Excellent massage by Rene! He listens and understands what areas you need him to focus on. I appreciate his knowledge on how CBD can enhance the benefits of massage. Highly recommend, thank you Rene! I've been a client of Massage Associates many times over the past 15 years, they are my go-to when I'm in the area, a terrific team! read more

Comfortable and pleasant rooms. Rene is an incredible massage therapist who took away the stabbing pain in my back in one session. He is super responsive as far as whether you need deep massage, more gentle, or both. He definitely listens to your particular issues and provides a customized massage unlike some other massage therapists I have gone to. I would recommend Rene to anyone with sore muscles, pain, or needing to relax and de-stress. read more

The good Lord gives us all gifts. With that said,I am thankful to have benefited from the gift that is Miss Felicia's hands. A fellow New Yorker,I was afraid she'd be rough. But goodness gracious...!!!!! She even massaged places on my head that I never got massaged before. I didn't know what I was missing but now I do!This is the first time in a long time that I was so angry with my self for not booking a longer session. This was money well spent. I felt soooo good afterwards. This is being written afterwards... I feel good y'all. So good. read more

I finally got to try this spot and had the best massage Ive had in years. My masseuse Felicia was an expert. I did a 90 minute relaxation massage. By the end of my treatment, I was completely relaxed. The facility is gorgeous and it was very easy to book an appointment. Loved the location and will definitely be returning. read more

The office is warm and welcoming, you are always greeted at the door. I have been going for MKT massage from Linda for years to help alleviate muscle pain and stiffness from spinal arthritis. She does full body massages, but adjusts and focuses more time on the areas most in need on a given day. She explains and provides information she notices on areas that may have changes (e.g. swelling or overly tight muscles). Her devotion to her work and her kindness are exceptional. read more

Location is inside a large office building, but was easy enough to locate and had plenty of parking. I was referred by a friend , and am very glad I was! My service provider gave a quick consult and addressed any areas of concern. I was very pleased with the massage, and attention to pressure. I'll be back ! read more

It's a nice massage office. I got the ultimate deep tissue massage and also was having a bit of neck tension. Qingmei was the therapist and she talked to me about what brought me in and how much pressure i would like and problem areas. I asked her to put as much pressure possible and also there is a knot in my neck that needs to be massaged out. The massage was nice but she was very weak and barely applied any pressure. I made an another appointment with someone else and also added hot cupping to help alleviate the pain in my neck. read more

I had a deep tissue with Sandy and she was perfect and professional. I have a lot of neck/ jaw/ shoulder stiffness from TMJ grinding and clenching and Got most of it alleviated in 60 mins. The room was very peaceful with rainfall sounds in the background. I really like how they put a face cover when you're facing up and a stomach weight. Very big parking lot so don't worry about that. I was visiting Maryland and was treated to a massage by my best friend. I am going to have to come more often and see Sandy! read more

This place professional, clean, and I enjoy my visit every time. I haven't yet found a favorite masseuse yet, but each time I visited I've enjoyed it! Make an appointment is super easy you can call or go online! I've recommended them to my bestie and she goes there too! Don't wait book them now. read more

I came here because a friend gave me a gift certificate. I was excited after reading the reviews, and even more pleased when I stepped inside. Even in a office building atmosphere, the place is warm and welcoming. The staff are all so friendly, and I was greeted and taken care of immediately. The place is very clean, and although you know all rooms are turned over after each treatment, it was nice to actually see it happen with your own eyes. I had a 90 min warm oil massage with Sandi, and she was absolutely amazing. Took the time to hear out my preferences in the beginning, and really listened. Her touch was perfect and relaxing, just as I had hoped. I would definitely come back here another time, and recommend Sandi to others!! read more

See all

I've seen a few massage therapists here. I get insomnia from stress. I saw Qingmei last week. My neck and shoulders were so tight and I hadn't slept well in two weeks. One 60 minute swedish massage later and I was a new person. I've been sleeping so much better since. I've also seen Tara and Sandi - they're also excellent. read more

Came back here to continue to send praise - never had a bad experience here. My schedule was not aligning with favorite therapist Gary - he was booked up! I scheduled an appointment with Thomas and he did a fantastic job. Highly recommend Thomas, especially if you like a firm pressure and a great neck, back, shoulder experience. Thank you Thomas! read more

