Massage in Albany

“Brought my 14 year old here for help in recovering from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). We did the Neurofeedback machine for about a month and it definitely helped his recovery. We're back for round 2 b/c he recently suffered a concussion and is still dealing with symptoms. Definitely worth it!“

“Dr. Cohen & the team at Innate has genuinely saved my life! If I could give ten stars, I would. I have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), and I could not ask for a better chiropractor. I have tried many practitioners who could barely keep me walking, and Dr. Cohen was able to get me out of support braces, stuck in bed most days in pain, and now I am dancing on my feet again! He is not only an excellent chiropractor, but also an incredibly kind, empathetic, and caring person who treats my chronic full-body condition with a gentle, effective, mind-body-spirit approach. The combination of chiropractic, PDTR, NET, and everything else that Dr. Cohen uses has been so effective. The other practitioners I have seen, Dr. Jen, Dr. Furda, Kenny Givens (massage therapist), and Michael Huff (orthobionomy) are all also very excellent, knowledgeable, and kind. Kenny Givens is my favorite medical massage therapist and I always come out of my appointments feeling better! The front desk staff is fantastic as well, Randi especially is so sweet and helpful. I recommend Innate to literally everyone I know, especially my friends with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome & other chronic conditions. Thank you so much to everyone at Innate for significantly improving my quality of life!“

“I absolutely love going to Joyce! She’s attentive, highly skilled, and truly knows her craft. She has an amazing ability to understand what’s going on with my body—even when I’m not entirely aware myself! I've had several injuries, and since I've been seeing Joyce, I've noticed real improvements. I always leave feeling refreshed and more balanced. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and intuitive therapist!“

“Very professional, clean and friendly staff. I did enjoy my treatment here. I will totally come back here.“

“I’ve been to Thailand and these ladies are on the same level as what you get there. Just incredible. I’d go here when my back was in shambles (specify what you want and don’t want before the massage if you have an injury), and I still come as often as I can. They’re all great, best massages I’ve ever had in the US have been here!“

“I've seen Tank several times and will say that considering them simply an "acupuncturist" is a total undersell. They are a healer that's very passionate about the various modalities of Chinese medicine including acupuncture. In fact, our first session was mostly a qigong session. I had to experience it to believe that I could actually feel them moving qi against me without actually physically touching me, and afterwards I was able to confirm that what I sensed (eyes closed) was what they were doing. It was totally wild. Besides their skills and knowledge, Tank is just such a good listener. I love the first part of our sessions because they really ask good questions and are completely present for the conversation. I can tell they really want to know the whole context to help a person. One thing that Tank is especially good at is being sensitive to sensitive people. I get cold easily and am sensitive to noise, and every time they get the ultra-crinkly mylar blanket to warm me up (it's very light so it doesn't disturb the needles, but also super noisy), they put it on me with exquisite care to ensure the noise isn't detracting from the experience. That is just how they do things - with exquisite care. Highly recommend going to see Tank for holistic care through the lens of Chinese medicine!“

“Fantastic selection of superb formulas. I can get anything I need plus a top notch herbalist, all in one place. I wish I could give 6 stars. Thank you Shen Clinic, you are number one!!!“

“A relief to find the care of Joanne. This year I caught up on several Dr appointments, but none of them were as thorough and thoughtful as Joanne. Not only is her care competent but I experienced immediate relief! Mind you, I was experiencing chest pain that no one could help me get resolved and after just one visit, Joanne had produced change for me! It was kind of hard to believe. After having a few visits now, I would highly recommend the care of Joanne for massage, especially if you’re struggling with pain.“

“Joe is an incredible practitioner. His hands are magic and his attention and care are very healing. He has helped me with chronic pain in my hips and also an intense bout of TMJ pain. Coulddn't recommend more!“

“Ronda is fantastic! She was able to help me with chronic spinal injury pain that other therapists could not help. She has so much experience with her skills that she can feel the body and know what needs to be worked on. Her kindness and knowledge was a true gift in my life.“

“Taylor is so good at his craft that he's booked out 7 months. My wife and I have tried many different massage therapists over the years and are very thankful we found Taylor. He's truly the best. We both see him regularly for therapeutic bodywork -- he is incredibly strong, understands body mechanics and leverage, and knows how to find knots you never knew existed and really get in there. The fact that he's also funny, interesting, and can hold a conversation is a bonus!“

“Alexis is a wonderful acupuncture practitioner. His practice feels partially informed by the many years he's spent in practice and study-- while also guided by his wonderful instincts. He is thoughtful and has a gentle touch. I am slowly healing my chronic low back/ hip pain through work with Alexis. I am very grateful to have found this practice!“

“Rachel Alkire -- what a gem!! She is one of the most genuine, caring, generous, and thoughtful practitioners I have come across in the medical/healing space. At 38 weeks pregnant I had an acute/urgent issue and even though I hadn't seen her for an appointment in many months, she immediately responded to my message with a phone call and provided a wealth of sage knowledge and advice. Both her kindness and her holistic medical wisdom shine through when you interact with her. Highly recommend.“

“Laura took such good care of our family during our postpartum period after we welcomed baby #2 to the family. She helped take care of all of our family (including our toddler and dog), allowing me to get the rest I needed. Her expertise as a lactation consultant also made a huge difference in the early days for our breastfeeding journey. I am so grateful to Laura for helping start us off on the right foot as a family of four.“

“My pain is way a lot better than before. Lada is so kind and sweet. Very peaceful and clean vibe. Will be back for sure. “

“I LOVE StretchLab! The Albany shop has the greatest Flexologists known to man or woman!! Ina, Marie, Lucia & Danny have all helped me so much! I initially went in after Kaiser had diagnosed me with IT Band inflammation - Kaiser's solution? Phone session with a Physical Therapist & then sent some videos to watch & follow!! That was IT!

My first session at StretchLab, I had Ina - a trained PT in her home country - who was amazing . . . . .. I literally felt like skipping out of that first session. What I really like about StretchLab is that each Flexer takes notes on your session & condition on that day so when I was unable to book Ina again for awhile - she is so popular! Marie then Lucia then Danny were all able to pick up on my progress & continue the notes!

The management is so responsive & hands on . . . . .Shahria is there almost every time I come in. . . . that is very nice to see! All of the staff are such great folks & I thank the Universe daily for being able to find tham . . . . thanks Kaiser! You did me a favor!“

“My masseuse was very friendly, very professional, and she had very strong hands! I was impressed. It was a warm day, and the place was maybe a little too warm, but that was really my only complaint.“

“Linda did a great job - good even pressure and good handling of the hot stone. Great to have on-site parking in a raining day. Room is spacious and semi private. Mostly quiet. Highly recommended this place.“

“This is nirvana, from the smell when you enter the establishment, to the inspirations on the bathroom wall, to the kindness and talent of every person here. Treatment for body *and* soul. They have my abiding gratitude.“

“Julia is one of the best masseuse I have ever had! I initially was introduced to her at my chiropractors office after a terrible car accident.
I have been going to her since 2019, and she's super consistent! I like that she touches base with you before, during and after the massage as well. Her approach is tailored to your needs, and I almost always fall asleep or go into a twilight every time she works on me. I would highly recommend her to anyone.“

“5+ stars!!! What a great experience!! And the people who work here are so nice. We first went to the hot tub. It is outside and wonderful. Then we headed to the sauna. If you have never been to a Finnish sauna, you must try this place out! It is not like a sauna at a gym or hot springs. It’s the real deal. And can essentially get as hot as you can handle. Soooo good! I felt toxins releasing from deep within.

The facility is super clean. And it feels really nice.

Lovely experience!!! And v healthy too.“
