I had a painful ball of stress on my shoulder and Arthur did an amazing job to get it out! I had a deep tissue massage and he did a number of techniques to really help relieve any and all stress. He explained everything he was doing and was very professional. He works in sports medicine and really knew his stuff!! I explained what sports I play and that I was training for a half marathon and he made sure I would be ready to run my best and play a great set of tennis. He also showed me different exercises and stretches I could do to alleviate any pain in the future and to strengthen some of my weaker muscles. Really great experience!!! I already have my next appointment booked with Arthur! read more

As a result of the ergonomic nightmare that is my job, I needed a massage STAT, as in weeks ago! I really waited far too long before calling Kinetic Bodyworks to beg for an appointment for the next day. Angela was kind enough to fit me in at lunch when other chain massage places were rude, wanted a deposit and told me I'd need to wait! Angela is just great! She listened to my complaints and spent the full hour on what really hurt. Most massages I've had have left my shoulders and back sore for several days, and by the time the soreness has worn off, I'm in pain again. No so in this case! It's been over a month, and I still feel great! And as an added plus - Kinetic Bodyworks takes paypal rather than storing your credit card info in their computers! Love them! Call Angela today! read more

I was staying with family in Houston after competing at a national level weightlifting competition. I was a walking ball of myofascial mess. Kirsten went to town focusing on my upper back and neck and I walked out of there wishing I had a yoga class to take just to enjoy the feeling of new found ease of movement. When you go from one minute feeling like you have to fight your own body to sit cross legged to feeling up for a ballet class, you know something great just happened. read more

Both therapists know their stuff. I had one of the best massages EVER with Cheryl. She listened to my needs and really worked on the problem areas. Throughout the massage I can feel her working on all the right pressure points. My husband had his massage with Angela right after the marathon. Same thing. She listened and focused more on a recovery massage for him. He loved it, said he can feel his legs again after the session was done. Highly recommend these ladies!! They specialize in sports massage but they also do an array of other massages such as swedish, deep tissue, and hot stone. read more

I went to Kirsten after going to several different "regular massage" places. I told them I specifically wanted to focus on my calf muscles because they felt solid, like a rock. Those people told me they had to do a full body massage Kirsten focuses on my calf muscles. She got them feeling like butter in two sessions. I also went to her after I pulled a muscle in my back - it hurt so much I couldn't drive and ultimately needed a muscle relaxer. She was able to get the knot from the size of a softball to about a tennis ball size. I go here when I need a focused massage. Kirsten is amazing! read more

I needed a massage to deal with some lower back pain as well as some neck pain, and Kristen was amazing. Definitely one of the best masseuses I've had in Houston. read more

As an avid triathlete and someone who recently had spinal fusion back surgery, I am very careful about who works on my back. I have gone to countless therapists and now, the only person I trust is Cheryl Francisco at Kinetic Bodyworks. I have been seeing Cheryl since 2005, and I have also referred many of my friends to her. Cheryl understands my needs and is not your ordinary massage therapist. She knows the demands I have put on my body, and has treated me in both my muscle ailments and what is now my recovery from surgery. I highly recommend Cheryl and her team for those of you who lead an active lifestyle and need more than a simple massage. She's informed, thorough and simply the best. read more

I moved to Houston about 8 months ago and started the process of getting hooked up to the triathlon community. Top of list was where to get a good sports massage. I can't speak highly enough about Adrian and Kinetic Bodyworks! I've been doing some intense training over the last few months. I don't think I would have made it through some of my tougher weeks without him. The Kinetics crew always take the time to ask you what you need help with and they LISTEN! I've had a lot of problems with my IT band and since I've been seeing Adrian over the last 6 months I haven't had any problems with it. He also takes the time at the end to help me stretch which I don't do enough of on my own. The office is always calm and professional - my only complaint is that I wish I could go more often! read more

Finally, a legitimate sports massage in Houston. You'd think with all of the Crossfit gyms popping up, there would be a huge market for it, but it's incredibly hard to find a knowledgeable massage therapist. Kirsten at Kinetic Bodyworks is great, has strong hands and listens to your concerns. When I've told other MTs in the past to concentrate solely on my neck/upper back and that I don't need a full-body, they always end up spending time on my legs. No! Kirsten used a lot of different techniques, all of which really helped me out. I've recommended to my personal trainer that he send clients here -- that's how great it was. read more

My need for a massage therapist goes beyond body work. Due to MS I have a great deal of pain. When I found Kirsten, I knew I had found the one. In addition to her focus on trouble areas. Kirsten has studied up and knows how to not only release my pain, she helps keep it at bay. So on top of the best massage therapist I've been too around the country, Kirsten is without a doubt, the best I've ever had. Thank you Kirsten read more

I am amazed at what Kat @ Kinetic Bodyworks can do. I was basically paralyzed and dealing with years of lower back pain. She got me mobile and moving after an 1 hour session. The next day I was moving around pain free!!! I feel like a new man! A real life saver considering the work I do. read more

I have been going to kinetic bodyworks for a little over two years now and I love them. I usually see Dede, but I wanted to take the time to recommend both Kat and Arthur. I have seen each of them once, Arthur for a 15 minute graston technique and Kat for a 90 minute sports massage. Both of them are excellent at what they do and they helped me get rid of some nasty tension in my calves and upper back. Thanks guys! read more

I went to Kinetic Bodyworks because of tightness I was having in my calf muscles that has likely been contributing to a plantar fasciitis problem I've been experiencing. Kirsten was friendly, professional and knowledgeable when it came to the issues I was describing. She gave me tips for additional stretches I could do to help prevent and treat my tight muscles. I would absolutely go back and would recommend Kirsten to a friend. read more

Recommend Kat for sports massage. She's very good and understands athletes bodies. Studio clean and comfortable. Easy parking.

