If you're a newbie like me, make sure you get naked under the sheets! I had my first deep tissue masseuse here and I can't describe how awkward it was :D. Thank Buddhaness I was fully dressed and it was a woman masseuse! Overall, I had a pretty good experience! I can take a lot of pain and firm pressure just didn't do it for me here. I'll be coming back for two more sessions and hopefully they can make me feel sore! read more

New England Muscular Therapy - Very relaxing atmosphere! - Massage Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

I have been here on and off for several years for Accupuncture. Friendly and helpful front desk and Robin is not only amazing in her knowledge and skill for Accupuncture but also a wonderful human and makes you feel so comfortable as a client. read more

I have been coming here consistently for two years now. I am a full-time practicing DENTAL HYGIENIST. So I am susceptible to getting osteoskeletal muscular disorders. I have tried the fancy Boston spas, resort massages, and so-called other deep tissue specialists... but after trying them all. .. now I ONLY see maggie. So this review is my ode to her. I am a regular in checking reviews before I go to any business. But i first came here on a 3-package deal for $99. But i neglected to read up on New England Muscular. Honestly, I am glad I did. I might have been closed minded to accept this place based on the total mixed reviews. There is *SOME* truth in some of the negative reviews this place received. YES, Community bathroom shared with other businesses on the floor. Yes, it may not be super fancy where they use flower - pedaled water to rinse you after your massage. Yes, it seems like there may be just 2 people working there (from my experience- I often only see Maggie and the front desk manager, Ed, there)... BUUUUUUHT... The whole point of the business..... is the massage. I walk in and I am greeted by Ed. He is the one that does the scheduling and the finances. Maggie comes out and brings me back to the room to prepare for the massage. (I always come in 10 min early just so that my massage starts on the hour... which it does). Before she shuts the door she always asks me if there is any specific problem area(s) before she starts. ..[like i said i am a hygienist so my problem areas are my entire back, all carpal tunnel related muscles, and my neck].. and she leaves only to come back on the hour. She starts the awesome slow music and this is where the AWESOMENESS begins. The pressure is always right. She knows how to manipulate the muscles to smooth out my tightest knots and stiffest muscles. She even finds knots I didn't realize I had until she got them out. Once she finds them she gets at them. She doesn't find them and neglect them like these other Quincy massage places do (eh-hem REPUBLIC OF WELLNESS)...where they just glaze over like they would in a methodic way they would for every single person. Maggie always works in a way where she gives me WHAT I need and WHERE I need it. If she were ever to leave this business for anywhere else, I would follow her. But she seems happy there so that means I will be happy there with her. I had a massage earlier today (Sept 8 @ 6pm) and she was still working hard. No slacking. No cutting my time short. I walked in at 5:50 super-stressed out and by 7:05 pm (after giving myself 5 min to rewake myself and get dressed) I walked out a whole newly relaxed and super happy client. ***MAGGIE is a diamond hidden in the rough of Quincy.*** I highly highly recommend. Don't judge a book by its cover. Even the nicest places have the worse employees. But this smaller quaint business has the best masseuse. read more

I'm a very active person...I do aerial workout (lyra/pole) and I run OCR (Spartan races). I've been to numerous massage therapists that I even lost count...one time I tried 6 therapists in a month. But after my appointment with Maggie, I called and cancel the rest of my appointments with other therapists cause I found "The One". Maggie is simply amazing. I've been to her for a year now and I have to say she never repeat the same massage. Maggie can feel the tightness on my muscle, I don't even need to tell her where I'm hurting...she's that good. Right after I ran a Spartan Beast (10 hours race), I could barely walk the next day, I literally walked into her office with tears in my eyes...2 hours later (i double booked knowing i needed it) I could walk with manageable DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and I recovered 100% more than a week before any of my friends. And not to mention all my other injuries from hamstring tightness to hip sprain...I always feel better immediately afterwards and recover faster after I've seen Maggie. Just an FYI - Her style is more a mixture of trigger points and relaxing massage. Back then I always prefer male therapists because of their strength, but now I realized its not how hard you massage the spot but where. Maggie is extremely knowledgeable on how muscle and tendon works, on some area, she doesn't need to massage very hard and I could feel the tension relieve already. Now both me and my husband are regulars...I don't think I can every do any of my sports without Maggie's help. read more

Bought a Groupon for 3 sessions (figured if it turns out good - I'll save $$$ for two other times). The place is located on the 2nd floor mixed use building (ie. students/classroom). The establishment itself bare-bone basics (not much for decor or ambiance). Sam was my massage therapist...it is a bit awkward at first given his age (seems to be in the 60s)...and I was concerned with the pressure. Overall, he was friendly, decent pressure and paid attention to the problem areas (shoulder blades and lower back). The reason I'm giving this place a 3 star rating is that it is difficult to schedule an appointment. Left VM for someone to call me back so I can reschedule. I got the cancellation on the appointment but no call to reschedule. Tried calling a few times and always get the answering machine. read more

