Movement Restoration

Love this place! I originally discovered Movement Restoration through Groupon, and I’m so happy I did. I’ve now visited on a few occasions and have seen both Trisha and Shawn. Both have given me a great massage; I leave feeling like a new woman! I love their approach to massage — more of a health approach than a luxury one, which is perfect for anyone experiencing body trouble due to sports injuries, or in my case: sitting too much at a desk job. Overall, I can’t say enough nice things about Movement Restoration and look forward to my next deep tissue massage!

First off, I love love love this place!
Everything I do is physically taxing… I run, teach dance, coach and I’m always moving! My body unfortunately does not recover fast enough as I’m driving from one place to the next luckily this place is here to help my muscles get ready for the next challenge!
Trish and Brynn are amazing and know exactly what I need… They are there to make sure I’m getting what is best for my lifestyle and I am so thankful!

Great! I purchased a Groupon for this Best of Phoenix winner and everything went smoothly. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and asked to fill out some paperwork. I pulled up the voucher on my phone and they redeemed it easily. The place is clean and smells good. Brigid gave me my massage and she did a wonderful job. The room itself was quiet, scented and comfortable with dimmed lights. She gave me some good tips on how to relieve some of the tension I have in my shoulders and neck, which I will be sure to use. I think my favorite part was the foot rub, and she used oils which made it that much better.

Great place to get a massage, easy to book an appointment, consistently friendly service and something I look forward to each month!

I started seeing Marjie at Movement Restoration for trigger point massage more than a year ago. I never knew that my headaches could be treated without the use of medicine. Marjie is intuitive and she is constantly bringing new methods of massage, stretching, and other holistic treatments to me to help with my shoulder, neck, back, and overall aches and pains. Before I met Marjie, I assumed I was going to live with headaches and neck and shoulder pain for life. Now, I look forward to seeing her every few weeks to keep me healthy and happy!

Can’t help but to adore the staff and the new location! I usually drop in to utilize the awesome Normatec boots after a killer leg work out, but I went for my first deep tissue this time.
I’d like to express how impressed I am with Trisha ’ s knowledge in the field, and how comfortable she made me feel during the massage session. I have officially found a place I can count on and trust for rehabilitation and restoration.

I’m not even going to attempt to write a full review, because I could probably go on for about a year about how much I love Movement Restoration :) Marjie, I don’t think I could live without you! Thank you for all you do!

Got to be the worst customer service ever. Bought Groupon a year ago in the only way to schedule was by email at that time. And weekends were impossible to get. Finally saw that their website has reservations available. I need a custom one built for the Groupon money we have. I tried calling three times and left voicemails and I still haven’t heard a response in a week. Pretty sad service, hopefully the massages r good.

I have been here now 4 times and have had some of the best massages of my life. I’ve seen both Trisha and Lily for deep tissue massage and they are both great. Their understanding of human movement, and the stress of life’s daily occurrences on your body is some of the most thorough I’ve experienced. I typically get massage to alleviate stress and tension in my neck, upper back and shoulders that comes with a desk/​computer job. Then I ended up being part of a car accident and having whiplash injuries that gave me a whole new set of issues and exacerbated my existing ones. Luckily I had massages scheduled, so it became like one of my therapies. Lily got me moving and really instigated healing in some very sore muscles. I didn’t even know I was sore in a few spots until she started working on them… I have had dozens of massages and this was not only relaxing, but more therapeutic than I had experienced at some other spas.
It should be mentioned there are also some awesome pampering touches with your massage… Eucalyptus scented covers on the face pillow = AmaZinG! A nice rub on your feet and then a moist towel to wipe off any excess oil/​lotion before you get up. You also get a warm towel under your neck once you roll over onto your back.
I can’t say enough good things. They are friendly, welcoming, understanding, knowledgeable and have an all-​around really good vibe about them. The location is very easy to get to and the hours are accommodating, including weekends and evenings.

I have received several massages from Trisha over the years and have always been completely satisfied! There have been 2 locations that I am aware of and the new location is easy to access and very inviting! The perfect environment for relaxation.
I am always greeted right away and then taken into my massage room where there is music playing and it smells delicious. Trisha always asks what is bothering me and makes sure to pay attention to those key areas throughout the massage. Unfortunately, the end of the massage always comes to soon!
Whether you have received several massages and are comfortable with them, or are looking to get your first one this is the place to go! It is comfortable, relaxing, and cozy. Best little gem in the valley!

