Overall, enjoyable experience. Sarah was very accommodating with my day/time request. She's also very mindful of pressure. I like it hard & she went to town I requested deep tissue, but really liked her incorporation of some Thai massage, which is stretching out the body a bit. The space reminds me of a massage school, with partitions separating spaces. Most folks are mindful of this and keep noise to a minimum. Did not affect my experience. I plan on returning for massages in the future. read more

Sarah is a great therapist. She truly helped me with my neck issue. I live real close and she is reallllly fast at replying so it was really nice to get in. I've seen her 2x and it was good both times. However I was going in for therapy and being able to relax. It was hard to do so with all the noise going on. I understand the partial walls- but the lobby radio music on top of Sarah's music on top of the bossman in the back making insurance phone calls was really frustrating. Also those disposable face covers are not comfortable. I know laundry is annoying- but there has to be some better way than those. Not comfty for your face to be on that. Life gets busy and being able to make a slot for some body work- I just wanted to be able to shut my brain off and get in that healing zone. read more

Sarah at U-Turn massage is awesome! This was my second time coming to her for tightness in my back and legs from work/ training. For a small woman her hands are super strong lol she's very accommodating and professional. Definately a repeat customer and I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a grade A massage experience read more

U-Turn Massage - U-Turn Massage ‍ - Reflexology Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

I had the best massage ever today, all thanks to Sarah! As an event planner, my shoulders suffer a lot - not only from the stress, but I'm also constantly typing at my desk and lifting heavy boxes. I always have a hard time finding an LMT that applies enough pressure to relieve my shoulder pain. After a long weekend at one of my events, I decided to treat myself to a massage. My usual guy is out of town so I found Sarah here on Yelp. She was so quick and accommodating as I texted her to make an appointment for the very next day for a combination massage of shiatsu and reflexology. Just a few minutes into the massage and I knew Sarah was the bomb. She was so attentive with her magic hands that she found all my problem areas without me even specifying. I never had to request for more pressure either. She just knows what she's doing! For pain relief, relaxation, and restoration, you have to see Sarah. I'm so satisfied with the experience, I admit that I'm already looking at my schedule for the next session. So happy to have found her! read more

Incredible Experience. Mahalo to Sarah. I began to experience some discomfort in the earlier am, THU morning (2am) without any signs of complications as to why? Still today, 3 days later don't know why or what I did. So I went to work on THU (6am), began to feel some pain and could not sit or stand for longer than 2 mins without feeling discomfort, nor could I walk for over 10 steps. At 8 am, with increasing discomfort thinking it was a muscle pull or strain, tried to hunt for a physical therapist. Most centers open at 10:00 am, I texted Sarah who responded relatively quickly. She could not get a 10am appt, but offered a 1215am spot, I grabbed it, Arriving, parking was tight, I parked about 50 yards away, which at this time the pain was getting worse. I had to stop 3 times in that short distance, just to get my breath and rest from the pain. Sarah got me on the table and began to massage..Very, very painful as she began to work the area, I was sweating, and was hurting bad. Because of the extreme pain, she turned me around and began stretching me in a few Thai contortionist stretching positions. Un-freaking-believable!! A few moments later, like a paradigm shift, pain vanished after a few moments. I could actually stand, stretch and knew something went right. Later I found it was my "Sciatica Nerve" due to my Piriformis muscle, (i.e. the muscle from your lower spine, running through your butt to your thigh / leg muscles). Later read that this can be a common event and a few pigeon pose exercises are common to help relieve, (google it). The effectiveness, the diagnosis in confirming it was a muscle and stretching was the answer and of course the willingness to fit me in, this visit was amazing. Believe me, the sciatic pain is not joke, scary to think what could be happening. Sarah is a true blessing with gifted talents. I have another quick stretching session today (SAT). Her contortionist stretches are way better than what I can do alone. God sent...for real. Mahalo Sarah! read more

Sarah is awesome! Walk in with the headache and body aches after I walk out from there I feel like a new person. I highly recommend her. Thank you Sarah. read more

Sarah was able to fit me in on such short notice. I signed up for the 90 minute session and I was able to combined the deep tissue along with the reflexology massage and it was the best combo ever! Along with a few stretches here and there during the massage, I walked out feeling so much more relaxed! read more

