We came here for a couples massage and it was okay. I think the massage itself was actually very good and the owner even gifted us a bottle of wine at the end of the session which was very sweet! The reason for the star reduction is honestly the location. The massage parlor is in a dilapidated building that also hosts a drug recovery counselor and is just very rundown. Inside there have been efforts to make the massage room comfortable and nice, but it just overall felt very dirty. It was hard to relax when we did not feel very clean/safe. read more

9/16/19 It a new dawn for a new day and Yu Yu Hwang is in the building. Today a two hour service was preformed on me and it helped with the knots in my back and my sciatic nerve from when I pinched a disk in my back. Painful stuff to those who have experienced it and something I wouldn't wish on anyone. Yu Yu Hwang work her magic on the pain and slowly the pain evaporate...no....vanish. I had scheduled an appointment with Yu Yu Hwang several weeks ago and during that time I had learned Yu Yu's birthday is on 9/18/19. I had found Christmas gifts for my family in Seattle and knew I had an extra necklace for her. Since it is fairly close to her favorite animal which is a cat, I thought this would be the perfect gift. So if your reading this Yu Yu Hwang, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. I will be sure to get another massage here at a later date. Another good massage is down in the history books. Oh, I also noticed the long mirror on the left side of the room is gone. I liked that mirror. It showed you what Yu Yu was doing to help relieve your pain. Also there is a big pink picture frame on the wall where plants use to be. read more

See all

YuYu Hwang is definitely someone I can go to and help me loosen up tight joints that affect my nerves and bloodflow. I always go for the 90-minute deep tissue massage at least once a month, and the tension that my body has after these 90-minute sessions always goes away. Thanks to YuYu, I have been able to avoid lingering migraines, and I operate at 100% efficiency in my day-to-day work in the office and in the gym, where I train as a conditioned runner and utilize strength conditioning. I used to be very pessimistic about spending so much money on deep tissue massages, but I've learned to understand that spending money on a massage is an investment in your body to make sure that you are always operating at peak performance levels in your work, physical training, and everyday life. YuYu is attentive to my requests of primary areas to focus (primarily my shoulders and my lower back), and she puts a lot of care in her work. I'm really thankful for YuYu's help, and I definitely recommend anyone unsure about getting a massage to tryout Massage-Qi! read more

Yuyu is wonderful, always helps me out when I injury myself and gives a wonderful massage. Need to see her more often :)

Yea sure of course it's okay coz you got my payment, and for me NO Because I wasted my money! besides it's less time I really feel you're in hurry and didn't feel good like what other peoplesaying here. Well next time if you can't do it please just let your customer know. I communicated well when I know I'll be late. I called just to make sure it's okay.. and you said yes okay! When I was looking for your place and I couldn't find your place, i called to let you know. It's not fair at all!!! Like what you said it's okay to have this review coz It's just one bad review. NICE!!! Thanks!! read more

YuYu instantly makes you feel at home. She's very good at what she does. I normally need deep tissue massages because I carry knots in my shoulders and back. She uses a variety of techniques that I had never experienced before, and they work! And you know its a good massage when your body is still working out the knots even after you've left throughout the day. She reset my body to non-stressed mode. Thank you YuYu! read more

Does not take walk-ins, but responded immediately to my phone request from the parking lot. I only waited 5-10 minutes. There's learned technique and there's experience and then there's talent. This therapist has all three. Remarkable legit massage by a skilled practitioner who deserves your business and your respect. Thank you Yu-Yu. As a massage therapist myself, I am glad to have found you. Enjoy and heal! read more

Here's the DL. Very good massage in that she will get all the kinks out. She attacks every part of your body with the same rigor. There's no slacking. No lingering touch or pat in her transitions. Its kind of clinical, but it works. She's got amazing strength in her hands and will hop on the table so that she can get at the right place. If you are looking for a great massage, go here. If you are looking for a real spa experience, try elsewhere. The real downside is the facility. She has a room in an office suite. Whoever owns that office/ building hasn't invested in it in years. Here's a visual -- there is wood paneling in the bathroom and the walls in the reception are a color from the 70s. I think the sofas are from that decade too. Really a shame because some modern day paint, new seating and decor would make it look awesome. If I could split the stars, I'd give the massage a 5 and the facility a 2 (the areas I saw were clean). read more

Had a bad neck ache after a long 21 hour flight. Chanced upon this establishment that's nearby Marriott Suites. The back massage was great and it loosened up my mask muscles and alleviated my neck ache. Highly recommended. read more

Went for a couples massage this weekend and was not disappointed. The location is a little weird but the massage was great. The service was amazing and the owner is very friendly, she even left some tasty tea for us. read more

I appreciate how YuYu takes her time on problem areas, is welcoming / hospitable, and is accommodating with her schedule. Great atmosphere, great massage. Thanks YuYu! read more

I am 31 weeks pregnant today and I decided to surprise my husband who had a busy day at work with a couples massage! Yuyu and Alisa were great! The techniques Yuyu used was a combination of hot stone, hot towel, lavendar oil and her hand pressure was phenomenal! The background music and waterfall were serene. They are one of a kind and I will definitely going back on a weekly basis until I deliver and will ease as much tension and stress for my husband until we deliver! read more

Massage Qi provides excellent service and value. I recommend going there for a professional massage and a relaxing experience.

