We came here on a weekday afternoon and called ahead. We asked for ashiatsu massages. We were told that this location of the two was more quiet but we still heard some motorcycles. My massage had a lot of rubbing while my partner's massage was strong and she got to the knots he had some arm pain afterwards from the overstretching. My massage was a little off because he wasn't going to do the ashiastsu without me asking and even then I had to speak to the front desk person about it. So it can be difficult for them to take note of what you requested on the phone. They did turn someone away for not calling ahead so it's important to call them if you don't want to wait. Overall, the massages were fine. They were $70 for an hour-long session. read more

My friend and I were looking for a place that wouldn't break the bank and but get the job done and eventually I wound up finding this place online and we decided to try it... I have been going for massages my whole life and usually aim for those "high end" joints that offer pools, saunas and fancy good smelling oils etc you get the picture. I can honestly say out of at least 50+ massages I have had in my life, this is without a doubt in the top 2 range of best massages I have ever had. The kicker...90 minutes total- 60 mins dedicated to my back and 30 for reflexology with CBD oil for only $110. I have been dealing with foot problems for months and after coming here it practically vanished, my back/legs/body feels amazing and I couldn't be happier. Each time I visit Myrtle, I'm coming here no questions asked. read more

Super experience here with 90 minute deep tissue massage. The therapist actually stands on your back (carefully) to increase pressure. One of the bet massages I've ever received. Affordable even with a 40 percent tip. Will be a return client! read more

An incredible experience! A young gentleman massaged me and was able to really work out the knots in my shoulder blades. The Chinese medicine is an added benefit. It feels like it is seeping into your sore muscle and smells like fresh peppermint. $65 for an hour massage that would have cost more than double the price in Charleston. No frills, but truly one of the best massages I have ever received. read more

AMAZING massage by TOM! The best massage I've had in my life. He was attentive and responsive, adjusting pressure as needed. Simply wonderful! read more

This is an awesome place to go! Me and my boyfriend got messages and they were so good.

When I was looking for massage places, I immediately went to yelp to read the reviews from patrons. There was one review that I read from a guy that worked out a lot like myself, and his review of how good of a massage he had was the reason why I came. They had a really high bar to meet. My massage therapist, Cici, reached that bar; which is why every time I need a massage, I come back here. I don't believe that you will be disappointed. read more

I have been going to Tao for years. It's the best place to get a massage in Myrtle Beach.

Underwhelmed. Had high expectations but focused too much on neck and hurt. Left unhappy. read more

My sister and I came in for a couples massage. THE BEST!! I didn't get our masseuses names but they both were very thorough they found all of our tension and stress and massages them all away! We added a hot stone massage to the 60minute standard and it melted away any knots that remained. Completely relaxed nd destressed us. I would definitely return next time I am visiting! read more

My wife and I enjoyed a great afternoon at Tao Massage. Easy to get an appointment (within 30 minutes). Friendly staff. A nice alternative to a rainy afternoon. Couples massages was amazing and so relaxing. Very professional. Would definitely enjoy coming back. read more

Made an appointment for a couples massage day-of and they were able to accommodate. We were running late and they were perfectly fine with that. The massages were amazing. The therapists clearly knew what they were doing. We will visit again next time we're in town! read more

(I'm posting this for both locations, as they are only a few miles apart, have the same ownership, and the staff is somewhat interchangeable) When getting to a new town for a new assignment, finding a good massage place is one of the trickiest things to do. Especially when it comes to Asian massage, because we all know some of the places are less about the massage and more about the ending. Tao's is definitely about the massage. The locations are neat and clean. The therapists are very good technically, and generally, genuinely care. I typically get a 90 minute ashiatsu. As with any massage, the therapist warms you up and feels for any especially tight spots. (I'm 6'2", 260, and like lifting heavier weights, so everything is always tight.) At some places, the therapist literally just walks on you. Here the therapists actually use their weight and technique to work the knots out. Sometimes they use the whole foot, and other times the heel, ball, or even their toes. In short, after a few minutes, they have gotten the bulk of the work done. Even though the women are fairly petite, they are able to delivery a very deep massage. They are not bashful about kneeling on the table and using their weight to get the knots out. After having gotten the heavy lifting done, they come back and use gentler techniques to relax the muscles (and you), and finish with some stretching. Yes, it is a few dollars more a hour than Massage Everywhere, but it is a far superior experience. read more

