Desperate for a same-day massage, but not wanting to drive for 30 minutes or fight traffic, I turned to Yelp, which is where I found Tina’s Therapeutic Massage.
We spoke over the phone, and in less than an hour, I was on my way to her studio. For me, the drive was only 11 minutes, and I didn’t have to worry about traffic.
Parking was free and easy. I parked right next to the building, went up the stairs, and found her suite without any trouble.
The building is older, but once you get into Tina’s space, you feel transported to another dimension entirely.
Tina took some time to find out the specific areas that needed the most attention before we moved into her massage room.
I undressed, got comfortable, and Tina went to work on my body. She did trigger-point therapy and stretching, which was new for me, but it left me feeling like a new woman.
For weeks I’ve had pain in the back of my right leg, but after Tina worked on me, the pain went away — almost miraculously. I also have more range of motion after just one hour with her.
When I got ready to leave, she gave me a bottle of water and a little gift bag with a sample of her handmade lip gloss.
She also explained her rewards program, which I’m already taking advantage of by referring my friends (an extra 15 minutes for each referral) and giving her my birthdate (an extra 30 minutes!)
I’m looking forward to going back as often as I can. It hasn’t even been 24 hours yet, and I can’t believe how good I feel today.
NOTE: Tina opened this location in February 2023, so she doesn’t have many reviews yet, but before long, you’ll see her reviews increase and her calendar filling up. She’s phenomenal at...
Read moreAbout once every year I get a massage and have done this for the past nine years. She is the first massage therapist that I would ever recommend coming back to a second time. Traditionally I only go to a massage therapist once because the service generally is not that great. Tina, however, is unlike any other. She specifically targeted areas that were problematic for me as a result of daily training. She worked so hard that I could literally feel my lower body getting warm as she deeply massaged my upper body. And she went outside of her way to keep me an extra 15 minutes so that she could properly work on both sides of my body. She worked on focused stretches to relieve tension. She actually wanted me to be quiet because I had been talking quite a bit and reduced the effectiveness of her massage. She was the first massage therapist to ever be bold enough to recommend that I stop talking so that I could get a better massage. Realize that she was more focused on her work and doing a superb job that she passed up the opportunity to talk with me for the hour. She got a $50 tip and was worth every penny. I plan to have her massage employees of ours as a result of their good work and her dedication. Praise...
Read moreTina is absolutely fantastic. My visit to her studio was in part to get a traditional massage but also with the hope that she could deal with some old nagging injuries that no medical doctor or physical therapists have been able to improve. During the initial visit we spend some time really going over the issues and it was immediately evident that she both clearly understood the problem but also began discussing the path to help resolve it.
My visits with Tina include traditional deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy and lots of stretching. This is precisely the kind of treatment I have been looking for and haven't found until Tina. In a word Tina is a Healer and she not only addresses the issues I have raised but she communicates with me during the session as she uncovers other areas of concern and her approach to treating them.
I can't say enough about her as a person and a practitioner other than to say she is simply the best I have...
