Altitudes Massage & Spa — Local services in Big Bear Lake

I am an overactive guy with two speeds: On and Off. I regularly compete in surfski races, and am often found flying around on roller blades or a mountain bike, when my boat is not in the water. On a recent Friday, I paddled a borrowed Surfski 10+ miles out into 3 foot chop off Newport Beach, and then drove up to Big Bear Lake to do a little hiking. On Saturday, I did a 10 mile hike up to 10k feet. On Sunday and Monday, I did two more 8+ mile hikes at around 9k feet. Oddly enough, I felt pretty tired, sore, and kinda beat up.

Then I found Big Bear Mobile Massage, and treated myself to the best thing I've done for me in years!

Chelsea brought her gear to my house and proceeded to reset everything tight, sore, and out of balance, to better than factory specs (I swear I was 20 years younger when she finished)! She has a confident, intuitive touch and a marvelous massage-bedside manner. I felt that she really understood what my body (and spirit) needed, and she coached me with several stretches and exercises that I could do on my own, when we were done.

She is a true Renaissance Woman with a master's touch, who draws on her exceptional life experiences and training to provide a massage and healing experience that fit me perfectly. I strongly recommend her to anyone - whether they be athletic overachievers, weekend warriors, or anyone ready to remember what it feels like to relaxed, at peace, and whole again. Thank you,...

Our experience was honestly extremely disappointing, given the great reviews and high cost of the package I purchased (couple's getaway). The atmosphere, strawberries and champagne were lovely, but the massages were weak. Neither my partner nor I felt like the masseuses were very strong. Additionally, despite pushing softly, the person who gave my massage seemed to try to be working on my alignment. I'd be okay with this if they knew what they were doing, but my lower back has been so terribly thrown out since 20 minutes after I left that place on Sunday that I find her expertise dubious. I can't bend down, twist, sit/stand normally. It's horrible. I had told them in advance I have sciatica (though it was not flaring at the time of my massage), so I would expect them to take caution when working on alignment with that knowledge. I have never experienced this type of residual pain from a massage and I am concerned about potential damage. It's frustrating that this costly, once-in-a-blue-moon experience is going to end up costing me money in...

Update as of June 20. 2023 Seems like employees come and go at this place and only work once in a while. I had a wonderful massage by a girl name Haylee last month. When I contacted the owner to schedule 2 massages for next week the owner was rude and not helpful at all to look up the name. Even I had the exact date and time of my last massage. I message to owner several times and also called. Very slow response. Will have to take my regular business somewhere else.

I'm always a little hesitant to get a massage from a place that was not a personal reference. I found this place on the internet. I'm so glad I did make a appointment. Travis is one if not the best massage therapist I have ever met. The place is extremely clean and professional. I also booked facial with Katie. She is very knowledgeable about her products. I love that every massage room has a fireplace (electric). Even in the summer it made the rooms very inviting and it was easy to relax. In fact I just came back this week and booked 3 more appointments. Highly...
