My wife and I were in town for a week, tried to book sessions for Tuesday after Memorial Day - we were disappointed to find no therapists were available, so we booked for Friday, we both got 90 minutes sessions. The place doesn't look like much from the outside, but the good reviews are what got me to call and schedule. Never having been there we just scheduled with whoever was available, my therapist was Jody. I have been getting regular massage for the past 20 plus years, usually ever two weeks, I am a chiropractor and have also been trained in massage therapy, although I haven't had a massage therapy license for a few years now. Anyway, with my training and my experience giving and receiving massages, I can say without hesitation, Jody, was the BEST therapist that has ever worked on me. If I lived nearby, I would have found my new permanent/steady therapist. Whenever I am back in town I will schedule with Jody again - except I'll make appointments before coming in so I can be sure to get two sessions instead of only the one like this time. My wife was very happy with her therapist also, she'll post her own comments also. Like I said the place didn't look like much from the outside, especially since there was a lot of construction going on in the shopping center. Inside was very clean, comfortable and quiet - didn't hear the construction at all. OK, one more time, Jody was the BEST, ABSOLUTE BEST, therapist I've ever scheduled with. If you're going to get a massage in the Toms River area and don't schedule with her - well, it's your loss...... Thanks Jody, great job! read more

I went for my first massage in 15 yrs on Tues with John and he was awesome! I have had six back operations with rods and screws in my lower back. My hips, and legs, esp my hamstrings are always tight no matter how much I try to stretch. John didn't just start working on me, he spoke to me about my injuries first and worked out a plan of attack that I would benefit most from. He was very professional and I loved the room I was in. The light was dim and soothing music was playing that helps you to relax. John put a pillow roll under my legs to help keep my back flat. I have a hard time laying flat due to the rods in my back...its just painful but John asked me right away if I needed it and I was grateful. I did not get the name of the girl at the front desk but she was so friendly and had this amazing smile and instantly made me feel comfortable when I walked in. I scheduled another apt for this week but John was booked up the day I could go, so I am seeing someone else but I'm sure they will be just as good as John was. They will be seeing a lot of me going forward. Do your self a favor and try this place if you are hurting badly, have sports injuries, are under stress, or just to treat yourself to something nice! read more

In the category of day spas, Massage Haven is the best-kept secret at the Jersey Shore! Look sharp or you might miss it tucked away in the Corinne Jewelers strip mall at the intersection of Rt 166 and Rt 37 behind the Crystal Diner. Massage Haven doesn't rely upon the pomp and circumstance of the inflated cookie cutter chain spas always trying to lock you into a contract or membership. Instead they can boast having what I think are the most skilled and knowledgeable therapists in the business. This has always been my go-to spa to unwind from a stressful week at the office or get a therapeutic massage to relieve the aches and pains of my commute or gym workout. And Massage Haven also gives you a full 60 or 90 minute massage for the same price as all of the other spas that only give 50 or 80 minute massages so you get more for your money here! If you need an escape from stress and muscle aches, take my advice and book an appointment here!!! read more

First time visiting this spa. Haven't treated myself to a massage since Covid. What a great experience. The receptionist was pleasant and the spa was very clean. After completing the required info checklist, I met Andrea. She thoroughly went over the major physical issues and set up a plan to procede. This was also my first ever 90 minute massage. Andrea checked with me as we progressed and the massage was one of the best I have ever had. Actually fell asleep several times . I will definitely be back - the prices are very reasonabble - and Andrea was a bonus! Ann A. read more

I have been going to Massage Haven since it first opened years ago. I can't get myself to ever go anywhere else because the massages are that good. John Adams is the owner and the masseuse I have used all that time. He is also the owner of the school of massage next door and therefore really knows his stuff. From your fingers to your toes nothing is overlooked...whether your stressed out or injured he knows what you need and does it. Prices are great and you get a full hour plus. I urge everyone I know to go to Massage Haven. read more

I have been here twice so far, once in 2018 and once just earlier this week - and have not been disappointed! The first time I saw Judy (or Jodie, can't remember) for a 45 minute massage, it was amazing. This time I saw Dee for a 60 minute massage & facial, and I came out feeling like a new woman. Love this place, can't beat it for the experience, price & convenience! read more

Had a great massage from Kathy recently. Pressure was great and she listened to what my problem areas were. The massage was very relaxing and calming and much needed after I had just returned from a cross country road trip for 6 weeks. It was exactly what I needed. Massage Haven is always great. I've used them for years and they never disappoint. read more