A jewel. Truly. Trisha is an amazing massage therapist. I have been going to her for therapeutic massages for over a year now and I have been continuously impressed by the quality of my experience. Her understanding of the body and her evident skill at massage is coupled with a professional and yet friendly demeanor that puts you immediately at ease.

I had one of the truly finest therapeutic massages ever by Trish at Movement Restoration. I’ve been getting massages for back pain for nearly 30 years and can count on one hand the number of therapists with the skill level of Trish. While I hesitate to praise her so highly in a public forum for fear of having difficulty getting appointments in the future, I would surely be remiss not to acknowledge her expertise and skill or to not encourage others suffering from physical pain to seek her out. She is a seriously gifted massage therapist with the overall goal of helping her clients achieve pain reduction and improved overall health and functioning.

I originally went to Movement Restoration for the first time with a Groupon deal. I had the reflexology with Trisha last year (2012) and it was wonderful!
So much so that I went back again yesterday (2÷21÷13). This time I had reflexology with Justin. He was friendly, respectful, and I could tell he really love his job. His passion for what he does shows through and consequently, I had one of the best reflexology treatments I’ve ever experienced. This is saying a lot since I have been getting reflexology treatments for years!
I was very impressed with his knowledge of the foot areas and the body connections associated with them.
I highly recommend Movement Restoration. I can’t wait to go back again soon!

I was very happy with my experience at Movement Restoration. If you are an athlete and seeking deep tissue work, this is the place to be. Some of their clients are professional and olympic athletes. I will be back very soon!

Trisha is *awesome*

Just went to Movement Restoration again yesterday– Trisha is amazing! The massage was relaxing, but also relieved the stress and kinks in my lower back.
I would reccomend Movement Restoration to anyone! Great massages and very zen like atmosphere.

I’m so disappointed. Based on the reviews from other Unilocalers, I called MR on monday and left a message. I’m dealing with some bad back pain right now. When a business asks you to leave a message, I expect that the business will at least bother to get back to you. It’s kinda Customer Service 101. So, tomorrow is my last possible day to get a massage and never heard back after two phone calls. Maybe this is why Unilocal is offering a special deal for MR? Unfortunately, not returning phone calls is not the best way to attract clients…

I had purchased a Groupon forever ago and finally decided to use it. I chose to upgrade to a 90-​minute massage with Trisha, she was fabulous.
There is always that awkward «get to know you» thing that happens with a new client and a massage therapist, like the talking vs quiet or how much pressure to use. Trisha was the perfect mix of all of it!
I left feeling relaxed and was able to leave a few less knots in my shoulders. I will definitely be back and can’t recommend her enough. I have been in Phoenix for 5 years now and she is the best I have found in the area. You won’t be disappointed in your experience!

I had my first massage with Trisha today thanks to a Groupon and will definitely be coming back. I’ll usually go to a Massage Envy when I’ll be in some pain or just in need of relaxation but Trisha did a great job after my last visit at ME was extremely disappointing.
I don’t know if the reviewer M. M was getting his/​her massage at the same time as me but I was in a very talkative mood… which trust me I usually dislike, but Trisha and I had some things in common and I was still fully able to relax and feel amazingly better after my hour was up. Perfect pressure, nice relaxed atmosphere and though I’d take Trisha again in a heart beat I’d be willing to try one of the other therapists as well.

sometimes i like to just get a massage. i don’t need my knots worked or my muscles tweaked. i just want an hour of no talking, quiet music, and relaxation.
had my first appt with movement restoration yesterday and left feeling like i was floating on cloud 9. usually, i’m ‘relaxed’ after a massaged, but my endorphins are pumping because the therapist has dug her elbow into one of my many tight muscles, leaving me sore (in a good way), but i can still go home afterwards and finish building the deck/​doghouse/​pool or any number of physical activities.
i left today feeling like jello. i came home and my gal takes one look at me and says «Good massage huh?» plopped my ass on the couch and watched tv until bedtime.
great experience and already made another appointment. i’m sure she’ll knead and poke and prod if you want, but sometimes… it’s nice just to relax.
