Massage in Durham

“We visited the 2 person salt cave for my husband’s birthday. It was such an amazing & relaxing experience. The staff are wonderful. Thank you!“

“Michael seeks to understand exactly how I am perceiving signals from my body, and then proceeds to tune into those signals, using his body to relax and strengthen my body.

Having given and received a lot of bodywork over the years, I found Michael’s approach to be unique and his methodology to be effective. I highly recommend Michael’s services to anyone who is experiencing pain, or just desiring a little tuneup.“

“I have used Upright Athlete both for physical therapy and for strengths training. I seriously broke my right ankle (pilon fracture) in April 2023, had surgery, was non-weight bearing in a wheelchair for three months. And I started physical therapy with Gabe Dimock in July 2023. He has been amazing -- thoughtful, supportive, kind, encouraging, and flexible and always took time to answer questions. Ten months later (!!) after physical therapy for twice a week, I finally graduated over to the other side of the gym and have been doing strengths training with Gabe since May 2024. Am very grateful to be back to walking, hiking and building back my strength and stamina and I am so glad I chose to work with Upright Athlete. Highly, highly recommend them!“

“I stumbled upon their Instagram page and immediately knew that The Body Games was something I had to add to my regimen. This is a good supplement to my indoor cycling membership as it includes strength training. DJ and Dominque have been nothing but friendly AND encouraging. They encourage me to push myself, assist with my form, and actively help during the work outs. The environment is very inclusive. You will see people of all shapes, sizes, and ages there. I highly recommend this place! Plus it's a locally-owned Durham business!“

“I tried the Relaxation Room and Red Light Therapy and I loved both! The red light helped reduce my upper back and shoulder pain and the Relaxation Room was the escape that I needed!“

“As soon as you walk in you'll know this is the real deal. Julie did a great job designing the atmosphere.“

“I reached out to John asking for somewhat of a miracle when I tightened up to the point of not being able to walk the week before my first race. John was great at diagnosing the issue and giving me exercises to work on in order to get me back up and running in under a week!“

“I'm surprised there aren't any reviews for this place! The facility is clean and a very relaxing environment. Online booking is a breeze. My massage therapist, Tiffany, was attentive and made sure to ask about pressure and areas to focus on. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Carolina Birth and Wellness are incredible. We took the Childbirth 101 class with them which was super helpful and gave us more confidence about how to make well-informed decisions as we prepared for birth.

We had a planned homebirth that did not work out because I went over 42 weeks. We had to pivot to a hospital induction which was a bummer, but ultimately the right decision. Before we went to the hospital, Maris talked me through how to navigate hospital birth induction and the various interventions. I felt really nervous about maintaining my goals for a low-intervention birth and together we basically revised my entire birth plan to accommodate the pivot and I went to the hospital feeling so much better about everything. I had a plan and even though I hate hospitals, I felt ready for anything.

Ashton was on call during our birth, and we cannot sing her praises enough! I ended up having a pretty traumatic labor experience for the first 7-8 hours, very abnormal 15/10 pain level contractions that were stacking together with no time for breaks in between. The entire time, Ashton was right there doing all the counter pressure techniques, massaging, affirming, just basically being the calming and grounding presence both my husband and I needed to make it through and offering so much pain relief.

We had to pivot so many times because nothing was working to bring the baby out, so I ended up with almost every intervention and had to give up my dream of an unmedicated birth. Ashton was there the whole time helping and guiding me when I needed to brainstorm, process, scream, cry, you name it. I’m not sure I could have done it without her.

Ashton also encapsulated my placenta and I learned so much about placentas during that process. She did it all in our home and is clearly a pro.

From start to finish CBW and Ashton/Maris in our specific experience were professional and personable throughout pregnancy, birth, and in the first few days postpartum. We would highly recommend them as doulas and the services we received beyond doula care (childbirth class and placenta encapsulation)

Thank you Ashton and Maris for being amazing people and doulas!!“

“Jameson provided one of the most satisfying, restorative, and relaxing massages of my life. If you're comparing different massage services in Durham, stop your search now and simply seek out Jameson. His technique is derived from a deep and diverse skill set, is highly calculated, and applied with extreme attention to detail. Jameson not only knows what he's doing but also why he's doing it. His education in human anatomy and biology enables next-level body whispering that unlocks a level of equilibrium you've gone years without feeling. Jameson will make your body SING! Thank you so much, Jameson.“