I scheduled a massage today with Yuyu at the last minute and she was able to accommodate same day. I got a deep tissue massage and it could not have been better! I will definitely be returning and recommend Massage Qi to anyone in need of a massage. read more

My daughter who's a student athlete had a wonderful sports massage. Yu really knows what she's doing and was able to pinpoint the problem areas immediately and work them out. My daughter who came in sore and stiff left feeling as good as new. We'll definitely be back. read more

In town for work and a day of travel was causing my bad back to act up. YuYu was able to fit me in on short notice and helped me tremendously. What started out as a desperate, rescue mission turned into a relaxing and enjoyable experience. I wish now that I'd booked a longer session. As an endurance runner and cyclist I don't know what to do unless someone is sticking an elbow into my IT band. YuYu's style is different than the typical deep tissue that I'm used to getting. Pressure is still there when needed, but much more gentle and effective. Muscles are coaxed versus forced into submission. I will definitely keep YuYu in mind next time I'm in town. Thanks again! read more

Absolutely amazing experience!! YuYu has a magic touch and significantly helped the back/neck/stomach pain I was experiencing for the past few days. I even booked online last minute and she was able to still see me. HIGHLY recommend and will be going to her from now on. read more

I traveled a lot and exercise a lot . I hurt my right shoulder and found this nice place . She is so professional and skillful using combination technic working on my muscle problem . And I highly recommend it and definite coming back for a read more

Great massage featuring multiple techniques/ best practices from years of experience. I am "middle aged" but still very active (soccer twice a week, and more). This deep tissue massage, along with some assisted muscle stretches is exactly what I need to speed my recovery between workouts. I felt more mobile, and relaxed than I have in years (as I hadn't had a good massage in years), and will definitely be back. read more

Still the best. Consistent service. No complaints. Yeah!

I would like to take a minute to thank Yu Yu for a fantastic massage I received today. My right shoulder and lower back had been sort for a while. I tried a couple of things to ease the pain but, nothing worked. It was not until I received the amazing massage for Yu Yu. She worked on my shoulder first then the lower back. I feel so much better. I will definitely be back on a regular bases. I have found my new masseuse. Thanks again Yu Yu. read more

Massage was okay. Therapist's phone was very distracting as multiple sound notifications and phone calls occurred during the massage. I felt this was unprofessional and does not contribute to a relaxing environment. read more

I was happy to meet Yuyu and had a really fantastic massage today. She has an amazing personality and magic hands that works wonders and made my body feel like new again. I had a one hour massage that I scheduled through the Yelp message and she responded back to me very quickly. Parking is very easy for the building she is in and the establishment is cozy like a little retreat cabin. It felt like an hour quickly passed and I was rejuvenated after a much needed massage. I did not want to leave and absolutely will book again soon! Thank you Yuyu! read more

I've seen many massage therapists but she is the best one! Since I am an engineer sitting down for a long time, she knows how to remove all the fatigue. You won't regret! read more

A little hidden gem in Reston. YuYu knew right away where I needed help. As a runner who hadn't been to a massage in a long time and it showed and she knew what to do, where to focus to iron out the kinks. Very kind and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend local athletes to pay a visit! read more

This is the place to go for a deep tissue massage! I highly recommend making an appointment with Yuyu if you are an athlete or if you have a desk job. She will massage those tight muscles away. The studio itself is small but it's a pleasant atmosphere with calming melodies playing in the background. She is very flexible with her schedule and she really tries to accommodate to your needs. Give Massage-Qi a try!! :) read more

Yuyu was fantastic! So skilled. Responsive, caring, and ultra competent. Amazing massage. Highly recommended.

Accommodated us at last minute. Great massage with various techniques! Alleviated headache and muscle tension....wow! Great job! Definitely see you again when we return to Reston from Tennessee! :) read more

I was here in May and I absolutely loved it! Seriously she combines 3 types of massage and it was amazing!

