Valor Massage — Attraction in Fayetteville

My guy and I walked in, because we had heard about the place at the All American Tattoo Convention. Upon walking in, the receptionist looked at us like we weren’t supposed to be there.. which felt confusing and awkward. We let her know we were just checking the place out and interested in booking two sports massages. We both work out a lot & can never find GOOD massage therapists to help our bodies with recovery. She said we were at the right place. We had hope. We went in the day of our appts and received our massages. Money wouldn’t matter if we truly received good care, but the prices were way too high for what we received. The massage I experienced was a typical, full body massage. The guy I had was nice, he had a great energy and was super strong but the massage wasn’t any different from a massage I would’ve gotten at a mall. I was content but not impressed. My man who is 6’, 220+ lbs had a woman for his massage which would’ve been fine, but in his opinion she just didn’t apply enough pressure. An issue we always run into— and the biggest thing I mentioned to the receptionist when booking. The biggest let down was the fact that we needed two deep pressure, sports massages that would really help us out, which was what we were promised. But we did not receive it. We thought this was the place that would finally help us out with recovery, but no. Instead we were met with a strange attitude upon entering the establishment from the front desk, and two ‘okay’ massages that were pricier than normal. Although we wanted to love this place, and the people at the tattoo convention were awesome- we unfortunately had a bad experience and I wouldn’t recommend this place to my friends. Great concept, bad...

Trauma Recovery, session 2. Not for the faint of heart. With that being said my goal for 2025 is to remove the proverbial bandaid that has been multiple medications that have allowed me to repress so much from the past instead of facing it. After over a month I feel like my body has expelled the majority of the pharmacy that I was previously taking. My 2nd session with Brittany released A LOT of emotions, my body was and is exhausted but I also felt so much relief 24 hours later. Letting another person have control is hard for me, but fixing everything that is off kilter is of exponential importance for my own wellbeing and mental health. Having faith and trust in your practitioner is essential. Brittany has assessed me from the top of my head to the tip of my toes. Her care plan is clearly keyed to my recovery. I feel safe in her care which allows this to work. I don’t think I could be in better hands and my Primary Care Provider is thrilled with the route that I have chosen to take for my trauma recovery. Don’t get me wrong, as a medical professional, I believe in the science and need for medication (s) for mental health problems among other things. But I have experienced first hand the potential damage that is also possible. Trauma Recovery regardless of how you got it is possible without Big Pharma! Please follow my journey. The team at Valor Massage has a great big bag of tips, tricks and most...

I saw Antwan aka “Midas,” and that couldn’t be a more fitting nickname! My first appointment, I arrived at the studio, and it is clean and comfortable. The staff at the desk are very friendly and get you checked in. Antwan was promptly on schedule, and took a moment to review why I was getting bodywork and what I needed to get out of it, but he did not waste time getting to helping me feel better! I feel like I got value out of every minute. For reference, I have a chronic spinal disease that causes me a lot of t-spine and upper back pain. I understand that massage therapy is a pricier health investment, but I cannot recommend it enough if you’re desperate for some pain relief apart from medication. Antwan really targeted my trouble areas, and I feel like he was able to start “undoing” years of damage. Especially as a woman with a male massage therapist, I felt 100% comfortable with him. Truly a professional and expert at his craft, and I will be returning to continue to build on the progress he made because I truly believe it will offer me some pain relief. So glad I found Valor! Also heads up, the studio is cash only but they have an atm on site which is...
