Lynn Carnaroli

Love this place. Beautiful and serene. Great therapists! Both Crissy and Nika are wonderful

Brandi Plante

Nika is truely amazing. She understands my needs and gives me helpful hints to prevent pain in my back and feet. I felt like a completely different person when my massage was over. Thanks again!

Alex Potashinsky

Superior massage with Niko. She does a great firm massage and found so many knots on my back and legs. I feel like a million bucks! At $70 for an hour, a very reasonable rate. Would definitely come back.

Amy Ashinghurst

Very professional staff and lovely office. Getting a therapeutic massage is great for my tight neck, but it also relaxes me and helps with stress relief. It can sometimes be difficult to set aside time for myself, but when I leave Alternatives 4 Health I'm always glad that I did

Nika was very professional and polite, made me feel comfortable and focused on areas that I said were causing me the most discomfort. I will be coming back every 2 weeks and I would recommend her or any of the massage therapists to anyone who needs a quality massage!

After being in car accident I started coming to Alternatives 4 Health. They have been so caring in helping in my recovery. The environment is comfortable and relaxing. I would highly recommend Alternatives 4 Health for anyone looking to receive exceptional massage therapy services.

I had never had a massage and wasn't sure what to expect, but I was convinced by a friend with neck/spine issues similar to my own, that the best way to fix my vertebrae was to do massage in conjunction with the chiropractic care that i was receiving. I contacted Alternatives 4 Health and inquired about deep tissue massage. They had just hired "Chrissy" and I started with a 30 minute session. I was immediately impressed and signed up for a package of 12 one-hour sessions. I have been through 5 sessions to-date and I have never felt better - Chrissy is phenomenal. In fact, I am convinced beyond any doubt that the massages are accelerating the correction of my neck and spine problems, which have been many years in the making. It is critical to a spinal adjustment and correction that the muscles surrounding and protecting the vertebrae be reshaped to properly support and enhance the adjustment. I have told family and friends that they have to experience a massage from Chrissy, if for nothing else than to feel good and put their skeleton back in shape. My promise to them is that if they don't feel 100% better after that massage, i will pay for it.

A wonderful, easy, close to spa experience. The therapists are friendly and interested in giving you the best massage for your needs. I’d also try a facial at Glo! You won’t be disappointed... Tae is the best!

I wish I could give them 10 stars! I have been with them since 2012 when I started having some back issues. Lauren has been amazing! She has so helpful with my back, feet, shoulders...no matter the issue she always knows how to help. She is super helpful, friendly, and knowledgable. The atmosphere is so calm and relaxing. I have fallen asleep more times than I really care to admit. I look forward to every massage!

I have been going to Alternatives 4 Health for a few years now and it is so beneficial to my overall well being. All the therapists are very professional, knowledgeable and do a fantastic job. I have been to see all 3 (Lucy, Lauren and Krista) but primarily I see Krista. Each have their own style/method but all 3 are amazing at their craft. Krista is fantastic and does such a great job getting me right again. Depending on the day and what is ailing me she tailors her massage to my needs and gives my muscles, tendons and ligaments the attention they need to get my body feeling better again. I would highly recommend Alternatives 4 Health to anyone and everyone!

lauren

The massage therapist really listened to my concerns and was able to adjust the massage accordingly. Very calming and relaxing environment. Definitely recommend!

Lisa C.

I had a deep tissue massage with Johanna. She was wonderful and attentive every step of the way! She addressed my concerns before beginning the massage and made sure to check in with me during the massage as well. At the end, she shared several stretches I could do to help my particular trouble areas. The office is clean and has a very relaxed atmosphere. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Bob Landfear

I have been experiencing the benefits of Alternatives 4 Health for the last several years. The various massage therapists that have provided therapy to me have been extremely professional and focused on my health issues and well being. I would definitely recommend Alternatives 4 Health to anyone looking to improve their personal health through massage therapy,

Ruth Lehrach

Loucil Pichay has been my massage therapist over a period of time. Her soft spoken ways coupled with her firm hands has provided much relief of my neck, shoulder and lower back issues. She listens to my concerns and provides a very relaxing environment to apply her skills even to the point of tailoring the background music to my taste. Requests for appointments are responded to quickly and the environment is very friendly. I highly recommend this facility and staff.

Jon Barton

Went in for my first massage a week ago with Krista. The massage was completely relaxing and my back felt fantastic after I left. I would highly recommend Alternatives 4 Health and have already made my next appointment!

Eileen Lastrina

Always fit me in when it's convenient for me. Clean relaxing space with knowledgeable therapists

Theresa Marie

It was very easy to make an appointment on short notice. Lucy was absolutely wonderful! It was my first time ever getting a professional massage and I had a great experience. I have chronic back, neck, and arm pain which I have tried to treat with numerous therapies. I feel like massage therapy will be very beneficial for me!

Patrick DeFrancesco

I pulled muscles in my hip and leg, in a very difficult exercise bootcamp on New Year's Day. I contacted Alternatives 4 Health and left a message to see if I could get a massage. Within 10 minutes Lauren one of the massage therapists called me back and said she could be there in 20 minutes. I was amazed with her willingness to accommodate me. I met her at the facility and received a thorough, professional and highly skilled massage. In my opinion, the service and quality are the highest in the area. This is why, I never hesitate a second in referring my patients to Alternatives 4 Health. Thank you again.