This was my first professional massage and I loved it so much! I got the 60 minute stress relief massage with Tammy. Right away she sat me down and walked me through the process, as well as discussed any specific areas I wanted to focus on. The massage itself was heavenly and relaxing! I especially loved the heated bed! The combination almost put me to sleep! I will definitely be coming back as soon as I can! read more

When I first walked in, Lisa greeted me with the warmest smile. She knew immediately who I was and was both professional and personable. The environment is warm yet calming, which I really like. My masseuse, Sandi, sat with me and emanated care. I opened up to her about my acute and longer term health goals. She curated a custom massage that combined lomi lomi, reiki and myofascial. IT. WAS. PHENOMENAL! I hydrated and rested in the car for about 30 minutes before pulling off I was so relaxed. I will definitely be back! read more

I have been searching for a good massage place in Howard County for a long time. I finally found this place which offers a professional and relaxing massage. I tried three different masseuses here and they were all wonderful. Definitely recommend! read more

This may have been one of the worse massage experiences I've ever had. The location is not super easy to find and when you call for help no one seemed to be able to direct. The woman I had seemed to be highly medicated or just unaware. The expensive massage was super to be deep tissue and I had to ask four times to increase the pressure for my shoulder and neck knots. I hate the feeling of counting the minutes until it's over and have definitely walked out of massages before but the pain kept me there waiting for relief. Would not recommend. What a rip off and useless. read more

Needed a massage and found this place with 5 stars. It was a lot more pricier than the average places that I went to. I made an appointment for a deep tissue for $95. The massage wasn't bad but it wasn't good. Deep tissue for me means a hard and firm massage but overall the massage was soft. I asked the therapist to do firmer but she kept reverting back to the soft massage. Massage overall was 4/10. Now the main issue. She charged me $115 and when I asked she said I had reserved the ultimate deep tissue, I had not. What I had reserved was the $95 deep tissue. But not wanting to argue I just let her charge me. I probably won't be returning. read more

Recently moved to Columbia and found this gem-great massage and staff, will be back many times

This was my third time seeing Linda. It was a fantastic experience! She continued to work the parts of my body that have been painful. If you have any muscle aches or problem-areas, Linda is a wonderful therapist and personalizes the massage to cater to your needs. Highly recommend!!!! read more

My massage therapist, Mercedes, listened thoughtfully to the muscular issues I have and addressed every single one of them! I plan to go back in 3 weeks since she helped my pain so much. read more

I love this place. I've gone twice so far and both masseuses were incredibly talented! Unfortunately I do not remember the name of the lovely individual who helped me last year but she was awesome and I just recommend this place as a whole, you won't be disappointed. The lovely Ms. Felicia did my massage yesterday and she was AMAZING! Such a kind woman and her deep tissue massage was no joke. She put in the work to rub out my tband and quad muscles. If you lift heavy or lift at all, I highly recommend her! She is the best, and got out all the knots I couldn't rub out myself with a foam roller. read more

I have now had three wonderful massages with Lynn at Massage Associates. They have all been perfect. I am so happy that I was referred to this very professional and clean massage practice. I chose the 75 minute massage because I am so unhappy when it is over that 60 minutes just would not be enough. I have also tried adding CBD oil on my last two massages which is a great addition for relaxation. I highly recommend this practice. read more

Gary has been helping me to relieve my back pain for months. He is the best!

They change the time of my appointment, the say before. If I did not agree with the change in person, and the change in time, I was going to have to pick another day. Also, there was no one in the waiting area to greet me when I arrived I had to wait. My massage therapist was not friendly. The massage was just OK. I was not Impressed at all with the massage. When leaving, there was disorganization. I will not return. read more

I visited Massage Associates for the first time yesterday and I still feel GREAT today - more relaxed, less stressed, I had no idea I could feel this amazing. Cyndi took the time to sit down with me to go over my lifestyle and what I would like to achieve from my time with her. I had a 60 minute full body massage plus 30 minute cranial massage. I'd never experienced cranial massage before and it was by far the most relaxing thing I've experienced. I absolutely recommend Cyndi at Massage Associates. read more

