They spent the right amount of time (not too much and not too little) getting to know us and our bodies before beginning. We both got 60 minute deep tissue massages and they really did spend 60 minutes working on us. For $70 each, it was definitely worth it. And what better way to spend a cold day!? In my opinion, any great experience at a business gets 4 stars and its either an exceptional product or exceptional service that earns it 5 stars. They earned it for both. Can't wait to visit next time I'm in Rochester. My back and hamstrings are still feeling happy. Thank you!!

They're rated 5 stars for good reason!…read more A few weeks ago, I was running on the treadmill and turned my head to stretch a bit. One of my first runs of the year. About an hour after the workout, I was tight and in pain in my neck...left side. I sat all day thinking it would calm and go away and it didn't. By the end of the day, I was using my entire body to turn my head. Strange enough, the exact same thing happened last year while running on the canal path with a girlfriend. It was one of my first runs of the year, we were chatting along our run, and I would look over every now and then during the run. After that run, I had an awful pain and tightness that wouldn't go away. Last year, I contacted an LMT to try to work out the pain (& what I thought was a knot). Unfortunately, that LMT wasn't able to rid of the pain and she referred me to a Chiro. I ended up going to that Chiro twice weekly, for about 6-8 weeks. After hundreds of dollars to the Chiro, I felt better. THIS YEAR, when the exact same thing happened on the OTHER side of my neck, I headed to Yelp to find a different LMT and see if this could be worked out thru massage instead of the Chiro. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!! Bob used a soft tissue technique and worked on my upper shoulder and neck area the entire hour. That did it. Bob did it! He was able to find the pain and heal me. No miracles happening, just pure competence in his profession. I am SO impressed and I'm happy to refer them.

Full Circle Massage and Wellness is my go to spot for massage therapy and relaxation caused by the…read morestresses of daily life. I've only experienced exceptional and extremely professional therapy with Laura during my patronage of Full Circle. Prior to having a microdiskectomy of my lower lumbar region (L4-L5-S1) status post herniated disks, I sought any relief possible for the severe and chronic pain(s) that I would experience daily of my lower back and affiliated sciatic pains down my right leg. Accupuncture, physical therapy, medications, electric stimulation/dopplar, etc., paled in comparison to the relief that a licensed, well rounded and experienced LMT could render in the form of deep tissue massage therapy and the loosening up of the muscles that were inflamed and nerves that were impinged. Even after the surgery, my body still remembers the type of nerve pain that only massage therapy could ever really keep at bay, for me. Over the course of the last decade i've moved or vacationed somewhere with a massage/spa and experienced numerous different LMT's that do good work, however, for the last four of these years I've only taken my business and my back and body to Laura at Full Circle. I clicked "$$" because in comparison to the chain stores that shall remain nameless, that offer massage services like a menu at McDonald's, Full Circle is a little bit more expensive. However, as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for," and what I've always consistently received from Full Circle was a piece of mind and comfort that my back and body will be righted.

You can book online (love it), but they ask you to call to make an appointment if you've never been. They got back to me the same day and were able to get me in the next day! I had Aaron as my massage therapist. He was very knowledgeable and professional. He made me comfortable right off the bat. We chatted briefly before my session and went over any issues I was dealing with. Instead of giving me the same old boring massage, he actually listened to me and concentrated on my trouble areas. He had a heated table, which i love even in the summer because i am always cold and he had soothing music playing in ther background. I don't treat myself very often, but I will come back to this establishment. I also like the note the owner has on the Yelp page, you can tell they really care about what they do and truly want to help their clients feel better. Thank you Aaron and Hurts So Good!

The massage therapist was amazingly professional and made sure that everything went well. She was mindful and present during the massage. She took her time massaging what needed more work than other places on my body. In some other massage places, sometimes I feel the rush by the therapist, either because they were running late, or have too many customers on thier schedule, maybe? My therapist (Julia) made me feel that she enjoys and loves her job! I Would definitely go back again.

