On a whim, I had to change my husband's birthday plans. He was supposed to visit a local spa, but…read morethose plans were abruptly changed, so I had to pivot. I did a quick search on Yelp and saw that Massage Crystal in Crofton, MD offered massages. Since it was extremely short notice, I wasn't sure if he would be granted an appointment. Nevertheless, I gave them a call and was pleasantly surprised they had availability for my husband. The customer service I received on the call was professional and helpful. The day of the appointment, he arrived on time and was set up in one of the massage rooms. He said he had a wonderful massage and would absolutely come back in the future. The shop itself was very modest and straight to the point, no big thrills or frills, but it works! They only offer massages, but just know you'll receive a wonderfully relaxing massage if you plan to visit. They offer deep tissue, hot stone, etc. Thanks Massage Crystal for picking up the ball that the other spa I made an appointment with dropped!

My husband and I visited Escape Massage this past Friday for a couples massage. The spa was easy to…read morefind and definitely was peaceful when we entered. My husband rated his massage as a 5 star experience but for me it was only a 3.5 star challenge. When we first arrived, we filled out a form that asked what kind of massage we wanted and what kind of pressure. I didn't know what kind to choose so I chose reflexology and I opted for light pressure (Swedish). There was nothing light about the beginning of my massage. The pressure was medium but closer to heavy. This pressure was applied in my neck and shoulder area which caused me to have sore shoulders and neck the very next day. My shoulders are still tender to the touch. The rest of the massage, however, was perfect. The pressure was just right and I appreciated the stretches the masseuse did while he gave me a massage. I felt so relaxed I ended up dozing off for a minute. I'll definitely return. The price is so affordable... you can't beat it ($120 for 60 min couples massage). You also get to choose your aromatherapy scent. I can't wait to return to give this place another try.

I will not be going back to this place ever again. The place is not clean. It stinks like some weird food.

This is a complete down-side to our experience and we will NOT be returning in the near future.

I have come here at least half a dozen times and have always seen John D. I moved to Bowie from…read moreGermantown, MD about 3 years ago and had tried several other local massage studios with mixed to awful results. I have severe neck and back tension for the last 12+ years with frequent tension headaches and always ask for *DEEP* pressure. At other massage studios I've either had a massage therapist that was not using enough pressure, wasn't focused on the areas I requested, or did not seem to be well-trained to give a massage. And even if I found a therapist at a studio that provided a decent massage, the next time I would get someone else with wildly different (poor) skills, or after circling the "problem areas" on their form or telling the therapist directly what I wanted, I would just get a generic massage over my whole body instead of any focus areas and they wouldn't avoid the clearly marked "avoid" areas. And even if they immediately recognized and acknowledged "your neck is very tense!" I would leave feeling frustrated, still tense, and feel like I wasted money. Or the therapist would use things like their elbows (why?) to jab into me which was "deep" but didn't seem like it was an actual massage technique or if it *was* it wasn't used appropriately, as deep does not = pushing as hard as you can. After dozens of massages over the years I can tell on the first visit if a place is worth going back to. Onto John: From my very first visit here (Sept 2025) John immediately sat me down and asked, what was bothering me? After going through my issues, he'd then confirm "Would you like me to focus on your neck and shoulders today?" and then get to work. John is a rather big guy, (not sure how tall he is but definitely taller than 6'3!) and can look intimidating but he's a big softie! As a woman who mainly preferred female therapists, I was immediately comfortable with John and have exclusively booked with him since that first visit because I can tell he knows what he's doing and I always feel better after my appointments with him. I've also gone to my last several visits in a walking boot (I have an achilles injury) and he's made sure I'm comfortable and I completely trust him to avoid my injured leg and listen to what I need each time. My hips and lower back have been very sore from the walking boot height difference compared to my functional leg and he's focused on that recently at my request and it has helped immensely with my pain. I've always booked 1 hr visits but have considered booking longer visits which I never really have done elsewhere! Elements is more expensive than the non-chain studios in the area, but those places weren't worth the cost anyway! Another national chain (has envy in the name, you know who!) gave me a super lackluster massage in the past so I had been hesitant to try a chain again, but my experience at Elements has remedied that fear! Elements also offers gift card deals occasionally that give a discount which I just utilized for their mother's day specials. I will continue to book with John for as long as he is available at the Crofton location! I've also had great experiences with the receptionist - when using gift cards, canceling an appt after I chose a different day and time, and I've also had her reach out to offer an earlier time when John had a cancellation. The only thing I wish they offered was the ability to cancel your own appointments online but I understand they might not offer that so that people aren't constantly cancelling. A small critique as calling or texting the receptionist gets a quick reply always! Although I have not booked with anyone else besides John (looks like I've had 6 appts with him) based on his skills and knowledge I would bet the other therapists know what they're doing also! I will also consider getting a membership here because I know that I will keep going back :)

This Spa should be shut down if they don't have the manpower to have someone answer the phone and schedule appointments.

Elizabeth is amazing. I started getting massages after years of having back pain and neck pain,…read moremostly due to the fact that I was spending a lot of time sitting down and reading for school, which strained my neck and shoulders. I moved to Bowie recently and wanted to find a massage therapist closer to me. I started with the Groupon deal to check Massage Savvy out, and loved it. Elizabeth really puts in good work to satisfy my neck and shoulder pain. I used to walk out of massages feeling good but still not entirely satisfied because even when I would tell my previous massage therapists to apply more pressure, did not really do much for me but I still appreciated their work nonetheless. Elizabeth applies the perfect amount of pressure and makes her customers feel at home. Highly recommend! (Note: Her practice is in side the "Turning Point" acupuncture office. Threw me off at first when I first visited, but thankfully I always give myself 20 min extra to get to a massage therapist so that I can relax and sit while waiting for my appointment so I was not late.)

From the very first class till now, the experience has always been phenomenal. After a long stressful day, it's calming to practice yoga with her. During this quarantine period, she has been doing virtual classes every day of the week and what a blessing that has been. I'm no longer in the same time zone with her but her classes are at a time that's just right for me. I love that Robin takes the time to address every student's needs. She often reminds her students to "honor your bodies." The flexibility and calmness I feel after each class motivates me to continue in my practice. And her classes are not just for women - men join in too! If you have never taken any yoga class before, give Robin Bell a try. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!

Recently I had another traumatic experience at work and I believe it is directly related to my set backs. On my most recent visit with Patrick, he did an assessment and made recommendations. Yes, " Money answereth all things". However, when you have a business person who puts the clients best interest of healing upfront instead of $$$$, deserves a review from me.
