I first contacted "The Massage Dude" on 8/12 through yelp to request an appointment and inform him of my issues. He gave me some information and I set the appointment up for this week, 8/19 at 4pm. We went back and forth about his availability. And I understood he was very busy because he has GREAT reviews so duh, why wouldn't he be booked up. Fast forward to a day or two after I scheduled the appointment. He sends me a text messages stating that he has to push my appointment back to "7-8". I informed him I could not do it that late and asked if he had any other availability. I got no response. A day later I texted him and asked the same question. He apologized for the delay and said he was moving things around to fit me in. Fine, I let him be for the weekend. Hoping to hear back so I can plan my week around this massage that I seriously need! And unfortunately still nothing. So, I reached out to him one last time, via text, to inquire about his availability. I can see that he has read my text. But has still failed to respond. At the very least, it would have been nice to get some type of response letting me know he was not able to fit me in. Not just straight up ignoring me. Now, for me and whomever else still cares about customer service, you have lost a potential client. We are all busy. But as a business owner, it is your responsibility to communicate effectively. Especially if you are in the business of "healing". You wasted my time, and now I have to search for another option for pain relief!

I would have saved SO much money, time and agony if i would have. I had a 90 min session for upper body and then another 90 min session for the lower body ** e v e r y t h i n g is c o n n e c t e d** i have SO much pain relief from my extremely tight muscles from working at a desk for massive amounts of hours. I have also been having issues with my tight muscles pulling my rib out of place over and over - and i expressed that i went to the chiropractor and he still couldnt seem to get this rib, so he took a try at pushing on it and he popped it right back into place for me so that was greatly appreciated!! i wish i hadnt just moved away so i could continue to see Fred, but just in those two sessions i had some serious relief!! He also sent me a playlist of youtube videos on correcting my posture. He truly wants you better ASAP! Great friendly communicator also! ps: be prepared for pain! but this is the type of pain that leads to deep healing!

She will massage on one spot like my calf or my arm for a few minutes like barely putting pressure and the rest of 1hr and 15 minutes felt the same . Not sure if she was falling asleep or on her phone or something. I also had to put my own shirt on the whole where you put your face on to avoid the bad foul odor as if the sheet hasn't been changed for a while. Never coming back on this place.

I've been twice now- This time I picked a 60 minute massage for $60 that had oil and mentioned good for sports injuries or something. I'm trying to lose weight, but I should have done it when I was younger and had no problems. Now I've had a disc removed and my back carries all my anger and stress. This is the answer to all of that and also, just going to say it- It feels like love I just decided that I'm going to make it an every payday treat because I deserve it (and I'm spending less money and food & alcohol anyway!) I highly recommend visiting and seeing for yourself how satisfying a good massage can be!!!!!
