Talk about a genuine professional being a master of his craft. I’ve had a recurring lower back, hip, and adductor injury for several months now, and Jim has helped me significantly, allowing me to return to my regular exercise routine within a few weeks. He is highly professional and exceptionally communicative, which is hard to come by and greatly appreciated. His knowledge, wisdom, and considerate approach truly stand out. I highly recommend him.
Jim is very down to earth, & awesome at getting into all the trouble spots. I appreciate how much he cares and checked in about comfortable amounts of pressure while being effective.As a fellow health practitioner, I’m relieved to have another great therapist to help me in my “Rolodex” of awesome LMTs! Thanks brother!Warm regards,Steven
Jim is amazing! I require extremely deep massage and he did a great job. He has a warm disposition and very kindhearted. I definitely recommend!
I was looking for--and found!--a relaxing meditative massage experience. Jim was professional, asked about my preferred strength and depth of massage (I chose firm pressure approaching pain since I find this provides a longer lasting relaxation after massage ends), and he asked several times during massage about my comfort (temp, thirst, pain). Highly recommended.
Had my first visit with Jim today, hes the best! He is very knowledgeable and even showed me some exercises I could do to help my neck. Feeling way better already and booked my next appointment!
Following many therapeutic massage visits with Jim for multiple problems due to accidents and surgeries (shoulder, knees, spine and foot) my friend George asked me to write a review for him and to giveJim five stars + for his professionalism , his knowledge and his passion. At 77 years old, after 21 surgeries and hundreds of treatments of all kinds (massages, physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic, etc.) my friend finally had remarkable and astonishing results! He says dont go there with the intention of being flattered you will be disappointed! Deep tissue massage is quite intense...but what benefits! Triple WOW Mr Jim and lots of thanks! George.
I came in for a 60 minute deep tissue massage. My massage was amazing. Great pressure, great technique, and I didnt feel like Jim was looking at the time - he was really taking in consideration all the problem areas and working them out! I wish I could come every week since Jim is one of the best massage therapists Ive been to! I can feel such a difference after going and Im happy to say Im on my way to better posture and overall health with Jim!
Jim was fantastic: highly professional and courteous. The massage was excellent, and really addressed my concerns. Additionally, I was given good advice on how to help address some of my issues with soreness and stiffness.
Jim is an excellent massage therapist!! Very skilled at his profession. Significant pain relief from both sessions I have had with him. Highly recommend booking with Jim!
Highly recommended! Jim did a deep tissue massage on me and was Fantastic. He massaged the knots and worked them out. I felt so great and relaxed when I left. He was informative and knowledgeable explaining what he was doing and identifying the muscles being worked on. I will definitely be back.
Such a wonderful experience! Jim helped me recover post 70.3. I would see him again!
Jim is truly something special. He uses his years of experience to provide a massage that addresses your needs. Ive been seeing Jim for about a year now and every experience has been consistently helpful and healing. Personally, I enjoy a deep tissue massage to manage chronic pain, but Jims techniques span a range of techniques and pressure. Hands down, one of the top tier masseuses in St Pete. 10/10 would recommend.
I came to Jim as I was trying to recover from a herniated disc in my lower back and neck pain. Jim showed a real interest in understanding my injury and making sure to tailor the experience to help me recover. He was very considerate of my back the entire time, and he communicated clearly about what he was doing and why. I felt like I was in good hands.I woke up this morning feeling more relaxed, with muscles that have been very tight for weeks feeling much better.Feeling grateful for his work, and I will definitely be back.Also, Id just like to say that Jim is a consummate professional. It was easy to book an appointment and he communicated everything I needed to know about parking; he made the whole experience easy and enjoyable for me.
I had an incredible massage from Jim yesterday and will definitely be back. I used to be an acupuncturist and have had a lot of bodywork throughout the years, so I have a lot of experience with this and can tell who is truly knowledgeable and skilled. Jim is a rare gem of a massage therapist. His massage technique is truly therapeutic, he knows his anatomy well and his technique is incredible. Definitely one of the best and most skilled I have been to.
