I’ve been coming to Revive for about 3 years now. I work on my feet, lifting, hunching, contorting my body 40+ hours a week as well as train in the gym 4-5 days a week. Not a pro athlete by any means but do put my body through the wringer. Massage has been an integral part of my health and wellness practice for a solid 10 years now. Of all the places I have worked with Revive is my favorite. It’s always clean, the team is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, they’re well equipped to deal with pretty much anything you can throw at them recovery wise. I don’t make use of much else beyond massage because I haven’t had a need to, but they have an assortment of other treatments available as well as packages so you can mix and match. Prices are IMO competitive with other services on this level. My therapist has been Blake mostly, he co-owns the business and also works with the Titans. While on a few occasions I have worked with other therapists there, and they were certainly competent, Blake is by far the best therapist I have had in this practice for my body. His skills and sensitivity are remarkable. A massage from him will have me feeling good and moving well for at least a month. I can come to him in near unbearable pain and walk away feeling completely refreshed. This is not a fluff massage where the next day you feel as bad as you did before your appointment. This is a treatment, where issues are dealt with. It can be intense, and sometimes painful, but it works. Blake has been fixing my issues for years and my life is markedly better because of it. In a session he makes sure to address any trouble areas you inform him of, employing various techniques to work through the issues. My sessions have always included cupping which has been a game changer for me. Even if I don’t mention an issue to him, perhaps it’s not on my radar, he is so in tune with my body in the moment that he finds the trouble spots and works his magic. It truly feels like that sometimes, magic. And the background music is pretty enjoyable too. So in conclusion, if you’re in need of a tune up, once or ongoing, this is the...
Read moremost of the stellar reviews seem to be more for Blake however he is no longer taking new clients. my husband and i were planning on trying out all of the therapists here to see who we wanted to commit to as we get a 90-min deep tissue massage or 2 every week. but after 3 disappointing massages we're not sure how these people have the credentials and reviews that they have.
Zerian did not focus on anything my husband asked him to and gave a normal pressure.
Liz had an...interesting...technique that involved pinching motions and left me with scratches all over my body. Also not deep tissue.
Emilee was the best of the three and gave a great deep pressure to extremities, but not to my back where it's needed most. legs and arms felt great afterwards as well, but my back didn't see as much improvement as i usually get with other practitioners.
overall if i had to choose...i'd go with Emilee. but when it comes to choices in Nashville as a whole (that i've been to), there are quite a few others i'd choose first, and only one of them was actually impressive enough for us to book every week for over year. the only reason we haven't kept using him is because of how degrading he talked about women in his life, and as a woman myself, i could not support that.
the hunt for the best deep tissue in Nashville...
Read moreI recently booked a Sports Massage at Revive Sports Recovery with Steven and I must say it was an incredible experience! From start to finish, Steven was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs. He took the time to ask about my activity level, any specific areas of tension, and the types of discomfort I had been feeling.
The massage itself was tailored perfectly to target my sore muscles, especially in my hip flexors and lower back, which had been bothering me recently. Steven always asked about the level of pressure on the targeted areas to ensure I was doing okay and if more needed to be applied.
What really impressed me was how much relief I felt immediately after. The tightness and discomfort I had been dealing with for days melted away, and I felt looser and more mobile. My hip felt refreshed, and I left feeling like I could take on a new workout without the usual aches.
Overall, the Sports Massage was an amazing experience that not only provided immediate relief but also helped to improve my overall flexibility and recovery. I’ll definitely be returning for another...
