Ok - this time it went MUCH better. I had a masseuse whose name I think was Kim?…read more No awkward pauses where I felt like I was a table or palms over my eyes... Her pressure was perfect, I upgraded to some hot stones and they were the perfect temperature. The only thing that I think could have been improved upon was one side of my back got more attention than the other, but for all I know it's because that side felt like it needed more work - so I'm not going to dock points for something like that when the whole service was exactly what I wanted out of a massage. Next time I think I'll spring for a longer one though - 60 minutes wasn't quite enough, I wasn't ready to go back to the real world! Thank you to Allee Massage for fixing my last visit and letting me give it a second chance. I'll definitely be back (and referring my friends as well) now that I know just to avoid whoever the heck I had last time lol

I had been excited to finally check this place out after a friend gifted me a gift card for my…read morebirthday. I finally got around to using it on Labor Day, which seemed perfect since my neck and shoulders were feeling especially stiff. Booking was a breeze, the place is clean, and there's plenty of parking, so no complaints there! Unfortunately, the massage was just so-so. I couldn't get past how rough the masseuse's hands felt, which made it hard to fully relax. For the record, I was advised that I could terminate the session within the first 15 minutes. It's too bad the masseuse started over the covers so the rough hands situation wasn't immediately discovered and the timing to bring it up felt questionable. The biggest surprise, though? My gift card had somehow shrunk 45%! Apparently, it was charged a fee back in January. Definitely something I wish I had known about. The receptionist was emphatic and offered a $10 credit. For the pricing, I believe there are better options out there. Nice enough experience overall, but not a place I'd rush back to UPDATE: the business swiftly corrected their system issue and provided a refund for the shortage on my gift card, this was unexpected but much appreciated. For that, I've updated my review. Thank you Allee Massage!!

Got some knots? Pulled something? Or you just like pain? Ross can take care of you. It amazes me…read morehow strong she is and I'm so appreciative of people with such mastery and talent like her. I don't go to her for enjoyment rather for maintenance of my body. As I've gotten older, my body is just not the same as before and Ross helps me in moments of pain that I don't need to live with. I don't enjoy my time (so good it hurts) with her but know the end results will payoff. This is a no frills deep tissue massage experience. Ross (Rosalyn) works for herself and by herself so she manages all the bookings via text so allow some time for responses. As for commentary on her candor, if it's not for you, then it isn't. Grow some thicker skin. She's frank but not disrespectful. Her talent, pricing, and results make it worthwhile for many of us, based on her regulars. Her space is a bit dated but clean, dark, and comfortable. As someone mentioned, it's no Burke Williams so manage your expectations here. Cash preferred and considering she keeps her prices reasonable-it would behoove you to return the hard work with a nice tip. She offers 1 hr, 1.5 hr, and 2 hr sessions. If you're new, I'd recommend the 1 hr to start with and maintain with the 1.5 hr sessions to make the effort worthwhile.

No shame over here. It's money so I better make sure it's well spent. From the description, they were offering a "pure relaxation" massage and I instantly had images of myself laying on the beach with a big fat umbrella, two insanely hot guys fanning me, the sound of slowly lapping waves in the distance, and some ice cold water being handed to me by an insanely hot chic. Ahhhh.. Back to reality. This is a massage we're talking about. I saw Tommy's name mentioned a few times in the reviews so I decided to book with him. Upon walking in, I was greeted, offered water and then introduced to the man himself. He walks me back to his private room where he shows me the table, asks me which spots he wants me to focus on (lower back, scalp).. He proceeds to give me a super relaxing, firm (but not super firm where I would consider it deep tissue) massage. The hour flew by and before I knew it, it was time to go. If you're looking for a spot to get a great massage with a skilled therapist, come to see Tommy.

Parking is easy underneath the building. I have had myofascial massage sessions with 2 therapists- Ms Bria and Ms Blanca. Both have a slightly different style but both are amazing. The pressure is perfect, they seem to find the right knots. On occasions when I went in with back or neck pain, the therapists have been able to reduce the pain. I always leave the room feeling relaxed. End of the session, Ms Blanca also does stretching which is super helpful. Highly recommend it! Please give them a try.

From start to finish, with two different sessions now completed, I've had everything I've not known…read moreI needed and what I requested, far exceeding my expectations. Coming from someone who has seen chiropractors and massage therapists since age 12 (now age 44), I know a thing or two. However this was refreshingly different. I felt heard, understood, seen, and all the things you wish for in any given relationship! However I don't know about you as the reader , but for me I'd MUCH rather be MOST LISTENED TO and understood BY THE ONE who is going to help in (hopefully) making me feel better not just physically but mentally as well, by reliving the pain in my body. Amen right ? Well that's what has happened for me here. From my over explanatory phone call about my pain (I'm sorry and grateful to and for the woman who had to listen on the other end) to my over explanations to JONATHAN , who by the way is by far the best massage therapist IVE EVER HAD (and I do not ever LIE nor would I ever joke about pain management /relief). Jonathan truly listened, heard and understood me. That was blatantly clear by how he worked on my body. Done deal he's the best! But of course none of this could be possible without the man himself, Dr. Leslie Chui. The man exudes excellence, integrity and kindness. He's the type of guy whose presence calms your entire being , without even trying. His chiropractic technique and skill are above and beyond , just like his practice (Back & Body Wellness , in case you didn't pick up my hints ). Dr. Les has created something special here, not only proving that science can be medicine, but it takes the right type of people to orchestrate this type of healing. It shines through in his hand picked staff. I give Back & Body Wellness ALL of the stars, I give it a 10 out of 10. I don't think I'll find anywhere else that is so unique, full of skillful people and so dedicated to helping others. I Thank you so so much Dr. Les, I am ecstatic to have found your practice, and you

My experience was much more average. The therapists seem trained in a particular technique, but I did not experience the deeper level of expertise with fascia, muscular anatomy, and integrating different massage techniques that I have found at other places. There are a lot of beautiful touches and decorations that create a nice atmosphere, but for me, the actual therapeutic experience did not quite match the presentation. I also did not experience the same level of warmth, attentiveness, or empathy that I have received at other massage practices. Nothing was particularly bad, and it was a perfectly decent experience, but given the exceptionally enthusiastic reviews, I left wondering what specifically made it so outstanding for others.
