Atlanta Massage Retreat — Local services in Sandy Springs

I have the opportunity to frequently get massages, and this ranks in the top 5 of the many that I have received. Definitely worth a visit.

I was in Atlanta for the weekend with some unexpected free time AND a sore back. I had been to the chiropractor for treatment several times over the past few weeks, but was getting no relief. Based on the prior reviews, I decided to give Atlanta Massage Retreat a try, even passing on using my Massage Envy membership.

Upon arrival, I was a bit surprised by the third floor business office location. But other than that, it was a terrific experience. Personally, I enjoy a vigorous deep tissue work over. And while I’ve had more intense sessions, this did not disappoint.

As is typical, I described my ailments to LaTrissha, who did my massage. I also ranked my issues and told her to only move on to the next when she sensed the area was responding. If we didn’t cover all, that was fine. Well, we did cover all and I’m happy to say this is the best my back has felt in several months. She also gave me relief working the nerve from my lower back to my knee. Something my chiropractor has failed to do. The result is terrific.

LaTrissha must have professional training beyond massage. She incorporated some mild stretching and found the exact spot in my back causing the problem. She has me wishing I was staying longer in Atlanta!!

I highly recommend a visit. Thank...

Best massage I've ever had. Hands down, no contest.

Jimmy found this place through Groupon. I used the online booking tool to schedule my 50-minute massage, which was really great - to see how full the schedule was and get an idea of good times, as well as easily book my own.

When I arrived, I was a little worried by the age of the building and the construction being done outside (including jackhammering). I made my way to the corner of the 2nd floor where AMR is located.

The receptionist was friendly and handed me the paperwork to fill out. Latrissha was also there to say hello. They both explained that they'd try to call to reschedule on account of the jackhammering. I explained that as long as it wasn't a screaming child, I wouldn't mind.

I explained where I needed attention, and she focused on that. I had a hurts-so-good moment, when I thought for a second about asking her to ease up, but then realized that's how tense I was and that I really needed that much pressure. Despite the jackhammering, it was a perfectly relaxing experience.

At the end, the receptionist took my groupon and saved it for when my husband came in for the other use. I appreciated that they handled it, making that process less stressful as well.

Since then, Jimmy has gotten me a few more massages, and I've gotten a few more for him. These are the real deal - great pressure, really relaxing. Service is...

I recommend Latrissha; she's very friendly and thoughtful, and she's respectable small business owner. Good price for this area, especially when you sign up for 6 massages over a 6-month period, which gets the price down to $50 per 1-hour massage. No frills or spa experience. She is very knowledgeable about muscles and can apply a good amount of pressure. For prenatal massages, she does side-lying. When she was working on getting out some tightness in my back, I think she could improve by rubbing another area at the same time as putting pressure on the tight spot to distract me from hurting. Other massage therapists I've been to have had a water cooler to remind me to drink water right after, and I think that would be a good improvement as well. Overall, unlike many massage therapists, she was willing and able to go under my shoulderblades to get problem areas, and I trusted...
