I've had MANY massages over the past 15 years for back and neck problems. Recently, I had really…read morebad pain in my arms, with tingling and stiffness into my back and neck. The pain and tingling lasted for months, and I tried everything to make it go away, including acupuncture and even seeing a neurologist (which included a painful nerve test and an MRI). Then I found Amy, totally by accident.. I had read good reviews about her massages and her office was near my house, so I decided to give her a try. Not only did Amy give me the best massage I've ever had, but all of the pain and tingling I had been dealing with FOR MONTHS went away after just one massage! As long as Amy is in Austin, I will be a loyal customer. I really can't recommend her highly enough!!

Tucked into a lush and quiet corner of a downtown desert side street, Kneading Bodies (located at…read moreCreekside Whole Health Center) is a wellspring of relaxation, rejuvenation, and joy.

Practitioner Amy Myers is trained in at least 6 types of massage and has been practicing for over a decade.

As someone who has chronic lower back problems (herniated L4 & L5, minimal disc space and a curve…read morein my spine), I consider myself to be a pretty good connessieur of massage therapists. I first went to Nina Powers in 2004 when my shoulder, as a result of my back being poorly aligned, tied itself into a knot and refused to come undone. Nina was the only person who could meet me at 8 PM, which was when I got done with work, and after an hour-long massage, I felt like a new person. I went to Nina just last week, six days before my sister's wedding in New Engalnd, because I lifted a heavy table and completely messed up my back. She was kind enough to see me the day I called, worked on me for nearly two hours, until almost 10 PM on a Friday night. I spent the rest of the weekend recovering, but I firmly believe that the only thing that helped me get on the road to recovery and kept me out of the pain doctor's office getting another steroid injection was because of Nina's work! I rode horses for many years and we constantly were evaluating them for lameness issues, trying to find the source of their leg or back pain. I feel that Nina looks at people with the same sort of eye -- you should watch them walk and turn, see how they sit or lie down, and then begin your work. If you are looking for a massage therapist who will truly help you feel and live better, not just relaxed, go to Nina.

Nina Powers is an incredible massage therapist! If you're looking for a knowledge, effective person…read moreto help you feel better, call her. She listened to everything I told her about & treated it accurately. Some of the techniques she used to fix me are at the forefront of the massage community. She was very respectful of my body, mind, and time; she would ask before trying anything new and once my appointment got close to the hour mark, she asked me if I wanted to keep going or if I'd had enough. I felt awesome when she'd finished working on me!! I cannot recommend her enough!! She's fantastic!! Nina deserves more than five stars! She's a miracle worker for the entire body!

My appointment was at 4 p.m. (about the time my phone dies) I went into the lobby (yes, if you are in a law firm, you are in the right place) expecting her to at least check the lobby. To her credit, her email did say she would text me to come up. Forgive me...my phone died...But really?! Just cancel and bail after 20 mins? At about 4:22 I went to the car...by then i had a charge and a few text about paying to reschedule. I called and text several times but no answer or response. I went up to her suite..nada! I asked the girl at the front if she'd seen her...not today!? Melyssa says she wasn't going to waste any more of her time?! I suggest you don't either! I know i won't.

It doesn't feel like a spa, but I also understand that it's not an expensive massage, so I was OK with that part. Xiu seems like a nice person, so I hesitated to write this at first. The more I thought about it, however, the healthcare professional in me worries that she's going to injure someone and am baffled at the 5 star reviews. She does not ask questions about your medical history. This coupled with her stretching joints past normal range of motion is unsafe (fingers into hyperextension). When I asked her to please use less pressure since her elbow was digging into my bone (sacrum) time and time again, she rolled her eyes. It got to the point where I wondered if she was familiar with human anatomy since everything was uncomfortable. At first I thought it might've been a language barrier, but over time it became evident that she will only do deep pressure because she thinks it is best. I cannot recommend her services, and if you don't require a MASSIVE amount of pressure (and I typically love deep tissue when the therapists are pressing on muscle!), I strongly encourage you to go somewhere else.