The best massage I've ever had. I only wish I wasn't so far out of a good maintenance. Summer found every single knot and kept cycling around all my trouble spots. I tried not to tap out very much; I needed every bit of it. I will certainly be back, and I can't recommend these guys enough. read more

I have been visiting this massage establishment there are 2 locations for over 5 years each time I visit Myrtle Beach. The massages are always professionally done. The techs I have gotten massages from all have been knowledgeable and provided excellent service. read more

This was a great surprise to both my husband and I. We had missed out regular massages at home (DC) and were nervous to visit a "random" place while on vacation visiting family. We booked a couples appointment and were seen the following day. The ladies who worked on us came in and did exactly what we needed done on our muscles. This will definitely be a stopping point in future visits. I have recommended it to our friends living in Myrtle Beach and would recommend again to anyone in the area for a visit or residents of MB. Loved it. read more

So, this isn't the relaxing kind of massage; it's more like the "Sweet Lort please don't hurt me" kind, BUT it was awesome. If you workout, this is all you never knew you needed. My back was like snap, crackle, pop and pop again. And I have learned if you are the least bit modest keep your undies on bc you are gonna be turned into a pretzel and well... things won't stay covered. Your a$$ will be exposed either way, know that in advance. I really didn't care, but think I should mention it for those that may expect something different. Anyway, all I know is I feel amazing and I think I may need therapy after that. I will definitely visit again when I'm especially wanting to punish myself and engage in self-care simultaneously. read more

The massage was excellent and the therapist was very adaptable to adjusting the massage on my sore areas.

Went for a couples massage, as requested a strong very firm massage, full hour. Excellent service, recommended

She literally walked up and down my back and massaged me with her feet sounds crazy but seriously the best!!! she had so many amazing techniques!! this is my new go to girl every week !!!! read more

I just received a 90 minute Ashiatsu & Deep Tissue Massage and it was worth every penny. My body was achy and I don't waste time on massages that people just rub lotion on you. I need muscle pain and tension relief and this did the trick. I only signed on for one hour but decided 90 minute was the only way to go. read more

I found Tao massage by all their good reviews on yelp and trip advisor so I decided to give them a try. I was looking for a good deep tissue massage and was weary since it's hard to find a good deep tissue massage these days. The woman at the front desk was very friendly and she greets you with a warm welcome. I arrived with my friend and booked a couples massage. We waited about 20 minutes until two massage therapists were available. Once the massage began I was asked how hard the pressure I wanted. I requested hard and it started out very mellow. About 15 minutes into the massage her touch was extremely hard and painful at times but I loved it. Turned out to be a wonderful massage and massage therapist was beautiful. I didn't get a chance to ask her name and I wish I did. I would highly recommend. read more

Good massage at a reasonable price. I've been here several times and have gotten many different massages. All of them very good. My favorite is the one where they find the sore spots and concentrate on relieving the issues. Always accomodating and friendly. read more

Rotator Cuff Pain: Recently I injured my Rotator Cuff during a gym workout that resulted in not being able to lift my hand above my head. I met with Tao Spa in Myrtle Beach asking whether they could help me with my Rotator Cuff pain. Tao Spa suggested a focus massage on the Rotator Cuff muscles/tendons could help along with stretches and heat. Therefore, I agreed to have Tao Spa's massage therapist begin the process and after two session my shoulder is well on to recovery. I truly Thank the massage therapist and the processional service of Tao Spa... read more

While visiting Myrtle Beach, I decided I wanted a massage after 8+ hours in the car and traffic. I found Tao on Yelp, and between the positive reviews and since they were one of the few places in the area offering massage on Sunday, I made an appointment. The lobby is large and spacious, and well lit. The lobby and rooms were very clean as well, which is always a plus. Due to other commitments, I only had time for a 60 minute Ahsiatsu massage, but wish I'd had time for the 90. As others have noted, these ladies know what they are doing, and what they do is not a light rub-down with lotion.. There's no warm-up period... they simply dive right in with the deep tissue work. I was with Cei Cei, and she found knots in spots I wasn't aware of, and there were some points we could hear the knots themselves loosening as she worked on them. Not only is she skilled with her feet, she used her hands, elbows, forearms, and knees as well. And all felt wonderful. She also included a couple stretches (arms, legs, and back) as well. If you go, prepare to be manipulated, twisted, and kneaded for the duration of your appointment. Oh, as an added bonus, instead of the Dixie cup of water many chain places give you, Tao gives you a small bottle (8 ounces) of water afterwards. I truly felt better afterwards, and will certainly go back next time I am in the Myrtle Beach area. read more

