Massage Addict – Spring Garden

This is the only place I go for a massage. Not only is it conveniently located, but they go out of their way to deliver top-​notch service to their customers.
My first visit was several years ago — the first initial visit at a reduced rate was something I just couldn’t pass up. From what I remember, the massage was good but since I was underemployed and didn’t have coverage under my health plan, I didn’t return… until two years ago. I broke a bone in my elbow which caused secondary issues with my neck that I’ve been managing for some time now which can be helped with massage therapy. My first, and only thought really, was Massage Addict. Since I had such a great experience that first time, I returned and never looked back.
I’d consider myself a semi-​regular. There are times when I go once a month, times when I only go every three — depending on my schedule and pain levels but I always feel very welcomed and at home every time I go, regardless of the frequency.
During my last visit, I actually signed up for the membership — to make the most of my health plan offerings. If you’re an avid massage-​goer, it’s really the best way to go. If you don’t have a membership, have no fear! — the prices are still reasonable.

You could not expect a more central location. What really impressed me is this company’s public relations. I had been a customer for some time now on and off but always with the same therapist. I enjoy her style as she does a very deep and pressure type of treatment which was always helpful to my back condition. I went online to try to book an apt with her and oh no she was gone? I e-​mailed the company asking where did she go? I received a response the next day from the owner of the company. This is so impressive on many levels to me because owners of business I have dealt with in the past and worked for always delegate phones and e-​mails to somebody else and this business has a few locations to take care of. The owner advised me where she went to work and offered me a special offer to stay with her business. I don’t know what else I can say 5 stars all around.

I read many good reviews on this place and decided to try it, however I had a horrible first-​time experience:
1) I had told the massage therapist to work on my back, shoulders and neck. When working on my back in the beginning, she was chaffing my skin so hard (no lotion or oils) that it was hurting
2) Working on my lower back, she kept repeatedly grinding over my pelvic bones? (the bone right above your bum) that it was hurting a lot (and not in a good way). I have been to quite a few massages over the years and I’ve never had a massage therapist do that.
3) When working on my neck, I told her all the tension was in the back of my neck and base of my skull but for the large portion of that part, she kept rubbing firmly over the front of my throat making me want to gag constantly… I’ve also never had an RMT do that as well and it made me really uncomfortable.
4) After turning me face up for the neck portion of the massage, she wrapped a small towel above the upper half of my head (to keep the hair out I’m assuming) but when working on my neck, her hands kept pulling at the towel which in turn, would make it ride upwards. At one point it was uncomfortably peeling my eyelids back because her hands (or arms) kept pulling at the towel and it eventually came off anyways.
5) The room has a duct or really thin walls because all I could hear the whole hour were two ladies loudly chatting and laughing in the room next to us. So much for the quiet soft ambiance you’re supposed to have during a relaxing massage
I’m sure there are very good and competent massage therapists out of the 15 – 20 that work there and I just had a stroke of bad luck. I would recommend asking someone who gave this place a good review to refer the name of their RMT to you so that you can give this place a fair try, but I won’t be coming back after my time here.

The only place I go to for massages anymore. I love the downtown location and the hours are really convenient. Atmosphere is clean, calm and welcoming. All of the staff have been amazing. Make sure you book in with someone who specializes in what you need done and you’ll leave in great shape. Can’t wait for my next appointment.

This is the only massage place I have tried since I moved to the city but there’s really no reason to try anywhere else. I was overly impressed with my massage today. I’ve gotten a lot of massages and I have never had a female therapist before because i like deeeeep tissue and figure men press harder but this girl targeted muscles better and worked deeper than most.
A+ to the whole ordeal.

I was in for my first visit at this location today. I’ve been to the location on Lacewood so had an idea of what to expect.
I swear I just had the best massage of my life! That being said I’m not someone who goes frequently or is snobby about my massages. However, this was pretty top notch. So much so I signed up for the membership deal. Yup, I am now going for monthly massages! Really, $ 59/​hr, once a month is more than doable.
Now, because I highly enjoyed it I am not going to tell you who my therapist was. Why? Because I heart her and don’t want everyone rushing and snatching up all her appointments! haha… She was fantastic! She asked questions other therapists had never asked. She worked on muscles that others hadn’t in the past. She was super easy to talk to, was perfectly willing to customize my treatment to my preferences and was more than happy to explain what she was doing and why and how it would benefit me. She even spent a few minutes after the appointment to discuss things I could do between now and my next appointment to help my trouble spots… again, something no one else had ever done before.
I’m pretty pleased with my first visit! Even if I hadn’t gotten the membership I would definitely go back!

I’ve been a member at the $ 59/​hr price point for over six months now and although I don’t really need monthly treatments it has benefited chronic problems. I’ve seen a couple therapists with Joanna being my regular. She and all the staff are top of the line professional, like any other downtown spa. The space is lovely with many treatment rooms, all modern and stylishly decorated.

Incredible and the right price. Lover this place.

Intro offer: $ 39 for a 1 hour massage? Unheard of— what’s the catch? Well folks, after dabbling in a new endeavor, I can report rave reviews and a promotional effort to jump on.
Yes, there is a little bit more to the story– clients must commit to a massage a month at $ 49, but with such a great rate, those who do this sort of thing often can revel in the cash savings.
The most important factor here— Massage Addict provides a quality spa experience is up to par. Professional, apt expertise and easy atmosphere to slip into a fine state are all provided. Bookings are easy, online accessible and this seems like a well run method of massage. A different approach to the spa scene, I’d say sign me up.

I was initially unsure of the quality of massage I would receive for the low intro price of $ 39 but I was so impressed I’ve been back at least twice a month since !
The only commitment you have to make is to come at least once a month for a massage for just $ 49…You can share your membership with other members of your family living at the same address AND you can buy gift certificates for friends at your membership rate too which is a GREAT gift idea !!
The décor is modern/​asian and well executed. The massage rooms are tasteful and the tables are big enough to accomodate every body size. I love Massage Addict because I can go online and check the available appointment times whenever I feel like I need a massage and often book something for the same day ! So convenient… :-)

I was super impressed to see that an introductory hour of massage at the new Martello Street location will run you a mere $ 39 at Massage Addict! Less tax and tip but still!
Essentially, you pay a monthly membership fee which is the cost of one massage. After that you pay the same ‘low’ (so the website says) rate for all subsequent massages that month. As an added bonus, family members are able to use your massage membership rate as well!
$ 39 is enough to get me in but i’ll let you know how my first massage addict appointment goes!