Sarah is pretty amazing! First off she's very accommodating on scheduling and sometimes same-day appointment is available. She responded quickly via text! The place is actually behind Goodwill by Kam highway, if you see Best Buy, turn into the little industrial area towards the back, it's fairly easy to find if you follow the GPS, after turning the last left, drive down the parking, it's on you're right side close to the end of the parking. Sarah does wonder, she spent time on finding out about my problematic area and I asked for Shiatsu massage, her pressure is modifiable if you let her know what you can tolerate. The pressure was unbearable at first but I thank her for doing so because after my massage, my entire spine cracked when I got up, soooo therapeutic! She offers stamp card, please let her know that you're interested. Overall I enjoyed my experience here, and no, she does not offer sexual massage lol. Thanks Sarah for a therapeutic session, I can't wait to see you next month! read more

Sarah is awesome and quick to reply. Messaged her after work to see if she was available and she was able to accommodate. When I arrived it already felt peaceful and she showed me to the room. I got ready and she worked her magic to help me relax and get rid of those knotted spots on my upper back. It was relaxing because no one else was there and she let me know what she was going to do next. I felt relaxed and a little bit revived after my massage. The hours are good too because not many places open till late. Thanks Sarah, keep up the good touch! read more

I often get massages about twice a month. And before I go to Sarah, I went to my chiropractor's massage therapist. But now I moved to Aiea and luckily I have found Sarah! I have gone to Sarah 3 times for massage. For me, my job requires long hours standing, lifting, moving around and I work out 3-4 times ,too. I need someone knows how to work on tight muscles, not just rubbing my skin. Sarah is great at her job. She went on vacation about 1 month ago , and I had this real bad back pain, I had to go somewhere else and turned out Sarah is always the best. I will not go to others to get massage anymore. Thank you Sarah ! read more

Great massage. Sarah really took her time and focused on the problem areas with varying pressure. My number one to go to for massage therapy. read more

If you're looking for a deep tissue massage (or probably any type of massage for that matter), give Sarah a shot. She was like a knot-finding machine! I'm definitely still tight, but better than when I first walked in. I see a follow-up visit in my near future. read more

Sarah was great!! I have a lot of disc derangements and pinched nerves and she was very careful and sensitive. My neck is the worst and she really worked it out. I feel so much better!! read more

Sarah accommodated me on the same day after a few easy text messages. We met and she asked what my issues were, and she had me get situated in the treatment room. The massage was 90 minutes of sports and Thai combo. Sarah was responsive to my requests for pressure changes. My neck and shoulders really feel released and knots are gone. I'm looking forward to seeing her again, and she even has a stamp card, which when filled earns me a 50% off reward! read more

I found Sarah in a haste as a knot in my back was killing me and I had scheduled a previous appointment at another clinic but there was a mix up on their end and I was desperate. I turned to Yelp and Sarah was one of the only places open past 6pm and she had great reviews so I decided to give it a shot. Called her and she was able to take me in for one hour. Complicating things more - I had shoulder surgery 3 months ago on my right shoulder. The knot killing me - on my left. When I arrived I explained everything to Sarah. She knew exactly where to work on both sides of my back with awesome pressure. She was also careful with my post surgery shoulder - I got a great massage and stretch - which I sorely needed as my shoulder is on its way to being "normal". My knot isn't magically gone, but it's a lot better than when I walked in - definitely manageable now. My surgery shoulder - showed an increased range of motion from when I walked in to post massage. Sarah also shared some stretches with me to help me out before leaving. :) The mix up at the other clinic was definitely a blessing in disguise. Will be back! read more

I suffer from tendinitis, carpel tunnel, and continuous shoulder pain from a car accident. I woke up feeling extremely sore and decided to get a massage. I yelped & found Sarah and read all of her fabulous reviews so I figured I couldn't go wrong. I called & was able to get in within 2 hours that day She was professional, courteous, & extremely helpful. I was sore for a couple of days after but she forewarned me that may happen. Great experience, I'll be a returning customer. read more

Sarah is amazing!!! She was so kind to take me the same day I called. Went in with a migraine and by the end of the day it was completely gone. As the days went on I felt better and better. I have never gotten results like this from anyone before. Will definitely be a regular customer of hers. You can tell she really cares and she knows her stuff. I will definitely be referring anyone in need of pain relief to her. Thank you Sarah!!! Nothing is worth more than living pain free! read more

Sarah was amazing! I have chronic back issues and came to her hoping for relief from my back pain and headaches. She listened to my issues and was able to individualize my massage so that my specific problem areas were addressed. Definitely recommend and will be coming back! read more