Yesterday was my first deep tissue massage with Jim and it was the best massage I have ever experienced. I am a Pro Powerlifter & Bodybuilder, so I do receive massages frequently and have specific preferences & needs when it comes to recovery and massage therapy.Jims experience, knowledge of anatomy and attention to detail is impressive. The location of his office was great and Jim is an all around friendly person. It is difficult to find a massage therapist that meets all of this criteria... and Jim is it! I am looking forward to returning for deep tissue work, stretching and recovery.
The best massage EVER!!! I am athletic, and work out in the gym, walk and play pickle ball. Jim went deep! I feel like a million dollars. Thank you Jim for your excellent massage, I will definitely be back! You are so sweet, and very professional, and you were great about checking in with me during the massage. Thank you so much Jim!
Big fan. This was my first massage, Jim was very patient and walked me through the whole experience. Was very helpful and personable. As it was my first time getting a massage, I didn’t know what to expect. Jim made the experience very positive. 10/10 recommend
I was referred by a friend to Jim at St Pete Massage Therapy, claiming he was the best massage she had ever received. Jim lived up to that claim, and provided relief to my shoulders and back, which was very much needed. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone that is in need of a deep and/or relaxing massage. I would 100% book again! Thanks, Jim!
Like a previous reviewer, Jim was my massage therapist for years when he was in Atlanta. I recently retired and moved to St. Pete and had my first appointment with Jim here on Wednesday. And he was not just as good as he was then, he is even better now. So, I will once again be a regular. Everything about his massage is therapeutic while also being relaxing. And on top of all that, he is a kind and caring soul. Jims the best!
Jim is a seasoned and knowledgeable professional and made me feel at ease. He was able to focus on specific issues I was having and I was extremely pleased with the pain relief I got as a result. If you are looking for a deep tissue massage or have problem areas to address I would definitely recommend!
Jim is the real deal! It’s amazing what he was able to accomplish in an hour. He was professional and receptive to everything I needed. 10/10
Jim Thomason not only gives the best massage you will ever have, he listens. He starts each massage out by asking a few questions. How are you feeling? Any areas of your body bothering you? Are there and physical issues you want me to address/concentrate on?Your massage is tailored to you to maximize the benefits.I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
This was by far the best massage I have ever had! Jim was very thorough with my specific issues in my back and made me feel extremely comfortable. Overall I had a great experience and definitely will be back!
I went to Jim when I experienced back pain from an old accident. Jim was very professional and listened to my concerns and needs before the session began. This was by far the most complete massage therapy session I have experienced before. I have 7 herniated discs in my neck and low back. Jim was very cognizant of those areas and paid special attention, ensuring that his techniques did not cause me any pain. I left feeling relaxed and the pain in my back had subsided. I will be a returning customer for life. Id recommend Jim for anyone dealing with any previous injuries or to anyone looking for a great massage therapist. I am not from Florida and never thought I would find anyone as good as the therapist I had back home. I was wrong. Jim is going to be my go to now.
One of the best massage therapists I’ve had. It was truly and incredible session. I was very over due and Jim was able to alleviate a lot of discomfort in my back, hips, glutes and legs. He is also very knowledgeable and applied reasoning for stretching he was doing which also was amazing. I walked away literally feeling on cloud 9. Another thing is that Jim makes you instantly feel at ease, which is important to me. Will definitely be back.
Jim is an amazing Masseure!! He knows what he is doing and is very good at it. His office is very clean and he is very professional. I have had quite a few massages and he is at the top! I will definitely be a regular client of his. He has a great personality and always checking in with you to make sure your comfortable. I 100% recommend him for anyone looking for a true professional massage!!
Jim at St Pete Massage Therapy is amazing! If youre looking for a massage therapist that is personable, professional and knowledgeable, give him a try. I am so thankful for the work he has done for me after suffering from a stiff neck and upper back for a couple days. He took the time to listen to my issue and provide the appropriate treatment. After my initial treatment, I am already feeling significantly better. I highly recommend Jim!!
Jim is very well rounded with his massage techniques. I liked the fact that he incorporated stretches along with heat therapy in addition to the massage. He takes the time to hear if there are focal points that need special attention and always asked if i was comfortable thru the whole process. For women that might be uneasy about a male massage therapist, he was very professional and at no point did I feel uncomfortable with the process. Ill be returning for more sessions.
