Massage Therapy Works Reviews

My first therapist was not a good match for what I was looking for. Massage Therapy Works gave me a 50$ gift card for a future appointment, which is pending.

I used to come here a few years ago for a relaxation or a deep tissue massage and it was always great. I came here again last week and had a sports massage with Orion and it was amazing! This place is always great. I was dealing with some neck stiffness and soreness and I walked out floating on air.

I've been very happy with MTW. Ammon and Orion are both very kind guys who give a clinically helpful massage and can find the source of issues. Scheduling is easy and the staff are very helpful and welcoming. I have been going for 4 years and anticipate being a client for years to come.

Dave healed me with Acupuncture. I had an injury and underwent both physical and occupational therapy, and it didn't help with the pain at all. My friend suggested acupuncture, and our of desperation I tried it. To my astonishing surprise the pain started subsiding after I began my treatment. I highly recommend Dave, my faith in Western medicine and science is dying, my insurance should have covered this instead of the useless occupational or physical therapy that didn't help with my injury and pain at all like acupuncture I received from Dave here!!!!

I really like how easy it is to use their website to make an appointment. Also, it is helpful to read about each therapist and the different treatments available.

My first visit exceeded expectations. Very relaxing yet professional atmosphere. My practitioner was clearly qualified and highly effective. Investment in personal health and wellness well worth it. Looking forward to going back.

Amazing every time I go - whether for a scheduled session or capitalizing on a last-second opening thanks to the timely emails (brilliant management!). Each therapist as their open approach and aura, and I leave every session feeling all sorts of relief beyond what I knew I needed.

Very friendly , got me in quick, last minute on a Sunday! Very clean and safe. Relieved a headache I had had for days! Can t wait to return :)

I had a therapeutic massage from Orion today and it was absolutely fantastic. My neck and back were killing me and after I left Massage Therapy Works I felt immediately better. I strongly recommend their massages.

Eva was so wonderful! Great listener, not too chatty, super kind. Have felt better for days since! AND she plays lo fi beats, not pan flutes, which felt so welcoming.

Massage Therapy Works offers true healing. I was very stubborn to accept that I had tightness and posture issues, wanting to just get back to my hardcore workouts. But with patience and his clear grasp of the facts and how to present them, Richard demonstrated to me that I had certain imbalances that could be corrected by certain means, some of which were his excellent massages, but using the whole life approach to clinical healing, he showed me new stretches and resources I could use myself to improve.

I used to be a personal trainer, and I can vouch that he and the several other therapists I went to there, really know their stuff and can follow through on getting you where you want to be.

With their help, I have made drastic improvements in my quality of life - I sleep better, move better, walk with less discomfort (I used to complain a lot and avoid walking, "saving my energy" for busting my butt in the gym). And most importantly, my wife can again finally evenings without my incessant complaining about soreness that is "good for me."

I most sincerely recommend them and all the staff - truly clinical massage. And I hear they do good relaxing treatments as well, but I'm too high strung for that :)

This was my first message. I really like the atmosphere and I would definitely go again. I had Matt as my masseuse, he was amazing and so nice.

Massage Therapy Works is a great place! They have reopened with safety as a priority--and I am grateful! I just got a massage this week, and it was as good as ever. Keep up the great work!

I started going here on the recommendation of my massage therapist who closed his practice to travel. My massage therapist went to Bob, so he recommended me to Bob. I am a rock climber, ice climber, snow and water skier, hiker, etc. I expect my body to perform without pain. I am not looking for music and a body lotion rub. I am looking for body work aka fix the tension and pain so I can continue beating myself up. I have had chronic pain regularly due to sports injury. Bob helped me permanently fix some pain and successfully manage other injuries. I find that I have to go less often and experience generally less pain. Bob is very knowledgeable about the body and willing to explain/teach you in addition to fixing you. I highly recommend him to any sports athlete.

I know when I go to Massage Therapy Works, I will get relief from any pain that I am in. They always go above and beyond to not only help fix the problem, but also help keep it from recurring by addressing the actions that led to it.

I have been going to Massage Therapy Works for very long time. Richard is who I work with and he always tries different types of massages to see what works best for me at that visit. I appreciate the convenient location and I highly recommend their services to anyone in the area.

Booked a deep tissue massage. Phew!. Good stuff. Was not in pain after and felt much better.

Excellent service on almost all counts! Staff was extremely kind and helpful, deep tissue massage was thorough and rejuvenating, and follow-on discussion was informative and enlightening. The only small improvement i would suggest is that I felt I had no direction, and with limited experience with massages, I felt I was frequently wondering "should I be doing something right now?" and similar questions. Absolutely minuscule note relative to the overall excellent experience, and I definitely plan to return there in the future!

