“Alex has remarkable massage techniques that get rid of pain in shortest time period possible. I came to him after a car accident when I could not sit or stand without an acute pain. My pain was alleviated after the very first session and I was able to return to my everyday activities.
I tried other massage therapists before to treat my neck and back issues from my computer job but never had such amazing results like with Alex. He is truly talented in what he does. I highly recommend him!“
“Got recommended 360 massage by a friend, and it was hands down the best experience I've had with a massage therapist. Filled out a pre exam report of my issues and concerned areas. When I arrived Brent confirmed it with me and talked to me about what he was going to do through the session. It was 110% what I needed. As another review I read, wrote: I felt like a mushy noodle afterwards. I'm a big guy but Brent still got it done!“
“Great services, the owner April is fantastic and the most efficient person I know. All the staff and providers are extremely friendly, competent, compassionate. And Coemala is the BEST massage therapist....!“
“I received Swedish Massage twice from Kate Aarden this year - once in February, and another time 2 days ago. Kate's office is exceptionally clean. She really pays attention to hygiene. Many of the surfaces are wrapped in thick plastic. There is a thick, clear mat on the floor by the massage table that may be made of vinyl (?), but it looks like it would be very easy to wipe it down between sessions. Kate's rate for a Swedish Massage is quite good for the quality of work that she does. I'm actually amazed that she is able to keep her rates so low. I have 7 allergies, some of them rather unusual ones, and the one that often matters the most when receiving massage is that I am heavily allergic to coconut oil or palm oil - either ingested or topical. I will break out in angry red dots all over my skin if I eat this or if it is put on my skin. My 94-year-old Grandmother, with whom I am close, has the same allergy. Kate typically uses coconut oil for her clients, but she was very considerate about using the oils that I had brought in, which I had blended and mixed myself. I typically use an almond oil, jojoba oil, or apricot oil for my carrier oil, and I update my essential oil collection periodically to include pure essential oils that have lovely scents and/or therapeutic qualities. I enjoy mixing my own oils, and I almost always mix and bring my own oil when I receive massage therapy. Kate was also very sweet and considerate about wrapping my hat in a towel so that she wouldn't get oil on it. My head gets cold very easily. Kate was very welcoming and kind, and I felt comfortable with her immediately. We chatted a little bit, and we had a couple of nice, brief chats, but she wasn't too chatty and I was able to relax (without chat) for the larger part of each massage that I received from Kate. The sheets were very comfortable, and the process was simple and clearly articulated when I needed to turn over to the other side of my body in the middle of the massage. Kate chose sheets with lovely patterns - the first time the sheets were a pretty green color with leaves and fronds, and the second time the sheets were a deep blue with a circular pattern. The music that Kate chose was so lovely that I actually asked her to write down the names of the musicians for me. Kate told me that they won a Grammy. The music is entirely instrumental, and it is an excellent music choice for Swedish Massage. The names of the musicians are unusual and I don't recall them at the moment, but Kate did write the names down for me after my massage. Usually when I am reviewing a massage therapist here on yelp, I mention that I graduated from the Port Townsend School of Massage myself in 2016, however, I have never practiced massage professionally. Kate and I both missed the environment of massage therapy school, since it was a mostly very positive experience for both of us, and we got to give and receive so many massages to/from our fellow students! Kate has been practicing massage for over 30 years now! I am in awe of her. I really admire that. That's unusual. According to Massage Magazine, the average Massage Therapy career lasts around 6 years. Kate has been working for over 5 times that long! Kate let me know that she was very open to feedback. I really appreciated that and I did ask her for lighter pressure on a few areas, which she did. For my second massage, she even remembered to avoid my face from the first massage that I had received from her over a month prior! My face is the only area of my body that I always ask massage therapists to completely avoid; I never could stand having fingers on my face. Kate mentioned that facial massage can be very helpful for people with TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) issues, and I do remember learning that when I was in school. Kate did some wonderful work around my scapulae during both massages, and I certainly left feeling very relaxed. In my first intake session with Kate, I asked her if she receives massage from her own massage therapist. She said that she does not, becaus“
“Great massage as usual great for my sports fatique and muscle tension which I get more of as I get older and older.“
“I so appreciated Dr. Aaron’s skill and expertise. I experienced immediate improvement, and am so thankful.He has a great way of integrating his approach with patients, and sees them as a whole person.I look forward to continuing with him, and definitely recommending him.“
