Fabian is dope‼ Knowledgeable && great customer service. I highly recommended him if you have any issues to fix with your body. He definitely knows what he's doing...Ive been having issues with my hip && been going to different massages, Bowen therap, && even a chiropractor, but none of it helped. Came to active bodywork and Fabian got right to the root of the issue. I appreciate it...

I have been coming to Active Bodywork for about a year and a half now and absolutely love it. When I get a massage, I want to know that it is doing good for my body and here, I know they are working magic. This is not the place to go if you want a nice relaxing back rub. It will hurt, but they will get the knots out of your body and put you back into place. I come here for the deep tissue massages to complement my running training and feel as though Active Bodywork has definitely helped me avoid injuries.

If you're looking for a place to relax, listen to tranquil zen music, and bask in comfort... then don't go here.
But if you're looking for a place to actually get the knots out, help you with muscle aches and pains, and gain some knowledge about movement and flexibility, then you've just found the best spot ever.
I've been going to Active Bodywork for over a year. After my first couple visits, I eventually joined their monthly membership which is a great deal if you have sessions on a regular basis. I visit Michelle at least once a month to help out with muscle pains

Courtney is amazing. She took the time to hear my story and asked several questions about the activities that I do. When I told her that I take spin class primarily for exercise she knew exactly where to work on me as well as the zones I had pointed to her to.I left there feeling much less tight and with some tips on how to stretch everyday!
If you have chronic injury or you need to work on a problem area I highly recommend Active Bodywork and Courtney!

I recently visited Active Bodywork after a friend recommended it to me and let me just say, I'm extremely grateful as this place has changed my life.
Let me give you a bit of background information. I'm 24 and have always had back pain due to having scoliosis. I live a pretty active lifestyle and my back and body just kill me sometimes. After one massage with Todd I truly felt like I had a brand new back. As hilarious as that sounds, I truly felt like I had a new back. I woke up the next morning after the massage feeling great and ready to take on the world.
I'm so happy that

I had an appointment today after years of dealing with aches and pains from running. It was truly amazing, after one session I feel so much better. Michelle was really knowledgeable and helpful with my specific issues and gave me some exercises and stretches to do on my own. I did not know this type of massage therapy existed or that it was so awesome. I will be definitely be going back.

I had a massage with Terasita this week and she was great! We had a conversation about what I do (as far as working out) we talked about what my body is feeling and what I'd like to focus on.
Terasita is very knowable about the body, and is passionate about helping others - which I love! Not only did I have a great massage, but I learned a few things as we talked during the massage as well. We geeked out over the body, helping others, training, injuries...it was a really good experience.
I like that she checked in with me throughout the massage and told me what she was doing, as well as

A welcoming environment with the best patient care. It was my first time there and I will definitely be visiting again in a couple weeks because of the new intern Teresita. She was polite, thorough, & very professional in treatment.
I look forward to my next appointment of getting these running legs back to feeling fresh!!

First time ever going something like this. I do several of sports and intensive workouts. I have been having some lower back pain recently and tried to take care of it on my own. Unfortunately it agitated it.
They were super helpful in explaining the mechanics of the body and sometimes it may seem to us that because it hurts in a specific area, that's where it should be concentrated, in this case it wasn't that.
Having lower back pain came with an intense deep massage in the hips, gluted, thighs, and lower back. I am very happy and satisfied with the services. I feel great!

I cannot talk highly enough of the therapists at Active Bodywork. I've been seeing Hunter but all the therapists are great at what they do! They can work out so much more tension in your muscles than you can do alone. I won't lie, it does hurt while during it, but it's a great hurt that is totally worth it since it releases the tension. I highly recommend!!!

Active Bodywork had a booth at a recent running event I attended. I had been struggling with a ridiculously tight IT band for weeks and thought any treatment, despite the quality would help, so I ventured over. Natasha was there and went to work, and WOW!
She was absolutely amazing, she went right to the spot and in just the short time I was on the table made a huge difference in the way by body moved and felt.
I will be going back to her for sure!

Finally a therapist who listens to me.
Not just a massage but Natasha focused her attention the the issues with my legs and gluts. I left with real relief for the first time in months and still two months later the relief has been constant. Best sports massage in town. Give yourself a treat and go find some relief.