Heather Lavoie

NIKA IS THE BEST! Best massage I’ve ever received. I definitely recommend

Becca Jaroszewski

One of the best massages I have ever gotten. They specifically zoned in on a troublesome area and helped relieve a lot of pain. Post massage, they told me some tips to help keep my muscles loose and recommended other options to continue improving my health (which were awesome)! I highly recommend getting a massage here!

Ken Aubin

for the past year i have made massage therapy a regular part of my . monthly health and wellness. i look forward to my visits with either Nika or Chrissy who are both great at what they do.

Keith Bopp

An amazing experience. I was greeted warmly, and felt at home the moment I arrived. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Chrissy was absolutely amazing. A true professional with a warm and welcoming personality. After not having had a massage in quite some time, she quickly set me at ease. I have always been a talker during massages, however I truly felt a sense of relaxation, rendering me...well...speechless. I am so happy that I met Chrissy and found Alternatives 4 health. I cannot wait for my next appointment!

Brenda Bertolini

I have been going to Chrissy for the last several months after becoming a new mom. She is AMAZING! Between toting the car seat, holding the baby, feedings- it all takes a huge toll on a mom’s neck, hips and back. I’ve seen Dr. D for a few years and finally decided I needed to take this whole “self care” thing seriously. Otherwise, I feel terrible and that’s not helpful in taking care of my baby. I’ve had massages at a dozen or so places around Hartford, West Hartford and locally here in Glastonbury. AFH is clean, calming and a welcoming, quiet place for a massage. Chrissy is phenomenal- she’s great at reading where I need the most treatment, uses the perfect amount of pressure, has a warm and calming personality- I cannot recommend her enough. You will not be disappointed!

Carrie Romanski

Absolutely fantastic place. Right above my chiropractor, so extremely convenient to have my massage right before/after my adjustment. Flexible with scheduling and very relaxing environment. I have been going to Lauren for over 3 years and she is a wonderful person and massage therapist. I have trouble with tension in my neck, shoulders, and jaw and she knows the type of massage technique needed to relieve the pain that sometimes comes with the tension.

Dawn Valentini

Nika was fabulous and knowledgeable

Gary Fields

Extremely professional and caring plus a great massage. Lauren was my therapist and I was extremely impressed with her skill and technique.

Taylor Simoes

Relaxing and clean space, friendly staff who are passionate about their jobs and your health. Can't say enough good things. I'm very happy with my decision to pursue a massage therapist at this establishment. Loucil is my go to girl.

Nancy Roy

I had a grand massage.It was very relaxing & I felt wonderful after.Niki made me feel relaxed & she new just what to do 4 my back & shoulders.I will b going ever Monday now.Thanks

Jay INSPIRES

My wife and I went in on 7/26 for the first time and we were extremely pleased. Greeted with a smile, they knew our names upon arriving, extremely professional, very clean, and to top it off the Massages were phenomenal. Lucille and the young lady with glasses (we forgot her name) were both AWESOME! We'll definitely be booking again.

elizabeth casey

Loucil is very professional and welcoming. Always a very relaxing, therapeutic experience.

Faith Nigro

Appreciate the flexibility of schedule and types of massages. Great environment. Wonderful staff.

Thomas West

I would highly recommend Nika to help cure your aches and pains. She has been working on me for about a month now and has made a big difference in how I feel. I was experiencing severe lower back and right leg pain. She knew what needed to be done to make me feel better. I am glad she was recommended to me by the Chiropractic Health Center of Glastonbury. I plan on continuing my sessions with Nika for the forseeable future.

Jo-Ann Pierpont

Chrissy does a wonderful job!! Very professional, just the right amount of pressure to work out knots and stress in my back and shoulders! I never was a "massage person," but these massages definitely help relax me before my chiropractic adjustment with Dr. DeFrancesco!

Jillian Webber

Nice ambiance very relaxing. Staff is very helpfull

DanceAngel4853 .

Quick to respond and my session was great! Krista was so quick to get back to me. I just emailed late last night and got in tonight. She was great and I appreciate how quickly I was replied to! My cranial sacral therapy was relaxing and relieving and would definitely want to do this again in the future.

Catherine Kay

I have been going to Alternative 4 Health for many years. I go every 2 weeks for a 30 minute massage and then an adjustment by Dr. D. I cannot say enough great things about my massages. I look forward to them. I feel like a new person after them. Dr. D comments on how loose my spine feels when he adjusts me. He can always tell when I have not had an massage. It is the one thing I allow myself to indulge in. It not only makes me feel better physically it's great for my mental well being. I can't imagine ever stopping having them. If you haven't check them out yet, I don't know what you are waiting for the girls are great Massage Therapists!

Lindsay Sheffield

Krista did a great job on my two deep-tissue massages that I came in for. Very relaxing rooms with soothing music so it was easy to get comfortable. Scheduling was also quick and easy, and I appreciate that there are appointments available later in the day. My neck and shoulders are much more mobile after she worked on my problem areas, and I'll definitely be back in the future for more massage treatments!