First, in addressing one of the questions I had while vetting potential Day Spa's; "Doe's this provider offer direct contact massage (hand to skin), or massage while covered (no skin contact)"?? The answer is direct contact. To elaborate, the massage table is set up like a bed with a sheet and lightweight blanket. You undress nude and get under the covers. Once the massage begins only the part of the body being worked on is uncovered while the rest of the body remains covered. This was my first experience being covered up during a session, and I must say it was extremely relaxing! The facility was cozy, clean, and welcoming. It's location is easy to find and it's private lot has ample parking. YuYu herself is very friendly and easy to talk to especially during the massage. The massage room itself is very homey with bear skin rug and all! Along with the melodic music and water feature you really do feel like you're in another more relaxing world! The massage itself was extraordinary! Easily the best I've ever had! There truly is a difference between eastern and western physical therapy! I received a combination of deep tissue, accu-pressure, reflexology, and hot stone rub down. YuYu was very attentive to all my trouble spots and spent extra time working on those areas! I've never even heard of a massage this thorough in that she touched every part of the body; fingers, toes, scalp, cheeks, etc. Nothing was missed, and all performed in an unrushed manner. It just doesn't get any better! I've found a new home for my physical therapeutic needs thanks to YuYu. read more

Massage-Qi provides the best massages I have ever received. My body always has aches and pains from years participating in sports, and most recently, Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Yu Yu provides a very thorough deep tissue massage that helps me recover from my aches and pains. She applies many interesting techniques that I have never encountered before, and she takes her time. I typically do not write reviews, but Yu Yu is not only extremely skilled, but a very nice personal who deserves recognition. Selfishly, I want her business to succeed so I have a go to masseuse when my injuries flare up. The price is also better than the competition in this area. Overall, Massage-Qi provides an amazing value with professional top notch service. read more

Extremely horrible experience.Looking a the 5star rating for this place..I went ahead to it try it out.The place looked nothing like a massage center.Low lit and little creepy too.There was only one individual taking care of the place and could hardly figure out who I was talking to given the low lighting.The therapy started with mu neck and shoulders and can't even tell you how odd the hand movements were.I have had massage in the past and I this was no where close to a regular massage.It was brutal!!.The therapist moved towards my legs and suddenly she disappeared.I waited for a moment and looked back only to find that she was texting someone on the phone.I ignored that and she continued with the therapy with just one hand on my leg,which almost felt like a touch and nothing like massage strokes.I waited patiently for 10mins to see where this is going and then looked behind to see what was happening..the therapist was texting with one hand and had the other hand just for the sake of it on my legs.I just lost it now and told the therapist to stop the session immediately.She didn't resist and I stormed out of that place.Absolutely unprofessional.I don't even have any words to express my anguish.I would probably fight to get this place to be closed!!!! read more

Best massage place in town. Yuyu is very respectful and nice and is very good at what she does. Her time is well spent taking care of you with no rush. She has great experience, every time i go i feel relaxed and loose with no muscle tension. I have tried a couple different places but really no one is good as Yuyu she really takes her time and works on the whole body. definitely recommend her if you are looking for an amazing massage. :) read more

I found Massage Qi on Yelp and Yuyu was able to fit me in last minute. Her hybrid style of massage incorporating deep tissue, stretching hot stones was just what I needed. She did an awesome job and I'll be back again. read more

Hour long massage and it did just the trick. Also very reasonably priced. Never once did I feel like it was too much pressure - I like deep tissue - and Yuyu read me well. Definitely will be back. read more

The massage was excellent. It was the perfect blend of massage techniques I have encountered in my world travels and left me both relaxed and invigorated. read more

Yu Yu was simply amazing with her hands. I've had massages from all over the world, USA, Ecuador, Japan, Thailand, China, Phillippines and Yu Yu is by far one of the best masseuse I've had the pleasure to encounter. I enter her place with a sore back, neck and I feel so much better when I left her place, I will be sure to come back and see her again. The price is well reasonable and a lot cheaper than going to other Massage salons. Highly HIGHLY recommended! read more

Had a massage great at Massage-Qi. After my last-minute request to book, I received a very prompt response and was able to get in the same day. The massage was a phenomenal blend of different styles and was deep as I requested. Very effective and relaxing. I will absolutely come back. read more

Yu Yu is amazing. She offers therapeutic asian style massage. I came in with a stiff back and neck from poor sleep, long travel, and stressful work. She has a wonderful blend of techniques including accupressure, Thai stretching, hot stones and warm towels. I like a firm massage and she has the strength to accommodate, but also soft techniques as well. I left in a completely different state than when I walked in. Relaxed. Breathing easy and dramatic pain relief. Her studio is in a cozy one story wooden cabin in the middle of corporate parks that is shared with a few different therapeutic offices. She is very experienced and friendly. I highly recommend her. And the price is very reasonable. read more

I haven't had a massage in years, but after a week or so of pain in my neck, back and shoulders, I decided it was time. I found Massage-Qi on Yelp and booked an appointment for the next day. Scheduling was easy, finding the place was easy, the whole process was very simple. She used a bunch of different methods during the hour and all of them significantly helped my whole body. My neck, shoulders and back felt great and my whole body felt looser and more relaxed. I'll definitely be back. Yuyu was very polite and asked if the pressure was good and the whole experience of multiple methods she used from stretching, deep tissue and hot stones was exactly what I needed. Well worth it, thanks! read more
