A Better Massage

I’ve been coming to A Better Massage for a while now and feel that the four different massage therapists I’ve seen have all done a wonderful job. The therapists have always been on time, had the room cleanly prepared, and discussed what areas have been causing me discomfort before the massage.
When I first started coming here it was for deep tissue work (years of desk slouching = pain in the neck). When getting the work done you are able to let the therapist know how if you need more or less pressure. I recently had some surgery and I’ve had massages that really helped reduce my post surgical pain. If you’re looking for a place that can focus on therapeutic massages this is the place I’d recommend.

Had my first massage here the other day — got a same day appointment which was nice, location was fine with parking, but I had a massage by Sarah and for the majority of it was thinking «it’s got to be over soon» and «at some point something will feel good and be worth the money», but it didn’t get better, and right when I walked out I was texting my friend how awful it was. Also, the dressing/​undressing/​waiting is a part of the minutes you’re paying for.

I have been a client of the therapists at A Better Massage since shortly after an auto accident in 2004 that left me with a compromised disc and trauma and scar tissue around my sciatic nerve.
I was referred to them by a neurologist who was treating me for those injuries, and the results have been nothing less than amazing. I normally see Jackie or Rachel. The results of a visit are nothing less than amazing. I tend to wait until the discomfort has my back in knots from my shoulders to my butt, but they have magic hands and elbows! I might walk out feeling bruised from the deep tissue massage, but within a few hours, the discomfort is gone, and I feel normal for a few weeks.
I have always recommended the staff at ABM, and will continue to do so. The entire staff is amazing. My only complaint has nothing to do with them, its that my insurance doesn’t cover massage!

Went for my second time. Both were great massages but I had two different therapists and both took a while to actually come into the room. I ended up getting about a 50 minute massage when I paid for an hour. The massage was so good that I didn’t mind, but they might want to pay attention to the clock.

I loves me my Rachel! I used to live in Gainesville and this was the place for my massages. When I was set up with Rach (that’s right, people, R-​A-​C-​H-​E-​L), I didn’t look anywhere else. I love deep tissue massages and it’s hard to find massage therapists who do it well (I’m not sure why either!). But she was awesome and always delivered. I always felt slightly drunk and clumsy after my massages, which was the ultimate mark of a good massage… and had it each time, consistently, dependably, reliably (do you get my point yet?). I’ve suggested that my good friends and co-​workers see her. If my momma were in Gainesville, I’d send her to see Rachel too. My only problem now is that I’ve moved away and Rachel-​less and am trying to find someone else to replace her. :(:(