I have been coming to MTW sine the 98 when it was on the second floor in a small place and loved it then. I know how much Richard loves to help people feel relaxed and so to see his business grow into the space it is now is a wonderful site. All the staff is warm and welcoming. The therapists listen to what you need and what you are comfortable with. I have yet to have a bad experience. It s a must to stay healthy. The prices are not too bad he tries not to raise prices but just budget and treat yourself or loved one you won t regret it.

I have been receiving sports massages from Massage Therapy Works for the past five years. Rochele is great and I will definitely continue to see her. I highly recommend their services to both family and friends in the area.

Massage Therapy works is wonderful, so cozy and welcoming. I ve been to fancy spas all over the world, and they re great, but honestly I love coming back to this place. It s very simple but clean, quiet, unpretentious and calming atmosphere- kind of like a yoga studio. The therapists are consistently fantastic you can tell they are all very knowledgeable about anatomy/therapeutic massage and know exactly what they re doing, not just random or standard patterns. You can schedule online and they routinely have availability within the same day or two if needed. They also have all kinds of different appointment lengths which I appreciate.

It s tucked away in the back of an office building on the 3rd floor so a little hard to find the first time but just follow the signs and you ll be fine.

This was my 3rd time working with Ammon. He was extremely professional and listened to what I wanted to focus on. I strongly suggest the 60 minute therapeutic massage!

I'm a cellist and the musician life certainly takes its toll. I came here on a recommendation from a family member and my massage therapist Jessenia was nothing short of fantastic. The atmosphere was calm and comforting, and all the staff were friendly and warm. The massage itself was excellent and exactly what I needed-- Jessenia listened to my needs and worked her magic. Cannot recommend enough.

My husband & I both went to the same massage therapist, who was amazingly experienced and found and addressed all our tight spots!

Richard really has a gift. He understands how the body works, and takes the time to explain everything to you.

i treated myself to a 1.5 hour deep tissue massage. OUCH! But a really good ouch. Blain was professional, courteous and had hands made of steel. Got some of the kinks out for sure. I have the bruises to show for it. But again these are good bruises. My hip already feels so much better. Definitely going back in the near future.

They're the best I've ever been to. I love the online booking feature and it's just a great place to go!

Neil is fantastic. Really well trained and I'm looking forward to working with him going forward. So glad my neck hurt!

The Massage I had on Tuesday was beyond wonderful at the healing hands of Hanna. This left me feeling renewed and better informed about my health. Thank you for this awesome experience.
Blessings and Gratitude, Nina

They're very informative and have helped me understand and improve my stretching techniques. Now I have less muscle aches after physical activity.

I had been experiencing pretty bad back pain for several weeks when I finally made an appointment for a Deep Tissue massage with Eva at Massage Therapy Works. I didn't know the spa at all, but it was in a convenient location and had hours that worked in my schedule. Although MTW is located in an office building that lacks charm, the spa itself was warm, welcoming and lovely. Eva was very friendly and asked a lot of great questions about my back pain so she could spend the hour helping me the best way possible. She was friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. When I got off the table, I felt better than I had in weeks and felt like a whole new person the next day. Although the pain hasn't completely gone away, the before and after are exceptional and I really think my massage made the difference. I have a follow up appointment on the books and am so glad to have found MTW!

Always in good hands, only good surprises! Don't miss it in your visit to Boston.

Very relaxing experience. My husband and I were trying couple massage, and it was really good.

I've been going to Massage Therapy Works for years. While I've occasionally flirted with other massage places, I keep coming back to MTW because I know that I will get an exceptional massage in a lovely atmosphere no matter who I book. I never plan ahead for massages, and so I've had a wide variety of therapists over the years, and everyone they employ is talented, intuitive, and knowledgeable. It's a locally owned business and they do well retaining massage therapists, which says to me that they are also doing well by their employees, which is important to me. I highly recommend MTW for consistently the best service in greater Boston.

Had a massage for the first time here at MTW. It was a great experience. The massage was very relaxing and comfortable. Staff were very nice and place is very cool and calm . Definitely recommend coming here if you ever need a massage.

Friendly staff and excellent massage therapists. This is my go to place

Quiet, tranquil, and professional. Therapists are patient and know how to tailor experience to your needs.

Richard has been able to help me with many different physical issues, including chronic pain, and has made me stronger and more optimistic.

Relaxing environment, friendly people and skilld practitioners.

The overall experience was sooo great! Also they made me feel safe during the current pandemic time. I recommend therapist Ammon.

I was very satisfied with the service I received from Massage Therapy Works. I was really excited that my appointment was going to begin on time. I have been to other spa's where they offer massages and I have had to wait 20 minutes after my appointment was scheduled to start! Thanks for not making me wait.

