I have trigger points and very tense muscles in my upper back and shoulders. Though I generally enjoy a more therapeutic massage using deep tissue and myofascial release techniques, this was the most relaxing massage I've ever had - to where I actually fell asleep. Cici was very receptive to my requests for more pressure where it was needed. I do, in retrospect, wish she'd placed a bit more focus on my trigger points, but that was my fault for not specifying. Again, she is very receptive and easy to talk to - I'm sure that if I'd asked, she would have elbowed tf out of my stubborn knots. The building is small, right next to the nail salon in the Unity Shopping Center - small but clean. The room was lit dimly and relaxing instrumental music played. Cici used unscented oil, and then used a hot towel to remove it so my shirt would not be stained. I was provided with a bottle of water at the end of the session, and left feeling like I had some blood flow in my shoulder blades again. For a massage that's not specifically marketed towards pain relief, I'd give it a 6/10 for relieving pain. For relaxing and winding down, I'd give an 11/10. TLDR: if you need to relax a bit, this is the place. If you have mild or moderate muscle tension and pain, this is the place. If your back is a minefield, you'll get relief but perhaps not as much as a chiropractor with a massage gun.

My massage therapist (Chris) was away on vacation and I had severe pain. I decided to shop around for a therapist locally. I Googled massage therapist in 15136. I found Serene Therapy, I looked at the building and the location and decided to call for an appointment. They were able to take me in that day. The building was very nice and looked reputable. I have driven past it many times over the years. When I arrived I was met by the therapist who gave me the massage. She asked me to pay upfront. Then took me back to the room. She had broken English and was hard to understand. The doors to the rooms had sheets hanging from them. They don't close the doors. She and I were the only 2 people in the business. Once she started the massage she was trying to tell me to take off my underwear. She said, "coo, Koo, Koo." Then she literally pulled off my underwear. I said "no'. She then pulled out her phone and spoke into the phone in Chinese and it transliterated it back to me, she said, "You keep off your underwear and next time we will have sex." I was very uncomfortable and I said to her to give me my underwear. I got dressed. She gave me a stamped business card and asked me for a tip, in English. I then left the business. I am 60 years old. I have had hundreds of massages in my lifetime. I have severe arthritis. I am against writing bad reviews but this is an exception. I don't understand how they can be in business. I was scared. The authorities should arrest and close them down. If you have had an experience like this you can contact me. Just Google my name.

This was until I discovered Asian Body Relax!! From beginning to end, this is literally the best deep massage, that I have ever had! The attention to detail, the technique, and the amount of care is a deep breath of fresh air! To be able to wake up the next day and really feel the results of the day before, is what I am most pleased with. I am booking another appointment at this week and at the prices given? You get far more than you get from other establishments; Massage Envy is nothing more than a continuous step of therapists freshly out of school. Asian Body Relax redefines what massage should be! Eastern practices, philosophy and technique are the ONLY way to treat yourself right!! 2 thumbs up!!

They must've been running behind because they asked us to take a seat and we weren't brought back until 5:20. The staff members we interacted with were very friendly, though only one or two spoke mostly fluent English. Our massage therapists were thorough and checked in with us a few times throughout the duration of the massage to make sure we were ok, the pressure was ok, and the hot stones weren't too hot. I thought the decor was somewhat minimal, but nice. The waiting area and the massage room were clean. The bathroom could've used a little sprucing up. I would recommend going back, but don't be in a rush.

I booked a massage here based on the $55 full body massage deal they're running right now…read more The massage itself was fine, pretty on par with other massages I've received in terms of actual method and feel. However, every other full body massage I've had had a point where they turned me over so they could massage my neck, shoulders, and face, plus the front of my thighs and stomach area. They did not do this here, so I would not call this a full body massage. Besides that, the session I booked was a 55-min session. When you're laying on the table, you have no concept of time, so when she told me that our time was running short, I was surprised since she hadn't yet gotten to my legs, feet, or the hot stones that were included in the deal they offered. And that's when she hit me with the "Oh no, an hour went by so quickly. Do you want to extend for another 30 minutes so I can finish the legs, feet, stones, etc" spiel. It is not relaxing to get asked to spend more money whilst in the middle of your massage. After telling her that I had somewhere to be and couldn't stay an extra 30 minutes, she quickly offered just 15 more minutes so she could do my legs, feet, and the stones. She kept insisting it was needed to finish everything and due to the language barrier and my people-pleasing nature, I relented. So I stayed an extra 15 minutes so she could finish the things she couldn't finish in the 55 minutes I'd booked. When leaving, I assumed I'd be charged for the extra 15 minutes but wasn't sure since she didn't say anything about an extra charge when she offered it during my massage. But when checking out, the price was $70 instead of the $55 deal I'd booked. Since she was the only one there and I had somewhere to be, I just quickly paid and left. But I now understand why many of the Google reviews have people saying they extended their massage time - since they are manipulating people into it. Either they cannot manage their time well enough to accomplish the deal they're offering, or they're purposefully going slowly to make you extend your time and pay more. Overall, I'm very disappointed. I was expecting much better based on their reviews and was excited to try a new place for massages. But I do not recommend anyplace that tries to upcharge you for no good reason in the middle of a service. Edit: Had to add to this since they responded to my Google review and also reached out to offer me a full refund and a free 70-minute massage, which I declined. Their response states that they sometimes offer additional time when they have free time. The woman who was massaging me actually left my massage room two separate times randomly when the doorbell went off, then apologized when she came back, saying that she was there by herself after the manager left and she was very busy today. So, now I know they're purposefully being deceitful one way or the other. Completely unprofessional and untrustworthy business.
