Aaron is an amazing massage therapist. One of the most relaxing & best deep tissue massages I have ever had. I decided that I would book another appointment with him about 10 minutes into my massage. I practically floated out of the building & into my car after my appointment. I cannot recommend form + function & Aaron enough!
Liz is an absolute legend. For weeks, Ive been suffering super tight knots in my upper back, particularly in the rhomboid major/trapezius area (due to sitting at a desk all day and poor posture). I am generally dissatisfied with wimpy Swedish massages, and sometimes even the typical deep tissue massages dont quite cut it for me.I saw on their website trigger point therapy, and it sounded very promising. Booking it online was super easy, and they have a generous cancellation policy of 4 hours. But trust me... You do not want to cancel because this will be the best thing you do all week.My appointment was at 845, so I arrived a little early to find that they werent open until 9 am, so I waited outside for a few minutes. There is plenty of street parking so be prepared to pay for that.The interior is decorated in a quintessential Austin fun quirky style with architecture themes (name of the establishment noted). As a new client I only had to fill out a short form. Liz asked me what areas I wanted to focus on, and was brilliant in finding my problem areas. Her massage technique was strong, intentional, and yet somehow relaxing... I almost fell asleep near the end!If you have a particular problem condition you want dealt with and typical spa massages dont quite cut it - this is a sign to just DO IT! Book with Liz you will not regret it!
I booked a same day 90 min massage with Phillip and it was probably one of the best massages Ive ever gotten. I have chronic pain and muscle spasms and its like he has a sixth sense to find my trigger points and use just the right amount of pressure. I had been in a lot of pain for a week or so before and afterwards I felt like I was walking on clouds. 10/10 highly recommend!!
Cant say enough how easy, effective, and cost-affordable this place and their various healers are for someone who just needs to fix part of their body that has been causing pain.I saw Chris here this past Sunday and he was a true joy to work with. Super knowledgeable and passionate about his craft.HIGHLY RECOMMEND going here!
I met with Chris. I was pleasantly surprised with my experience, normally I go into a massage expecting someone not to know what they are doing, so I request very firm pressure to make up for lack of technique. It was the reverse here, where Chris had a lot of technique and didnt need to brute force it. Also the storefront and general vibe is tastefully decorated, like they were going for an artistic engineer aesthetic. Highly recommend.
Ive been going to Form + Function for several months now and its awesome! Definitely one of the best massage places Ive been to in Austin. Shout out to Ry as well! Hes been amazing to work with.
Kenias bodywork was spot on. She provided a custom massage that was tailored perfectly to my areas of concern and I felt so much better afterwards (and still do). Kenia and F+F were professional and the facility was pleasant and calming.
Awesome! Husband and I made an appt here on our vacation and we both had the best massages! Really enjoyed it and will definitely come back again when we come back to Austin. Easy to make an appt and reasonably priced. Thank you!
I don’t recall how I found F+F but I’m so glad I did. Katie G is the absolute best and takes your concerns seriously to ensure you leave your massage feeling better than when you walked in. She has helped me throughout training to make sure I’m taking care of my body between session. If I could give a 6th star, I would.
Had my first massage with Travia yesterday and it will not be my last. I chose the 60min customized massage and added cupping and cbd. I have been having back and glute pain since September 2023 and am in physical therapy for it. Travia was so attentive and understanding of my issues. She checked with me on her pressure multiple times throughout making sure I was always comfortable. I left feeling so relaxed and taken care of. Also, her music playlist was a great change from the usual nature sounds. I cant wait to schedule again soon.
I always book massages last minute because Im not great at self care - but as a result Ive seen three different massage therapists here and all of them have been excellent. Cant go wrong. This is the place.
One of the best massages Ive ever had in my life. I booked with Alison S via the app (was super easy to book). I was running a bit late and feeling flustered. As soon as I arrived at the studio, I was greeted by a comforting energy. The place is cozy. Feels like home. And everyone I saw had a warm smile on.The massage itself was perfect. We focused on my shoulders due to an old injury that I was nursing. I had no idea that massages could be so functional. This wasnt your standard relaxing massage, we went deep and released a TON of tension. I almost fell asleep on the table at the end of the session. I loved every second of this massage and cant wait for the next one :)
I was able to snag a late appointment with Chris and I was soooo happy I did. In addition to customary forms of massage, Chris specializes in myofascial massage which is not just trendy but also a great form of specialized treatment for those (like me) with chronic pain. Chris went above and beyond to try to help me be able to walk around without pain. I did a 90 minute session and muscles are now moving that havent in over a year. He was so knowledgeable so I learned a lot about my muscles and how to address my issues. I wish I was local so I could keep coming back, but I would strongly recommend F+F and specifically Chris. Thank you so much for accommodating me!
Whoa. This place rocks. Stacy gave the best massage I’ve probably ever had, and I’ve tried quite a few different spots here in Austin including some day spas. Based on the other 5 star reviews, it seems they have some elite talent on staff!
Excellent spot. Great vibes, professional, reasonably priced, and massage therapists who will work with you to address your specific need. Been going off and on for several years and they maintain that boutique Austin charm
This is a wonderful space, recommend 100%! I have been seeing Phillip and he is an excellent therapist with magic hands. It is well worth your time and investment here.