Sarah did a great job!..when she found tight areas she really worked on it not just going through the motions like some other therapists do...she is very strong also definitely will be back. read more

Sarah was great! This place isn't fancy but, the massage was worth the money. She definitely helped ease some built up tension in my back and neck. Thank you:) read more

Problem started in my left leg while attempting to train at home. Pulled muscles. Then I started training with coach Rachelle Moi @ the UFC Honolulu in power lifting ( squats, dead lifts, benching) left leg got really tight. I tried to roll out the area especially my IT band with no relief. Found Sarah on yelp with great reviews. Made an appointment 2/2218. First diagnosis and a little history what I do. Then onto the table face down. Sarah started doing her deep massage. Believe me that it was intense. The massage went from my my upper back down to my foot. After the massage I stood up slowly as instructed. There was still a sharp pain in the back of the knee. After laying back down and Sarah working in the hamstring area I stood again. The feeling was that my left leg was in alignment again. She instructed to drink a lot of water as a lot of lactic acid has been released and to take it easy for two days. Today 2/24/18 Saturday the leg is still aligned and is stronger. Sarah explained that the body can be only tight in certain areas which throw off the alignment in the joints. Her job is to find those imbalances to realigned your body. Plan on visiting Sarah on a normal basis to keep my body aligned!!!! Sarah you are incredible!!! read more

I saw the 5 star ratings and the $50/hr Swedish massage special so I decided to give this place a try. I should've thought twice when Sarah tried to upsell me to a deep tissue massage for $60/hr if I wanted more pressure even BEFORE we went into the room. Don't get me wrong, she's nice and accommodating, but unless you prefer light pressure, this special may not be for you. She asks about the pressure during the treatment and when you ask for more, it's another opportunity to upsell you. Try about 4 times total. I've had Swedish massages before and I've always left relaxed and feeling like I melted. In this case, I cut my 90 min treatment to 60 min (mid-massage) and left with the same aches and an oily body. Next time I'll wait for a spot to open with Makamae at Holistic Therapies or anyone at Nisei. And yes.. I still tipped her cause she was nice. read more

Sarah was extremely pleasant and gives an unbelievable massage! I highly recommend the Thai combination massage. It's my favorite by far! You won't be disappointed. ~LaToya~ read more

Went to Sarah to work on tightness in my upper back, shoulder, and arm caused primarily from a pinched nerve. Sarah was very responsive in responding to text messages and was able to see me the same day. I asked for a very specific massage, but she went one step further, really trying to understand what I wanted to accomplish. Her recommendation was spot on and I couldn't be more pleased. I will return for more treatments. read more

Sarah was great! She specializes in therapeutic and deep tissue massage, which ease my shoulder, back, and knee pain drastically. I have had my share of massage therapists, but none of them can compare to Sarah. She is attentive, knowledgeable and knows what she is doing. Highly recommended! read more

I decided to check this place out because it was close to my house and it was very reasonably priced ($49/70 minutes). I didn't know what to expect, however, when she started working on me....oh my!!! She was fantastic! I recommended her to few of my friends and they all love her work! A must try!!! One thing I don't like so much...paying for parking. However, for the price I pay for the massage, I can overlook it. read more

Sarah was so wonderful! I have a lot of discomfort and tension in my back and neck from breaking my collarbone a few years ago. She very carefully and thoroughly massaged and broke up my scar tissue. I'm feeling noticably less tension and more circulation. She's also incredibly friendly, kind, and lovely to talk to. Very reasonable rates. Go see her!! read more

Sarah was great! I had neck pain for the past few days and finally gave in and scheduled a massage (for the first time in years). I haven't enjoyed professional massages in the past. She asked what brought me in and I explained about my neck. She got right to work on it, doing my whole back, while putting the extra attention on my painful areas. I felt so much better at the of the hour! I will be scheduling another massage with her! read more

