Can a massage be described as "detail-oriented?" This place is family- and locally- owned, the customer service is amazing (in spite of a language barrier), and in just 2 massage sessions, they totally eliminated my persistent lower-back pain!!
So I booked a massage with them through Groupon, as I'd been having some pretty severe lower-back pain for 5-6 weeks. I could tell it was a strained lumbar muscle but no matter how much I stretched, strentghened, or rested, I could not get the pain to stop. I was hoping a massage would help or at least feel nice, but since the pain had been so persistent, I wasn't exactly optimistic. Especially since the marketing seemed more relaxation-oriented and spa-like than therapeutic, but I figured I could tell the person doing my massage about the pain to see if they could focus on it.
When I arrived, I quickly discovered that it was a small hole-in-the-wall place operated by a Chinese couple that didn't speak much English. We used phone translators to communicate a little bit, but I decided it would be too difficult to try and explain the pain I was having, and that I should just relax and enjoy (I have a little bit of social anxiety, and constantly worry about being difficult).
Suprisingly, it only took a few minutes for the gentleman doing my massage to pinpoint what was wrong and he ended up focusing the rest of the massage on the affected muscles, then performed some body manipulation and stretching. He checked in regularly to make sure I was doing ok. I left feeling about the same as when I got there. Maybe actually a bit more tender.
Afterward, he used google translate to explain I had a lumbar strain (which I had figured out) and that it would require 3-4 more sessions to resolve, and recommended coming back in 3 days.
I woke up the next morning with noticeably less stiffness and pain. The morning after the 2nd session, I woke up with NO PAIN, and it didn't come back. I still had some stiffness and soreness in surrounding muscles that had been compensating for the lumbar strain, so I went back for the 3rd, and feel brand new. I mean, literally could barely bend over far enough to touch past my knees and now I can almost touch my toes again!!
The day before my 2nd appointment, my husband pulled something in his shoulder, so I texted them to schedule him a massage at the same time as mine. They were able to squeeze him in, and he had the same experience--the therapist doing his massage quickly identified and focused on the affected area, and his mobility was back to normal almost immediately after we left.
I'm recommending them to EVERYONE I KNOW. I also love the very casual, quiet atmosphere. Don't let the humble appearance of the place fool you--they are absolute experts and will give you the best (and probably least expensive) massage of your life.
Also, they are super nice and were very excited and encouraging when I tried to practice my very limited Mandarin with them. I like them so much I've started brushing up on it for...
Read moreI recently visited New Easy Garden Relaxation in Columbus, Ohio, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The atmosphere is calm, clean, and truly lives up to the “relaxation” in their name—it’s the kind of place that immediately makes you feel like you're in good hands.
I booked a 90-minute full body massage, and it was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The massage therapist was highly skilled and attentive, asking about any specific areas of tension or discomfort before starting. They applied just the right amount of pressure and were incredibly intuitive about where I was holding stress. My shoulders and lower back had been really tight from work, and by the end of the session, I felt so much lighter and more relaxed.
What stood out to me was how thoughtful and professional the service was. The therapist checked in during the massage to make sure I was comfortable, and they maintained a peaceful, quiet environment the entire time. You can tell they really care about their clients and take pride in their work.
If you’re in Columbus and looking for a high-quality, reasonably priced massage, I highly recommend giving New Easy Garden Relaxation a try. Whether you need relief from muscle tension or just want to unwind and de-stress, this place delivers. I’ll definitely be...
Read moreI woke up yesterday in so much pain and barely able to lift my arm due to a severe muscle spasm in my trap,shoulder,neck and peck muscle. It was even worse today. I gave Easy Garden a call. I was a bit confused when they said call back, I didn't understand. I did call exactly at 10am on the dot though. They texted me and asked what kind of massage I needed, for how many people and for how long. I told them exactly what I needed and that I'd be there right quick. The place is a bit hard to find because it's in a mall inside of a shopping center. It's quiet, pleasant, relaxing and the gentleman who greeted me was professional. There is a language barrier, but that is overcome by doing the Google translate on their phone. Just speak slow and clear. Next, the masseuse was very pleasant and professional as well. She kept asking if I was ok, if the pressure was ok. At one point we needed to translate an issue of where I couldn't be touched or how deep the pressure couldn't be due to past spinal surgeries. She was a very lovely lady and did a great job! I had a huge knot that she was able to relieve, which let me work my 10.5 hour shift today as a waitress. I will be coming back, and I've already told several others...