I booked with Chris as I was having lower back pain and an upcoming half marathon trail race. the pain was so bad I feared I might not be able to participate in the event. Although Chris did a wonderful job, I still needed more work (I only booked 30 mins when I clearly needed more). I came back the following day with Stacy and I am pleased to say I feel great! I am so thankful for Chris and Stacy getting me up & running again.
My husband and I train Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai and were looking for a place that could give us the true muscle and joint treatments we need. As a former massage therapist myself, I know there is a huge variance in style within the massage practice.I found Form and Function online and they had in depth descriptions of each therapist which helped us determine a good fit for each of us. We booked 2 hour massages with Kenia and Katie and WE ARE NEVER GOING ANYWHERE ELSE. Both ladies gave us exactly what we were looking for and I have never had a better nights sleep in my life. We immediately scheduled another massage for a month out.The location is small and quaint. They offer nice add ons like warm eye masks, hand held warmers for your shoulders, CBD, etc. They also have cute boutique items for sale up front. The owner has created a healthy working environment for the therapists as she is a therapist herself and understands how taxing the work is. They are limited to 5 hour shifts and as someone who was run into the ground as a therapist in my earlier days, I very much respect that.We cant wait to go back and are so grateful it was money well spent. Highly recommend if you are looking for a place for deep healing.
I just had a two-hour massage, plus leg massage, plus eye mask with Rissa. She has magic hands that got to work on fixing knots and problems I didnt even know I had! When I got up, I could feel how much looser and more mobile my back muscles were. My legs and feet feel amazing! I have more feeling in them than Ive had in a while! Im going back for more--I highly recommend Form + Function!Oh, I forgot to mention how organized the place is. And how clean and fresh everything is. And how nice everyone is who works there is. Very professional! I AM a happy camper!Well, two months and several massages later--Im even more jubilant about Form + Function! When I started with Rissa, I had swollen ankles. After my second massage, they got back to normal, and have stayed that way. I now have ankle bones I can see!!! Im also feeling better overall. Wish I could give 10 stars!!!
Been coming here for a while now and have been meaning to write a review because every experience here has been great and I really love this place! Tonight I will say though that I had one of my top massage experiences ever with Christopher. I came in after throwing my back out over the weekend and needed some relief. Without me saying a whole lot, Christopher knew exactly what to do and it was amazing. I left feeling so much better and I can’t wait to come back and see him! Highly recommend this place and Christopher!
I’ve been experiencing a tight hamstring and a sore shoulder from sports. The last massage I had was nearly 20 years ago, so I was a little nervous about how this was going to feel. Kenia helped with all my soreness and tightness in a very comfortable environment. Great conversation too!
Rissa is in the top 1% of massage therapists worldwide, based on my 20+ years receiving bodywork Her intuitive touch and connection with her clients is unparalleled.
Wonderful experience! The team is so welcoming and Alison took great care of me. Absolutely recommend her for massage & cupping.
The place is so cute and welcoming. Christopher also did an amazing job at targeting the areas I needed work on the most during my massage. I had a back surgery a few years ago and he was excellent at being gentle in that area and I did not feel any pain during the massage. Would recommend to anyone with an injury because he was very accommodating of my needs. Thank you Christopher!
For my own scheduling reasons, Ive had three different therapists on my visits. Each one has been phenomenal. Theyve listened well to my requests, focused on the spots that need extra attention, and created an incredibly nurturing space for me to relax in. One of the most reasonably priced massages, too. Definitely go for the 90-minute massage. Your body will thank you!
Ive been coming to Form + Function for almost two years and cannot recommend it enough. The space, customer service and location are all wonderful. The bathroom, rooms and lobby are all very calm and Im immediately relaxed when I walk through the door. Kenia is a wizard and always gives me the best stretching recommendations after my massage so the benefits of the massage last me long after I walk out the door.
Stacy was great! She did a great job focusing on massaging out knots and left me feeling very relaxed.
This was one of the best massages I’ve ever had. The environment was inviting and relaxing.
Best massage therapists in Austin. Katie, in particular, is super talented and attentive. Her deep-tissue and sports massage/stretching techniques have helped me with a number of injuries. Highly recommend!
My fiancé and I were in Austin for a quick vacation and were in desperate need of a massage. I have yet to find a good place in Dallas despite many attempts, so I was nervous for this one. THIS WAS THE BEST MASSAGE I HAVE EVER HAD. Stacy and Katie were amazing. Do not hesitate to book. I would come back to Austin just for this place!
I love this place and try coming in about once a month. The staff is very knowledgeable and will work with you to define what youre looking for during the session: deep tissue, sports massage, relaxation, etc. I especially like that they offer cupping and they often are able to get you in very quickly, even same-day in some cases.Ive worked with Phillip, Stan and Matthew and all have been awesome!
Best massage I’ve ever had!! Alison S is so talented and gives great advice on how to improve your pain.
I had my first massage here with Stan and it was amazing! The studio is so comfortable and cozy and he was a great therapist. He really listened to what I needed and created the session around that. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.
I had a 90 minute massage with Philip, who was utterly amazing! He listened to my issues, and focused on the areas of concern. His style is very “intentional”, not methodical exactly, but very slow and thorough. I’ve had massages where it felt like they were rushing, and he didn’t do that. I highly recommend!!
