Optimal Massage, LLC — Attraction in Maitland

This was my first visit with Heather. She was referred to me by my PT. I was nervous to go in 1. because it was my first time with her and I have had some really bad massages in the past and 2. because of Covid-19. Let me first say this was one of the BEST massages I have ever had! Heather asked me many questions about the areas I was feeling pain in and she not only worked on those locations but she also shared her knowledge about why I was feeling the pain and then she also shared stretches I could do to relieve the pain. I could tell immediately she was passionate about her career as a massage therapist and she is very good at it! As far as COVID-19 is concerned she eased my fears immediately. She had me fill all of the paperwork out online. She sent a text asking me to text her when I arrived, wait in my car till she was ready for me and to wear a mask. When I got inside she had a mask on and offered me hand sanitizer. I wore the mask while I was face up and it was really ok. When she had me flip over she had me take the mask off and she had a little stand that she had me hang it on and she did not touch it. When we were finished she left the room and I put my mask back on. Very professional and safe. I highly recommend Heather and I have already scheduled my next appointment!!!!...

Despite dealing with semi-persistent arm, shoulder, neck and lower-back discomfort for years, deciding to get my first massage at age 52 came with a not insignificant amount of trepidation. Fueled by ignorance of massage therapy techniques, coupled with mild skepticism surrounding its practice and popularity, I went into my session with a mixture of nervousness and doubt. An hour-and-a-half later my worries and cynicism had dissipated along with my pain. Heather's skill, professionalism, warmth and patience were key factors in my experience being both pleasant and transformative.

My massage was thorough, targeted and productive. Dull aches and sharp pains--some I'd experienced while idle and others triggered through simple motions--things I'd begun to accept would be a part of my existence for the rest of my days were drastically diminished or outright eliminated. Additionally, as someone to whom serenity has never come easily, I was delighted when I realized how relaxed both my mind and body were after my session was complete.

I am very grateful for Heather's attentiveness and dedication to addressing the needs of her clients. I heartily recommend that anyone interested in markedly improving their state of being avail themselves of the healing arts offered by...

I went to Optimal Massage for the first time yesterday on a recommendation from my daughter. I've had lower back issues for years and have visited chiropractors for relief that many times included a massage by a therapist working out of their office.

My visit with Heather was different in that it was more communicative than most...in a good way. She really tries to understand the problem and its root cause. This review may be different from most because I didn't leave feeling relaxed and all warm and fuzzy, BUT I did leave feeling that I had been worked on by a caring person who really knew what she was doing.

Today my back and neck are a bit sore which she had forewarned about because my muscles, neck, back and hamstrings, were so tight. She also gave me some exercises to continue stretching these areas. Even after one visit I feel confident that she, along with my following her instructions, will bring about the results that I have been looking for.

I never write reviews but as you can see this one is leaning positive. I'm only giving 4 stars because it's only been one visit, but I do believe that it will quickly become 5 otherwise I would not be going back. Will be able to tell more after a few more visits. Stay...
