John Matthews Massage Therapy

Magic Hands and crazy intuitive… this man is the REAL DEAL folks!

Excellent therapeutic massage! He was able to address several problem areas in my one hour massage as well as give me some techniques that I can do at home to maintain the effects of the massage. I highly recommend!

Beyond thrilled with my massage today. I went to the ER with a migraine a week ago and didn’t get sent home with any medication to control pain between doctors visits so I decided to try getting a massage in the interim. Solely based on Unilocal reviews I decided to try John Matthews Massage and as I stated before, I’m very happy with my massage. Before I even got there, the technology to choose my time slot, prepay, and receiving directions to the location and reminders of appointment time were key. Beyond that I came in and explained my migraines and from there I can safely say that I had the best, most specific massage of my life to help control my pain. I’m very pleased and will definitely be back.

Excellent massage! I went ahead and booked my second one as soon as he had finished. John uses a variety of techniques and the whole experience is very relaxing. Convenient location. Love that he offers a 45 minute session, since I don’t always have over an hour to spare and 30 minutes just isn’t quite enough. I will be back regularly!

So happy I don’t have to search any further for a great massage therapist. Just moved to Charlotte last fall and I have tried a couple places. Waste of time and money. John was extremely professional and knowledgeable, but at the same time made me feel very welcome and comfortable.

I waited until the day after to leave my review, just so I wouldn’t let my euphoric feelings cloud my judgement. I can say, however, that this was the most comprehensive and therapeutic massage I’ve ever received. I really appreciated the combination of techniques and methods used, as well as the open dialogue so that we were always on the same page. The place has a very Zen like feeling and the heated bed was a nice touch. I’ll definitely be back!

I received my massage from John today and it was fantastic. He was very professional. I have worked at a massage place before so I am very familiar with the massage experience. Worth every penny!

This was the best back massage ever. I went in with a painful and stiff lower back that developed from a lot of running on asphalt. John was courteous and friendly. He took the time to learn about my needs. The place was clean, cozy and at the right temperature. He worked his magic and thanks to him, I can run pain-​free again. I had not expected this level of results.

I love going to see John. He has such a casual demeanor and easy going nature. The room is warm and comfortable. He is great with all kinds of clients and I highly recommend him to my athletic friends. He just has a great way of finding and breaking up adhesions I just did not know were there. If you are muscular and have an athletic build it is sometimes hard to fit someone who really knows how to work an manipulate the muscles and fascia. He is a master at his craft but you don’t have to be an athlete to he him. He truly has a style that fits everyone.

John was professional and knowledgeable while still maintaining a caring touch! As I am a former Massage Therapist, I am very hard to please, but he was amazing and did not disappoint! I went in on short notice due to back pain and he addressed it from every possible angle. I already booked another appointment and so should you!

I’ve been seeing John for almost 18 months and he’s still the best!

There really aren’t enough good things to say about John Matthews massage. Just an incredibly knowledgeable masseuse and a really nice person. I have gone to John for injury related, relaxation, and deep tissue therapy sessions and he just crushes it. I have given gift certificates to his studio as gifts and the recipients were equally impressed. All around fantastic.

John Matthews Massage Therapy is the best in Charlotte. I started going to John about two years ago and have always had a total, mind body experience. John knows how to ask the right questions to help target the areas of your body that maybe ailing. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an above average massage.

If you have target areas you need worked on or what John calls «traveling companions» like knots that won’t go away, John is your guy. He knows his stuff and it truly shows in his massage. I have never had such an attentive massage before and I am so glad to have found him.

I just moved to Charlotte from Austin, where I had experienced wonderful massage therapy at Myo Massage. I have a pinched occipital nerve, and needed something beyond a «spa» massage. Based on Unilocal reviews, I chose John, and he was every bit as good as anything I had experienced in Austin. He used multiple modalities to address my muscle and nerve problems with just the right pressure. He also used hot stones, hot towels, etc. to increase the effectiveness. I highly recommend him, and agree with these other reviews. I’ve just found my new therapist in Charlotte.

I have had several massages with John and liked every single one of them. First of all, this is not your run-​off-​the-​mill approach to massage. John is very meticulous about finding out what your aches and pains are to offer targeted therapy for your particular needs. While the massage is therapeutic, John preserves the experience of pleasure by the use of aromatherapy and hot stones. He definitely makes sure that the pressure strength is to your liking. I prefer my massages deep and intense — and John can certainly deliver.
The logistics of booking the appointment are a breeze. No need to call, you can book online and adjust the schedule to your needs. You will receive an email or a text co confirm the details. John’s calendar lets you know what slots are available. You can pay at the time of booking or pay right after your massage. The office is in a very cozy part of town which is a pleasure to visit by itself. You can grab a nice meal or the best drink in town at Soul Gastrolounge just next door after your massage.

I just moved to Charlotte and after driving two days to get here, I was in need of a massage! I found John Matthews on Unilocal,and every good thing you read here is accurate. He made me comfortable immediately, we talked a lot about the chronic pain issues I have, and decided what to focus on. The room itself is dark and cozy, very relaxing. They have parking in the back and the location is so convenient. I felt amazing for days after I left. I’ll definitely be back!

I’m a repeat customer of John’s. I even make the drive from Charleston, SC for an appointment. He’s highly aware of whats going on with your body. If you forget to tell him of a place that has been hurting — low and behold he will find it. I walk away in a wonderful daze each time. He’s a good listener and don’t be afraid to tell him that you need more pressure or less. He truly is the best therapist — I’ve ever been too!

I asked one of my friends was John really strong, she exclaimed, «oh my God, yes!, he mixes in stretching, yoga breathing and massage.» Wait, you had me at OH!
So I made my appointment and decided to check it out for myself.
I loved my massage, It was more than a massage, it was mostly bodywork, which I needed. The room is dark and cozy, He uses hot stones, warm towels, aromatherapy and really cold eye compresses. It was awesome and this is one of those things that I might just treat myself occasionally but he is so reasonable, I can afford to go often.
What I really liked was we talked briefly afterwards, he let me ask questions and he was on mark on assessing me. It was some issues I already had been to physical therapy for.
He is also really respectful and never made me feel uncomfortable. It was way more than a frou frou massage.

Matthew’s Massage is nothing short of spectacular tranquility!
The environment is very professional, ambient, and comfortable… like stepping into a zen bubble… Ahhhhh…
John is THE person to see for your body aches and pains. Extremely knowledgeable of the muscular system and its interactions with your overall well being! (Which I find to be lacking with many massage therapists)
Definitely go to Matthew’s Massage to get help with problem areas such as sports injuries, work stress, muscle tension, or just as a treat for your body; it’s the only body you have, so listen to the signs of conflict and pain, and do it good by allowing John to work the toxins out. The attentiveness and delicate yet accurate nature of his massages and therapy, is top notch physically, spiritually and therapeutically.
You will be refreshed and your body will thank you! Mine has thanked me tenfold and I would see him weekly if I could…
Go see him… treat a friend, loved one, or stranger…(heehee… ;) to a session or two even!
Tis a great gift to keep in mind for the holidays! Can’t wait until my next session!