I’ve been to Form + Function off and on over the last couple of years. I usually schedule a 90min full body. I booked an appointment with Jesus in August—He was fantastic!More recently, I’ve seen Christopher L my last two visits (Dec./Jan.) and already have my next appt. lined up! Christopher is incredibly friendly and so easy to talk to! He’s attentive to my concerns, quickly picks up on whatever my body is needing help with, and I always leave feeling restored. It’s been a serious game changer. Thank you!!
This place is amazing! I booked a massage for myself for a weekend getaway, and was utterly blissed out by my experience. The space is beautiful, but my therapist is what truly made the experience for me. I’m a massage therapist myself, and am damn picky about getting a good massage. Stacie delivered 110%. She completely acknowledged my needs, and I walked out feeling like I was on another planet. In the best of ways! I will book here with Stacie every single time I come back. Thank you so much!!
Phillip was amazing!I recently moved and was so spoiled with my previous massage therapist I had for 5 years. Phillip was clearly very educated and skilled as this was my first appointment with him. I definitely will be booking with him again in the future.
Kenia was my masseuse. She was amazing & I feel great! I have scoliosis & have recently thrown my back out. I feel looser than I have felt in weeks. It’s out of my way but I’ll be going back.
My primary doctor from OneMedical recommended Form + Function Massage (He and his wife are regular customers) and Im so grateful that I tried this place! I worked with Kat and Chris and both of them are exceptional! They are deeply knowledgeable and have slightly different approaches. Personally, I would work with them in turn. Also, Im open to trying other therapists since they get booked so quickly. Thank you!
Form & Function is the best in town! I see Stacy regularly and just saw Chris for the first time — both of them have given me immense back pain relief from their deep tissue / sports massages. I can’t recommend them enough!
As a sufferer of chronic pain dealing with a flare-up while on vacation in Austin, I was looking for something very specific from a massage. Form + Function gave me exactly what I was looking for! Never in my life have I experienced a more effective massage. My masseuse, Katie, was incredible. She used the perfect amount of pressure at all times. She asked me what I wanted, listened to my response, and never once wavered from that. She was friendly and forthcoming when asked questions, but never once initiated conversation when I was choosing to be silent. Every staff member I encountered was very accommodating, and this was easily one of the best massage experiences I have ever had.
Had issues upon check out, credit card machine wasn’t working. Had to wait several minutes while my Uber sat outside waiting (was charged wait fees for that). They had to text me a link the following day to pay. No apologies. Still gave a tip. Still giving two stars because the massage was ok and my last massage was better.
Google should offer an option to add a 6th star to an establishment like this. I am very impressed with the massage therapist i saw yesterday! the massage was excellent. Kenya was very knowledgable and went above and beyond to customize the treatment and sent me home with some stretches i should do to help. I left at 11:15 and at 11:17 i already had booked 3 follow up appts with her. i also felt great the whole day.Facility is very clean and very welcoming. Cant wait to be back! Thank you so much!
Ive had two massages here so far and they have been fantastic. First was with the owner Melissa and she gave a great initial evaluation of the lower leg problems Ive been having. Second massage was with Kari, for a longer period of time and it was definitely one of the best massages Ive ever had. Both Melissa and Kari were super friendly, welcoming, and clearly experienced as those two sessions have already had a significant impact on my foot and ankle pains.
Rissa did amazing work on my back injury! As a chef I’m on my feet some 16 hours a day and she really understood exactly which areas to focus on to bring me relief. Can’t wait to go back!!
I had a massage last night with Christopher L and he was amazing. That was the best deep tissue massage I have ever had. I have a lot of shoulder blade issues and he helped me so much! Highly recommend him.
Stacey literally has the hands of a goddess. She is professional and makes great use of our time. She has truly helped me to feel better, and even offered a helpful stretch suggestion for when Im not able to get a massage. I highly recommend her!
My massage with Stan Urbanek was one of the best of my life! He is nurturing, professional, and does great deep tissue work. I felt like I went into a deep trance and came out completely renewed. I couldnt recommend him highly enough. The studio is also so sweet. Clean, quiet, and nicely decorated.
Best massage place in Austin! Ive tried many places, from small studios to high-end spas, and Form + Function have the best therapists by far. I get a lot of massages and like a firm pressure. These therapists are experts. Kat is amazing and also great for prenatal. Christopher is life changing.
This place rocks. Been getting work done on my shoulders and back VERY regularly with John. Very skilled. Listens and is very attentive to what my body needs at that given moment.The ambience is very comfortable. Clean. Comfy. Casual. Great place to get a massage regardless of what modality or type of massage you need. Tell them how you feel and they can set you up with whats going to make you feel good.
Absolutely loved my massage here! Kenia was so sweet, listened to me when I explained where I was having pain and why. She was able relieve the immediate pain I came in for as well as help with the long-standing knots I have from working at a computer all day. Even gave me some tips for things I can do at home to help relieve tension.I was thankful they were able to see me on such short notice (booked the appointment same day) and definitely plan to return. The studio itself is really cute too! I love being able to support local small businesses, so I am happy to have found my new regular massage place.
I have been to Form + Function twice now. I love the bios online so you can pick the right therapist for your needs! The studio is beautiful and clean. Prices are good for downtown. Everything was clean and seemed very safe and clean in the time of Covid. I worked with Emily most recently and she was awesome. I booked a 90 minute for pain in my left leg, she was really exploratory to figure out what may be causing pain and addressing the issues. I will definitely rebook when my paycheck allows!