I arrived for a birthday weekend celebration in Boston and this location was one of our stops. And they did not disappoint! It was great, courteous, clean, listened to our needs and addressed them. Thank you job well done!

It was great to see Stephanie and even better to get a massage! I almost forgot how much I needed it! The current Covid climate is new for us all but I felt very comfortable and safe every step of the way. From the initial contact via email to the actual visit, it was so carefully thought out with everyone s safety in mind. The only bad part was that I couldn t hug my massage therapist! I already scheduled my next massage and am looking forward to it.

I have now gotten three massages at Massage Therapy Works, and all three of them were excellent, although they were from different LMTs with different styles. I have also dealt with three different receptionists, all of whom were polite and professional. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

This place was great! My massage therapist was very knowledgeable and I had a nice & relaxing experience. I felt safe with the covid precautions as well. They have hand sanitizer at the door before you walk in and retake your temp. You also keep your mask on during the massage. Super friendly and professional overall.

I am always satisfied with the services I receive from Massage Therapy Works Inc. My appointments always begin on time and the decor makes it so relaxing. They are located very close to my house so I will continue to see them on a regular basis.

Hard to find but SO WORTH IT! Very professional and personable employees. Would highly recommend to anyone!!

Easy booking, relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. Jessenia is excellent and I always leave feeling much better.

This was my second visit to Massage Therapy Works, Inc. My first visit with Jessenia went so well I knew I would return. Jessenia and Eva are highly skilled therapists but are so approachable and relaxed that you feel comfortable and welcome. Massage Therapy Works is a great resource!

This is by far the best, most legit place to get a massage in the area. I have never had a bad massage therapist, and I have seen several of them. They clearly vet their employees. Prices are fair for services received.

I love this place - all the massage therapists are talented and really know what they are doing. I walk out feeling so much better. It's very mellow in there, too - even the environment makes me relax. Highly recommend!

Best place for therapeutic or simple massage In Cambridge !

This was the best massage experience I ever had, and it was during the pandemic. Stephanie was wonderful! She was extremely knowledgable, and gave me a unique experience based on the issues I explained to her. I will 100% go back.

Amazing place, therapist Matt was amazing. My boyfriend got a massage from Jessenia and he was also very happy. 10/10 would recommend. Also good pricing. Very nice, relaxing atmosphere. The decor is on point.

A great place for therapeutic and deep tissue massages. Jessenia and Meghan are great.

I really like how established Massage Therapy Works Inc as a company. It is a very clean and professional facility with a friendly and helpful staff. I recommend their massage services to anyone in the area needing a relaxing appointment.

I've been going to Massage Therapy Works for 8 years now and they have never failed to give me a good massage. Rochelle is wonderful! Many headaches and backaches have been abated by her expert skill. Even in these COVID times, I felt safe and enjoyed a much needed massage.

Had a massage which made me feel so relaxed. This is great value for your money with excellent service and clean place. Rochelle just was wonderful and knowledgeable with pressure and relief .

Massage Therapy Works is amazing. I have been getting treatments there for over six years to deal with scoliosis and sports injuries and always have an amazing experience, no matter the therapist that I see. I have been since the pandemic began and their space is compliant with all the sanitation and safety precautions to have a safe experience. I will continue to go there and highly recommend them!

Blain was amazing! I have had lots of massages over time for injuries and Blain s knowledge of anatomy is scholarly. I came in with an acute strain of my whole right side and the next day I was in no pain! Thank you Blain!

I have been a client of Massage Therapy Works for the past five years and I have used several different people. No matter whom I make my appointment with, they always provide great therapeutic and body work.

I have been a patient of Massage Therapy Works for about six years. I use the therapeutic and integrative body work. Richard does an amazing job and is so helpful each time I see him.

Friendly, on time, therapeutic, professional and all around relaxing experience.

Stephanie is the absolute best! Highlight of my week!

I have been coming to MTW for 12 years and the quality and professionalism is second to none. The knowledge of the practitioners has helped not only in my physical well being but furthering a deeper understanding of the other aspects of myself. I have and continue to grow.in mind body and spirit.

Super experienced masseuses who tailor treatment to your body's particular needs, highly recommend!

Bob is very knowledgeable and strong. I've struggled with chronic pain and he's been able to address a lot of my issues through gua sha, adjustments that I used to get from the osteopath and deep tissue work. This is a great place.

I ve been coming to massage therapy works for a few years and have seen several different therapists. I d highly recommend all of them. I most recently saw Matt, the experience can only be described as perfect. Perfect ambience, professionalism and skill. I ve moved further away from Somerville but continue to travel back just for massages.

