Greg is a highly skilled, knowledgeable, experienced massage therapist who is exceptional at his craft, tailors treatments precisely to the client's needs, and cultivates a an experience far superior to anything you'll get at the pricey island spas. He is a responsive, excellent communicator with a warm and calming presence who takes great care in preparing the environment and encourages feedback. I will never go anywhere else for massage on the island! read more

Once again, I had an incredible massage with Greg! I cannot recommend his services enough. He asks a lot of questions to get a full understanding of what's going on and what areas to focus on, and then he works his magic! He is super fast to respond and extremely helpful and accommodating with finding a time that works. Greg was very easy to communicate with, very very kind, and he made it very easy to find a time that worked on short notice. read more

I encourage you to visit Greg at Island Massage! My family booked a last-minute reservation to HHI, and Greg was able to accommodate me and my mom, who has Alzheimer's. Booking was a breeze, with him personally answering questions via text. On arrival, he and Amanda made sure Mom and I were comfortable, and they listened carefully to our preferences. The atmosphere was relaxing, with the windows open so we could hear the birdsong just outside the studio. And the best part-- the massage! I'm on the heavy side, so it's harder to achieve the pressure I like, but Greg skillfully hit all the problem areas I mentioned during consultation. Amanda handled the challenges Mom faces with respect and grace. Reasonably priced for a 90-min side by side session, I will definitely be back every time I visit HH!!! read more

My experience was very good. Staff was courteous. The service was tailored to meet my needs. If I retarded area and I need a massage therapist, I will definitely keep this place in mind. It was a great service for the price. Also, the location of the venue was also nice. it is adjacent to some outdoor smaller shops. And it is ilocated within an art studio. read more

Greg with Island massage really believes in the therapeutic healing of massage and when you talk to him, I am sure you will agree. He has the ability to do a number of different disciplines, so give him an idea of what you need help with and he will adjust his techniques to fit your needs. He started our session with a stretch and meditation routine, to get us limber and focused. After that we did individual massages and he continued with positive reaffirmations and healing focused work. Great resource on the island and wants to be nothing but helpful. read more

See all

Serious therapeutic massage by a very professional and gifted therapist. First experience was excellent and I booked another massage with Greg during my brief stay on the Island. Highly recommend. read more

Had a great couples massage from Greg and Keona. Would definitely go back when in town.

I texted Greg about a gift massage for my mom who lives in HH. (I used his online form first, but I don't think that worked.) He responded within an hour or two of texting. He was able to send me a cute photo of the gift card (even adding a heart stone in the picture) that I could then send to my mom. My mom had the massage very soon after that and she LOVED it! read more

First time in Hilton Head. Was looking for a massage and based on other reviews picked Greg!. He was terrific from the initial booking on. Very spiritual and personable and caring and made my massage a true mind out of body experience! If I get back to Hilton Head next year... I'm definitely booking him again! read more

We had a couples massage with Greg and Amy, wonderful experience! They listened to us and really tackled our ailments. We appreciate their kindness! read more

Greg was fantastic! I get massages monthly back in CO so I'm always nervous to try someone new, especially of the opposite sex. I was in HHI for an extended stay and wanted to keep up with my self care, especially with my chronic neck issues. Greg took great care in listening to my reasons for booking and adjusting the massage according to my needs. He made me feel totally comfortable! Warm and welcoming, and a fantastic massage! I will book again next trip for sure. read more

Wonderful massage ! Wish I lived near Greg for more frequent massages! I will be back next time I visit the island

I was looking for deep tissue massage. Steve is a good practitioner, however I didn't receive deep tissue. His technique is an all over massage, working generally on one side (head to feet) and back to the other side. Hands always moving and around again. He discusses the concept of 3 dimensional fitness, breathing and flexibility. He pretty much talks through the massage which some clients may not care for. read more

My husband enjoyed massages at Island Massage. I thought Greg gave me a wonderful massage with energy healing. Namaste. My husband enjoyed a deep tissue massage from Joyce. We will definitely be return clients. read more

We enjoyed a wonderful couples massage. Greg and Keyona made us feel comfortable and refreshed so it was money well spent! read more

Greg is phenomenal, he's been my masseuse since July 2022 he understands exactly what the body needs. A1 service.