I just got one of the best massages I’ve ever had from Kenya at Form + Function and have to share that experience! Before we got started, she asked what we were wanting to achieve in this session rather than going with a standard approach. I told her I run quite a bit and do Camp Gladiator for cross training where my legs and upper back seem to suffer the most after the workouts. She focused on those areas and found knots and previous injuries’ scar tissue that I had no clue were still impacting my overall muscular health. Kenya was very communicative throughout the session and asked if she was going too hard to make sure I was comfortable, or at least okay with not being comfortable for my own good. She did a combination of stretching and deep tissue massage to get me feeling 100X better than I did when I waked in.Beyond the masseuse, the facility was super clean and comfortable decorated in local Austin crafts and art. It wasn’t over-the-top fancy and it wasn’t east-side hipster - they found the perfect medium of comfortably clean and cost effective. I’m glad I chose this local business that also supports other locals. All in all, I can’t recommend Kenya and Form + Function enough and I’ll be going back regularly.
Amazing massage with Kenia! I now have complete function back in my neck. 100% recommend. Best massage Ive found in Austin.
I have bad posture at work and a lot of back and shoulder pain because of it. I have gotten massages regularly throughout my life because of this. I can honestly say Kenia is one of the best therapists I have had work on me. Appointments are easy to schedule here and location is great especially if you live on the east side. I highly recommend this business but also Kenia as a therapist!
My experience with John was excellent. He is extremely respectful and made me feel comfortable. My experience with Elisabet was also wonderful, she took her time with her massage for me and I left feeling like a new person. Seriously, after two massages at this place, I feel so much better in regards to my shoulder/neck/back pain.
I was in town for a wedding recently and was in need of a massage. I am so glad I came across Form and Function and Elijah. I regularly receive massage treatments in New York City and have gotten massages all over the world on my travels. My session with Elijah was definitely one of the very best I have ever experienced in my lifetime.The space itself is very clean and the therapy rooms are equipped with high quality massage tables that are very comfortable. Elijah took his time at the beginning to get to know my background and problem spots. From there, he worked his magic going meticulously through my entire body and really concentrating on the areas that were particularly tight. The techniques he used made it clear he was well-versed in massage therapy.I felt incredibly refreshed immediately following the end of the massage. So much so that I booked Elijah for an appointment the following week as I just so happened to be in town again for a friends bachelor party. I wish I could find someone with Elijahs skills in NYC for my regular massage appointments!
If you are looking for a place to get real “work” done — this is it! I went to various local spas for years, but got a little tired of the same old experience and needed something more. I don’t usually get a massage just to relax, I need it to help correct issues in my low back and neck/shoulders. There is no spa water or bathrobes on offer here, but you will leave feeling amazing and that’s primarily because the therapists really listen to you.I’ve had three sessions at F+F — 2 with Kenia and 1 with Kat. All were great experiences: both were easy to talk to, focused on the issues I outlined, and used targeted massage techniques that were very effective. Kenia debriefs you afterward, suggesting stretches and other things you can do to keep the problems at bay.The studio is small and clean, and I love that you can book online with the therapist of your choice and that this place is centrally located with lots of street and garage parking nearby. The rates are very reasonable, and I recommend the CBD add-on since it’s so affordable. I’ve loved that each time the music playlists the therapists selected wasn’t something you would normally hear in a spa! My only real constructive feedback I would be that when the AC comes on in the rooms it can get quite chilly on the beds — Not something that will keep me from returning regularly.
Kenia is amazing! I opted for a 60 min massage with compression boots and it was everything! Thank you Form + Function for bringing me back to one!
I had such a great full body massage + cupping with Rissa! The massage was intense but I felt amazing after, super looked after and loved the vibes of Form + Function.
My experience here was awesome. I have been dealing with some back and neck aches for years due to working a 9-5 job at a desk for about 7 years at this point. I lost a bunch of weight, started running, and started lifting weights; and I really began to feel the tightness more and more. It was also limiting my mobility, which is incredibly important. Kari, my therapist, really listened to and put together a massage that has made a significant improvement after just one 90 minute session. The tension in my neck is greatly reduced so that my shoulders can hang with less effort, and the tightness in my back is also significantly improved.
Katie is an excellent massage therapist. She listened to my treatment goals and developed an effective plan. Clean facilities.
This place is the best. I run a lot and I can always count on Kat to replenish my stubborn body (and mind.) The ambiance is so calming and serene, which can admittedly provide an amusing contrast with the knots in my body! I always look forward to my monthly visits. Can’t imagine running without them.
Melissa is phenomenal. Shes been my massage therapist for the past several years and she gives the best massage Ive ever had. I prefer a lot of strength and deep tissue and Melissa kills it every time. After working out or doing athletic activities, shes great at helping your body heal. Shes also just a great person to talk to. Truly a therapist.
I scheduled a 60 min massage with Stacy Newkirk and it was incredible - honestly one of the best and most beneficial massages that I’ve ever experienced, esp for booking same day on a whim. She was able to point out stress points in my shoulders and addressed all my concerns.I’ll certainly be back! Thank you, Stacy! 🥰
I love Form + Function! Ive visited twice for a massage, and each time was great. I plan on going once each month. They take time out of their day to get to know you and what you want out of your massage. Its very relaxing, and the aesthetic of the whole place was soothing and perfect for a great massage experience - & its in the heart of the city!
This is the massage studio I have been looking for in Austin! I had a great massage last week from Lizzie. I have had chronic back and neck pain for years, and she really knew how to get in there a loosen up my muscles. So happy to find Form + Function!
