I…read morewent to PT for neck pain and while I saw improvement, it took massage therapy to get me back to 100%. He is a good adjunct to PT if you are struggling with muscle tightness and soreness not fully relieved by PT, and if you are an athlete in need of massage, he's an excellent resource for that as well. He got me through the NYC marathon in one piece!

Each time I think I've found the right therapist, only to discover the knot is back within a couple of days. So when a Groupon for Balanced Bodywork came around, I snapped it up. I figured that maybe Aaron could finally figure out what was going on and make my pain go away. I had never had a musculoskeletal massage before, but it sounded good and Aaron's credentials sounded impressive, so off I went. The massage wasn't like the others that I had received in the past. Aaron worked on muscles that no other therapist had touched and explained the reasons behind my pain. I waited a week to write this review, since I am so used to the pain returning, but after all this time, I can't even find where that knot used to be. I'm amazed, and thrilled. I think I've found my new go to guy. Finally!

I immediately went on Yelp to book a massage, but for most places in the area, you had to call in to schedule an appointment. I found Empyrean and the online booking system was so easy! The new client price was very affordable, and after a few clicks, I booked a chair massage for Monday. I had never gotten a chair massage before, but it was exactly what I needed. William focused on the area around my neck and I felt so much better afterwards. The pressure was perfect, and he was so calm and friendly. I am looking forward to booking another massage soon!

I considered going to a chiropractor but instead I booked an appointment with Carrie at Thera Massage. She was amazing. She is incredibly knowledgable about anatomy and massage techniques, and worked on all the problem areas. She explained all the reasons my pain arose in the first place, and knew exactly what to work on to alleviate it. I really experienced a lot of pain relief. She gave me some "homework" to do like stretching and fascial release techniques that has been helping a lot. I definitely recommend Thera Massage if you want knowledgable people who can actually explain why what they're doing is helping, and who really care about their clients.

First, let me say, I did not get a massage here. I tried. Pretty hard, actually. But I called…read moreseveral times and left voicemails and just never got a call back. Unfortunately, I did pay for one via a deal site called Lifebooker, which I will not use again. I had actually forgotten about the deal after a few calls to Spencer Massage. It eventually expired, but laws were passed a couple of years ago that expired vouchers can still be used in their original value, even if the discount expires. I called Spencer massage again and asked for an appointment - I was willing to use my voucher's cash value and still pay extra to get my massage. So, to be clear, I called Spencer and left voicemails both before and after the voucher expired. Eventually I called Lifebooker and asked for my money back - they basically said "sorry, talk to Spencer Massage." And since Spencer Massage never returned a voicemail, I just filed a dispute with my credit card company. They had the nerve to challenge the dispute. So no, this is not a lost needle in a a haystack or lack of organization - they spoke to a representative and made some sort of case for why they deserved to keep my money. I don't know what they could have said, but it had to be a lie, since I paid for a service they refused to provide. So I lost the dispute, and they kept my $29. It's not much money, but I'm very unhappy with the whole situation in principle. And if you're considering getting a deal from them, I'd beware - you might be one of the lucky few who get an appointment and are happy with their services, or you might just end up losing $29.

Highly recommended and thank you again Morgan!