This was quite literally the worst massage I've ever experienced in my entire life. This is my first yelp review, I never leave any reviews because I haven't experienced a reason to leave one thus far, until now. I communicated perfectly with Greg, mentioning I want to book 2 massages for and hour with the "option" to extend to 90 min I have photo evidence of this text exchange, with acknowledgment from Greg the day before the booking. When I walked in, I mentioned, "we are only going to be able to get an hour long massage" Greg and his colleague rudely replied with a snark attitude as if I didn't correspond about this the day prior to the booking. He responded in a rude manner saying, "well, next time be sure to let us know in advance.." it was said with clear agitation and honestly I almost got up and left then.. I decided to give them a chance and stayed for the "massage" I'm not sure I can put into words how bad this massage was, but there was negative pressure applied, they moved our legs in a circular motion so lightly, it was as if I was 95 years old and they were scared to move me.... My masseuse seemed to not know what they were doing. When I came in I mentioned I didn't want a very hard or high pressure massage, but I got the complete opposite which were their hands brushing around my body.. I've gotten basic massages all over the world and country, this wasn't a massage I felt worse after leaving this establishment as did my friend... My opinion is that all of these 5 star reviews are not all real.. My intention is not to bad mouth this small business, it is to make them aware of my experience and to improve their experience for their future guests. I still tipped 20%, for the record Happy to provide images of my text conversations upon request I hope island massage improves from this and takes my concerns seriously read more

I've had massage in many places but I'll say Greg is one of the best. He really listens to where you feel right or have concerns and puts a lot of thoughts into the works. Highly recommended! read more

Greg & team were exceptional in their service, responsiveness and scheduling flexibility. My husband and I were able to book a couples massage with short notice and Greg immediately went to work coordinating with other therapists to ensure we were taken care of at the narrow scheduling window we were looking at. The service was prompt and relaxing, making our trip to Hilton Head Island even better than we imagined. The hot stones and aromatherapy were extra touches that were truly appreciated! read more

One of the best massages I've ever had. We were in HH on vacation and found it on yelp. Absolutely terrific massage if you like deep tissue or have a kink you need worked out. read more

Wonderful massage ! it was worth every penny--especially when my neck and hip pain disappeared .

I'm from Atlanta and Greg is the BEST ever! He has done miracles with my back! I will always try to book him when I'm in town!

This was an exceptional visit during our time in Hilton Head. Greg was an expert, checked in along the way and was very accommodating. His associate Mare was equally impressive and I am so glad we had the opportunity to stop here before the weekend ended as it was one amazing treat! 10/10 would recommend! read more

As a regular client during my visits to Hilton Head Island, I can highly recommend Greg as your go-to massage therapist. Greg masterfully navigates to those tight muscles and artfully relieves tension. He will methodically massages all of your troubled areas with intuitive care and professional technique. Greg locates those pressure points and knows how to maximize relief with careful manipulation using reflexology and gentle stretching. He is sensitive throughout--quietly inquiring about pressure levels applied and to one's comfort. In addition, Greg's knowledge of human physiology is resourceful in connecting with mind-body alignment and the benefits of different massage techniques to relieve those blocked areas. Treat yourself to a 60 or 90 minute massage with Greg. I guarantee that you will feel relief from tension, and experience the return of a calm equilibrium like never before! read more

While on vacation in Hilton Head my husband hurt his neck, back and shoulders. We called and got him an appointment that day with Greg. Greg magic hands saved our vacation! He spent time talking with my husband, explaining why this happened and how to continue to help ease the pain long after the massage thru breathing exercises. We highly recommend Island Massage and Greg! read more

Greg was awesome, his studio was warm, inviting & full of joy. He is a very thoughtful & considerate massage therapist who is sincere about your feedback- & wants nothing more than for you to have a positive and healing experience. Honestly a superior massage & I can't wait to return!!! read more

Thanks so much Greg for the post yoga chair massage! Worked out my tight spots and left feeling amazing!

