worked with her hands and elbows. Finally, she had me sit on the end of the table, reach back so we could clasp wrists, allowing her the leverage to stretch my back with her feet. No chiropractor has ever given me a release like that! And that was after expert manipulation of my fingers and toes. Vicki - on the subject of feet. I was needing a little adjustment mid-week. Seeing that Vicki was so tiny, I did not expect much pressure. Surprise! I never noticed the handrails on the ceiling before. It's been a couple of decades since I've been treadled by a professional. That got my back, shoulders and upper thighs loosened quickly and thoroughly. Then she had plenty of time to work on a kink I had on the front. With a bit of tinkering, she had it unlocked and the rest was smooth sailing. Finally, Yu-yu (please forgive me if I likely spelled it wrong) - Late morning and I was able to get in with only 10-min notice. Hadn't planned my day for a massage, but on the road early and thinking about it for hours had me filling with anticipation. My neck is always an issue and Yu-yu did very well relaxing those muscles. From there she was excellent at maneuvering from area to area. I really appreciated how her touch became light, partly as a signal that we would be moving on to the front. It only took a little more strength work and the built up stress of the day had been thoroughly expelled. Hot towels and fingertip pressure on my scalp and temples had me struggling not to doze off. Would that be rude or complimentary? It took me 3 years to find the right barber when we moved here. I don't know if I can commit to just one masseuse with so much talent on hand.

In my efforts to stay vertical and semi painless with the absence of my L4 and L5 disks, I have…read morebecome a Subject Matter Expert on back pain. I am also a Subject Matter Expert on grading the performance of a masseuse. I have had many good and many more horrible massages . In my travels (and strictly out of dumb luck) stumbled on to a masseuse at Dragon Spa named Lisa. I don't know how many work there but it doesn't matter, I have received the best massages of my life from her! That is not a statement made lightly. You don't have to tell her anything, she feels it. I get knots in my back around the shoulder blades, she works them tirelessly. I know the more pain she puts me in, the better my back feels for the next 2 weeks. 15 minutes into my very first 60 minute massage I stopped her and asked how much an additional 30 minutes was and changed in mid stream to a 90 minute appointment. Worth every penny and then some. When you walk in, the place has a smell... For those who visit other massage spas you may not recognize it but it's the smell of clean, very impressive! You are greeted by a little water fall and plants in the lobby, they take your temp and you have to wear a mask (the reality of the new world in which we live) and are escorted back to what I call the "Hoodini Room" because that is where all the magic happens. When she is done with me I feel like I'm 21 again and it's been a LONG time since I felt that way. If you want the best massage of your life, bar none, request Lisa. Tell them your favorite Realtor Jim sent you when you call for an appointment. They don't know me from Adam but if enough people say that she will start wondering *who in the hell is this guy Jim?"

I had my prenatal massage yesterday with Joanne. She is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to see…read moreher again for a regular massage! Brian greeted me when I came in and he, along with the atmosphere, were warm and inviting. Joanne was able to see me a few minutes early and we discussed any issues I was having and what I wanted to focus on during the massage. She was receptive, attentive, and such a sweetheart. She had plenty of pillows for me to use since I'm not able to be on my belly, and the pressure she used was just right for what I needed yesterday. The price for a 90-minute prenatal massage is $140, which I think is a steal given all 90 minutes of your time there is actually for the massage. Well worth it!

TL;DR: We were happy clients for over a year and liked the massage therapists. After raising an…read moreissue about incorrect superbills and a duplicate account problem, we were informed that the practice would no longer provide services to us. My husband and I had been regulars here for medical massages every two weeks since last year. We originally chose this practice because they provide superbills that we can submit to insurance. The massage therapists we've worked with (Alejandra, Maddy, Giovanna) have all been skilled. Alicia (their former admin) has also always been very responsive and is the only one who knows about superbills. This month, as usual, I requested superbills for our appointments and, after following up multiple times, received incorrect paperwork. When I called to ask about it, I was informed that their admin was moving out and that there also appeared to be a duplicate account issue. Which was why I didn't receive any notifs for upcoming appointments either. That was the concern I raised professionally via email. Shortly afterward, I received an email stating that the practice had determined they were "not the best fit" for my needs and would no longer provide services. to us. It was unfortunate because the massage therapists were actually skilled. But future clients who rely on superbills and insurance docs may want to confirm how those requests are handled now that their former admin has left.

Good place for a massage!…read more I came here after having some muscle soreness, and I called ahead and they were able to fit me in quickly. I got a deep tissue massage and it hurt so good! The masseuse was great - she made sure I was comfortable and periodically asked if I was okay or if I needed her to adjust the pressure. The prices are pretty on par with most massage places, so definitely worth a visit!

I called around and this place was open, answered right away and made an appointment same day. Prices are reasonable if not cheaper than other places. I scheduled 30 minutes that I extended to one hour while I was there. Christina was my massage therapist and I must say she did the best massage I ever gotten and I have been to a lot of places. It turned out that she studied massage therapy in China which is how she was able to tell me where I was hurting. Her massage was perfect. Even my headache went away and I felt so lose after that. I also did cupping which makes your back loosen up and rejuvenates. It is good for the immune system and many other things. She knew exactly where to place them and I was really impressed. I do not normally write reviews but I felt this place certainly is one of a kind as good massage places are hard to find. She also uses warm rocks and different techniques as part of therapy. If you want a great massage therapy, look no further.

I found Lori exactly when I needed to. She helps me shift through difficult experiences and…read morepatterns that limit my adult life. Talk therapy has always been hit or miss for me. What I love about Lori is her innate skill with and dedication to somatic experiencing. This approach helps me release from mental rumination, and focus instead on the felt-sense truths of my body. The body keeps the score, right? (Van der Kolk.) Over time, we have incorporated inner relationship focusing into our sessions. The reverberation of safely bringing awareness and compassion to lost inner parts is profound. Our inner work is equally effective virtually and in-person, though the latter includes the wonderful atmosphere of her cozy office space in Manassas. Lori is also highly skilled in myofascial release and massage therapy; a combination session of somatic experiencing and myofascial release has become one of my favorite whole body self-care treatments. I recommend Unwinding Touch without reservation.

She followed up several times to see how I was doing and see if I had any questions, and addressed my concerns promptly and fully.

This place is a hidden gem -- the best Thai massage I've had in the U.S. (and possibly even…read moreThailand!)! I write this review with mixed feelings -- knowing if more people go, it will be harder to book appointments. But it's THAT good, I can't keep it to myself. Apple, the owner / masseuse is amazing. She knows right what trouble spots to hone in on, and rest assured she will work out your knots and you'll walk out feeling transformed. I am a fan of Thai massage, which is a little different than traditional massage (which she also offers). With Thai massage, she works your knots out but also engages your body in gentle stretching. It's important to note there are no walk-in appointments, but booking online is easy and fast (and there are no interruptions while you're having your massage, which I appreciate!). As others have mentioned, there is no obvious signage outside -- it is located in a joint office building at 9116 Center St. Once you enter, take the steps to your left. Since all appointments are pre-booked, Apple will be waiting for you and will start your appointment promptly after you fill out the first-time visit paperwork. The massage room is clean and relaxing, and you'll walk out at least an inch taller once all your muscles have been relaxed by Apple's magic! It's also worth mentioning that this is a Licensed Massage Therapist certified by the Virginia State Board of Nursing, Department of Health Professions.