Three words - A-MAZE-ING! (one word really). Never having had a professional massage before I was given a gift certificate for Massage Associates MD and went for the first time this past March, 2014. The person who gave me the gift recommended a 90 minute massage. This being my first experience I started out with the special they had going that month which was a 60 minute massage. It was extremely relaxing and I enjoyed it immensely. The next time I went I tried the 75 minute massage and that was really just a teaser. It didn't feel that much different from the 60 minute version. The next time I went I tried the 90 minute version and now I'm stuck. I have gone back at least monthly for the 90 minute version. The massage therapist will ask you if there is any part of your body that might need more attention each visit and if so, they will do some extra work there. They are also not just stuck doing one particular technique. I go for the Shiatsu but the therapist mixes other techniques into the session and after four months, going about once a month, I have experienced a significant difference in my well-being. I used to struggle every morning with lower back pain. It would take a good hour of being up and moving around before the pain would subside. No more. I had been putting off having surgery for my Carpel Tunnel pain. I can't recall the last time I had pain in my hands. Forget the surgery, just go to Massage Associates MD. The staff is very professional while being very personable at the same time. The massage they give is the full amount of time for which you've paid. Although Kara is my go to therapist, I have also seen several others there and they are all very good. If you've actually spent the time to read this whole thing then let me just end by saying this: Do yourself this favor - RUN don't walk to Massage Associates MD. You'll be happy you did.

After years ago of massage, I've finally landed in the best place to get a massage. And only 10 minutes from home. This could become a habit. Having many orthopedic and neurological maladies, the Associates have helped me feel better for a period of time where I wouldn't normally. Visit them online to schedule an appointment, even on a Sunday. All types and time lengths are available. You will be glad you did. 3/18/16. I had. Lomi Lomi massage today and it was the best type of massage I've had. Again the Associates go above and beyond typical service and getting an appointment was simple online. read more

You can book your massage on their website. If they don't have the day/time you're looking for, I recommend calling them. I was able to book my massage the day before by calling them. I was able to find the location easily. If it's your first time here, I recommend calling them when you arrive because the entrance might be locked. There was a call box next to the entrance where you can enter in the code to enter. Then I took the elevator to the third floor and Massage Associates was on my left. I loved the whole experience. The massage bed was heated which was nice. I haven't seen that before. My massage therapist was very nice and friendly. She doubled checked with me about my problem areas before she got started. The whole vibe of the room was very calming and relaxing including dimmed lighting, scent diffuser, music and decoration. Massage Associates really cares about providing great customer service. I got the 60 minute full body massage. After my visit, I felt more relaxed and calm. She was also able to get two of knots out. I will definitely be coming back. read more

I recently hurt my neck pretty badly and the tightness/pain wasn't resolving even with muscle relaxants. I called Massage associates in the morning and they scheduled an appointment for me that day which was great. Many massages offices cannot accommodate same day appointments and that is really tough when you are hurting. I had Kevin as my therapist. At the start of our appointment he asked me what issues I had, questions, any limitations, possible causes, etc. Per my request he focused on the area where I had issues (neck, shoulders, back). It was a very pin pointed massage. Definitely not the sort of thing I expected having only had massages for relaxation in the past. He focused on neck and shoulders and specific areas where I was in pain. Because of the injury it certainly hurt at some times, but he was incredibly careful, and immediately responded, shifted or lightened when something was tender. Kevin is not a talker during massages. He is quiet and focused, so if you are looking to chat with or have an in depth conversation with your massage therapist, he may not be the right choice. I personally appreciated the quiet focus, and the results it yielded. The next day I was a bit worried because I was still sore, and perhaps in some areas I hadn't been before, but that was from the deep tissue work he did. But the day AFTER that, and this coming after 7 days of really horrible discomfort, the tightness and pain were completely gone. I could not have been more grateful for the complete relief. The office is small but welcoming. Everyone is very nice. Considering I have tried places like massage envy, etc, I highly recommend this office. Not pushy for services and they focus on what the client needs. Thanks for fixing me! read more

I gave Massage Associates 5 starts only because 6 are not available. The experience was top notch the moment I entered the door. My appointment was with Lynn and could not have been more pleasant or helpful. I felt like a new person... a much less stressed person. I highly recommend Massage Assoc. and specifically Lynn. read more

I've been having terrible shoulder and nerve pain recently and decided to visit Massage Associates based on all of the great reviews. My massage was scheduled with Felicia and she asked me a ton of great questions about what my trouble spots and she made sure to focus on them and of course made sure I had a relaxing time. She was incredibly kind, personable and the overall environment was welcoming. The hour session flew by so quickly and I'm looking forward to scheduling my next appointment! read more

Awesome service and amazing massage by Rasheedah. Can't wait to make my next appointment.