I was in SO MUCH PAIN in my neck, shoulders, and back when I called F&F. They got me in within the hour for a 90 min corrective massage. Kenya really got to the root of my pain and left me with no unmet expectations. I’m so grateful I found this place! Very professional and relaxing atmosphere, and my therapist was fun to talk to and really listened to what I had to share about my pain and targeted all the painful spots immediately. I’ve already set up my next appointment.
So happy to find a therapeutic massage while I was traveling.I was hurting and knew I needed more than a lotion application that I would have gotten at most places.Add to that that it was very convenient to downtown Austin and it was perfect.I was able to squeeze in twice with Kari while I was there and she was very effective. Couldnt ask for better.She also came in 2 hours early to accommodate my schedule..not sure thats always possible but it was really appreciated.
I highly recommend Form + Function, in particular Rissa. She was incredibly thorough in targeting the muscles and essentially offered physical therapy strength training throughout the session. A good balance of relaxing and engaging when you need to rebuild muscles. She also gave me several good exercises to do on my own that also greatly improved my shoulder. Look no further and book with Rissa.
My massage experience was fantastic! The interior inside is super clean and bright. The massages here are not your typical massage studio. From my experience, they give treatment massages meant to really get into those tight spots of tension. I look forward to coming back here again!
Fantastic 1hr20min massage with HanChing a few days after a half marathon and she worked out all of the tension. A definite recommend! The rooms are located in a art/gallery/framing business and they are calming and comfortable. The beds are very comfortable and the linens are soft. Everything was clean and spotless. I will definitely make this my go-to from now on.
From check in to check out I had a great experience at Form and Function. I explained to Liz my recent injury and what was sore and she took it from there. Liz really alleviated a lot of tension and made me aware of areas I need to stretch. I look forward to coming back in 2 weeks!
I have been dealing with Lower back and sciatic pain for months now.My therapist of 10 years relocated and I have not been able to find someone with the pressure and training to massage someone of my stature.Matt after one session was instrumental to helping me ease my pain. I have had 1 session with Matt and I have already booked out-weekly sessions with him.From our first sessions, he has dug into the areas that are troubling me, giving me localized tension relief as well as more whole body massage therapy.I am really grateful I found Matt and I can tell his healing touch will continue to help alleviate my pain and tensions.
My massage was wonderful & relieved a lot of the tension I had. My massage therapist was very profession & clearly knew what he was doing. Great experience!
Amazing East Austin massage at Form & Function... So happy to find this jewel of a place. If you blink, youll miss it. Super clean, exclusive location. Its sortof like a speak easy as you have to enter through the print shop up front and you only get passage with a certain password and hand shake... Just Kidding, but you do have to know where you are going. OK, to the massage, Dan was amazing and provided the most focused and progressive approach to my chronic stress knots above and beyond any other therapist Ive seen (and Ive seen plenty). Everyone else works where the pain is, but Dan went to the tight chest as the source of the pain problem, so smart! I highly recommend Form & Function Massage, just learn the handshake so you can get in through the print shop!... 😊 👍
I was in town from Houston and having issues with my lower back. I knew it was a long shot on a Friday night at 6pm to ask to get in, but they pulled it off! They were able to squeeze me in at the last minute and it saved me. My therapist was Elijah. He not only relieved my pain but also worked out a bunch of stiffness in my back. I felt 10x better afterwards and I was truly blessed that they got me in! I will return and I highly recommend these guys! They are honest, hard-working and extremely friendly! Well done guys!
Form + Function Massage is great! I was skeptical at first, since Ive had many massages at many places over the years, and few therapists are able to help with the many past injuries Ive had. But Form + Function blew my expectations out of the water. My back and shoulders felt better than they have in ages. Ive already recommended Form + Function to several friends, because theyre that good.
Very dissappointed,I moved to Austin a while back and I am still yet to find a good deep tissue massage. I tried austindeep before, which was an actual deep tissue massage. It was good but not amazing. Reading through reviews I was excited to give this place a try. The therapist was advertised under sports and deep tissue, however shortly after starting I realized that this was not a deep tissue massage. I raised my concern but unfortunately she was not able to switch technique. I am not blaming the therapist, as she seemed nice and only does what she knows. I was considering leaving throughout the massage, but I felt bad for her as I dont consider it to be her fault. However it should not be advertised as a deep tissue massage, as it is a classic/swedish style. Due to being an athlete and having problems with my back, I have received plenty of massages in my life and I felt very frustrated as the massage was painful (not in a good way) and did not give me the release I was looking for.
Have been coming here for about a year and such an amazing experience! I specifically have been working with Philip, and he’s wonderful. He always takes the time to understand areas I want to work on, and remembers specific areas of concerns.
One of the best massages I’ve ever gotten. Ask for Julieta. Know she’s amazing cause I told her my back/neck were hurting and she knew exactly where the pain points were and how to focus on them. Lots of attention and care. Highly recommend!
My friend and I planned a girls birthday trip and I stumbled upon Form + Function...when I say this was a spiritual experience, Im not even slightly kidding! As we waltzed through an old frame shop a door opened--into the mirage that is Form + Function. Elijah was incredibly friendly and helped us feel relaxed before our session. The staff as a unit were really communicative and I felt like they adapted to all of our needs. A lot of local art work and decorative pieces lined the walls. When it came time for my session, Elijahs massage skills were out of this world and I quietly pondered if I had enough money to keep me on the table for the rest of the day. All day I pretty much thought about that, even after I left. As a teacher and someone on my feet constantly-- I feel so much more in tune with my body and feel recharged for this upcoming week! I will most certainly drive back to Texas to experience this again!!