“referred a friend to April, she said "she was Awesome", and loved the space!“

“I came to Toby in search of a Rolfer/body integration specialist recently and was very happy with the experience! There's a free 30-minute consultation, in which he'll evaluate your needs and do a little hands-on work. He ended up referring me to a place that's more PT-based, but I so appreciated his time. Toby clearly knows his stuff, so I highly recommend him!“

“Jessica, Faith and Theresa are knowledgeable, skilled massage therapists who've worked as MTs for almost 10 years. All three have have extensive anatomical knowledge. Faith and Jessica are also nurses. Jessica is even certified in medical massage. Theresa teaches at Carolina Massage Institute so she has countless hours of hands-on experience. Highly recommend all three! Full disclosure- I've never experienced Faith's massage, but I know one of her clients who is very pleased! One thing to note though: they book up in advance! It is difficult to book a session with them with only a few days notice. Book two weeks to a month in advance. It's worth the wait.“

“This is a great hair salon. The owner is extremely knowledgeable, talented and dedicated. She prioritizes customer service above all and provides top-notch service with care. She chooses and trains her staff thoughtfully and consistently. Both my daughter and I love going there. Highly recommend if you have difficulty finding a great hairstylist and need knowledgeable people to take care of you!“

“It’s was very good experience. I’ve gained a lot of knowledge and tools that will help me moving forward.it also made me look at myself in the way I should as I’m working on getting back to the being the man I’m supposed to be. This journey that I’m on to be a better version of myself have gotten easier because of this experience and I’m grateful.I’ve already recommended you to family and friends and will continue to do so.Thanks again“

“She is very good.. I came from Greensboro, but the service I received was excellent. I am going to schedule another one. Thank you for all you are doing.“

“If you need therapeutic pain relief, Allan is your go-to expert. I’ve been visiting him periodically for twenty years, and he has been a lifesaver for my chronic back pain and other muscle and tendon issues. Whenever my pain flares up, Allan works his magic, providing significant relief.

Allan takes the time to listen to my concerns, ensuring he effectively targets the problem areas. His professionalism, deep knowledge of anatomy, and expert massage skills are unparalleled. If I could give him 20 stars, I absolutely would. I highly recommend Allan to anyone seeking therapeutic pain relief. You won’t be disappointed!“

“If stress is undermining your quality of life, I would highly recommend Julio as your massage therapist. He works with a slow flowing energy that is deeply healing. He addresses physical complaints as he aligns the energy body. I find his techniques very therapeutic and relaxing.“

“Could not ask for a more skilled and more personable chiropractor. I have been going to chiropractors all my life. Dr. Leidich is one of the best.“

“Allison is a skilled, knowledgeable, and respectful massage therapist. I definitely recommend her - and her heated massage table was a lovely bonus!“

“I have only had one appointment with Kevin so far. But I was so pleased with the experience I feel compelled to to leave a review!

Scheduling on the website is easy, and he allows cancellations through the same website/email system which is convenient. He is pretty busy, but by changing my selection to 30 minute massage I was able to find an opening that was only a few days out.

I have been working on muscular back pain for several years now, but there is one area where I keep getting painful knots even though I have good mobility/posture and good core strength. Kevin listened to me tell him all my symptoms and what I've already tried, and had tons of information and ideas to share with me. Didn't take him long to find the exact problem areas and do some good work on them.

One day later my back definitely feels different in a good way! Looking forward to seeing what kind of results I can get with a few more appointments.“

“Thelma is a fantastic electrologist and a very kind person. She is flexible and accommodating with scheduling. I'm definitely pleased with the results so far. I recommend her to anyone looking for high-quality, fairly priced electrolysis.“

“Carla is awesome. If you’re looking for a real massage not just someone “applying lotion”, sign up asap. She’s the real deal.“

“Graham is The Kid!!! Seriously knows his techniques and understand physiology what’s going on. Understands chronic pain and how to find room to increase flexibility. Love the style of Thai on the floor wearing clothes!! Great can’t say enough good things about this biz!!!“

“I have been using Nichole, as a massage therapist, for several years. I have found Nichole to be very knowledgeable and professional with each visit. After my having physical needs at times through the years, Nichole’s therapy has greatly helped me get through each situation. I highly recommend Nichole as a massage therapist!“
