Helen is a miracle worker!!! My partner and I came in for a 45 min coupleās massage on a Saturday at noon, they worked us in pretty much right away. We both work with our hands and were having lots of shoulder pain, mine was going down the arm and causing lots of pain, tingling, and numbness.
The room was nice and relaxing, low lights and quiet music. Helen made sure to ask what kind of pressure to use and I told her to use pretty strong pressure and told her what my symptoms were.
The massage itself was not exactly āpleasantā, but not because Helen did a bad job, simply because I was sooo tight and sore. She REALLY got into the most painful parts of my shoulder and neck, sometimes the pressure felt like almost too much but I didnāt tell her to stop because I needed those knots GONE.
Afterwards my partner and I were both quite sore, but I could immediately turn my head to the left without pain, which I couldnāt do before. Helen told us to drink warm water and to expect to be sore for a couple of days and she was definitely correct about the latter part. Prepare to be sore for 2-3 days with a deep tissue massage on an area thatās been painful.
However I can happily say that a HUGE amount of my neck and shoulder pain is gone!! Itās not totally resolved but I will definitely be going back for more treatment with Helen! She is awesome š Sheās obviously quite well informed about how muscles, fascia, and nerves work together and even has a chart at the front desk showing all the relevant anatomy throughout the body.
Super reasonable pricing as well....
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy husband and I were on vacation for a week in Carlsbad and I did some research to find a good place for a massage to work out some painful knots we have both been dealing with. The ladies were so skilled and helpful! I loved when Helen told us the difference in mindset for them is they don't do massage just to benefit themselves, they do it to really help others even if it can cause them discomfort from an exhausting day. They really are passionate about what they do. Helen gave us some stretches to do to maintain comfort after getting the knots worked out. I highly recommend them! Plus their cost was half of what we normally pay in the Kansas City area. We both did a 60 minute body and I added a 30 minute foot massage for my husband which helped...