I was in town for the weekend and called same day I needed a massage. I had Carrie as a masseuse for deep tissue. It was probably one of the best massages I’ve ever had - and I have a lot of massage over the years. Definitely recommend. Thank you, Form + Function.
Got a great massage here! Very helpful and professional. Focused on my needs and we’re very kind.
I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage with Elijah. I would recommend this studio and will definitely go back. Elijah was easy to talk to and very relaxed. He helped identify some problem areas where I was tense, but didnt know it.Arrived with a stiff upper back and neck. Next day, my range of motion is back.
Kenia gave me the best massage I think Ive ever had. She is amazing way better than all of the expensive Vegas spaces I usually go to. Wish I wasnt just visiting Austin. Also this place is super cheap. I will definitely be back next year.
F&F was such a joy to find! Had a 60 minute massage with Abby and it was wonderful. She did great fascial work without making me cry :)Only complaint I have is that during my session, I could hear voices that were very loud in the reception area, but the music mostly drowned them out. The environment, overall, was incredibly relaxing. Cant wait to see Abby again!
The therapists there are incredibly knowledgeable. John helped relieve a huge neck pain that left me very impaired. Other massage therapists Ive spoken to there are really well-informed. Tell the therapists what is hurting and they will help focus on it. Rooms and bathroom are very clean, music is nice and relaxing. Really have to recommend John.
The best massage in Austin! All the therapists are very experienced and fully address any problem areas. The space, service and location are wonderful. Its quintessential Austin, tucked away inside a print shop with lots of great local art for sale.
Had an amazing 2 hr massage from Anthony! He really worked on some very tight muscles and gave me some great recommendations to avoid poor posture and muscle tightness. I already booked my next appt. Would highly recommend Anthony and Form &Function Massage.
Ive worked with Melissa, Carrie and Abby. All stellar therapists, recently Carrie and Abby provided a truly therapeutic 90 min session. Melissa was also essential in relieving a trigger point in my back that was keeping me from sleeping due to pain, and in a 30 min session. I always buy a package of massages and include tip prior to appt. Surprisingly easy to park in this area too.
I have been experiencing chronic hip pain for several months, and I scheduled a last-minute appointment at the trusty Form+Function to find some relief. Delashon, new to the staff at F+F, took the liberty of studying my client history prior to my appointment, familiarizing himself with past problems before I ever even walked through the door. Upon meeting him, he immediately made me feel confident that I would walk out feeling much better. He was able to pinpoint the source of my discomfort and worked with me through the whole appointment to work through some of the tougher moments. He gave me sound professional advice about my care plan moving forward, and I left feeling so much better with much better mobility. If you have complicated mobility issues, go see Delashon, and hell help you feel better and map out the road forward!
I had an incredible massage, professional experience and convenient process.
If you need a deep tissue massage for tight muscles, Liz is your therapist!
Stan was really exactly what one would look for in a masseur. Strong with calm and healthy energy. The massage studio was a quiet little oasis and it felt very professional and really perfect. Thanks very much.
In town visiting Austin and stopped in to get an hour massage. John was absolutely amazing - the best massage Ive ever had. He was intentional and loving and it felt like he wanted to be there. Thank you, John! 10/10 recommend.
Highly recommend Form + Function massage. Rhys took the time to understand my needs and built a massage that addressed them. I appreciated that he chatted with me after the massage and showed me new stretches to try. I left feeling incredible and looking forward to coming back soon.
Morgan was excellent. She stopped the shooting pains through my neck and got me back to a more relaxed posture. My shoulders are no longer near me ears. Id highly recommend her.
Best massage place Ive ever been to. Easy booking experience, very experienced therapists, high value for money.
I feel so lucky to have found Elijah at Form + Function when I moved to Austin. I have a high stress job and an area of chronic pain that leaves me very wary of new massage therapists, afraid of leaving worse than I came in. Elijah is a great listener and keen observer of how the work affects you, and I trusted him right away. He is exceptionally talented at bodywork. Go for it. Im way better in a short period of time. He has a fantastic energy that exudes acceptance and welcome.
I Had a 90 minute massage with HanChing and it was absolutely amazing! She used the perfect amount of pressure and I left feeling totally relaxed after a long day of flying to Austin, Texas yesterday! I would totally recommend form + function massage!
Worked with an amazing new therapist Abby at form+function. Her technical skills are amazing! She used a combination of craniosacral and meridian work tech to release some of the chronic tension and tightness in my neck and shoulders. Immediate results from magical hands that follow and listen to the body’s response as she works on it. Highly recommend!
This was the first time I got a chance to experience this kind of Massage and I can say that it has changed the way I look at them forever.I wish I lived here so I could go back a lot more often, but at least I can be thankful for them for introducing me to this and explaining how muscles work and how important hydration and a whole list of other things is for an active body, I definitely recommend because for the price youre paying you won’t just get a great massage, you will literally get a master class on how to keep your body in a perfect shape.
Great experience. Great staff. I worked with Liz, and she was super cool and friendly. My back has never felt better! Thanks!
