I made a New Year's resolution to make self-care a priority by having a massage from time to time…read more However, I've always thought of them as a special occasion item and sort of out of my budget. I remember a friend told me about this place, years ago - that you can get an affordable massage done by students in training. I went to the website, scheduled the appointment and I am so glad I gave them a try!! Since they are students, you may get a different person each time - and that is fine with me. I've been two times and each visit was great. They were professional, they asked me questions and asked if I needed attention to specific areas and they ask if you need more or less pressure. I have a sedentary job and carry tension in my neck and back so I asked for attention to those areas. My first massage was done in Feb 2022 and the cost was $35 cash. The pricing has since increased and its now $40 cash. You must bring cash. I also brought enough for a tip as well. I recommend this facility for a massage because they are very personable, they ask how you are doing and provide excellent instructions and take care of you.

WOW!!...Pretty much sums up my first experience and visit to the Northern Virginia School of…read moreTherapeutic Massage! The students are so intentional and caring with their massages. Everyone here is so friendly, welcoming, and the massage I received was amazing!! I'll start with the facility. Although a little difficult to find from the street, once you enter the space you immediately feel the serenity. The waiting area is bright, comfortable, clean and relaxing. The massage areas and spaces are tranquil and comfortable as well. The format is simple: Arrive for your appointment. Check-in at the front desk. Just tell your therapist what you came for, and they will take care of the rest! And, let's not mention...the price for a hour session is only $35!!....more than reasonable!!! The massage sessions are provided by the students as part of their work toward completing their clinical hours for massage school. From the moment I stepped through their doors....to the moment of meeting my therapist for the day....and finally, leaving...."EVERYTHING" was top-notch and professional. My therapist name was Stacy and she was outstanding! She was very focused and attentive. She had great technique and knew exactly when to variate the pressure to rid some of the most pesky knots that often trouble me after heavy workout days or my crossfit classes. I walked in like the "Tin-Man"--stiff as a board, with a tense headache and a couple bad sore-spots....but, walked out feeling completely renewed and so relaxed. I would say the quality of the massage was just as good as any professional one I've gotten. In all, I must admit I was skeptical, but made a believer! I will definitely be a regular and have already scheduled my next visit. Highly recommend!

PMTI's handling of its Graduate Clinic and recent graduate support is both unethical and…read moremisleading. In a mass email to clients, PMTI claimed the recent termination of all unlicensed Graduate Clinic practitioners was due to "new guidance" from the Maryland Board of Massage Therapy Examiners. This is misleading. Here's what actually happened: PMTI allowed unlicensed graduates to provide paid massage without legal authority. PMTI now admits this was "never acceptable." Yet for years, graduates provided massage services to paying clients under the false belief that this model was supervised and lawful. In my time at the Graduate Clinic, I was never supervised or mentored, despite the school's claims. The "new interpretation" excuse is false. The Maryland Board didn't create new law--they reminded PMTI of the existing one. This only came to light because graduates began asking whether their clinic hours could be used toward updated licensing requirements. PMTI responded by abruptly cutting everyone off. There was no transition support. Graduates were removed from the schedule with zero notice, no documentation of hours, no referrals, and no plan. For some of us, this was our only income source while finishing licensure. PMTI continues to promote unethical employers. The school shares job listings from businesses that misclassify therapists, require unpaid "auditions," and withhold compensation for training time--without warning students of their rights or labor protections. PMTI's public response is a PR move--not a solution. This isn't just a breakdown in communication. It's an abuse of trust, a failure of duty, and a betrayal of the very students the school claims to support. -- Student Oversight Collective

My honey surprised me on Valentine's day with a private couples massage class. I was a little…read morehesitant because I just did not know what to expect. Before we got started, the instructor Tye sat us down and pretty much gave us a run through of what was about to happen next, which was very comforting. She demonstrated every technique and then allowed us to work on each other. She was amazing & my boyfriend was able to learn from her quickly. We were there for over two hours and she never rushed us and she took her time to make sure that we understood every move. The atmosphere was very relaxing. There was soft music playing, food and more which helped make our evening even more romantic. Great prices and a great experience for couples who want to put a spark in their relationship! I was really impressed! We plan on going again soon!

This is my second review of Michael. I just want others to be able to benefit from his services…read morebecause there is nothing like it out there. I was working with a chiropractor for back and knee issue years ago, two times a week. He was great at what he does but I went to see Michael one weekend. I didn't tell my chiro and went back to see him as our usual schedule. As soon as my chiro looked at my back he was dumbfounded. I asked "what is it?" He said he'd never see anything like it before but my back had totally changed since I saw him. Then I told him I saw Michael. He said it would have taken him months to do what Michael did in one session and asked for his information so he could refer HIS patients!! Fast forward six years. I'm diagnosed with a compressed disk in my neck and having headaches literally every single day, and numbness in my hands. I went the traditional route and was going to PT twice a week. I went for over a month, they did exercises, dry needling, decompression, etc. Very little progress. Two visits with Michael and I'm headache and numbness free! He truly is amazing and a gift. We're so lucky to have him in our area.
