I wouldn’t go to this place unless you want people illegally touching on you. The massage was not a quality massage. I honestly think the employees were still learning and they use the square device to swipe your card on their phone which saves your card for next time which caused my bank to issue me a new debit card just in case. The energy was just weird. It wasn’t a relaxing environment it was just a walk-in clinic with different rooms that have massage beds in them. It’s not the worst place, but there was no nothing there just me and the guy doing my massage in a big building behind a busy main road. There was a lot of foot traffic and didn’t seem as if the place got business constantly but I don’t know it’s just the vibe. But I would look up other places before trying this place. It just seemed like a bunch of different massage artists working on their own time in and out or whatever.
I wanted to start this review by saying that I am getting back to taking some time for myself and working on self-care again. I have been to a couple of other masseurs, and they have been great massages, but my experience with Keegan Langan was by far the best. Not only was he attentive to providing a deep tissue massage with the right amount of pressure, but I was more relaxed with this massage than in previous, that I fell asleep twice. As an ICU nurse and a graduate student, I find that I hold a lot of stress in my back and have had these knots that just wont go away until Keegan took a crack at them. Not only was he focused on providing an assessment but coming up with a schedule to have subsequent massages to continue to work on my problem areas. I highly recommend his expertise.
I dont normally write reviews, but Ive been getting massages from Katherine for over 5 years & its about time I let people know how awesome she is! I have had numerous problems in my neck & shoulders (slipped disks, arthritis, bone spurs, rotator cuff issues, etc.) for years, and have been through every kind of treatment/therapy you can name. Massages for me are not for relaxation - they are necessary therapy. From the first time I saw Katherine she took the time to listen to my issues and address them thoroughly using awesome special neck massage techniques that no one had ever tried on me before. For 3 years I saw her regularly at least every 2 weeks; more frequently when I could manage it. I honestly believe if it werent for Katherine I would not have been able to continue working my desk/computer job because of the strain & pain it caused in my neck.Katherine has frequently given me advice on home remedies & techniques to try to help me stay as pain-free as possible in between visits. Now that Im not working my visits are less frequent but I will never stop getting massages from Katherine. If you are suffering from any kind of muscle strain, back pain, etc., you need to visit Katherine at Therapeutic Arts. She is patient, she listens, and she knows exactly how to provide the right level of pressure to be the most effective. I have referred several friends & family members to Katherine and they have also been highly satisfied. I cant recommend her highly enough!
Ive been seeing Katherine for quite a while now for a 90 minute deep tissue massage weekly and she is amazing! I have chronic muscle and lower back pain and she is able to help me alleviate it without any additional medication needed. Before I started seeing her I was in constant, terrible pain. Now my weekly massage keeps everything in line and my pain has diminished dramatically and sometimes disappears completely. Ill be a client for life!
I have been getting massages from Keegan Langan for about 3 years. Im a VERY frequent flyer, and Keegan is a fantastic therapist! The office is in a lovely, peaceful location which really enhances the overall relaxing vibe!! HIGHLY recommend!
A great massage. Katherine interviews you to determine if a specific area needs work, then uses her trained digits to help the muscle or tendon issue. Although far from my home, I dont go elsewhere for a spa massage that simply moisturizes and soothes, I go here for a massage that improves my weary body.
Bess is wonderful! The most educated and highly trained therapeutic masseuse I have ever experienced. I have bilateral peripheral neuropathy and she is the ONLY person that has ever been able to help me control my pain and get me on the path to wellness. I only hope that she will be able to stay here FOREVER! Thank you, Bess and Therapeutic Arts for helping me control my pain and getting me on the path to wellness. You are better than ANY pain management doctor there is in this area.
Bess Wood & Therapeutic Arts provide a great THERAPEUTIC massage, based on myofascial science. If youve only had spa-type massages in the past (where moisturising cream is gently rubbed in, but no real muscle release work is done), and are looking for a massage that specifically works out your knots and kinks, give Ms Wood a try. Worth travelling to and waiting for!
Bess, reviews your complants, comes up with a plan, you both agree and away goes some of your sorness. She will get you to work with her for your improvement. Bess works very hard to get you to respond to the therapeutic message as it hepls you but you must be part of the message. Let her know, what is happening as she works in areas YOU want relief in. I have had 10 appointment and all were great. Others in her field visit for theropy!
Professional, definitely knows her muscles. Takes time to do a thorough job. Good atmosphere, music, lotion. Would have liked to have had a full body massage, but there just wasnt enough time.
I have been getting massages from Katherine for probably 3 1/2 years now. Highly recommended for managing pain!!!
Bess is the best. Her professional service is outstanding. She has thorough knowledge and experience show each time she works on me. She takes the time to keep me healthy.
Katherine is amazing. I felt so much better after just having one massage with her.