I came here because of groupon. I have been here 3 times now and the overall experience is positive. At first I was not impressed by the environment, because it does not have the usual good smell, elegant decoration, or beautiful lighting as other places. But the message quality itself is good if you work with Maggie . I would say if you come here, call in to make appointment with Maggie instead of online with random choices. She gives by far the best back message. And this means a lot coming from someone who tried some places in Flushing NY, Manhattan, Chinatown, and Boston area. I would like to give a little tip for using groupon here. Apparently, you can only use the first time customer $35 coupon once but they also have policy of only accepting existing customer $45 coupon once. I am glad I did not purchase more than one of each. read more

Working as an EMT I do a ton of lifting (stair chairs down flights of stairs, lifting and loading the stretcher 10-20 times a day for 3-4 days a week) so my upper back pain is excruciating. Maggie was INCREDIBLE and worked out so many knots in my back I feel like heaven now. Will definitely be coming on a more consistent basis now that I found her! read more

Horrible experience here. There's that doctor's office table size paper sheet over the whole bad and face cradle. When I asked the therapist why they needed this since sheets are washed after every use that she said she didn't know maybe to keep oil off the sheets. This is ridiculous and very uncomfortable to lay on what feels like a pee pad for a whole our. I was scheduled for a deep tissue massage and the girl had no idea how to give a deep tissue massage!!! She also had nervous hands of course b/c she didn't know what she was doing. I had to tell her what to do the entire time! (I am a MT myself) It is very frustrated when you are in a lot of pain and you need someone to get it out and they are giving you a fucking rub down. I will never be back to this place and if you want a deep tissue massage I suggest you NEVER go! read more

The place was very unwelcoming. I actually was afraid that it was unhygienic. The people at the desk had the most bland of attitudes. I The only reason I would recommend this place is because of the guy I had. Very friendly, small entertaining talk, and knew exactly what he was doing. However I did not get the full 60 minutes that I bought. My mom had a massage the same time as me but the whole time I could hear her person talking the whole time. My mom was frustrated after the session. She wasn't able to relax like she wanted to. I just know I won't be back there ever again. read more

I had my first experience with New England Muscular Therapy last week, after purchasing a Groupon, and I cannot express how impressed I was. First off, be aware that this is not a spa. You won't find scented candles and oil aromas and heated pillows here. But if you're looking to get REAL bodywork with serious long-lasting benefits, this is the place for you. These people know. their. shit. I had Sammy, an older Chinese man, and he was absolutely unbelievable. I had had a knot in my upper left back/shoulder for months (I sleep on my stomach so my neck is always turned to one side which creates a lot of tightness). I tried using a lacrosse ball on my back, had my boyfriend stick his elbow with all his might into the spot on a nightly-weekly basis, even had a massage at Massage Envy, this thing was not going anywhere. After quite a bit of pressure and movement of my shoulder/arm, Sammy successfully got my knot out. Literally just unraveled it. I can finally turn my neck without feeling a strain in my spine. I was speechless. He could also sense other areas of my body that needed treatment, like my toes for circulation, my lower back from sitting a work every day, and my neck. His English isn't the best but it's nice because you don't have to worry about having awkward convos, yet he does still always ask if the pressure is okay, how you're feeling, and will describe the benefits of what he's doing if you show some interest, such as lifting your skull and massaging your upper vertebra to increase oxygen to the brain. I will DEFINITELY be back. read more

Wow, first review?? Come on, Quincy! I've always had Swedish deep tissue massages, but today, I had my first Chinese deep tissue. Confession, I came here thanks to Groupon, and I'm reallllly glad I did! Don't really want to go back to the Swedish way after today! Henry was my therapist and he is so cool. He was pleasant, talkative, informative, all around awesome. I can't wait to go back to see him. The office itself is on Hancock-- it's across from Donut and Donut, 2nd floor. Run of the mill outside-of-the-city business building, a lot like JP establishments. Water tank in the waiting room, etc., pretty regular stuff. The massage room is dark, calm, and quiet. More space than some establishments I've been to recently...and cleaner, too! Anyhow, the quality and style of the work I had done today was amazing; I was so relaxed it felt like I was there for two hours instead of just one. If you've never had this style of massage done, I can't recommend it enough. It feel as if you can literally feel your masseuse squeezing the stress right out of your shoulders. GO. Go here. read more

My 1st experience here was fantastic. I was able to schedule an appointment the same day, in fact 1 1/2 after I got off the phone with them. Henry was my therapist. I told him about my problem with my neck pain & numbness in my right hand. He knew just what to do, & the entire hour was focused on my head, neck, & shoulders. I soon had feeling in my hand again, & my neck pain subsided. That evening & the next day I was very sore but that was expected. I've been to massage therapy in the past, & soreness is just part of the process especially if the muscles are extremely knotted & tight. This establishment is not your typical luxury spa. The rooms are clean & have a comfortable ambiance & has relaxing music. This place is spa-ish with more of a physical therapeutic atmosphere. I felt comfortable & relaxed & confident in my therapist's knowledge of massage therapy. I am returning next week for a 2nd session. I am thankful for Groupon, & the past reviews, which in turn led me to New England Muscular Therapy. read more

Purchased the service from Groupon, tried, and I am extremely impressed and satisfied with the acupuncture service provided. Every time I walk out of the facility after my acupuncture session, I felt reborn. Thank you! read more