After having issues with my winged shoulder for over two years I have finally found a proper massage therapist that doesnt just do temporary relief, but actually works your body in order to heal it. Jim is an excellent therapist and I highly recommend his facility. He goes above and beyond for his clients, is respectful and more importantly listens to his clients. Looking forward to my next visit, the best massage I have had in years.
I went to Jim with a high level of pain in my upper back. I was unable to turn my head or sleep well either. After my session with Jim my pain started to fade and I slept better that night than I had for quite a while. He also showed me techniques for stretch exercises to keep my body in check. I will definitely return to Jim for future massage therapies.
Thank you Jim for a wonderful massage! He is more focused on fixing your pain and making sure it’s done right vs other massage studios that try and get you out as fast as possible. Will definitely be a regular and referring people!
Jim provided a fantastic, relaxing, and soothing 90 minute massage that was such a great experience. I slept like a baby last night all because if his work!He used his knowledge and experience to really work out and stretch muscles that had been bothering me for a while. The warm towel and heated lotion was a great bonus that really helped relax my muscles. I will absolutely book another appointment and I will be referring a friend or 2 that are interested also. Thank you Jim.
Had the pleasure of going to Jim’s studio for the first time last night. I am completely blown away by his knowledge. This man does not go through the motions. He puts every fiber of his being into his work. He is passionate about what he does and it shows. I will certainly be going back again. And again.
I have recently moved to the area and was looking for a good therapist. I am so glad I found Jim. The session was so good, and I felt better than I have in a year. I am planning on going back soon as I need the regular treatment. He is a great massage therapist that listens to you and constantly looks for feedback related to the therapy
Hands down the best massage I’ve ever had. I just moved into town and wanted to find a local masseuse I could go to on a regular basis for self care, tight muscles, and stress relief. Jim is so knowledgeable about the body, he listens and is focused on addressing any specific areas of concern you may have. I felt relaxed, balanced, and happy after my session. I can’t wait for my next massage.
Very knowledgable and professional. One session with Jim helped alleviate my hip and shoulder pain. Best therapeutic work I’ve had in a long time.
TL;DR version: Dont wait. Sign up for a membership today.I received a number of recommendations for Jims practice and even prior to my first appointment, his professionalism shone through our text message communications - to clarify my needs, in setting up my success in locating his studio, and in verifying our appointment time. Upon stepping into his studio, youre immediately awash in a purposefully created zone of tranquility.At the start of every session, Jim confers with you to identify any new tensions or areas which may need special focus. Ive found this to be crucial as it enables each session to be tailored to your specific and changing needs. From there, Jims extensive training in his trade is evident in the myriad of techniques he utilizes to address the issues we discussed and quite literally melt away my tensions. He also makes sure to check in periodically to make sure hes not causing any discomfort - its not a checkbox, he truly has empathy for clients/people.Ive been a member for about two months and started because of work-related injuries obtained from my warehouse job. Several injuries left me with diminished use of my body. The worst injury effectively crippled my left arm and hand. After each massage session, Ive regained usage and range of motion to the point where I can finally trust my grip on family heirlooms again. This is not something any massage therapist was likely to fix. Jim is just that well trained in the human anatomy and methods of healing.Ive recommended others who have eagerly picked up memberships. Why are you still reading and not already setting up your appointment? :)
Jim does excellent massage work. I’m so grateful I found him. I’ve been looking for someone to help with maintenance for my chronic back issues. Jim really knows what he is doing and is very professional and works out of a very nice serene environment. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a deep tissue work.
I had modest expectations going in with a lot of stress and muscle strain. My first experience was great. Jim was very responsive, thorough and effective. He seems exceptionally knowledgeable and well trained, too. Easily made my list of visits to schedule whenever Im in St. Pete.
I literally cannot say enough good things about my experience here. Jim is highly skilled and truly cares about his clients overall well-being. He is both personable and professional and goes above and beyond to make clients comfortable. Ten stars!!!
I was so overdue for this. Been hesitant due to the Covid, but Jim did everything to make me comfortable and safe. Honestly one of the best deep tissue massage Ive ever had. Jim was very responsive to my level of comfort. If you are looking for a massage therapist and deep tissue, you can not go wrong with Jim at St. Pete Massage Therapy, LLC.