According to Google maps, this appeared to be the only spa offering foot massage in the area. Called first to make sure they were available and I was told to go to a different address. It seems they run two locations but only one was open. I requested a 30-minute foot massage followed by a 1-hour body and I was seated in an Adirondack style patio chair. A therapist came out with a foot soak bucket and after she proceeded to massage my feet with them in her lap. Along with not having the typical foot massage chairs they also did not have ottomans to rest feet on while they were massaged, very odd. Ironically they had left magazines in the foot massage area, one of which was for massage spa equipment, I left it open to an ad for proper foot massage chairs on the chair next to me. The foot massage chairs were in the lobby area which was quite large and appeared it was previously some type of retail store that they didn't really put much effort into remodeling. During my foot massage, the manager walked outside and a couple came in that had an appointment, my therapist had to ask them to wait in the small chairs near where I was getting my foot massage. So on top of getting this awkward foot massage with my feet in the girl's lap, I now had an audience. Eventually, the manager returned with another employee and my audience was shown to a room. The foot massage was good but I was kind of glad when it was over and I was taken to a room as well. The body massage was also good but when she was done she just left. Before I turned over she had not brought in a hot towel to wipe the oil off so I had expected her to return with hot towels. Waited at least 5 minutes before I got up and wiped myself off with what they used to cover me on the table before I got dressed. Not sure if I would return to this place again. Definitely would not come back for a foot massage unless they got the proper chairs. read more

The massage was fine, no better, no worst than most. The space though smelled strongly of heavily spiced food and must. So as long as smells and a lack of ambiance don't bother you this place will give you a decent massage. read more

Just got a couples massage yesterday. The room was really cold. My wife is 4 months pregnant and had a horrible experience. They didn't give a proper prenatal massage. Her back is in pain. She felt awkward as they moved the covers and exposed her body most of the time. When the room is cold you don't want body parts that are not being massaged exposed. I got the Asiago massage. Enjoyed the different massage technique. However they didn't get to my feet and time was up. Good timing and warmer room would make this experience much better. read more

We came down to Myrtle Beach for a week of golf. After three days of golf we were in need of some real massage therapy to relieve the aching muscles and joints. We chose Tao from reading their reviews. All three of us came out and were so impressed that we made appointments for two days later. We all felt that our therapists had exceeded our expectations, And we all get massages whenever we go golfing. Amber just knew exactly how and where to work out all my sore muscles. She worked out all the knots and kinks and even stretched my body in ways that I couldn't imagine. Even though it was deep tissue, it still felt relaxing. Tao will be the first thing we do next time we visit myrtle Beach. read more

Tao Massage Therapy has been a staple for me for years. The staff and owners are always helpful and friendly. Many different masseuses are available at this location that provide excellent care and that excel in Chinese massage techniques. Deep tissue, compression, swing, ashiatsu, friction, and stretching technique that rejuvenates your body. I feel that visiting has become a vital part of my health and recovery. I would highly recommend TAO massage for anyone's regimen for recovery from workouts, stress relief, body pains, and/or back tightness from a round of golf. Enjoy the best in town. read more

We just had the best deep tissue massage. I feel great and she found tight muscles in my neck which needed attention. DH had spine worked on and feels it was beneficial to a little nerve pinch he has been feeling. Reasonable 1 hour prices. Not exceptionally fancy, kinda basic accommodations read more

Excellent massage. It was almost perfect. I would definitely recommend. It was very enjoyable and relaxing.

This was the worst massage ever!! There was six of us and the hosts were trouble! The ladies did it way to hard and didn't do what I asked for from jump! Quoted us for one price over the phone and then tried to charge us a more. The owner was the worst person in the whole place. We will never be using this place again or sending anyone there! read more

This massage tops any massage that I've ever had. I woke up in pain and was intrigued by the back walking so came in and I was seen immediately. Facilities were clean and staff is accommodating.
