~CASH ONLY~~ Appointments STRONGLY Recommended…read more Foot Massage: 1/2 hour = $30 1 hour = $50 Body Massage: 1/2 hour = $40 1 hour = $60 Couldn't get in same day (called at 12noon on a weekday), so I made an appointment for the next day *yay* ONE woman runs the entire operation herself. Literally just her to answer the phone, greet walk-ins and the one actually doing the massage. So.... this means that while you are getting your massage (CASH - In Advance), don't be surprised when she takes multiple short breaks to answer the front door and/or take calls for appointments. The private room was spacious, dimly lit and had a space heater that kept the room a very comfortable temperature. Undress, lay face down and put a standard sized bath towel on yourself. Minutes later, a quick knock on the door and she gets to work. Not need for conversation, this lady clearly knows her stuff. It seems that she sought out all of the kinks and knots with fierce determination (think deep tissue /sports massage). This lady is tiny, but mighty. I had to go into my special place a couple of times to avoid crying; it needed to be done. Some men might get the wrong idea: Because she is so petite, she utilizes her elbow, knees, overhead ceiling bars and other techniques such as straddling your head (while face down) to really work out stubborn knots using leverage vs brute strength; IT WORKS! She has mad skills with that overhead bar. She has feet as small as hands and if I didn't feel a slight toenail for a split second, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. As noted in other reviews: Yeah, she gets all up in there; like a job. I was slightly concerned that the icy hot applied to my neck may make it down into my butt crack, but nope. She is very skilled, super efficient and doesn't waste time with pleasantries. There are no "curtains" anywhere; WRONG PLACE - this place only has 2 private rooms for massage *smh*. She is a very busy professional and I admire her work ethic. Just a note: I tipped $15 (25%) because she was good, but cut the massage a little short (closer to 50-55 min), had multiple interruptions to answer the front door and phone. When I put the tip on the front desk, her English suddenly got a whole lot better, "you tip me $15? why not more? I did a good job for you." I said yeah, $60 for the 1-hour body massage and $15 dollar tip. She scoffed. Um ok. I didn't want to argue so I just thanked her and left. Kinda odd, but who knows what kind of day she was having, so I didn't take it personally. I would go back again. It would be heck of a lot better if she hired a receptionist. The constant interruptions for a late morning appointment on a weekday was a little much. I would describe the massage itself as a much needed deep tissue/sports massage for a very reasonable price *no frills - thumbs up* Noticed that she uses Aveeno lotion, a version of icy hot (sparingly).

Finally they were on the phone and asked if they could reschedule me because they had a walk in. I then had my massage which was-- okay. My primary complaint was not taken care of despite their best effort. It happens. I was thinking about coming back in a week to see if that would help- but upon paying she asked me how much I wanted to tip. I said $15. I felt this was more than fair considering the massage was $70, my neck and back pain did not change, and they called me nonstop to change my scheduled time. I felt like the lady strong armed me into tipping more. I will not go back. I do not recommend this place. The lady was nice- it very poor business practices.

However, I was disappointed because I specifically requested a full-body deep tissue massage and asked beforehand if he was able to provide that type of treatment. He said yes, but the deep tissue portion only lasted about 15-20 minutes before transitioning back into a light Swedish-style massage. I was also not informed that he only focuses on certain sections of the body, even though I requested a full-body session. I completely respect his massage style and understand that it may be exactly what some clients are looking for. I just wish there had been more honesty and clarity upfront so I could have chosen a therapist better suited to the type of treatment I wanted. I left feeling disappointed because I paid for a service that didn't match what was discussed beforehand.

I recently moved to Ashland, and am looking for a place to develop a standing massage appointment…read more Recently, I have had to work from an office again, which as we know is counterintuitive to our biology. At present, I felt a (for me) special need to receive massage therapy. I communicated prior in consultation my body's needs, and also early during our session that I needed a deeper, more systemic massage, but my communication did not impact the modality. The response I received was, "We'll see." I was not listened to. I wanted to wait a few days to monitor my biofeedback before formulating an opinion, and as some time has passed, I feel no therapeutic benefit was received. There was no felt toxin release or muscular physiological shift. My body just needs a modality that utilizes deeper pressure for systemic benefit. This would be a fine experience simply within the context of a relaxing afternoon, or if the cost was not aligned with local market rate, which is well above national averages. Unfortunately, I am going to have to continue searching for a massage therapy nearby. I only hope that this was simply an isolated experience, and not representative of the school, otherwise I feel a need to seek external influence in finding a massage therapy of value. I will not be returning to Ashland Institute of Massage, as I received no value for what I paid, which is disheartening coming from the region's education center.
