Tom Clift is the best massage therapist I have ever encountered. He has kept my back, shoulders, and neck going, even when arthritic and a candidate for surgery for several years.

Just passing through Utah, but was experiencing a LOT of neck/upper back pain from too much computer work. Scheduled a 90 min massage with Chris R and I'm so thankful I did. She did an AMAZING job and I immediately felt better. I could feel her stretching my neck and back and the muscles relaxing as she worked. Highly recommend her and I only wish I lived here so I could see her regularly.

These caring knowledgeable people have what it takes to help you on your journey to better health. Between Carleen, Cheyanne and Lara. I went from not being able to walk without pain, to reaching a higher quality of life. The body work and energy work is totally amazing!!!!

The environment here is very relaxing and peaceful! There is so much healing that goes on. They have so many options to choose, from massage, to chiropractic, to body contouring with light. All of the people working here are nice and friendly, and they have a very nice lobby with couches and chairs if you are waiting or supporting a friend or loved one. There are so many different types of massage therapy and so many different ways to heal, and they have five or more therapists for different types of aches, pains, or soreness. These are some amazing people here and deserve to be recognized for

I'm coming back! Cedar City is such a good place to unwind from the big city anyway, but Rhonda really helped my weekend be more relaxing! Keep up the good work, I'll be back for another!
