Much Kneaded Massage & Bodywork — Local services in Bethesda

Apple is truly exceptional. As a dancer, yoga teacher, and movement & wellness professional, I rely heavily on massage therapy for my rest and recovery. Over the years, I've experienced many massages from various therapists, but none have compared to Apple. Her skill and dedication stand out remarkably.

Struggling with chronic hip and shoulder pain has been a constant battle for me since my early 20s. Despite temporary relief from other therapists, the pain always returned within a week. That all changed when I began seeing Apple regularly, scheduling sessions bi-weekly.

Her approach is unparalleled. It's evident that she's deeply committed to the healing journey of her clients. With a background as an athlete and a mover, her intuition shines through in every session. Apple seamlessly integrates her vast knowledge and dedication into her practice, making her the sole therapist I trust.

Apple's expertise extends beyond conventional massage therapy. She incorporates techniques that I've never witnessed before, demonstrating her innovative approach to healing. While she adeptly delivers the precise pressure needed, she also approaches each session with a conscious and gentle touch, ensuring that I heal properly. In summary, finding Apple has brought me immense joy and relief. She is undeniably a true healer, a rarity...

My mom and I were visiting DC and staying in Bethesda. After walking 20+ miles around the city over the course of a couple days, we wanted to spend our last day relaxing and getting massages before heading home. We happened across Much Kneaded Massage on Google, and called to see if there was any way to schedule back to back massages before our flight the next day. Apple responded immediately and even came in early the next morning in order to fit us both in.

The location is downtown Bethesda and only a three minute walk from Hyatt Regency Bethesda which made it a breeze to get to even without a car. The location is in a shared office space that is professional, inviting, and clean.

This was truly one of the best massages I’ve received, and Apple asked about problem areas and addressed concerns. I was comfortable and at ease in a new location, and I left feeling less sore and more relaxed after a couple busy days of walking. I would definitely recommend booking a massage while in town, and I’d make it a monthly ritual if I lived in...

My experience with Much Kneaded Massage and Bodywork with Apple was fantastic. Throughout the entire experience, I could tell that Apple was very experienced and knowledgeable. Her techniques were great and varied from medium to deep pressure--she was very attentive to my preference levels and was able to adjust easily and accordingly, if requested. Her movements were fluid, the draping was secure and felt comfortable, and the entire massage had a really good flow. Apple paid very close attention to my comfort level. In terms of the studio space, it was super clean and cozy. The lobby and bathrooms are nice too. I enjoyed her relaxing music, and she has created a comfortable environment and vibe. She even gave me some great massage techniques to incorporate into my own massage therapy business. I will be back again, and highly recommend Apple and Much Kneaded Massage and Bodywork. I have a lot of friends who live in Bethesda, MD so I will refer her...
