The interior and beds are simple and clean too. Ashley, who was my massage therapist, was excellent. I asked for a deep tissue massage. She asked where I wanted her to focus the massage on, and she really listened. She could also tell where I had a lot of knots and asked me if I'd like her to focus on that area. I started with a 60 min massage, and then changed it to 90 mins so that she could get rid of the tightness in my shoulders/upper back and also have extra time to work on the rest of my body. I will say Ashley can do a relaxing light massage, but she's really good at giving a practical knot-and-tightness-removing one. I went in with discomfort and came out feeling so much better and lighter. A hot stone massage also came with it! I highly recommend giving this place a try and especially having Ashley as your therapist. She's very mindful of the body and knows what she's doing. FYI, Bring cash to avoid a small credit card fee.

I was fully exposed for most of the massage, with minimal attempt to keep my groin covered. I'm convinced that he rubbed his genitals on my hand at one point, because there was some back and forth rubbing on my hand that did not feel accidental while he breathed super heavy. The massage itself was not a modality I have ever had before; there was no stroking but instead just pressing and holding for long periods of time which did not do much to relax me or loosen up my tight muscles. I definitely won't be back. My massage was a couple months ago and I delayed in writing this review because I convinced myself it was all in my head, but after reading similar reviews I feel it's important to give my experience a voice so other woman are aware of potential risks.

I had come in with some intolerable pain in my shoulders; I had overworked some muscles, tightening up my shoulders and giving me two days of headaches. Not only did I walk away feeling refreshed and pain free, I woke up this morning with no headache, got ready for the day with no headache, and now happily sitting on my computer still feeling loose and refreshed- this never happens. During the massage she was working on my neck and pinpointed the very place I get my worst headaches, the upper right corner of my neck, and proceeded to stretch the area and work on it. Toni was kind and easy to chat with but held a comfortable silence during the massage. Massages never seem to go deep enough for me, but after I asked for it to be harder she went deeper and it was just right. I recommend!

I made an appointment for 4:30. Since I hadn't been seen before, I was 5 minutes early. The office seemed a single business suite and, not wanting to interrupt anyone, I waited until a 1-2 minutes before my appointment to call. When I called, I was asked to wait in a janky suite with a sofa down the hall while they finished their current appointment. Fair enough. I waited there until 4:45. When I called back, I was told there was now a new customer that had materialized and was asked if I would like to make an appointment. I was very excited to find a massage place nearby. However, there is no reason to believe appointments will be honored. I'd like to think this is unusual, but I don't really have a good reason to gamble my time here again.

What could be better than a deep tissue massage AND a foot scrub? I planned my whole day around the soonest appointment I could get. I blocked off my own schedule, so I would have no clients today. It was going to be a self-care day. I rushed home from a nice lunch with a friend to plan how I was going to get there. I do not own a car, you see, so I take car2go during the week and rent a car on the weekends. You can't drop a car2go in Roseville, so I had to take the bus from Saint Paul. A 20-minute bus ride, with about 10-minute bike ride in below-freezing weather. All to get to my massage appointment I was so eagerly anticipating. By the time I arrived my fingers were numb and my face was red from the cold. I was SO looking forward to the warmth of a cozy massage table. And on the door, I see a sign (among a bunch of other, unprofessional, handwritten notes taped to the door) that said they had closed early today. I wish I had taken a photo. I never received even so much as a cancellation notice -- or a phone call. I really hate to write a one-star review for a small business, but eff you, Rapha Therapy. A very fundamental part of being a professional is actually showing up for your appointments. I understand life throws occasional curve balls, but if you need to "close early" on a consistent basis -- and since so many people have reviewed that you do, it looks like this is a pattern -- you should probably NOT be doing this work. NOTE: I didn't see inside, but the handwritten notes taped all over the front door screamed "this is a dump" to me. Not a place i would want to get a massage, since the scribbled notes all over the door makes me question not only her ethics, but her sanitary standards too.

They have signs posted in the office stating that Groupon made an error, and that the foot-scrub is included in the massage time, not an "and" like advertised. I was surprised, but the price was cheap enough I didn't argue it. The music in the massage room was upbeat classical, not very relaxing. The massage itself wasn't amazing, wasn't awful, just average. Except that we ended after 65 minutes. Not cool.

However, when we arrived, we were taken to separate rooms. During my massage, the therapist kept leaving the room to answer the phone or the door, cutting into the time I paid for. To make matters worse, she left the door partially open, so I never felt like I had full privacy. What truly crossed the line was when the massage therapist actually got on the table with me -- something that felt incredibly unprofessional and invasive.
