Reviews of Massage Therapy Works Inc (Massage Therapist)

Alex Lenail

Jeff, a therapist here, is a master. My second shoulder surgery didn't go well, and I've had a lot of scare tissue and achy, atrophied muscle problems in my shoulder over the past 6 months. 2 sessions with Jeff, and all of it was cleared. I can hardly express how incredible it is to walk out of a massage and be able to move your arm again for the first time in months. Best massage therapist ever.

Damaris Barbosa

I've had a massage from Rich, Jessenia and Ammon. They are all wonderful! The staff here are very kind and knowledgeable and the office is very relaxing. I enjoy spending my time here! ;)

Linda Lank

I've been getting wonderful massages from Rochele at MTW for several years. She's very experienced, knowledgeable, a great listener, and someone I trust completely to address whatever physical issue I'm doing with. It's always a pleasure, as well as important for my well-being, to get my massages at MTW!

Joanna Springs

The staff is always professional and knowledgeable. The booking system is hassle free. A great experience from beginning to end.

Erica Stockwell-Alpert

Blain and Matt are my go to guys. Very friendly and they do a great job. The place is clean, comfortable and relaxing

Henry Giles

I know when I go to Massage Therapy Works, I will get relief from any pain that I am in. They always go above and beyond to not only help fix the problem, but also help keep it from recurring by addressing the actions that led to it.

Marianne Ray

My first therapist was not a good match for what I was looking for. Massage Therapy Works gave me a 50$ gift card for a future appointment, which is pending.

Joyce Ketchum

They're very informative and have helped me understand and improve my stretching techniques. Now I have less muscle aches after physical activity.

Katy Space

I was extremely satisfied going to Massage Therapy Works. I think the staff who work there are amazing, they are friendly and always very helpful. Each and every time I have been in I receive excellent service, I have no complaints.

Julia

I'm a cellist and the musician life certainly takes its toll. I came here on a recommendation from a family member and my massage therapist Jessenia was nothing short of fantastic. The atmosphere was calm and comforting, and all the staff were friendly and warm. The massage itself was excellent and exactly what I needed-- Jessenia listened to my needs and worked her magic. Cannot recommend enough.

Anais Wheeler

I've been going to Massage Therapy Works for years. While I've occasionally flirted with other massage places, I keep coming back to MTW because I know that I will get an exceptional massage in a lovely atmosphere no matter who I book. I never plan ahead for massages, and so I've had a wide variety of therapists over the years, and everyone they employ is talented, intuitive, and knowledgeable. It's a locally owned business and they do well retaining massage therapists, which says to me that they are also doing well by their employees, which is important to me. I highly recommend MTW for consistently the best service in greater Boston.

Raymond Ramos

The people are nice and the message was great

Kevin Wentworth

I had a great experience, a very friendly staff, relaxing environment, and my stiff neck and shoulder feel better already. I’ll definitely be going back, and would recommend anyone looking for a massage give them a try.

Stavros Macrakis

Well organized and welcoming multi-masseur office. I got an appointment with a massage therapist blindly (no referral) and was very pleased with the treatment.

Michael McKenzie

I have been coming to MTW for 12 years and the quality and professionalism is second to none. The knowledge of the practitioners has helped not only in my physical well being but furthering a deeper understanding of the other aspects of myself. I have and continue to grow.in mind body and spirit. Michael McKenzie

Amy Morris

This is the best massage therapy place I've found in the area. All of the massage therapists are awesome and really know what they're doing. I really appreciate the quality of service provided here and would highly recommend them. I will definitely be coming here for a long time.

lisa de freitas

Absolutely the best place to get a massage, acupuncture or energy work. It's a beautiful quiet sanctuary. The staff are friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. They offer treatment packages and memberships and you can purchase Doterra products too! So far I've been to Blain and Ammon and they were both very gifted therapists. I would highly recommend them.

Don Maier

I really like how easy it is to use their website to make an appointment. Also, it is helpful to read about each therapist and the different treatments available.

Josh Nason

Excellent service on almost all counts! Staff was extremely kind and helpful, deep tissue massage was thorough and rejuvenating, and follow-on discussion was informative and enlightening. The only small improvement i would suggest is that I felt I had no direction, and with limited experience with massages, I felt I was frequently wondering "should I be doing something right now?" and similar questions. Absolutely minuscule note relative to the overall excellent experience, and I definitely plan to return there in the future!

Matthew Smith

Love this place. Never had a bad massage. My sore shoulder is healed! Quiet, bohemian, eastern vibe.

Firstglenn Lastbutler

Very good

Larissa Klun

Great place—great massage and I don’t like massages! Very friendly folks, clean and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend

Frank Bryant

I was very satisfied with the service I received from Massage Therapy Works. I was really excited that my appointment was going to begin on time. I have been to other spa's where they offer massages and I have had to wait 20 minutes after my appointment was scheduled to start! Thanks for not making me wait.

