5 out of 5
I've been in dire need of a massage since moving to Coram. The move took a lot out of me. I have chronic back problems, as well as carpotunnel. Based on the reviews here, I decided to give them a try. I was not disappointed. My wife and I went together, and both got the introductory priced 1 hour (50 min) massage.
We were greeted professionally, and given paperwork to fill out. Both the greeter AND the therapists took time to discuss our particular issues before starting. The greeter assigned a therapist based on what we needed, and the therapists adjusted based on what we told them, and continued to adjust through the entire hour.
Personally, I require someone with a firm hand - I have a lot of muscle tightness and swollen tendons. My therapist had the strength required to really address the problem spots. She wasn't shy about using pressure, checked on me when something hurt. I told her that if it got to be too much, I'd tell her specifically - and instead of being paranoid when I said "ouch" she simply continued on. EXACTLY what I needed. Sometimes it's gotta hurt a bit to feel better in the long run.
When everything was over, we were NOT accosted going out to sign up for a plan or anything. I knew ahead of time that there were memberships, but no costs were posted. I like that they allowed ME to ask about it, rather than try to hard-sell me. They simply explained what it was, and that was it. The therapists made it a point to give us a card with their schedule on it.
The value, I must admit, was significantly good. I have no objection to paying $59 for an hour massage, especially when it lives up to my expectations and more. My wife was equally satisfied, and we both purchased a membership. I'm looking forward to my future visits, and I highly recommend this franchise to others.
