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.

But it's rather easy to get to if you're coming from a little ways away. Like any Arlington spot, you can find street parking, a garage around the corner, or metro. The location is aromatic and clean. The receptionist is friendly and inviting. The massage therapist, Sunny, was amazing!! She asked how much pressure I wanted and checked if it was okay etc. I will definitely be going back.

Thank you, Tim ~~~ _____________________________________ Timothy, Veronica is not available for medical massages at this time but we do have other therapists available. Are you interested in booking soon? Thank you, A little bit of a non-answer, but if your heart is set on her based on these reviews, just know she can't be booked. The 5 stars was so I wouldn't screw up her score, not for Capitol Rehab.

Recovery and the ability to recover after a challenging workout is important and I'm always open to new forms of treatment that will aid in my performance and reduce my risk of injury. Veronica has been extremely helpful, since my arrival from Los Angeles. With a bright smile and friendly nature, she preforms her job with the best of her ability. Leaving me feeling fresh after a tough workout. I highly recommend her to anyone, who is serious about taking care of his or her body. Whether it's to recovery from a tough workout session or to reduce the stress from your every day job. Veronica is the best masseuse around the area. And as a professional athlete, I have been fortunate enough to experience different masseuses, and she definitely ranks up there with the best.

I actually took my best friend there for Christmas, and it was such a great time. It was so good that the following year I sent my mother-in-love for her birthday, and another year I surprised my wife with a visit for hers. They both had amazing things to say about their experiences. I'm definitely overdue for a return -- I can't wait to go back this year!

I haven't had a massage for a long time and decided to give this place a chance. I asked for a deep…read moretissue massage and paid for a deep tissue massage. The facility is lovely, wonderful ambiance. I went to a room that is for couples. I was disappointed that the massage was nothing like I've had before at other massage places. The man sat in a stool and applied a lot of oil, would slide his hands up and down my skin. Like a petting motion. The entire massage was like that. I didn't feel any different after the massage and found myself quite disappointed. I got an email from Origins reminding me to leave a review. I responded asking to speak to someone about my experience and after a week, no response. I proceeded to email the email address on the website and gave my feedback. No response after 3 weeks I didn't feel like that was a deep tissue massage. The gentleman was sitting on a chair for 90% of the massage. Maybe he had a long day already.

Also, place seemed pretty clean and sanitary. For context, I like a really deep tissue massage. The average person might find what I enjoy to be uncomfortable. Like a jackhammer in my back would be good lol. I had John as my massage therapist, and he was absolutely amazing! Didn't take any shortcuts and really got into the muscle tissue. Elbows and all of that! Felt awesome. I was so relaxed. I will definitely be coming back to him. I didn't completely undress, although I'm sure you could. I really only do that at high end spas. I was in shorts and a cami and It was comfortable. He asked about the pressure. I told him hard and he obliged. Kept consistent pressure the whole massage. Heads up: they do request a $20 tip ahead of the massage. While I recognize this is untraditional, I totally get It, given how COVID must have affected business. I hope people start cutting small businesses some slack! Anyway, if you are looking for an insanely deep tissue massage without the frills, definitely come here!

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!