I've been training for the Chevron Houston Marathon and I've hit a few bumps in the road. This place has really helped me out. Kat is amazing!! She really knows what she's doing :) read more

My experience with Kinetic Bodyworks has been nothing short of awesome. Cheryl is always attentive and professional, and as of now I've tried two different massage therapists (Dede and Kat) who have both been a blessing. They've helped me through all my weird soccer injuries and pains, and have even given me information on how to rehabilitate and strengthen areas that have been a problem for me. My girlfriend has also tried this place with great results. I recommend this place to people of all walks of life. read more

This is by far the best place to get a sports massage! I've gotten a massage from both Dede and Arthur and both have been very professional and knowledgeable. I usually go in to get my back and neck massaged because I'm always in constant pain, these guys always make it better. read more

I have been personal training in the Houston area for the past 40+ years and have referred clients to many massage therapists over the years. Total Fitworx, Inc, my company now refers ALL clients exclusively to Kinetic Bodyworks with undeniable confidence in their services and extraordinary knowledge base. Whether it's the stress of your daily life, or the muscle soreness you experience while engaging in your exercise regimen, I would strongly recommend contacting, Cheryl Francisco or any of her associates to receive the ultimate in bodywork. read more

After researching different locations to help me recover from a 65 mile ultra, I found Kinetic Bodyworks. After one session, I felt immediate improvement in my back and legs. There is a much greater focus on specifically treating what ails you and some helpful tips that you can take away and use on your own. One of the few times when pleasant discomfort yielded many great returns. Whether for use as a one-off, part of your regimen, or pre or post event recovery, Kinetic Bodyworks is there for you. Providing stretches for your problem areas is worth the cost of the session alone. read more

I originally went to Kinetic Bodyworks after suffering a knee injury while running which led to the need for fascia re-adjustment. Dede was very professional and did such a great job getting my leg back healthy that I decided to schedule regular appointments for deep tissue massage as part of my regular training. Unfortunately, due to my work schedule one day I needed to cancel my appointment. After an unsuccessful attempt via telephone I went online to cancel through their website which I thought I had done successfully. The next day I received a call from Dede asking if I had forgotten my appointment. I explained to her that I had a conflict and had cancelled the appointment through the Kinetic website the day before. That evening I received an email from one of their representatives asking for a copy of the email I had sent to cancel my appointment because she had not received it on her end and stated that she would be charging my credit card a cancellation fee according to their cancellation policy. I responded letting her know that I had sent the message through the website and did not have an email record to send and further explained my frustration with the entire process and that I would not be returning for additional therapy if they did indeed charge me the fee. This is when things heat up. I get another email from "founder and director of operations" Cheryl Francisco, demanding the a copy of the sent email otherwise she would be charging the fee. I immediately called Cheryl to attempt for a second time to explain that the message I sent was through their website and that I did not have a record of it. She then got very sarcastic with me saying "yeah, sure you did", basically calling me a liar. Not very professional at all on her part in my opinion. I also explained that I had initially tried to call and that their voicemail was full but she wasn't buying that either. This woman was straight up condescending and rude and went on to say that since I cancelled the appointment she didn't think I would be coming back anyway... All over a 75.00 cancellation fee. I had been going to Kinetic twice a month for a 90 minute massage and planned to continue with the same regiment into future. It's unfortunate that Cheryl has such a bad attitude towards her customers otherwise Kinetic would be a great place for massage therapy. I'm giving them one star because of Cheryl... read more

This place is amazing. I have been dealing with reoccurring IT Band issues and I have finally found a place who understands my issues, knows how to treat them and can give me advice of what to do avoid them in the future. Arthur's knowledge of how the body works is incredible. I can tell him where my pain is and he knows the best technique to use to address the issue. He also takes the time to explain to me why these issues are occurring and what exactly he is doing to help them. Every time I leave there I leave feeling much better than when I walked in and also more knowledgeable about my body and how it works. I can not say enough good about Arthur and this place in general! I would highly recommend it to any athlete out there. This place is committed to getting you back to your fullest potential! read more

If you need a massage, this is the only ONLY place to go. These people are the epitome of professionalism and expertise. Extremely knowledgeable in sports and aging issues; proven results rivalling any physical therapist. Head and shoulders above all others. This isn't some chain with mediocre staff that give very poor value for the cost and waste your time (if not doing further damage). They're the very very best and worth every penny! read more

The staff at Kinetic Bodyworks is awesome! They are friendly and very knowledgeable. Dede did a great job stretching out/massaging my hamstrings and calves. She also showed me stretches that I can do at home to prevent some of the tightness that accumulates with activity (for me its running). I would definitely recommend this place for someone who needs a sports massage by a knowledgeable individual. read more