I love this place! The atmosphere is so relaxing, and Melissa always gets my knots out without the massage being too painful. Shes great about telling you to exhale as shes working on a particularly tight spot.
Melissa is the best! Ive been going to her for several months now to fix my APT. Not only is she a fantastic masseuse, but shes great to talk to and really nails the therapist part of massage therapist.
Best massage ever, hands down. Ive been feeling super tense lately in neck, shoulder, upper back area. Stacy was very attentive and took care of all the problem areas with her magical hands! Thank you again, Stacy!
I went to Form + Function in February because I was having persistent migraines and was pretty desperate for relief. Somehow the universe brought me Jesus, who healed my migraines within a handful of visits. Not only do I always leave feeling better but Jesus is full of fun stories and food/music recommendations—he’s the best! This is a great little spot, highly recommend 🤩
Have gone here a few times now after they re-opened following The Vid. Extremely clean - everyone in masks, hands sanitized, temperature checked, etc. Kari has been fantastic - fixing all the knots and daggers in my back resulting from all the sitting on a kitchen stool hunched over working from home. Definitely recommend!
The best massage in Austin, and super reasonably priced! Stacy is amazing. Will definitely return
It was my first time getting a deep tissue massage and Sophia was great! I felt super relaxed, the storefront was very clean and calming. I will definitely be back again
Being a very active individual that was struggling in a constant scenario of injuries and general discomfort, Finding Form+Function Massage was a breath of fresh air. The frequent deep tissue massage, general preventative maintenance advice, the overall professional approach added to the easy & reliable scheduling has significantly improved my general well being.Schedule today, you wont be disappointed.
Kenia targeted all of my issues in my upper back. She communicated with me, and told me exactly why I was sore. She was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I am so impressed by the way I feel the day after having a therapeutic massage with Kenia. She works wonders. I will be back!
Had a great experience with Morgan who helped ease my hamstring pain. For my first massage she made me feel very comfortable and relaxed!
Excellent massage as well as pleasant manner. Listened to my specific pain and was effective in treatment.Will definitely return upon visiting Austin again.
Great ambiance/decor. Had availability day of. Therapist Rhys gave me one of the best massages I’ve ever had (and Ive been getting massages once every 3-4 weeks for over a year now)
Hands down best massage I have had since my first one 20 years ago. Please keep it in the Austin family and try this small local business. I will definitely continue to seek help from them with my aches and pains. Thank you Elisabet!
I booked a last minute appointment yesterday evening with Elisabet and it was the best thing Ive done for myself all year. She was very attentive and knowledgable and after a 90 minute session my lower back pain, achey shoulders and neck, and even my headache, all just melted away. I slept like a baby! I will be coming back again and again.
They have tons of available times so Ive always been able to get in day of or within one day of deciding I need a massage. The therapists are great at working with what you need in that moment, theyve always been able to help me with my physical woes.
Liz did an amazing job on my tight shoulders and neck. I asked her to give a deep tissue massage and she did that and more. I felt like I was run over by a truck the following day. Amazing. I will be back!
Chris was excellent. He made my neck stop spasming. If I lived in the area, I would be coming here on a regular basis.
I’m so grateful for having found Melissa. She is an outstanding masseuse. I came to her with back pain. After reviewing my symptoms, she thought she could eliminate my pain in 5 sessions and she did. Thank you Melissa!
Melissa is a miracle worker and the perfect massage therapist for athletes or highly active people. Whatever you do, book a two hour appointment because one hour just isnt enough. Youll feel incredibly afterwards.
Jesus was incredible! He knew exactly what he was doing, and was able to work on me and my issues in a way that felt not just relaxing but very healing. I recommend him enough and I am somebody who gets bodywork often!
Been going here for over 5 years since an injury and it has been a lifesaver. Can’t recommend enough if you need to unlock your muscles.
I was in town on business and my back injury became aggravated. I saw HanChing and she was so amazing. She knows so much about the body and taught me some things my therapists back home hadnt figured out yet. I will see her for sure on my next trip to Austin.
I was looking for reccomendations for affordable massages in Austin while there for business. This place was wonderful! Its in the same building as a graphic design shop. My back was very tight from travel and work, and by the end I felt so much better!
Matt was an excellent therapist. He focused on the areas that were giving me issues, used great pressure, and I loved his use of stretch while massaging.
Just had my first massage with Phillip. Amazing massage. Felt very comfortable. Will be back soon for my next one.
Unfortunately I can’t remember the girl’s name who gave me a massage, but she was very receptive, she did a great job, wasn’t talkative and let me relax (I think we’ve all come across those chatty types). She was very friendly & I would be happy to hire her in the future.
Woke up with a strained neck and upper back and didn’t want to be dealing with it for days so I booked an appointment here. Kari spent 30 minutes working on it and within 24 hours the strain was completely gone. Very pleased with the results!
Every therapist I have had here has been top-notch. Nice but not frilly atmo. Parking is pay-to-park.
1 hour appointment with Katie. Very pleasant and professional and worked hard to alleviate the discomfort in my neck. Very happy with the results. Definitely recommend!
Ive had three massages at Form & Function with three different people and they are all great and very knowledgeable. I had one yesterday with John and it was just what I needed. Love the new space, too.
Between school and work, my neck and back had gotten very tight, and Devon did a great job working out all the knots. He was also very polite and professional; will definitely go again.
