Steve Carter – Massage Therapist

After experiencing chronic neck and muscle tension for the past 6 months, I’ve had the great good fortune to land on Steve’s massage table. As a fellow massage therapist who has had plenty of bodywork over the years, I have to say Steve is one of best therapists out there. He is strong, intuitive and highly skilled in his craft. He took his time with me and focused exactly where I was holding the most tension in my body. I feel completely recharged and rejuvenated after my first session with him. I will be back!

Had a great massage with Steve this week. Strong hands! Really worked most of my troubled areas. Very comfortable environment, soothing music and the sound of waterfall in the background. Was relaxed as soon as I laid down. Definitely going back!

I bid on and won 3 ninety-​minute massage sessions with Steve at a silent auction. I redeemed the first one today, and it was so wonderful. Steve immediately put me at ease. He asked useful questions at the beginning of the session. Then, he went to work. There wasn’t much talking, which was fine with me. Still, he checked in with me from time to time. I thought he had a great sense of touch and connection, even when he was working on some of my tension spots. Before I left, Steve checked in with me again and gave me some suggestions on how to reduce physical tension in my work.
I look forward to the next two sessions! Many thanks.

I went to Steve with a gift certificate from my partner, and Steve was wonderful! I got 90 minutes with him (the longest massage I’ve had, I think) and he had a great touch, soothing manner, and was all around a fantastic masseur. Definitely would recommend him.

Steve is a wonderful massage therapist and a wonderful person! I felt completely relaxed and renewed after my 90 minute session with him. He was very polite and sure to ask me about my life and work before we began. He has really great energy and I felt like a happy wad of silly putty as I was walking home. He even checked in with me 2 days after my session to see how I was feeling! No one has ever done that for me before. I’ll definitely be back soon!

Aside from being incredibly kind & polite, Steve is an absolutely amazing massage therapist. He creates a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere and is very attentive to the client’s needs. He also goes the extra mile by showing stretches that the client can do at home. He really knows his stuff and works hard to get all the knots out of my shoulders, back, etc. I’m incredibly grateful to have him as a massage therapist, and I highly recommend him to others.

First of all, a little about me and what I like and don’t like about massages. I am NOT the whale sound, relaxing chimes and sounds of the birth-​mother kind of guy. I’m not about soothing, could take a nap while getting a massage or it’s my time to relax and de-​stress moments. What I do like are massages that have a therapeutic, physical correction or adjustment purpose to them. I will never say, «that’s too hard» or «take it easy on my…». If something needs done, get in there and do it.
I’ve searched for years trying to find a massage therapist who understands my purpose and need, and then I found Steve. His training, experience and intuition make him the BEST massage therapist. He has a meaningful consultation with you before you begin. I can’t tell you how many people just ask what kind of massage I want and start. Steve listens, asks and clarifies before beginning anything. You know there is a purpose to what he is doing, and he’s not just going through the motions.
I look forward to getting back on his table. As a matter of fact, I need to make my next appointment now.

Steve is a very attentive and sensitive massage therapist. He listens well to the particular physical needs of his clients and delivers on those needs. In other words, he works on the muscles or areas of pain and/​or stiffness that you ask for, and when you leave you will notice a difference! Ok, you might be a bit sore the next day, but that means he’s done an incredible job and when that soreness subsides, you will know you’ve had a healthful massage that produces results. Of course, you gotta keep going back to Steve to keep those results and to bring incremental improvements to your aches and pains, or just for your need for the relaxation and calming effect that massage provides. BTW he’s a really nice man. Go see Steve, you’ll be glad you did! ms

Steve is a great massage therapist. He found all kinds of knots I didn’t know I had!
I’m kind of a wimp, so his slow, steady and deep technique (I think shiatsu) allowed him to really get in there without me freaking out.
His technique is smooth and so calming. I highly recommend!

Sweet Baby Jesus. Your shoulders, neck, and back are in excellent hands with Steve. Looking for a masseur? Tired of the one you have? Overpaying at a yuppie salon? I have one word for you: Steve Carter. Okay, so that was two words.
I know that in this town everyone and their uncle is a damn massage therapist, but get thine knots to Steve ASAP. You won’t be sorry. He is certified in Swedish and deep tissue. He’s excellent at assessing what’s going wrong with your body and making it right. He’s very responsive to verbal and non-​verbal feedback, and his massage studio is a calm and serene sanctuary.
The last time I went and got a rub from him, I both wept and drooled. Yes, he’s that good.
A massage from Steve is probably the easiest way to decompress, de-​stress, and get some sanity back into your body and mind.