This massage therapist is the absolute best! About a year ago I moved from Atlanta to St Petersburg and was so excited to find out that Jim had moved down as well! When in Atlanta I had used Jim as my exclusive massage therapist for years, and now I can continue to use Jims services to improve my health and fitness. I cant say it enough, he is a wonderful and talented therapist. In addition to massage, Jim also provides waxing and facials to his customers. One massage with Jim and you will be hooked! Thanks, Jim!!!
Jim was able to untangle knots that I didn’t know I had. The table heat warmer and warm towel facial were an added bonus.
I think what Jim does is amazing. I drive 2 hours to see him when I have massage therapists within 10 minutes of my house. He relieves my back pain and the rest of my body feels loose when he works. Bottom line, go visit him!
First time seeing Jim T. I am very happy with the massage. Very professional. Even stretches are part of the therapy. Very friendly. I thought it was great that he continues his education after decades in the business to stay up on the latest techniques. A+ Recommended!
Had my second appointment with Jim, (wanted to be sure first, lol), he does amazing work helping to relieve an issue I’ve had for over a year now-I appreciate the focus on the obvious problem, plus he shows & educates me on the rest of my body I didn’t even know I had issues with but definitely felt where the tensions were. I’m not a “massage person” normally, but already feeling the benefits!
I experience Jim as a consummate professional with a lot of experience in his field. I enjoyed the ambient music he played and found his deep tissue massage as well as abdominal work excellent. Thank you so much! I am glad you are in St. Pete :).
I got exactly the treatment I wanted and needed. Jim was engaging and friendly and used his healing hands expertly.
Jim @st pete massage knew exactly the specific positions on me to hit the spots hurting. He was spot on because he listened to my needs. Best deep tissue massage Ive had in years!!!
Jim’s 90 minute massage was life changing. I’ve never been more relaxed and he was able to keep consistent pressure throughout the whole time. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with him today.
Jim is extremely talented & courteous. Everytime I leave I feel like jello goodness. He pays attention to every body part & makes you feel totally complete. Best massage ever. Highly recommend.
Im impressed with Jims skills and professionalism. He was able to address my TMJD pain and other concerns. I will book again in the future!
Id add a few more stars to skill. I had an excellent massage with Jim. His skill on leg work was excellent. I liked how Jim works on your body all at once. Not your typical start at the neck and work down.
I met Jim 14 years ago when I lived in Atlanta. I now live in Chicago and have yet to find a person as professional and talented as Jim. Whenever I travel to Tampa/St Pete, the first thing I do is schedule a 90 minute massage. You will NOT be disappointed!
My massage experience at St Pete massage was great. Jim is very knowledgeable about kinesiology and anatomy and was always checking to make sure I was comfortable. I wanted a deep tissue massage and that is what I received.
Jim was amazing! My back was agony when I booked my appointment and I left feeling like new. I cant thank Jim enough! Dont hesitate to book a massage. You will not be disappointed.
Jim gave a great deep tissue massage. He was professional and the office was clean and comfortable. Definitely plan to return!
Jim was very responsive in setting up appointment. Very welcoming and professional. He really knows his trade. Was able to work the problem areas without feeling rushed. Very clean facility with easy off street parking.

Highly recommend. Definitely returning. Don’t hesitate to book an appointment with Jim. He really knows his stuff. Thoughtful, professional and meticulous. I feel so much better already.

His expertise is phenomenal! He can intuitively read and understand what each muscle needs. Ive found my new therapist!!!
Jim is a fabulous masseuse who knows how to tailor to the needs of each client. I sent my fiancee here and she spoke very highly of her experience.

Always feel better after Jim’s massage! Great energy and super thorough. Thank you so much, Jim! Can’t wait to come back!!!
Very thorough in asking questions about points of concern and sincere in exploring solutions. Jim is very genuine with his clients and his craft.
I have had two sessions with him and my body feels like I am 24 again. I am 33 years old and sometimes have lower back issues and he has addressed them. I am booking weekly as a regular because of his skill set and knowledge. I cant say enough
