My massage therapist (Chris) was away on vacation and I had severe pain. I decided to shop around for a therapist locally. I Googled massage therapist in 15136. I found Serene Therapy, I looked at the building and the location and decided to call for an appointment. They were able to take me in that day. The building was very nice and looked reputable. I have driven past it many times over the years. When I arrived I was met by the therapist who gave me the massage. She asked me to pay upfront. Then took me back to the room. She had broken English and was hard to understand. The doors to the rooms had sheets hanging from them. They don't close the doors. She and I were the only 2 people in the business. Once she started the massage she was trying to tell me to take off my underwear. She said, "coo, Koo, Koo." Then she literally pulled off my underwear. I said "no'. She then pulled out her phone and spoke into the phone in Chinese and it transliterated it back to me, she said, "You keep off your underwear and next time we will have sex." I was very uncomfortable and I said to her to give me my underwear. I got dressed. She gave me a stamped business card and asked me for a tip, in English. I then left the business. I am 60 years old. I have had hundreds of massages in my lifetime. I have severe arthritis. I am against writing bad reviews but this is an exception. I don't understand how they can be in business. I was scared. The authorities should arrest and close them down. If you have had an experience like this you can contact me. Just Google my name.

I originally requested a facial and massage but they only had a facial so I got a massage at a local place. When I was leaving my massage, I was rear ended and shaken up. My brother came to get me and I asked him if he could call and cancel my facial.. since I was supposed to show up in 45 minutes. He called. They cancelled. The text day while I was looking at cars, I received 3 texts and 3 voicemails asking that I pay a cancellation fee for $35 because "things escalate further".. I got upset because they did not advise my brother I would pay a fee and I feel harassed and threatened, so I sent them the voicemail for their review of the language. Today, I get text messages advising me that I'm a liar and I now owe two cancellation fees for a facial and the massage I never had

He was very warm and inviting from the moment I arrived. Before my appointment, he took the time to review my intake forms and knew areas of concern and what I was looking for with my massage. We discussed my frequent running and tight legs, and he designed a massage specifically targeting my areas of concern. I left not feeling bruised or sore like other deep tissue massages I've had in the past. The manipulation was firm, but also involving limb movement to get into the fascia more deeply. I could tell he had great knowledge of muscles and their connectivity. I will 110% be back.

My sister-in-law referred me to Chris. She said that he was able to relieve her pain. She receives deep tissue massage and manipulation. She had been seeing him for about a year at the time. She said that he had changed her life. So, I decided to try Chris. I really wanted to find someone locally near the McKees Rocks/ Kennedy Township area. The office, bathroom, and massage rooms are clean. They are very punctual, friendly, and accommodating. I highly recommend Chris and his staff. They are the best massage therapist in the Pittsburgh and surrounding area.

Okay.. so I am a big fan of massage therapy and don't really have a favorite place or therapist. I like that each therapist (that I visited in the past) has a different style or technique.. so I am always down for trying out a new place. "Sondra" was skilled/nice and provided me with a good first experience. I had a "Therapeutic Massage" - along with a little stretching. I left my visit feeling vibrant & refreshed.