My search is over. I came in with a sore back, and came out with a subscription of 5 more massages. Henry is truly wonderful at his job and although he was doing the work, he made it feel like we were a team working to relieve all of the knotted up muscles. I already can't wait for my next appointment. Thank you. read more

Scheduling the appointment was easy enough. I came here when I was 8 1/2 months pregnant. It was a woman that massaged me and it was ok. I still have a groupon that I purchased but I honestly rather eat the money then come back. The building is dirty, the ambiance in the office is nothing to write home about, which honestly if the massage was good wouldn't even be a problem to me. She applied this cold lotion to massage - not sure how much more expensive it is to have the heated oil like every other place uses. I've had several massages during my pregnancy and I've had several massages in my lifetime and honestly I was really disappointed. read more

THIS BUSINESS IS A JOKE DO NOT GO!!!!!!!!!!! Upon arriving at New England Muscular Therapy i was off put by the environment. It literally looked abandoned and the only two people working there were right at the entrance as if nothing else was going on. Regardless I kept an open mind about the whole situation. I then asked to use their bathroom..........They share a community bathroom with the whole building floor........It was absolutely disgusted with the condition of the bathroom. There was piss literally all over the place and not in a manner that someone should ever have to enter into. I then returned and was ready to get my massage. I went into the room and got ready for the massage i set up a timer for an hour before the masseuse came into the room for an hour since that is how long i had purchased the massage for. The massage was not enjoyable and seemed as if the masseuse had no clue at what they were doing. The end of the massage ended abruptly and way earlier than it was supposed to go for. The massage went from 1255-141, although since i had already been so frustrated with the entirety of the experience i just wanted to get out of there rather than argue. When i say I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE I REALLY DO MEAN IT. IF I EVER GET THE CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT MASSAGES I WILL GO OUT OF MY WAY TO TALK DOWN ABOUT THIS PLACE!!!! read more

I have been visiting the Professionals at this office for several years now. I am a New Yorker and travel extensively, and at least monthly I travel to the Boston area for a week at a time. Traveling to this office to get massage and acupuncture therapy keeps me healthy and limber. In my travels I have not visited any practice which can compare to New England Muscular Therapy. This place is a diamond in the rough. Five years ago, I guess from working too much and not being as active as I used to in my younger days my muscles in my back began to spasm. I also did not have as much energy as I thought I should. Immediately, on my first visit I could tell the style of massage was different than I was used to and only after a couple of visits I noticed a difference. I decided to mix acupuncture with the massage treatments and my energy levels and spasms disappeared. My golf swing is smoother and after a day of skiing I am not even sore. Thank you New England Muscular Therapy for truly changing my life. read more

I would give 6 stars if I could. I'm a runner and am in training but had some rough spots that I knew would turn into an injury- and I didn't want to lose all the work I put in so far. I called up last minute and begged for a sports massage. They were so attentive and helpful, asked specific questions about my trouble spots, and took me that afternoon. I came away w confidence for my race, a plan for recovery, and, most importantly, PAIN RELIEF. This place is a diamond in the rough. read more

I bought a groupon for New England Muscular Therapy and I have been calling them several days to schedule an appointment. Noone picks up the phone. I left a VM but no one has called me back. If they can't even get the basics covered don't run a business!! read more

I went to this place around 6 months ago. I used a Groupon so the price was pretty okay. When I first came in, the girl working in the front desk handed me a form to fill out. She was bland and I could tell she does not have much passion working there. I ended up knowing she's actually the owner's daughter. After waiting for a while, my therapist came out to greet me. Holy cow he's a guy! My monologue at that moment was "I am not ready yet to strip naked in front of a guy other than my fiance"! So of course that was very embarrassing and awkward.... When I am nervous, my Chinese accent automatically kicks in. I spoke in an almost trembling voice and asked if I could change to a female therapist. The guy was very nice and said he did not know this but did not want to make me feel uncomfortable. But his daughter, again, questioned why I did not tell them at the first place. I explained that I did not know and that was my first time getting a massage in America. Of course her reaction on her face was "why you so dumb foreigner???" So the nice guy mentioned earlier managed to find me a female Asian therapist. I went in for the business. The massage was okay not great so to speak. I don't want to complain about the massage here because it was not bad. Like all other massages, this one ends earlier than I expected. When I walked out, half conscious and half dizzy, and told the daughter that the massage was not even an hour and it was like 50 mins. She insisted that I went in 10 mins before the clock. I admit that I did go into 10 mins before the cock but that therapist did not come in until like 15 mins later. Ok fine fine 50 mins is fine. Just fucking let me go then. The daughter stopped me when I was about to leave and ask if I want to leave any tip for the therapist. I suddenly realized that the only cash with me was 2 dollars. I said sorry I did not know I have to tip. Again, the daughter gave the dirtiest look on her face. Her look tells me that how should I not know this. I feel she's telling me that this place does not welcome people like me if I don't know about tipping. Okay... enough is enough... no matter how great the massage is, I am not going back to face with the daughter again. I deserve better attitude that hers. read more
