Integrity Bodyworks

I was in town for a few days for the Maine Marathon and booked a 60-​minute massage with Michael for post-​race recovery. Michael was everything a massage therapist should be: friendly, communicative, and attentive throughout the treatment. He made sure I was comfortable beforehand and tailored the session to my recovery needs. Online booking was easy and convenient, and I appreciated the earlier morning hours. Prices are very reasonable and ample parking is available across the street. Highly recommend.

He is an independent massage therapist. I got a Groupon in which was to expire within a month, he is very accommodating. His website is great! It has a calendar with available time slots, so it was easy to compare what works with your schedule. The system he uses even sent an email reminder 24 hours prior, with all the details and information on what to fill out, where to park, & which entrance to use since the doors close at a certain time.
It was a little difficult to find. Located next to the Union Plaza. Free parking across the street or behind the building. Working out of an office space, very home-​y, nice music, so there is not a front desk to check you in. There’s also no buzzer on the outside of the building to let you in, so read the e-​mail for directions on how to get inside.
His thearpy: definitely very good massage. You can tell him the pressure and he makes sure it’s to your liking.
Since it was my first time there, he was very through on telling you what will happen or the processes before he starts. ie, he’ll leave the room so you can undress and situate yourself on the table & knocks before entering. Everything is at your comfort level, if you want to be naked, sure go ahead, if you’re more modest, that’s fine too.
Afterwards, he explains to hydrate, hydrate due to toxicities that leave your body.
Will definitely go back & highly recommend to everyone.

Massage is something that everyone should experience, and if you’re in the Portland area you should definitely get one from Michael at Integrity Bodyworks. The name is «integrity» for a reason and Michael clearly cares for his art and for his clients. From the relaxing environment to him checking in on you to making sure the pressure is good to his recommendations on reducing stress to your muscles, the experience is well worth it.
