I've been here twice since my cancer diagnosis three years ago. The first time was with Andres, the second time was with Nicole, who was fabulous but is no longer there. I had a stressful week with the passing of my sister and needed a massage so I booked online and left work early only to be rudely told by Andres that I would not be getting a massage because I had cancer (again, three years ago) and he didn't have special "Oncology massage" training. (He didn't seem to mind the first time I came in.) I've worked in Oncology for 30 years and have never heard such rubbish. I've had several massages since my diagnosis. Andres cited the website of a local cancer center. Well, guess where I work! There is nothing on the JP Massage website stating this "policy" or I wouldn't have bothered booking. I've since spoken to several massage therapists who seem to think this is crazy. If anything, massage is good for cancer patients and there is no special training necessary. Had Andres displayed a modicum of tact or compassion or even offered a solution, this review would have received two stars.
Had my first ever massage with Tatiana and really enjoyed myself. She was so thoughtful and patient and walked me through each step of the process. Highly recommend and looking forward to coming back for a seasonal treat.
My partner and I received really great massages here last weekend. While we were waiting in the lobby, Will noticed me looking at the diagrams on the wall and went out of his way to explain to me some of the theory and recommended some more resources so me my partner can give each other better at-home massages. I received a massage from Serge who I'm convinced is one of the most amazing humans on the planet. He was great at receiving and integrating feedback throughout, I felt safe and comfortable and received a massage well worth the money. I left feeling lighter and loosey as all goosey, I was basically a pile of ramen noodles the rest of the day. We spoke during the massage which I wasn't sure about at first, but the conversation quickly turned into warm butter melting into the experience as we spoke about the growth we've both done during the pandemic, how we've come to see the world and our roles in it, fear, love, memories, meditation, growing up. I paid for a deep tissue massage and ended up receiving a massage on my mind, body, and soul. I also know if I had also asked for silence he would have abided. I would recommend JP Massage Center, the staff is friendly and inviting, the massages are high quality and fairly priced. $10 off coupon if it's your first time by filling out the form under the 'Contact Us' tab on the website!
I had a wonderful massage from Rachel. She asked me a lot of questions to make sure I had a nicely customized session and it seemed like she truly cared about my well-being. I hope to come back in the future. I'd give 5 stars but the ambiance left a little to be desired and it was a little confusing to get in. That being said, the prices are good. I'd rather pay less for a massage than pay extra for fancy lobby.
FANTASTIC experience at JP Massage Therapy Center. I got a massage with Rachel -- she was superb! I came for an evening massage after work. Scheduling was so simple -- a quick phone call, and lots of availability to suit my busy schedule. When I came into the center, it was immediately relaxing -- dim lighting and soothing music. Rachel immediately greeted me and gave me a few quick forms to fill out to best understand what were the problem areas of my body. I was then given a quick consult by Rachel to talk about what areas I wanted to focus on. The table was very comfortable, with a nice fluffy blanket for the cold day. Rachel then worked their magic! They used a perfect amount of pressure to knead away all the aches and sores from my back, jaw and legs. Rachel was so kind and we had a great chat during the session. I will absolutely be back after my fantastic experience. Thank you so much!!
Had a great massage here from Rachel. My neck has always had a few trouble spots and she was able to relax them all. My wife also had a great prenatal massage here. It is a place we will definitely visit again.
Hands down the best massage place I've found in Boston. Their prices are so much more affordable than other places and the quality is awesome. I've been going to Andrew every couple months for over a year now, and he's great. I've seen all three therapists and they're all great, but Andrew is my favorite. He always asks a lot of questions and tailors the massage to exactly what I need that visit. The salon is no frills but comfortable and they do a great job making you feel comfortable and relaxed. I love it here and always look forward to my next visit.
I've had many massages in my life and even owned a massage business and Andres is without a doubt the best of the best. I saw him a few weeks ago when I was in great need of some deep tissue work, suffering from serious neck, shoulder, and jaw pain. Andres used a combination of techniques Essentially rendering me pain free the next day. He also took the time to listen to my issues and taught me some stretches I have since been using at home allowing me to continue feeling great. I plan on seeing him regularly to maintain this feeling. His Massage skills are impressive! I have already recommended him to many and would highly recommend him if you're looking for a skilled, compassionate massage therapist for deep tissue work!
