About At Olney Massage
At Olney Massage is a family business that has been operating since 2007. The massage therapist is described as absolute magic, the best around, and incredibly skilled and thorough. Clients always know they are in good hands, leaving feeling absolutely amazing and well on their way to feeling better. The therapist pays amazing attention to a client’s breathing and tension level, is incredibly considerate of any discomfort, and tailors every massage to fit current needs. She is not heavy-handed and will back off if there is too much pain. Techniques like hot stones or gua sha are offered intuitively if she thinks they will help. The environment is a comfortable, inviting, private, relaxing, and aesthetically pleasing room. The therapist is a pleasure to talk to but also has no issues providing a quiet, relaxing atmosphere if preferred. The business is noted for its easy online scheduling system, which allows clients to manage and reschedule appointments conveniently, though phone calls are also an option. It is important to note that they do not accept walk-ins and are generally unable to accommodate last-minute or same-day requests. All openings for the next 90 days are listed on the website, and clients should leave a voicemail if their desired time is not listed. E-gifts are also available.
I came to Olney Massage after a bad experience at a chiropractor left me in more pain but afraid to go back to another chiro to try to fix it. I’d gone to massage therapists before over the years, but none of them were still practicing in the area—so I did a Google search for massage in Olney and found Cynthia Given. And I’m eternally grateful for that. Cynthia, who near-immediately told me to call her Cindy, is one of the most thorough and skilled massage therapists I’ve had the fortune to meet. My first appointment with her started with time set aside for her to get health information and background from me, which set me at ease—she didn’t just expect me to ditch my clothes and hop up on the table. I felt like she took the time to get to know who I was and what I needed before we began our first session. The private massage room and massage table are comfortable and inviting, and Cindy takes care to create a relaxing and aesthetically pleasing environment in which to work her magic. The massage itself was one of the best I’d ever had, and Cindy was incredibly considerate of any discomfort on my end. She was also a pleasure to talk to, if you’re one of those people who like to talk instead of fall asleep during your massage. I left that first day feeling so much better and more relaxed—not healed yet, but well on my way. In only a few more sessions, I was back to my old self, and Cindy deserves full credit. I now make sure to schedule at least one session per month (the 80-minute massage is the best; trust me, I started with 60 minutes but have never looked back!) to make sure I keep my back and neck from getting to knotted up with stress. Cindy never disappoints. Do yourself a favor, and schedule a session—your entire body will thank you!