Marzouki

Dave healed me with Acupuncture. I had an injury and underwent both physical and occupational therapy, and it didn't help with the pain at all. My friend suggested acupuncture, and our of desperation I tried it. To my astonishing surprise the pain started subsiding after I began my treatment. I highly recommend Dave, my faith in Western medicine and science is dying, my insurance should have covered this instead of the useless occupational or physical therapy that didn't help with my injury and pain at all like acupuncture I received from Dave here!!!!

Alden Gagnon

Fantastic service and clean space. All of the staff is highly qualified and vetted. David is a great acupuncturist and I would 10/10 recommend him as well if you’re going.

Katy Mimno

Massage Therapy works is wonderful, so cozy and welcoming. I’ve been to fancy spas all over the world, and they’re great, but honestly I love coming back to this place. It’s very simple but clean, quiet, unpretentious and calming atmosphere- kind of like a yoga studio. The therapists are consistently fantastic you can tell they are all very knowledgeable about anatomy/therapeutic massage and know exactly what they’re doing, not just random or standard patterns. You can schedule online and they routinely have availability within the same day or two if needed. They also have all kinds of different appointment lengths which I appreciate. It’s tucked away in the back of an office building on the 3rd floor so a little hard to find the first time but just follow the signs and you’ll be fine.

Taylor Chenton

Massage Therapy Works are an established clinic and I trust them. Great spa, highly recommended.

Jenna Hanley

I highly recommend Massage Therapy Works. They really do a great job and always start my appointments on time. Great place to go.

Phoebe Seide

I was very happy with everything: warm and welcoming environment, professional service with a smile, and I couldn't ask for better than my therapist, Rochelle; she was great. I highly recommend MTW. There can't be a better place to go to.

Edsall Hilty

Stephanie is the absolute best! Highlight of my week!

Victor Sadlwer

I am always satisfied with the services I receive from Massage Therapy Works Inc. My appointments always begin on time and the decor makes it so relaxing. They are located very close to my house so I will continue to see them on a regular basis.

Kathleen Ford

I really like that you can make appointments online. It is so easy and convenient. I have came here many times for a massage and each time was excellent.

Jeremy Goldin

Massage Therapy Works offers true healing. I was very stubborn to accept that I had tightness and posture issues, wanting to just get back to my hardcore workouts. But with patience and his clear grasp of the facts and how to present them, Richard demonstrated to me that I had certain imbalances that could be corrected by certain means, some of which were his excellent massages, but using the whole life approach to clinical healing, he showed me new stretches and resources I could use myself to improve. I used to be a personal trainer, and I can vouch that he and the several other therapists I went to there, really know their stuff and can follow through on getting you where you want to be. With their help, I have made drastic improvements in my quality of life - I sleep better, move better, walk with less discomfort (I used to complain a lot and avoid walking, "saving my energy" for busting my butt in the gym). And most importantly, my wife can again finally evenings without my incessant complaining about soreness that is "good for me." I most sincerely recommend them and all the staff - truly clinical massage. And I hear they do good relaxing treatments as well, but I'm too high strung for that :)

Tahmeena Chowdhury

A great place for therapeutic and deep tissue massages. Jessenia and Meghan are great.

kevin charlie foxtrot

My first prenatal message and it was excellent.

Michael Tarselli

Quiet, tranquil, and professional. Therapists are patient and know how to tailor experience to your needs.

Donnell Baez

Had a massage for the first time here at MTW. It was a great experience. The massage was very relaxing and comfortable. Staff were very nice and place is very cool and calm . Definitely recommend coming here if you ever need a massage.

Lucia Duncan

I have chronic back and neck pain and Richard's massages have helped lessen the pain, but also taught me to understand what's happening and to be more observant about posture in daily life.

NL. C

I haven’t been booked with a masseuse that I didn’t like. Quality services!

Kelly Chronely

This place is a dream. I've had many massages at many places and this is my all-time favorite! I now live out of town and when I have an exercise related injury, this is my first call. They have done wonders when I've torn muscles, had minor running related strains, or just want to feel great after a half marathon or tough mudder. The staff is really knowledgeable and able to give great advice on stretches and ways to improve your body's overall health. I now live a few towns away and still drive my butt to Davis Square for their amazing massages. Worth every penny!

Shakura Cox

Amazing place, therapist Matt was amazing. My boyfriend got a massage from Jessenia and he was also very happy. 10/10 would recommend. Also good pricing. Very nice, relaxing atmosphere. The decor is on point.

Lisa Lowe

Bob is a masseur and body worker with 30 years of experience. I had been in pain in my upper back and shoulders for several weeks, and was unable to raise my left arm higher than my head. He quickly identified my difficulties and helped to realign and massage my neck, shoulders, and back. I will definitely return.

