Competent therapists, friendly and helpful front desk staff, but I won't be returning. I've been…read morehere twice, and both times had weird interactions from two different therapists. One seemed annoyed that I didn't practice yoga because "yoga is life" according to him. The other therapist lectured me about my tight muscles in my back, but didn't make any suggestions on how to try to rectify the problem. I'm receptive to feedback, but not to being lectured or spoken down to by people who I'm paying for a service.

I've had a ton of massages in Gainesville, and I must say Mark is the best there is. I have chronic…read moreshoulder pain so I always look for a therapist who specializes in deep tissue and sports injuries. After trying about five other therapists from around town who couldn't quite seem to go deep enough, I finally lucked up on Bowers. I told them my problem and Linda immediately suggested Mark. That was over a year ago and I haven't been more pleased. Mark is professional, courteous, and has been in the game for nearly 20 years, so his knowledge is vast. I always get immediate relief after visiting. Love it!

I found this place while I was in great pain at 3am right after I came from my lab work. I just…read morecould not bear the pain anymore. I was a bit hesitant to go for my first session since it was my first time getting a massage. My first impression on the place was calm and relaxing. They had the place decorated with these cute live plants and decors all over. I immediately felt so comfortable and welcomed by the place. But oh my heavenly god, Kimberly (massage therapist) was just out of the world. She ain't playing around with those "Magic Hands". Right before the session began, we had a brief consultation where she asked me where my problems areas were and what my daily activities were etc. She paid great attention to the problem areas and checked in throughout the session if the pressure wasn't too much. I don't know exactly how to describe how I felt during the session but I will try my best. She has this white noise playing in the background. She sinks into my sore spots and unknot the pain that I had for months. You feel like a heavy burden of pain had been lifted and you feel lighter. The stress and tension in my muscles were relieved and I left feeling calm, strengthened, and healed right after my first session. I know it sounds a bit exaggerated but I am not kidding around. I went there not being able to turn my neck to the left side and after the session I had no pain and was able to move. Since then I go there once a week and saw a great improvement with each visit. I am so glad a found this cute little gem in this swamp!! I am a bit sad since I left Gainesville because I graduated and wont be going in for this amazink experience again. However, if I get a chance again, I will certainly pay a visit here!! I highly recommend students get a weekly massage as it really helps with the stress and tension you have in the muscles!! P.S - Thank you Kimberly for relieving my pain during those stressful days. I am so grateful because I was sooo much in pain when I came in for the visit. You are amazink and thank you once again!! And of course thank you to Julie too!!

As an athlete, I am always asking for harder pressure and to work on problem areas, but most places do not deliver. At Angel Massage, James is very strong!

The staff is super kind, and you feel very comfortable when you step through the door. I've tried some of the fancier spas in/outside of Gainesville, but none can massage as well as James at Angel!

This is not a light relaxation massage, this really gets into the knots and loosens up tight muscles as the therapist uses her body weight to really get deep into the tissues. I always tell therapists that I like deep pressure, but I rarely get as deep a pressure as I hope for. I was very pleasantly surprised and grateful that I had to actually ask her for a little bit less pressure a few times (that is saying a lot for me), which she was very conscientious about and asked about frequently throughout the massage. The facility was also very nice and clean, and the sheets and betting all felt very nice and clean as well. Overall, a great experience.

I got into a car accident on a few days ago, which increased my chronic pain, to constant pain. In…read morenew and old areas, and I honestly just needed some relief. The original place I wanted to go (which I have an appt for in an hour today) was closed. I checked the reviews and found this place. I knew it was new, but always love giving new places a try, and of course to review until my heart's content so you don't experience what I did. First, Amy (I believe the owner) was the only one there. Upon walking up I rang the doorbell, she kindly greater me at the door and immediately took my temperature and gave me hand sanitizer. I undressed, laid on the table, told her about my accident and the pain areas, and she got to work. When I say work, I mean it. She was walking on my back, using vigorous and painful movements across my neck and shoulders. I kept saying it hurt, she'd stop for a moment and then go right back to it. I booked for 90 minutes, was told it was $80 (it is advertised here for $79.99). The first hour was spent on just my back, I was begging her to move onto the rest of my body, she kept saying "yes, later, later." I get massages regularly, 1-4 times every 14 days at a local wellness center in my home town. I've had lots of massages from all different places and this was the most unique. She was slapping my legs and feet pretty hard, which felt okay oddly enough, but was sudden and unexpected. To sum it up, Amy doesn't speak much English at all, she has a hard time with numbers, telling me my next visit will be only $90 for 90 minutes, which is a $10 increase, I'm sure was just a language mistake. I told her the tip amount, in which she added $100 to, and I'm glad I caught it before processing my card. I truly wish I could give more stars or had a better experience, but I felt no relief. I was so tense my jaw was clenched the hole time. The only reason I didn't get up is because I was so desperate for relief that I was hoping it would just get better. I have another massage appointment now at a different place, seeking the relief I wanted and hoped for yesterday. Amy has the opportunity for improvement and she does have cool techniques, but understanding clients is VITAL. She didn't know I was in more pain most of the time, and needs to learn numbers so clients are charged properly. No have high hopes for this place and would come back, but some things would have to change. The facility is very nice and well kept though. There were faux flowers on the table which was a relaxing addition, and immediately put me at ease. I just wish that ease had lasted.