Updating my review, kind of...still an emphatic five stars!…read more I booked my second appointment with Mandi at Bodywork Unbound, this time for a 90 minute ashiatsu massage. This was my first time getting ashiatsu (barefoot massage) and it was the best massage I've ever had. I cannot recommend ashi enough, especially if you like deep pressure massage. Don't let the barefoot part weird you out -- most of the time, the therapist uses the heel or ball of the foot, so it doesn't feel too different than the palm of the hand in a traditional massage. Mandi was great with communicating the amount of pressure and making sure I was comfortable during the entire massage. I left feeling like all of the soreness and tightness in my muscles had gone away (well, because they had!). So, so worth it.

I tried the traditional 60-minute massage. I didn't get a chance to try the hot stones, but I noticed they are available. The staff was professional, friendly, and welcoming. After the massage, they offered complimentary drink options that were not limited to bottled water. That was a very nice touch. One thing I thought was unique, and absolutely enjoyed, was being able to choose the music during the massage. They have Alexa available, so you can ask it to play whatever type of music you like. I chose reggae jazz, which created an almost island-style mood for the appointment. In all the years I've treated myself to massages, this was the first time I had experienced that. I highly recommend Healing Hands Spa.

I had two separate massage therapists, both excellent, professional, and customer-centric. I would highly recommend HHS and look forward to returning weekly for the next few months. Note: Don't be stingy with your tips. These massage therapists put their heart, soul, and physical strength into each session.

I'm not really sure what to say.... I've had massages in…read moredifferent countries and of course across New York State. But I've never had one like this. Pros- -massage table was comfortable - the place was easy to find. I chose to park on a side street and walk a block because I wasn't sure about parking -people were nice Cons - my room was fairly well lit. Didn't help with feeling relaxed -my masseuse didn't turn music on until about 6-7 mins in. So up till then all I could hear was outside the door and my masseuse's breathing. Ugh! -the music was light jazz which would have been perfect for a cocktail party. There was no spa music which usually gives me that "zen" feeling -what my masseuse did on one side of my back, she did NOT do to the other. She favored my left side for some reason -I kept feeling a pulling on the sheets and I wasn't sure what that was. She kept stopping and doing something to the sheets -her strokes were not smooth and uninterrupted....they were choppy -she did not guide my body into the places they ought to be. Most masseuses gently place your head, leg, arms where they ought to be and promptly cover what is not needed for warmth. -she was texting while giving me the massage. Ugh! THE BIG CON---she LEFT midway through my massage to check if her keys were in her car. Again, I've had massages all over the globe and never have I been left in the room. She didn't even add on time for the time she was gone! I almost walked out Usually with massages, I'm in a completely relaxed state and drift between asleep and awake. With this one, I left fully alert and anxious for it to be done. I felt like I needed to go to the spa afterwards :-(

I cannot recommend Julia highly enough!…read more From the moment I walked through the door, I felt genuinely welcomed--not just as another appointment on the schedule, but as a valued client. The office is beautiful, peaceful, impeccably clean, and immediately puts you at ease. Parking is easy, making the entire experience stress-free from start to finish. What truly sets Julia apart is her incredible skill and personalized approach. She doesn't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" massage. She takes the time to listen, understand what your body needs, and tailors every session accordingly. As a single mother of two young children, I carry a lot of tension in my shoulders and upper back. Those stubborn knots had been causing me daily discomfort, and Julia knew exactly how to target those problem areas while still giving attention to the rest of my body. I left feeling lighter, more mobile, and with a level of relief I honestly hadn't experienced in quite some time. It's rare to find someone who combines exceptional technical expertise with such genuine kindness and professionalism. You can immediately tell that Julia is passionate about helping people feel their best, and it shows in every aspect of her work. If you're considering booking a massage or stretch session, don't hesitate. Whether you're dealing with chronic tension, recovering from stress, or simply looking to invest in your well-being, Julia is absolutely the person to see. I already know I'll be back--and I couldn't recommend her more enthusiastically.
