From a couple years ago : It was a great massage- it was like a deep tissue massage - it really got…read moreat my knots. There was a lady on her phone in the waiting area during my entire massage so that was frustrating. Also if you get a chair massage they are (or were) right next to the waiting area so I felt self conscious about that. I don't love that there aren't separate rooms, just partitions, but for the price and how good the massage is I will go back. (Update: the price went way up which is comparable to other massage places - so I might look for something else especially when the other places in town have better privacy) It was also frustrating when I called I couldn't make an appointment they said to just come in.

Oh my lord, I've been there twice and gotten a massage from 2 therapists. Both massages were…read morephenomenal! The first time, I'd done a marathon the day before and was super sore in my back. The massage made me feel so much better. They have very reasonable prices ($55 for 45 min), and they used hot stones and a warm towel both times, no extra charges. Most places I've looked at charge extra for that, so that was a very nice surprise. It's not exactly a spa environment, but it's a stellar massage. Highly recommend!

I did not see Cassandra for chiropractic work (although I sometimes get that done too); I saw her…read moreonly for deep tissue massage (90 minutes). First let me say that I've had over 100 massages with over 30 different practitioners over the past 20 years (in California mostly, but in various other states as well) and request deep tissue work every time. I've only had 3 masseuses in Ames so far, but Cassandra was clearly outstanding (I gave my two other masseuses here 2/5 stars). Not only was she experienced and skilled, she actively applied her knowledge to great effect during the massage - paying attention, investigating, and reacting. Cassandra used superior hand/finger techniques and I don't remember her ever using her elbows (which is a shortcut most masseuses resort to, but which is avoided by the "top 2%" of masseuses). If you are in Ames definitely look her up! I saw her in August of 2015; she was working at Family Chiropractic and Wellness at 2629 University Blvd, although she had just moved there recently.

Went back to Iowa for 5 days to see family. For the last 6 months, I have had chronic left…read moreneck/shoulder pain. In my hometown of San Diego, I had seen 3 chiropractors, 2 massage therapists, and an acupuncturist who also did Chinese cupping. My pain had never gone away for more than 10 days, so upon my plane landing in Des Moines, I made an appointment with the clinic my mother and father have been going to for the last 3 decades or more, Rebarcak. I had no preference for which doctor I saw and I was given to Dr. Brady Rebarcak for treatment. I explained the treatment I had received in San Diego, CA. I was impressed with the results: within 2 hours after treatment, I was 95% better. Three days later I went back for a follow-up visit before my departure to San Diego. Today, 5 days later I am pain-free. If my mom were alive today, I could hear her say, "I told you they could fix you up." The doctor did a combination of Chiropractic, Chinese cupping, and Gua Sha on my neck. In San Diego, I had experienced all of the techniques from my San Diego doctors, but not one doctor had isolated the problem with the use of all the techniques in one treatment. What can I say: I am truly amazed! Give this place a try and follow through with the treatment plan. Depending on the difficulty of your specific pain/complaint you have a very high probability of becoming pain-free with Rebarcak Chiro doctors.
