I'm seeing Ben for an MVA for a few months now and I've seen a big improvement. I'm also seeing a chiropractor that does soft tissue manipulation, an acupuncturist, and a physical therapist but Ben does techniques none of the others will touch. I used to be massage therapist and I've had at least a hundred massages and he's a standout for therapeutic massage. I'm so grateful I found him and I can't recommend him enough if you've got a specific issue/body part that needs serious work!

I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage today with Jennifer and it was definitely an above average massage. I've technically had better massages, but on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being utterly amazing I'd give the massage a 7.5 or 8. I would have preferred longer, slower movements and the massage as a whole felt more like a routine than anything intuitive, but she still got my knots out and I almost fell asleep a few times so it was definitely good :)

Benjamin is incredible. I’ve been doing professional massages for the last decade and have seen probably 30+ different therapist and he is the best I’ve experienced. He’s really tuned into your body and energy. He also wears a masks and you do as well while face up to make sure you’re both protected in these covid days. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I recently received a massage from Jacob Bruns and it was fantastic! I have had a recurring should injury and he was really able to go deep into that area and release a lot of tension. it was hard to describe the technique, but all i have to say is I would recommend him for anyone especially for sports medicine/ deep tissue work. I feel great and so appreciative of his work! Thank you Jacob!!!!

Jacob's calm demeanor and intuitive sensibilities make him a great healer. He takes great care to customize each massage to the needs of your body, mind, and spirit at each session. His breadth of knowledge and skillful technique are evident in the different touch techniques that he uses to provide a relaxing and therapeutic massage.

I decided to make an appointment with Alison after my body was aching from exploring downtown for hours on end. I was not disappointed in the slightest. I've never had a massage therapist work on my hips and she dug into my hips, glutes, and hamstrings in an amazing way. If I had the money, I'd probably go again before I leave town. I left the office without any shoulder and hip pain for the first time in a long time.

Visiting from SF for thanksgiving I'm glad these guys were open. Jacob is magic. Loved the essential oils that were used. I went with the 30 min massage and he worked all the tension in my neck upper back and lower back and after gave me tips on stretches I can do at my desk. Whenever I'm back in Portland will definitely come back here.

I've only received about a dozen deep tissue massages, so I'm not an expert but I recently had a massage at AG by Alison. It was the best massage I've had so far. She is very experienced and used a variety of techniques to address the areas I requested. My take away is that it's better for me to seek out seasoned pros that have continued to expand their knowledge. I definitely will return.

My wife and I wanted to have a couples massage while we were on vacation in Portland. I decided on AG Massage because of the 5-star reviews.
My wife and I had never had a massage before. They explained the process very well and answered all of my questions before I even had to ask them.
The whole experience was very comfortable and relaxing. I am happy that I had the massage on the last day of my trip because I had done so much walking that my feet were starting to cramp up in the previous days. I am happy to say that I haven't had trouble with my feet all day after the massage, and the

My husband and I had couples massages from Alison and Kathleen two times in the past month and we had a great experience both times. Kathleen met his needs for athletic recovery (which is usually not the case for my husband with massage) and Alison did an amazing job addressing my back, neck, and hip concerns. We both appreciated the techniques our respective massage therapists used and felt that they really knew what they were doing! We would definitely return to AG massage the next time we treat ourselves.

Was in town and wanted some relaxation and I was fortunate enough to book a massage here. The massage therapist was welcoming and sweet. She used enough pressure and I felt like she was very intuitive with her touch. She was very strong and had some new techniques and definitly focused on the areas I asked her to. I will definitely come back when I am in town!

I have to say that Alison is a fantastic masseuse. I have, over the years, had many different massage experiences and she is one of few at the top of my list. I comfortably recommend her to others who ask for a good massage therapist. She is intuitive, strong and fluid in her practice. She is professional and easy to talk to. The space is very nice to visit as well, it has an airy and spacious appeal that feels welcoming and warm. I am active physically both at work and play and I have some chronic repetitive motion issues. Alison addresses these specific issues with the right amount of depth to

Alison takes great care in carefully selecting her team of athletic hands to work your muscles into submission and full relaxation. Well worth every penny--they work to make it affordable for most. The classy and historic building in a neighborhood of modern updates is the perfect reflection of their work.
I always enjoy treating myself to their holistic approach of mind, body, and spirit.

Melted. That is the best way to describe how I feel every time I leave AG Massage. I am so grateful to have experienced many massages by Kathleen Bailey over the last several years. Like many people, I tend to hold tension and stress primarily in my neck and shoulders. Without even having to tell her, Kathleen always knows exactly where I need a little extra work done and definitely works it out! Schedule an appointment with Kathleen and I promise you will not be disappointed...

I’ve been going to AG Massage over the years for both relaxation and repair.
Alison is very easy to speak with about your needs and she does an amazing job.
The location is convenient and the building is quiet. The rooms are relaxing and thoughtful. I love how easy it is to schedule a massage online any time of the day.

My husband goes to see Ashley a few times a year and at his last appointment, he had an important meeting, so I went in his place. Best decision I ever made! I was dealing with some high-level projects at work, so I was extremely stressed and tensed. Ashley was able to work out all of the knots and tension and I felt like a whole new person after I left. It was amazing. The atmosphere is also serene and calming. It was a great overall experience.

I've been to at least 20-30 different massage therapists in my lifetime; yet for the last 5 years, this is the only place I have gotten massage. Once you find perfection, why go elsewhere?
Alison and her staff are consistently excellent. They are always attuned to my needs, whether I have extra computer-related stress or a weekend warrior knee injury. The atmosphere is warm, relaxing, cozy, and comfortable.
This is not a cookie-cutter spa or corporate franchise. It is a locally-owned small business and you can tell in the details. You can tell that Alison really cares about your experience

I've been going to Allison for a few years now and everytime I leave I think 'That was the best massage I've ever had!'. Everytime I go to someone else I leave kicking myself thinking I should have gone to Allison. She is very professional and the space is very clean, warm and comforting. You won't be disappointed.