With a lot of tension built up and a lot of stress knots giving me pain and problems for a long time now, I finally decided it was time to do something about it. Found Sarah on Yelp and her reviews looked great. I know for my knots, I need strong, deep pressure and I finally settled on Sarah. Called and made my appointment same day after work quick and easy. I got to her location and headed into the Aiea Medical building. The massage studio is nicely set up. Very clean and quiet. Sarah showed me to the room and I got ready for the massage, not quite knowing what to expect. Sarah is a petite girl and had some doubts whether she would be able to get enough pressure to work my knots and stiffness out. Boy was I happily surprised. Soft hands, but when she asked if the pressure was ok and I told her I wanted deep and very strong pressure, she really got into it and worked every knot. After the kneading, walking, stretching and massaging, I felt all my muscles open up and I can't remember the last time I felt this loose. The next day, my muscles ached a bit from the work out, but I'm less stiff and don't have the knotted up feeling. It's been a long time since I've had a massage and I'm glad I found Sarah on my first try. Because I've been so tense for so long, it's going to take a few more sessions to really loosen all the knots, and that means more sessions with Sarah in the near future!! read more

Called on Saturday and managed to get an appointment for my bf for Sunday that fit in our busy schedule. He has problems with discs in his neck and some pinched nerves, and she was able to take the pain away for awhile. She is strong and her technique is good and intuitive. Will definitely be going back! read more

I was feeling very knotted up in my neck and shoulders and decided to schedule a two hour appointment with Sarah. She is conveniently located in the Aiea Medical Building, on the first floor with ample parking on two levels. She offers great rates, and is able to accommodate varying styles and schedules. Although she has a small frame, Sarah is extremely capable of exerting a lot of pressure and her knowledge of muscle and skeletal structure makes her a great therapist. She is very courteous and professional and always inquires about the room temperature, amount of pressure, or sound level. During her massage, I can actually hear and feel the knots melting away. Due to an old sports injury, my range of motion and flexibility in one limb has reduced, but over the last four visits, Sarah has been able to eliminate my pain and significantly increase my mobility. Sarah provides a very clean, relaxing, and comfortable environment, and her overall service is great. I cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

I came in feeling tight and tired from working all day on my feet. Sarah asked me if there were any spots I had trouble with. She really worked those areas well. This was a very professional massage. The place is a little tucked away but she talked me over on the phone, no problem. I was sad when it was over. I will be back. Would recommend. read more

I got the Thai style massage yesterday and Sarah did an awesome job. She got all my aches and knots out from my back, shoulders and neck. Thai massage is very similar to Japanese shiatsu with lots of stretching at the end of the session. A day after the massage I felt a little bit bruise but it was definitely worth another session back. I would give 5 stars but the a/c shut off if you go later in the day. It not a spa, it's a place you go if you want the real thing!! read more

Great experience. I was in pain and luckily I was able to book an appointment with Sarah! She is professional and courteous. The ambiance is relaxing and she is in the same office as other massage therapists that I have been to, so a familiar place. I like how she uses text for communication, so much easier than calling. She uses good pressure and I had pain turning my head to the left and right and she was able to resolve it. I felt like a new man when the massage was done. Thanks Sarah, I'll be back for sure! read more

Within the first ten minutes of the massage I felt immediate relief. Sarah was so nice and accommodating and got me in on short notice. I've had back pain for years after getting hit by a truck as a pedestrian and she focused on the areas that really needed the most care. I'll definitely be back. read more

Sarah is amazing!!! I couldn't move my arm this morning and it was numb. Called Sarah and she was able to fit me in. After the massage I am able to move and use my arm. She is also very professional and great personality read more

Sarah was great. I had a few areas very sensitive to pain so she made sure to apply pressure gradually and ask me along the way. Not a spa atmosphere, but I'm going there to ease all the tension from my muscles and joints. And that's what Sarah did! read more

I needed a last minute massage that same day and Sarah was available. I have headaches and I needed to loosen my neck,traps and back ASAP. I got a 9pm massage and she did a awesome job. Told her my problem areas and she sure did get to the right areas. Felt so much better after. Go check her out. read more

I've been to many massage clinics but Sarah has great knowledge and expertise in finding the problem areas and can make you feel great after just a few sessions. Very reasonably priced and great dollar value...I recommend her by far, very easy going:) read more

Arrived to Oahu with an aching back and in serious need of work. Not being familiar with local massage businesses I did my research on Yelp and found Sarah. Sent her a text and she promptly responded and was able to set up the appointment within a couple hours. Upon arrival I was greeted and taken to room 1 where Sarah proceeded to work all the pain from my back. I enjoyed her kind personality and felt very comfortable working with her. All in all, I would say that it was the best massage I've ever received and would not hesitate to return again. Thank you Sarah for making me feel new again! read more