I have been using Massage Associates for some time now. All therapists there are amazing! Recently I have had a lot of trouble with my neck and back. It happened on Sunday, I made an appointment and within hours I was sooooo much better. Sandy, Chris and Felicia are my favorite therapists . However I can assure you that you won't be disappointed in anyone. I know there are slightly less expensive places but I wouldn't look elsewhere. Massage Associates has monthly specials and it is always fun to see what will come up. Be good to yourself and go to Massage Associates!! read more

Woke up feeing achey and decided to try to book a massage for myself and my husband. I called several places around and everywhere was booked or not open on Sundays. Wound up seeing Massage Associates on Google and the reviews looked good so I called and amazingly, they could see us back to back! We each has a deep tissue massage with Kevin (my hubs 60 min, me 90). The spa was very clean and the massage table was the most comfortable I've ever been on. Kevin has the most perfect massage bedside manner ever. He wasn't chatty unless I asked questions or wanted to point out a trouble spot...gave me an opportunity to relax. The amount of pressure was very good and he pinpointed some trouble spots that I didn't even know existed. Wonderful. Will definitely return. (My husband said he would too.) read more

First time getting a massage here and hopefully won't be my last! I had a gift card from a friend and was finally putting it to use. Booking the appointment was done online and the website was easy to navigate. The spa was warm and welcoming, located on the first floor of a small office building. I had a 60 min deep tissue massage and foot rejuvenation with Kevin. He had a great energy about it and made me feel very comfortable from the moment I met him. He took the time to ask about specific areas I needed him to focus on and anything else I was needing out of my treatment that day. I felt incredible afterwards and would recommend Kevin and massage associates to anyone in the area! read more

Trust me people, this massage is utter waste of your time and money! Since last two days I am suffering with neck cramp/ muscle pull and hence went to massage associates this morning thinking the massage will give some relief from pain, I gave all the details to Mr. Kevin Case regarding the cramp and the pain I am going through, he calmly made some notes and started the message which was ineffective, at the end of half an hour of massage there was no change in my condition! When I informed him about it, he calmly said "Everyone are different".. I just stepped out in disappointment with a question : if everyone are different then why is their messaging technique is same for all!!! read more

This place is a hidden gem. My fiance surprised me with a wonderful 1-hour Signature Massage because I was having an especially stressful week. I thoroughly enjoyed the calming aromatherapy, special oils, and hot stone massage. I also appreciate masseuse Kevin who did an incredible deep tissue massage! I left feeling completely relaxed. This was the best massage I ever had! Highly recommend Massage Associates. read more

My boyfriend and I both got massages here back in the beginning of september, his was the stress relief massage while i got the swedish massage. we were both very satisfied and when we finished and shared our experience with each other, we can both agree that this place was well worth it! they take the time to talk to you before massaging you, giving you a chance to express your concern and which area you want focused on during the session. whereas other places I've been to before just get right into it, so the way they talk and ask questions before starting the session is definitely something i love about this place! overall, found NOTHING wrong, was VERY satisfied with absolutely everything, so 5/5 stars! Looking forward to scheduling again for another session, hopefully very soon! read more

One of my new favorite massage places! Cindi was very thorough and answered every question I had about which service(s) would be best for me. I received the facial massage for my first visit - a very relaxing facial that left my whole body relaxed by the time the 1 hr was up. Cindi was very professional and I could immediately tell by her touch that she's been in practice for a while. Wonderful pampering treatment that left my skin glowing and my body thoroughly relaxed! I would highly recommend coming here for treatment! read more

Massage Associates are the best! They have many different services, and I've never had anything I didn't love. They are very accommodating of my allergies as well. Their experience shows in all that they do. read more
