I used to get massages on a regular basis but fell off the massage wagon. A friend of mine highlighted that she has gotten massages once a month for the last 14 years. I was definitely behind the 8 ball on massages. My friend's long-term revelation was eye-opening, so I decided to get a massage today with Green Care Massage, which is located on W. Parmer, next door to Tomo Sushi. My massage choice was a deep tissue massage. Those polls are not for curtains!!! When my massage therapist asked me could she work on my back, I thought, I said yes. What she actually said was can I "walk" on your back. In my head, I was thinking why do her hands feel like feet...because they were feet! Snappity, snap, snap...I was getting a full on Ashiatsu massage (also known as back walking massage or barefoot massage). If you are not aware, Ashiatusu is a technique where the massage therapist uses their feet to apply deep pressure while holding onto overhead bars for balance and control. The word "Ashiatsu" is a Japanese word meaning (ashi=foot and atsu= pressure.) Apparently, my back was so tight I needed Ashiatsu first. My massage beginning to end was incredibly effective and rejuvenating experience. From the moment the session began, it was clear the massage therapist was highly skilled and knew her craft. The deep, slow strokes and focused techniques worked through my knots and tight muscles, especially in my back and legs. While there were moments of intensity that you would expect with deep tissue work, it was never painful (pressure...no pain). Afterward my body felt like it had exhaled and breathing fresh air.... well worth the time and money. I could feel the tension evaporating with each targeted movement. It is important note, I felt soreness in my neck and back during the massage that I did know existed previously. After the massage session, I noticed a significant improvement in my mobility and range of motion. My usual stiffness had disappeared. I do not know if I will get a massage once a month, but I certainly will not wait too long before another one.

So, first I must say I appreciate that they try and accommodate walk-ins. I needed a massage and…read moremy regular provider was a bit far away, I did not want to drive - so stopped in here. My regular massage is $60 an hour- as are most asian massage places - so figured it would be the same or close to it. Well, I should have checked- as once done - and they had my credit card ( no price list was visable ) - I was told that it was $80 with a credit card surcharge of a buck or 2. I am like " OK...I did not know this" but agreed...fine, right?. Then she turns to me about my tip. Let me say - I am very generous and always leave a 40 or 50 dollar tip for an hour as the massages are relatively cheap for what you get - and they work hard; if it is good it is worth it its how I feel. I was informed that my $40 was not adequate...Umm ..this is a TIP people !!....so at this point I knew I was getting "rolled" - haha - Honesty, I just wanted to leave and not be rifled anymore. So I gave in for another $20 and left. This is sad because they were friendly enough on entry - and the massage was very good. The massause was talented and I would definitely recommend the service. However, I am just not happy about the business practices. I will continue to see my regular lady- even though this place is closer to home. I would have been a long time customer as I am pretty loyal, but not to be.

Never again. First off, the massage itself was pretty good…read more The masseuse had strong hands and appeared to be pretty well trained. What I didn't enjoy, was the constant interruptions. Two phone calls, which she happily took, and five visits to the front door as other people arrived. Obviously very understaffed. Also, this place should've spent a little bit of money on soundproofing. I could hear all sorts of jibber, jabber conversations, which was very offputting. My massage started at 11:15 and even though I paid for an hour, with five interruptions plus the two phone calls. I was out the door by 12:35. That's not an hour. Save your money, find a better place. I know I'm going to.

It had actually been almost 5 years since I had last seen her and after a recent apartment move, I needed her services for my aching body! It was like visiting an old friend and I remembered just how awesome of a person she is and that I should not have let so much time go by without visiting her. A mistake I will try to not repeat even though I have to leave Austin temporarily. She is able to provide the most gentle touch, as well as deep therapeutic pressure for those stubborn knots that don't work with anything else. I have always felt that her skills make me feel relaxed even though I need her stronger touch throughout the session at some points. Her massage room is super cozy and will help you feel completely at ease. Oh, and one final note for those that are more self conscious or don't like to bare all of their goodies! Susanna let's you undress to your level of comfort and always provides a blanket to keep you covered regardless of how bare you go! Don't worry about leaving all oily either. She uses only the best and always wipes any excess allowing anyone to leave like a smooth zombie needing a ride home or at least a few minutes in the parking lot to gather the senses! Try her out. You can thank me later!

Her office is in a nice business park and she keeps everything impeccablly clean and welcoming. She is generous with her time. She let's you set the pace with talking, if ya wanna, but always lets me fall into glorious moments of meditative, peaceful silence. Basically she's very friendly but a consummate professional that can read her customers cues very well. Though she is trained and highly experienced, Susanna seems to often take continuing education courses to increase her knowledge or add another specialty - I really appreciate that! Look into her monthly membership to get the best deal. Try out the hot stone treatment, just did my first one recently and it was neat and really kept me focused on being grounded in my body and that moment because the hot stones kept being introduced to new areas as she progressed with the massage. I just can't say enough about Susanna, she's a salt of the earth type person and highly skilled at her craft!

The woman there was rude at the start demanding an explanation for everything who my mother was to me (the buyer of the gift card) and who my fiancé was to my mother. She also demanded a tip after the massage and my mom doesn't speak very much English. So she just kept getting frustrated with my mom and kept repeating she wanted a tip until my fiancé came out of the restroom and the employee repeated herself. Had she asked kindly if they would've liked to tip or had even asked me beforehand when I purchased if I would like to leave a complimentary tip I would've done it no questions asked. I didn't know my mom would be harassed like that. I bought it with the intention of it being a GIFT. Meaning she's going to go get the service as a GIFT, and not have to worry about anything. My fiancé still left a 10$ dollar tip because she was flustered and also just didn't know how much I had already spent on the service. Sad to say my mom liked the service that was given to her but we're never coming back. You could've had new repeating customers had you been kinder.