Richard knows his stuff and has helped reduce the amount of pain in my shoulders and lower back. He has great technique and explains ways I can certain stretches to help reduce the pain on my own as well.

A cozy and quiet place, with music playing softly in the background and lightly scented room to put you at ease. My massage therapist, Matt, was lovely. I left leaving mellow, pleasantly sleepy, and rejuvenated. I also do appreciate the oil not being scented and overly greasy. Worth coming here monthly to escape reality, even for an hour.

This was my first massage, and Cate made it a wonderful, relaxing experience. She made me feel at ease and was very attentive, working a lot of tension out of my shoulders and back. Great experience.

Both of my therapist were knowledgeable and great..I plan on making monthly appointments soon.

The whole team is amazing, a little oasis in Davis Sq!

The massage therapists are committed to healing your body.

I had a great massage yesterday with Rich. I was having some shoulder pain and tightness and I'm amazed by how much relief I've felt, especially after waking up today. Thank you!

Had a prenatal massage at 19 weeks with Hanna. Was so relaxing that I booked two more appointments! Can't wait to go back.

Everyone here is so thoughtful and caring. With their help my quality of life has improved so much, I can't thank them enough.

Jeffrey really takes the time to understand you and your goals, he's very skilled and caring.

I was very happy with everything: warm and welcoming environment, professional service with a smile, and I couldn't ask for better than my therapist, Rochelle; she was great.
I highly recommend MTW. There can't be a better place to go to.

This place takes all COVID precautions so I felt very safe and cared for during my massage. I highly recommend Massage Therapy Works and will return. Stephanie was amazing!

Had a wonderful massage here with Stephanie. My goal was to help relieve a persistent knot in my back and overall relaxation. In my 75 minute massage, she was able to finally relieve this stubborn knot with some techniques that others have tried. I will definitely be back because it s hard to find a therapist who s able to relieve that specific tension, it s almost completely gone. Their prices are reasonable as well. Just think the place itself could use a little facelift and clean up, and the room itself was a little bare. Other than that, will recommend and be back

This is my second trip to MTW for a prenatal massage and can t recommend highly enough! Easy to schedule and the front desk staff is really pleasant. Great safety procedures and cleanliness. My friend suggested I book with Stephanie and I came out feeling like a new person even at this late stage of pregnancy. Will
Absolutely be back!

I have actually been been here multiple times and the seri

Amazing therapists, and awesome service. Their COVID Protocols are excellent. Hanna is the best!

I was never one for massages growing up but a couple of years ago I hurt my knee while I was training for a race and thought I'd give a sports massage a try. First of all, I left being able to walk after limping around for a week and second, I had a new love of massages. I've seen several of the therapists on and off throughout the last couple years and finally decided that I'm a grown adult and that self care needs to be budgeted into my life in the form of monthly massages with Rochelle. Everyone I've seen there is very friendly and laid-back but knowledgeable but Rochelle is the perfect mix of pressure but not pain and conversational but just reads the situation well. I also like that they have an incredible variety of services and times so you can plan what is best for you and your wallet.

Had a great massage and consultation with Matt, would recommend and go again

Great place great massage and I don t like massages! Very friendly folks, clean and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend

Wonderful Staff from the front desk crew to the therapists. I'll be going back!

I've been coming here and seeing Blaine for a few years now. I first started coming when I was in school, and could take advantage of their student discount. It's usually pretty quiet, I've never seen it too busy, though I do sometimes need to book in advance. The online scheduler and calling the front desk usually works pretty well for scheduling and payment. Blaine is great, very knowledgable about what he does and always checks in about pressure/pain. Sue is very friendly also.The only thing I dislike is the disposable dixie cups that go along with the water jug. Is there another, more sustainable option?

My therapist is definitely a healer, and has both the knowledge to tell you why you
are having your particular issues, and a certain intuition that guides him to just the
right spot, with the perfect amount of pressure!

I was nervous about getting a massage but felt very safe at Massage Therapy Works. They had air purifiers in every room, they took my temperature before I checked in, and the therapist was wearing gloves through the entire massage. They've been open now for 3 months without issues, so they're clearly doing something right!

I had SUCH a wonderful massage from Rochele - she was thoughtful, kind, and helped me have a relaxing massage even with a huge bruise on my back from a fall! She helped me understand how to take care of it too.

I had a great experience, a very friendly staff, relaxing environment, and my stiff neck and shoulder feel better already. I ll definitely be going back, and would recommend anyone looking for a massage give them a try.

I did a 1 hour therapy massage with Stephanie and it was great! She was super knowledgeable and was able to help me a lot with my shoulder pain. Highly recommend!