I cannot recommend Greg and Island Massage enough! I have had countless massages over the years- regular monthly ones at home, and spa visits while traveling. This massage was an absolute favorite. I have never had a therapist put so much care and energy into a massage to make sure the experience was perfect for me. Not only was the treatment a great experience, but the effects on my energy, muscles, and relaxation-level have lasted well after. read more

Greg did an amazing job with my massage today. I get massages often and he ranks right up there with the best. He used hot stones and had water sounds playing in the background. The whole experience was relaxing. Next time we visit, I will definitely be back. read more

Words cannot express the wonderful experience we had in Hilton head. We were looking for a quality massage. So my wife and I first inspected a premier hotel massage. But something told me to contact our buddy yelp. Island Massage is one of the best experiences you can have attaining massage anywhere. Very experienced, professional and service-based. Their only goal was to make sure that we were happy with everything and received the therapy we needed. In fact almost immediately after my wife and I had our massage, we scheduled another. Feel free to hire Greg with confidence. read more

Hands down one of the best massages I've received. I would recommend to anyone. Greg takes time to listen and is very intuitive. I'm so glad that I chose island massage and will be back for sure! read more

One of the best massages I ever received! Greg is kind and listens to you. He puts effort into his massages. I really love the aromatherapy he does. I felt like a new person. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Greg Schenkel is the best massage therapist in Hilton Head. Book him!

Truly outstanding massage (and I consider myself a massage connoisseur) but what was so exceptional was Greg's ability to move the energy and release tension in places I didn't even tell him were tense. He is a master of his craft. Be open to the possibilities of his uniquely intuitive methods that are sure to pleasantly surprise you with his skilled therapeutic touch. The whole experience was great from his positive energy and welcoming personality, to the aromatherapy he offers to enhance your own well-being through scent and touch, to the music that soothed my soul as he soothed my tired body. The warm stones he used were a welcome surprise that when the session ended he left one on my heart which was rose quartz, a symbol of soft feminine energy of compassion and peace, tenderness and healing, nourishment and comfort. That's exactly how I felt when I left, nourished, comforted, full of compassion and peace. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend you go too! Thank you Greg! read more

I come to the island for pleasure and business. I've been getting massages from Greg for 4-5 years. I always try to schedule with him when I'm here and look forward to it. I've seen perhaps 20 different massage therapists since I first began getting regular massages about 20 years ago. I can say that Greg is unequivocally the best therapist I've seen- by far. His approach, technique and strength are truly exceptional. I always tell others about his skills and caring personality. read more

Greg Schenkel is an amazing massage therapist! His work is highly intuitive. I travel the globe on business, and when I'm on Hilton Head for vacation, I'm also very active. Greg is creative in his approach, finding all the knots and kinks and working them out. I am a huge fan of deep tissue work, and consequently am a huge fan of Greg. He is genuinely caring and nurturing and my time on his table is always a highlight of my trip. read more

Just had another insanely good massage with Greg. I have described his work to friends as transcendental, which is not overstating it. I run and have hip pain and was dreading the consequences of a recent race. I had seen Greg the day before the race and miraculously had no hip pain for months afterwards. I am not sure what he released, but was so thankful for that massage. And from a more recent visit, I am still carrying a sense of relaxation and peace from his work more than a week ago. Greg is an extremely experienced and skilled massage therapist who is so effective and so kind. Such a nice person to spend your time with while he melts away knots and corrects imbalances. He's a genuine healer--highly recommend. read more

I have been going to Greg for the past two years and I always leave 100% better! I am in performing arts so my body takes a lot of wear and tear. He is attentive to your needs and gives one of the best massages ever, a true talent! Highly recommend him if you are in the area! read more

I have known Greg for over fifteen years and he is an amazing and intuitive massage therapist! Every year my husband and I visit Hilton Head Island and try to include time for a massage. We are never disappointed in our choice to receive massage therapy from Greg! read more

The BEST massage from the NICEST person I have ever met!! Greg's business is just called "Island Massage" without his name in the title, by the way. Please do yourself a favor and experience one of his fantastic massages. He is intuitive and nurturing, and you will feel completely spoiled by the time you leave. I have had massages all over the world and continue to think that the massages and energy work I have received from Greg are exceptional. In fact, HE is exceptional! read more