Ariela Weinbach

I saw Hilary this past week for an Ayurvedic health consultation, and was incredibly impressed with her knowledge, sensitivity, and insight. I filled out the very comprehensive health background form in advance of my visit. When I arrived, Hilary guided me through a calming and grounding breathing exercise to start our session. We then went over my responses, discussing areas where I feel there is a lack of balance in my life. Hilary is a fantastic listener - she is not at all judgmental and never made me feel rushed. She listened and took notes on everything I mentioned. In the second half of the session, Hilary explained the foundational principles of Ayurveda and explained the benefits of incorporating healthy routines into life that are tailored to YOU, taking your entire system, both physical and emotional, into account. Her recommendations (which she both told me in person, then e-mailed a very comprehensive personalized guide soon after the appointment) were all geared toward helping me find balance where it had been lacking in my life. It was immediately clear that Hilary is not only well-versed in Ayurveda - she also is very passionate about it. I could tell that she deeply cared about how her recommendations could help me, and that she hoped I would enjoy the process of incorporating Ayurveda into my life. She recommended recipes, supplements, self massage techniques & breathing exercises for relaxation, and even homemade acne remedies! I learned so much in just an hour and a half. Hilary quickly answered any questions I had after she emailed me my recommendations, and encouraged me to be in touch anytime. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and kind guide to Ayurveda, see Hilary at Massage Therapy Works for a consultation! You will be thankful you did.

Jim Baab

I had not had a massage in about six years. Richard was able to provide relief from decades of injuries along my left side, head to toe. After one session, I was able to see a difference in (and be more mindful of) my posture. As a stay-at-home parent for our toddler, I look forward to the next two sessions and the positive energy they will bring.

Maria Yuanita

Very relaxing experience. My husband and I were trying couple massage, and it was really good.

Ryan Hutchins

I have now gotten three massages at Massage Therapy Works, and all three of them were excellent, although they were from different LMTs with different styles. I have also dealt with three different receptionists, all of whom were polite and professional. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

Betsy Alexander

Richard knows his stuff and has helped reduce the amount of pain in my shoulders and lower back. He has great technique and explains ways I can certain stretches to help reduce the pain on my own as well.

Andrew Rohman

Amazing every time I go - whether for a scheduled session or capitalizing on a last-second opening thanks to the timely emails (brilliant management!). Each therapist as their open approach and aura, and I leave every session feeling all sorts of relief beyond what I knew I needed.

Kristin Josti

This is by far the best, most legit place to get a massage in the area. I have never had a bad massage therapist, and I have seen several of them. They clearly vet their employees. Prices are fair for services received.

Emily Vetter

I used to come here a few years ago for a relaxation or a deep tissue massage and it was always great. I came here again last week and had a sports massage with Orion and it was amazing! This place is always great. I was dealing with some neck stiffness and soreness and I walked out floating on air.

Chris Vella

The massage therapists are committed to healing your body.

Robert Malone

When I have a muscle ache that I can't get rid of or a bone that I need help mending, they're the ones I go to every time.

J R.z

This place is Ah-mazing!!

Julie Cooper

I really like how established Massage Therapy Works Inc as a company. It is a very clean and professional facility with a friendly and helpful staff. I recommend their massage services to anyone in the area needing a relaxing appointment.

Stacy Blackadar

Jess was awesome and super helpful! Will be coming back!!

Tamara K.

A cozy and quiet place, with music playing softly in the background and lightly scented room to put you at ease. My massage therapist, Matt, was lovely. I left leaving mellow, pleasantly sleepy, and rejuvenated. I also do appreciate the oil not being scented and overly greasy. Worth coming here monthly to escape reality, even for an hour.

Dan McCool

This was my first massage, and Cate made it a wonderful, relaxing experience. She made me feel at ease and was very attentive, working a lot of tension out of my shoulders and back. Great experience.

Rutvij Merchant

Good experience - therapists are very knowledgeable and professional.

Kimberley Rice

I’ve had pain in my shoulder and rotator cuff area for months. I happened on Massage Therapy Works on a business trip. I was fortunate to have a session with Bob and he was amazing. I don’t have pain in the area any more and my flexibility is better too. I will definitely be making an appointment with Bob again as soon as I schedule my next trip to Somerville. Thank you!

Gary N

I have been coming to Massage Therapy Works for years and have been nothing but impressed with their care. They are excellent at what they do and very accommodating.

Tony Battaglia

I've had a few sessions with Rochele and she's great. She always listens, and focuses on the problem areas. The staff is always friendly and making appointments is easy.

Candice Roberts

Everyone here is so thoughtful and caring. With their help my quality of life has improved so much, I can't thank them enough.