I was helped by a wonderfully intuitive and very knowledgeable therapist that addressed my specific issue (low back pain) as well as a few ancillary areas (right ankle and shoulder blades) that were nagging at me. Several days later and I still feel wonderful.
Great studio in a convenient location - Stacy did a terrific job both with the massage and listening to my specific concerns and addressing them. Will definitely be a recurring customer.
An outstanding massage! Abby totally took care of my neck issues that had been bothering me for two weeks. Highly recommend her & establishment, and their prices are excellent.
I had an amazing massage experience here! Super warm and friendly team. I came down for a long weekend and popped in for a massage. Fairly priced and great experience!
Devon is awesome! he gets right to the depth of what you need to move and transform and makes it happen... if you like deep work that is also nurturing and smooth... go with Devon. The Office is great and good location and the vibe is high :)
Accommodated a late night last minute massage. Phillip was fantastics. Highly recommend
Quickly became my go-to spot after moving to Austin, and still going despite living 10 miles away. Great welcoming team and super comfortable tables.
Rhys was awesome!! He listened to what problem areasI had and he focused on them. He was extremely thorough and I felt leaving there like a million bucks. I felt very relaxed afterwards!!
Great Deep Tissue work from Rissa! Would recommend coming here to target specific areas that need work
Liz was excellent. Really got into my shoulders and neck firmly as required. Very lovely and professional also. I highly recommend !
Super laid back and friendly staff. My girlfriend and I went for 90 minute massages and havent stopped smiling a day later. Highly recommend checking them out.
Dude. This place is awesome. Massage therapists for any style you’re looking for. I had several nagging injuries and the progress has been amazing. These guys are my go to.
Amazing massage therapists, beautiful facilities, and great customer service. Massages are high quality and reasonably priced. 10/10!
Extremely knowledgeable and welcoming staff. I love this place. This is my go-to massage therapist. I also enjoy knowing that my money is going into a local business versus a chain.
Best massage Ive ever had. Hands down. Very clean place, relaxing. You can tell they are well trained
Jen Jacob is my usual therapist and she always does an amazing job. I’ve had neck problems for years and seeing her always helps !!
Rissa is incredible and helped so much with pain! Love how they work with athletes - 10/10!
Amazing service and massage from Liz!! Ill be back🙌🏽👌🏼
One of the best massages of my life, I didn’t want it to end. Stacey was great!
Just overall great place and great people. After days with a sore back I set an appointment from a recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed! Great massage!
Visiting Austin for the weekend and this was the only place able to squeeze us in. So grateful, the 90min session was beyond expectations. Forgot the name of the guy but had a beard and dark black hair lol
Wow! What a fantastic massage by Jesus! I was hurting and he really knows his stuff. Im feeling so much better today :) I highly recommend!
Amazing massage, just what I needed. 10/10 would recommend. Christopher was the best!
Fantastic experience from a cool local spot. The next time we’re back in Austin we’ll have to schedule another massage. 11/10
It was my first massage, and it was fantastic! Very relaxing and great for recuperating from an injury.
Loved it! Great little space, HanChing gave an excellent massage, and I was able to book an appointment same day!
Love this place!!! We were in town for conference and they gave us appointments last minute. We felt so comfortable as soon as we walked in the door. Will definitely come back!!🌹❤🌹❤🌹😊😊
Very detailed oriented! I liked the personalized experience. I hope to come back soon
Fantastic massage from Katie. I booked a last minute 30 minute appointment and had great results!
Top notch experience. I feel like a new person. Philip is greatness.
Loved every second of it. Really calming vibe inside the place, right tones are playing along the massage.
John was fantastic! Ive been looking for my massage therapist in town since I moved here a couple of years ago and this seems to be the place Ive been looking for!
Great massage! Especially for an athlete who gets all kinds of tight.
Such a great experience. Christopher was an amazing therapist!
Beautiful relaxing space. An incredible massage by Elizabet. Best massage Ive had in years!!!
I’ve always had a great experience here, and today’s session with Katie was especially good!
OMG Han Jing you are amazing. Best hands, hands down. Great massage, Im a regular now!
Best massage in Austin! Highly recommend Abby, she’s amazing!
Incredibly talented practitioners here. Thoughtful & obviously know what they are doing. If you feel any kind of ‘off’ muscularly, go here.
Always a great experience at Form + Function. They take a very personalized approach which is appreciated.
Really worked out the areas of concerns and also spent time on relaxation. Enjoyed the team and all the education they provided.
I had a massage with Kenia and she was great!
Wow! Such a great massage- “hurts so good.”
Stacy is just incredible! Extremely affordable for the quality of service. Highly recommend💫
Kenia is amazing! Great experience. I will be going back
Wonderful and therapeutic massage loosening up my stiff hips, thanks Morgan!
Great location, great massages! I recommend Kari if you go!
Great atmosphere and amazing value. Highly recommend. Rhys was great!
John was absolutely amazing. Would recommend him over and over again.
Kari was professional and courteous; great session!
Morgan is great! 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic massage - will definitely go again!
Best message Ive ever received! Ask for Liz.
Excellent place for massages from a team of hard working massage therapists.
This place is amazing for more of a sports massage type experience.
Love this place, excellent staff and value! Highly recommend!
Cool place with cool people who know what they are doing. Highly recommend.
Great massage, great service and staff!!
Amazing!
Liz is great!
