Great Hands Massage — Local services in Houston

Five stars for the value of their service. It is a lit, open space, with ~12 LazyBoy recliners. The practitioners are immigrant asian men. You enter into a Spartan waiting area to check in & sit down. Real simple layout. Brightly lit. No budget for Massage Envy-like atmosphere, here. But my athletic Asian friend insisted to look past the Spartan accommodations & give it a chance. They specialize in deep tissue reflexology chair massage. What does that mean? If you read Dara Torres autobiography, the Olympic swimmer who competed intentionally at age 41, she shares her extensive use of deep tissue massage. I'm on a budget, this is my way to mimic pro athlete recovery. I have found most chair reflexology shops on Belliare Blvd shy away from aggressive deep tissue technique some people dislike slight pain & discomfort ( especially first timers! ) when aggressive pressure is used on the feet. The payoff of deep tissue technique is that warm euphoria that radiates from your body & feet for about an hour after you are finished. If you are an athlete or on your feet for work ( shout out to TMC nurses & CNA's ) this is worth the experience. Oh yeah, pick up a boba smoothie ( half sugar, please ! ) from any of the dozens of shops along Belliare Blvd. This place has been discovered, you need to call & make a reservation. Please tip, $10-20, for this valuable service. Wear a loose tank top & shorts for best...

I’ve been coming here for years. I’m a massage snob and I’m also quite ticklish so I’m super picky about where I go. I need a place that has many therapists who 1. Know what they’re doing and 2. Actually have enough strength to press firm enough on me to not trigger my ticklish involuntary giggles. This is really the place to come for a great massage. All their staff take their work seriously. You’ll have to find a therapist you like but once you find that one, just request that person each time you make an appointment. I’m also quite impressed with the level of customer service that the two managers have. It’s uncommon for places in Chinatown/Viet town to have such friendly staff. Overall, having tried every place up and down Bellaire, I’d say this is the best option and a no brainer. I bring friends from time to time and so far no one has ever left...

My family and I came here last night and we were extremely disappointed. We use to come here all the time a few years ago before we moved to Cypress. It was my birthday and my parents wanted to get a nice massage, so we went here due to prior experience of it being really good. I don't know why they changed the way the massage, but now it's SO painful. We got the foot massage and it wasn't even a massage at all. They kept applying extreme pressure on the pressure points and it was TOO MUCH.. it was extremely uncomfortable. The masseuse kept asking if I was okay but he wasn't changing how he was massaging. I expected rubs but instead it felt like I was getting a painful acupuncture. We wanted to give a local place that we loved our business, but no more. They were nice and all but their technique is...
