Reset

*Fair warning: I don’t get chiropractic adjustments. This review is for massage therapy only.*
For several years, I had a membership at Massage Heights. After my favorite therapists kept leaving, I left too. I would book ad hoc massages here and there at various places around Des Moines, but never really found a regular LMT I liked again.
Fast forward to a few months ago. I was talking with some of the girls at my gym and one of them mentioned her excellent LMT, Ben, who was now working at Reset. I wondered… could this be the Ben who I used to LOVE seeing at Massage Heights? I’m sure you can guess how this story ends: I am now reunited with the best LMT ever and I am one happy camper.
Reset has a monthly membership plan just like I used to have at Massage Heights, but I like dealing with Reset a LOT more. Appointments are easy to make; you can request them online too, which I love. One note of caution: because it’s a massage/​chiropractic office, don’t go in expecting a super zen, spa-​like setting — you can hear outside noise through the door and the lights aren’t super dim. That doesn’t bother me because I’m not there for relaxation — I’m there for the knots in my muscles to get pummeled into submission by a super knowledgeable LMT who gives amazing deep tissue massages and targets exactly the places where I build up tension.
Though I’ve only seen Ben at Reset, I’ve heard from the girls at my gym that the other therapists are really terrific, so I feel a lot more confident recommending Reset than I ever did recommending Massage Heights (where the quality of the massage varied wildly by which therapist you saw). The last time I checked, they had an introductory offer on their website — definitely worth checking out!