Kevin McGrath

Massage Therapy Works is always such a relaxing and pleasant experience. They're professional and it's the best place around to get a high quality deep tissue or sports massage. Already planned my next seession

Tiffany W

This is the best place in the area. Therapists are highly trained as well as friendly

Sean Bongol

I had a therapeutic massage from Orion today and it was absolutely fantastic. My neck and back were killing me and after I left Massage Therapy Works I felt immediately better. I strongly recommend their massages.

Paul Barker

Richard has been able to help me with many different physical issues, including chronic pain, and has made me stronger and more optimistic.

Pamela Smith

I have been a client of Massage Therapy Works for the past five years and I have used several different people. No matter whom I make my appointment with, they always provide great therapeutic and body work.

Sara Erickson

I have been a patient of Massage Therapy Works for about six years. I use the therapeutic and integrative body work. Richard does an amazing job and is so helpful each time I see him.

Larry Phillips

I have been going to Massage Therapy Works for very long time. Richard is who I work with and he always tries different types of massages to see what works best for me at that visit. I appreciate the convenient location and I highly recommend their services to anyone in the area.

Elizabeth Godlewski

Super experienced masseuses who tailor treatment to your body's particular needs, highly recommend!

Gretchen Warren

They're the best I've ever been to. I love the online booking feature and it's just a great place to go!

Travis Keller

Richard really has a gift. He understands how the body works, and takes the time to explain everything to you.

Kristen Cox

I was never one for massages growing up but a couple of years ago I hurt my knee while I was training for a race and thought I'd give a sports massage a try. First of all, I left being able to walk after limping around for a week and second, I had a new love of massages. I've seen several of the therapists on and off throughout the last couple years and finally decided that I'm a grown adult and that self care needs to be budgeted into my life in the form of monthly massages with Rochelle. Everyone I've seen there is very friendly and laid-back but knowledgeable but Rochelle is the perfect mix of pressure but not pain and conversational but just reads the situation well. I also like that they have an incredible variety of services and times so you can plan what is best for you and your wallet.

Toni LoPresti

I’ve been coming to massage therapy works for a few years and have seen several different therapists. I’d highly recommend all of them. I most recently saw Matt, the experience can only be described as perfect. Perfect ambience, professionalism and skill. I’ve moved further away from Somerville but continue to travel back just for massages.

Theresa Higgs

I love this place! Every therapist I have had there is kind, professional and soooo good! They go beyond the usual massages. I highly recommend them!

Gabriela Novaes Zarur

Hanna was fantastic, listened to all my concerns carefully and the massage was very relaxing. Thank you!

Brenda Wedel

My therapist is definitely a healer, and has both the knowledge to tell you why you are having your particular issues, and a certain intuition that guides him to just the right spot, with the perfect amount of pressure!

Amy Sixt

I started going here on the recommendation of my massage therapist who closed his practice to travel. My massage therapist went to Bob, so he recommended me to Bob. I am a rock climber, ice climber, snow and water skier, hiker, etc. I expect my body to perform without pain. I am not looking for music and a body lotion rub. I am looking for body work aka fix the tension and pain so I can continue beating myself up. I have had chronic pain regularly due to sports injury. Bob helped me permanently fix some pain and successfully manage other injuries. I find that I have to go less often and experience generally less pain. Bob is very knowledgeable about the body and willing to explain/teach you in addition to fixing you. I highly recommend him to any sports athlete.

Mahala Burn

I've been very happy with MTW. Ammon and Orion are both very kind guys who give a clinically helpful massage and can find the source of issues. Scheduling is easy and the staff are very helpful and welcoming. I have been going for 4 years and anticipate being a client for years to come.

Lynn Warner

I have been receiving sports massages from Massage Therapy Works for the past five years. Rochele is great and I will definitely continue to see her. I highly recommend their services to both family and friends in the area.

Shana Rivera

Jeffrey really takes the time to understand you and your goals, he's very skilled and caring.

Julie Beck

I love this place - all the massage therapists are talented and really know what they are doing. I walk out feeling so much better. It's very mellow in there, too - even the environment makes me relax. Highly recommend!

Matt Olek

Both of my therapist were knowledgeable and great..I plan on making monthly appointments soon.

Andrew Wiley

I've had multiple services at Massage Therapy Works, including acupuncture, different forms of massage, and more. Every time I've come away feeling relaxed, with an improved sense of health and well-being. I strongly recommend MTW for your self-care needs, having seen multiple service providers who were all very knowledgeable and effective. You'll be glad you went!

Megen West

MTW rocks!

Michael Robbins

Ammon was thoughtful and precise in addressing the spasm in my low-back through assisted stretches and direct pressure on the trigger points in the area of pain. Great work!

Lydia Jane Graeff

Aamon is the best! Reasonable prices, great services and convenient location.
