It's just not what it used to be...I was really hoping to have an opportunity to give a 5-star…read morereview, but unfortunately that won't be happening. My friend and I made appointments for a couples renewal massage after we both had received gift cards. While the robes and somd of the amenities are nice, the massage was really what I was there to enjoy. I was trying my best to not get upset (45, single mom of twin 2 year olds- I needed this break and massage) it just didn't hit the mark. I told the therapist I'd like it firmer and harder and not light touches and I think she must have thought I said the opposite- soft tickling type of massage and she didn't seem to want that style to change. Maybe she's knew but I have never gone up and down (being raised by her foot control) so many times in my life. Maybe she has back problems? My friend asked me afterwards why she was so loud (like I knew why? lol). Several times washing her hands and then threw the robe on my legs after the massage. Miss the exfoliating scrub at the end! Those were wonderful. While the after treatment room is nice, I'm sad to say, this just was such a disappointment. Hoping to have enough funds to give it another try at some point.

Update: 2024: Co-owners Ali & Cindy continue to do a wonderful job. I highly recommend their Spa…read more Their new massage therapist, Tina is extremely good. My Earlier Review: Co-owners, Ali & Cindy opened up this location shortly after the pandemic. The rooms are spacious and always have soothing music in the background to help calm your spirit. I find the staff to be very professional and client oriented. Cindy and Ali are great massage therapists. If I walk in tired and stressed, I always walk out feeling relaxed and refreshed. I try a different masseuse each time to get exposed to a diversity of massage techniques. I highly recommend Relaxation & Health Spa.

My body and mind left feeling so relaxed. It was an amazing start to the new year! My girlfriend…read moreand I saw Bob and Sarah last week. They were super flexible with our appointment. 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.

Until a few months ago,I had only found places that would give a decent, generic massage. I am glad I did not give up my search. Analiza, at Healing Massage and Retreat, gave me the absolute best deep tissue massage I've had in my life. After my first appointment I continued to go back. She is amazing at tailoring to my current massage needs. I have very strenuous hobbies and my work life is stressful. She leaves me feeling life a completely different person each time. The relief beyond words. I can't thank her enough. I highly recommend checking this place out!

I learned about Roc City massage from Groupon. I purchased a 90 minute hot stone massage for $60…read more That is an amazing deal. Alex was my massage therapist and he was very professional and courteous. This wasn't the regular run-of-the-mill massage (they get boring and monotonous!). Alex takes the time before the massage to go over any ailments you may have and goes over possible massage approaches that may help. For example, I experience frequent headaches/migraines, so he did some facial massage work. We also did some breathing techniques during the course of the 90 minutes. The heat of the hot rocks was a nice addition and really soothed my muscles. I walked out of there feeling better than I have in weeks. He also takes the time to talk to you after the massage to tell you what he noticed during it, and what to do different to feel better in daily life. He could even tell me what shoulder I wear my book bag on lol I would totally recommend this place even if you're just going for relaxation.

I've had folks who barely touched…read moreme, folks who threw me around and everything in between I had been trying out therapists for a more than a year trying to replace an excellent therapist who moved away. Then I met Alex. He is respectful, knowledgeable, kind, generous and a terrific practitioner. His only fault may be that he cares more about your well-being than you probably do. He really wants you to do your part in keeping your body happy so he will make observations and suggestions that you can use to maximize your health. The suggestions are reasonable and doable. If you participate you'll make strides, if not you'll just enjoy a great massage and get some temporary relief. He studies and practices true therapeutic massage. Do you want to feel better? Do you want to move forward with more knowledge? Do you want a partner in your striving for good health? Then Alex is your guy. If you want a fluff and buff go to someone else. Not because he can't do that but because it would be a waste of his considerable talent and knowledge. I've moved away from Rochester but I still travel an hour and a half to get a massage from Alex.
