From start to finish, Bliss made the first massage ever for my 64 year-old Mother this Mother's Day…read moreweekend very enjoyable. The owner was very communicative, accommodating, and understood the specific needs of my Mom. Eric, the masseuse, is very laid back, easy to talk to, and took the time to put my mother at ease and accommodate her requests during the massage. Mom said several times after her hour-long massage was done that she "feels like a new woman." She's been having some neck tension and spasms, and we wanted to treat her to a massage this Mother's Day to help alleviate some of that. This experience was so pleasurable for her and she notes that she will take Erin's recommendation and schedule a massage now once a month. Bravo! Thank you for helping us pamper our Mom in this very special way.

Okay, this is hands down (no pun intended!) the best massage in Columbia…read more Jennifer Brown is the Licensed Massage Therapy of Bliss Massage Therapy. She is located in the Personally Fit gym on Gadsen. There are about 5 reserved parking spots to the side as well as metered spots out front. You need to go to the back of the gym and turn right to find her. Inside, you have a relaxing seating area and then the massage room. She will give you your choice of music. If you are congested, she likes to use eucalyptus to open up those nasal passages. Just a little background on me: Today, I sat down and finally counted the # of massage therapists I have tried in Columbia for a deep tissue massage. The total? 8. Yup, at several other brick-and-mortars in the city. I like a true deep tissue massage, not gentle Swedish strokes though she does offer Swedish as well. She hits my tension knots every single time without missing and I consistently leave much more relaxed and relieved. Jen truly has a gift of a healing touch as well as a caring empathetic bedside manner to her. She will make you feel at ease instantly. I moved out of Cola recently, and I honestly wish I could have taken with me in my luggage. If you need tension relief, please visit her. If you're like me, you will leave with a goofy blissed-out smile and noodle-like body!

She listens to your individual issues and needs, and tailors each session to your personal wellness goals. Most definitely the best massage I've ever received. By the way, you may remember her from Hand & Stone or Massage Envy, she spent years working with each chain learning and expanding her skill set, and has brought all that experience to her very own practice! There are also two additional therapists in house, one who is a reflexologist! Can't wait to give that a try and enjoy the calming space again soon.

Found Get Bent Massage & Stretching online after searching for someone that could perform cupping…read moretherapy in Columbia... After checking out his website and Facebook, I filled out the contact form on his site to inquire about an appointment. Rob contacted me shortly after via email to tell me his availability for cupping and to get a little more info from me as to why I was interested in this type of massage. We confirmed an appointment for Friday!!! I arrived and he took me to the massage room - we discussed again what I was looking to work on (and I noticed he had Gua Sha tools/scrapers too). He explained everything as he went along with each cup and we discussed the Gua Sha massage (which I'm very interested in as well) and he even performed a little on my neck which helped cool me down (I'm naturally hot). I never felt uncomfortable. After the cupping massage was over he did a little stretching on me for my hams, hips and calves. Rob was very friendly, polite, and knowledgeable!! Scheduling was a breeze! I'd highly recommend checking this place out for traditional massages, cupping, Gua Sha, stretching etc! I can't wait for my next appointment!

It's taken me a while to find a masseuse that's really listened to what I wanted and what my body was needing. When I first came in, she asked me what I wanted to focus on specifically and she also did a body assessment on me and recommend working on my hips and thighs first because my posture was askew that was part of the cause of my shoulders being out of balance. I was truly truly impressed. I can confidently say I will be back and will bring as many friends with me as I can.
