This masseuse not only comes to the house, which means we can get massages reliably since we both have trouble driving reliabily due to our health issues, he is one of the best masseuses I've had (and I've been getting them for over 3 decades) and he is a very kind person that I have felt absolutely not only safe but comfortable with. I fell asleep during my massage with him a session ago and no matter how exhausted I have never felt safe enough to do that before in my life! And he gets the issues causing pain addressed with the most minimal pain possible. I've only had 2 other masseuses that have been so effective with so little pain! I cannot recommend him highly enough!!! The quality of life improvement and comfort he provides is enormous!

So I booked and waited. Got a message if we could push it back 30 minutes but couldn't since I had to be out my Airbnb at 11 and booked 1.5 hour massage. Was able to still keep appointment which I very much appreciated. Massage was ok. Felt like it was maybe too early maybe and just didn't get what I had expected honestly. Booked a deep tissue and it was maybe a Swedish in pressure. It was pricey, but then again it's Austin and I'm used to Houston prices lol. I would have given a 3* but I appreciated him in fitting me in last minute. Just did not get what I wanted/expected from my massage

My boyfriend bought the groupon for JRS Massage for my birthday. I love that it's close to home. I…read morehave had a couple of massages in the past, but recently I've been going on a monthly basis at JRS MASSAGE. I do a lot of weight training so my muscles need a deep massage! What I love about Jason is that he listens to your needs and adjusts to to your body. He really gets to know you and understands what needs to be done. The setting is very professional and I always leave relaxed. The price is great. Most massage places make you sign up for a monthly subscription or stop at the 1 hour mark. Jason is flexible and focuses on providing you the needed massage. I'd recommend Jason because of his excellent customer service and price. I can't see myself going to any other place honestly!

I saw a groupon deal for Jason and based on the feedback, gave it a shot. I've never really enjoyed…read moremassages from an inexpensive foot massage to a not so inexpensive private spa massage. It has never made me feel relaxed. It was sort of difficult to find Jason's office because there were three buildings that look exactly the same and a tree covered the building number where the office is located. But of course I found it after circling a few times. Jason was very thorough in asking questions about your needs and took notes every session. The massage is done in a private room. It's the only room and usually very quiet. I don't like it when you can hear people talking outside. Jason does use scented oils, your choice, and hot towels which I liked. I requested medium pressure and it was perfect! I finally enjoyed a massage. Jason offered the same groupon rate for my next few visits which was very nice of him. His regular rate is quite affordable as well. He does get booked fast and he'll usually let me know if a spot opens up.

A couple of months ago, my friend, who is a massage therapist, took a workshop on Thai massage…read more Luckily, she wanted to test out her techniques on someone, and luckily, I happened to be nearby. Holy cow. My muscles didn't know what hit them. After that brief introduction to Thai massage, I decided I wanted to try out the real deal. So my search led me to Yelp, which led me to Mark Bonus. First of all, his name. How cool is his name? When you meet him in real life, you immediately begin to question your lifestyle and wonder how can you become more like Mark. He is zen. He is peaceful. He is calm. I adore his aura. Then, there is the massage. It's soothing and therapeutic. I felt like a giant blob that Mark was molding and putting back together. I never want to get up from the mat after he is done. So, the first time I visited, I opted for the 60 minute Thai massage. It is not enough time. On my subsequent trips, I've booked 90 minute sessions, which gives him more time to focus on my problem areas. I believe most Thai massage therapists generally recommend at least 90 minutes, so keep that in mind if you decide to book, which I highly, highly, suggest you do. Your body will thank you.

First, I get regular massages (try for every other month or more) and I get regular body work so I…read morecan tell a good one from a bad one. Second, get the thai to table massage for 2 hours. Its the best of both worlds and it was incredible. Third, $1/minute is incredibly reasonable and I would have paid more than that for this massage. Now onto the review... To call Bonus a magician would be to insult his knowledge, body awareness intelligence, touch, and craft that he clearly has mastered. Its been 2 weeks since my massage and I'm tempted to get on a plane back to Austin just so that I can see him. I spent 2.5 hours with this man and not only did I love his home, love the sacred space he created for massage, and have a great time getting to know him, I left knowing more about my body. I also left walking straighter and taller than ever before. He's incredibly attentive to parts of your body that are tight, for me it was my hips. Which he stretched and massaged in every which way and they felt better for days. This wasn't just a massage, it was a lesson in body mechanics. I learned about pain/tightness usually occurring on diagonals (sore left shoulder, tight right hip, etc.). He massaged the front part of my shoulder, my pecs, which most people forget/don't work on. Most of us spend our life hunched forward in some way - at a computer, hunched back, etc., so its incredibly important to massage a muscle and joint from the front and back. I kinda knew this, but Bonus cemented it. He also taught me a killer massage for the front of my hip flexors, which almost made me want to puke, but I felt like I got new hips. There's nothing to think about. This man is amazing, so go get a massage from him. Oh and sassy miss waxy, his lovely partner, is pretty rad too so take care of that if you need. Hopefully I'll be back in Austin soon or I'll clone Bonus and bring him to SF. Side note: I'm not sure if anyone reading this is nervous about a male masseuse, but let me assure you, you have nothing to worry about. First, Bonus is just a good, kind gentle soul and you see that the minute you meet him. 2, Sassy Miss Waxy and he run their business out of their home and it rocks. And 3, if you're uncomfortable, get a thai massage where you can wear yoga clothes and it will be incredible.

I had Jay for a back and neck massage. I have an extremely sore neck, the pain has been awful. I allowed deep pressure, which hurts a bit, but really loosens things up. I may not have been completely relaxed lol since this is a massage with strong pressure but what he did was miraculous. Within 45min I felt SO much better. I'll need a few more sessions but I'm so impressed with the fact he really knows what points to press and stretch to alleviate the situation. The entire day I even feel taller lol!
