“I can honestly say that working with Hanh at Tough Love Massage has made a huge difference in my quality of life.<br><br>I had been dealing with chronic pain in my left ankle for quite some time. Some mornings, I could barely walk down the stairs. I saw a podiatrist, had X-rays and an MRI, was given strengthening exercises and a soft ankle brace, and then spent about three months in physical therapy. Unfortunately, none of it gave me any meaningful improvement.<br><br>I was eventually introduced to Hanh. She listened carefully, evaluated the area, quickly identified where she believed the problem was coming from, and developed a treatment plan.<br><br>I won’t sugarcoat it — the deep tissue treatments were painful, especially in the beginning. This is not a relaxing spa massage. But most importantly, it worked!<br><br>I started seeing Hanh two to three times a week, and after about three months, the ankle pain that had been limiting me was essentially gone. I could walk normally, go down the stairs without dreading it, move freely, and get back to being active and playing pickleball.<br><br>That experience completely changed how I think about massage. I used to think of massage primarily as relaxation. I don’t anymore. For me, it has become part of staying active, recovering from exercise, maintaining mobility, managing muscle tension, and feeling better overall. Massage is also increasingly used by active people and athletes to help with muscle soreness, flexibility, tension, and recovery.<br><br>I’m now on a maintenance schedule with Hanh, and I’ve learned that if I go too long between sessions, I can feel the tension gradually starting to return. Massage has become part of taking care of my body, just like exercise, stretching, and strengthening.<br><br>I also recently discussed this with my doctor during my annual physical. He agreed that deep tissue massage can be helpful in managing muscular tension and pain and, interestingly, shared that he had experienced something similar himself.<br><br>Hanh has more than 20 years of experience, and it shows. She isn’t simply going through the motions of giving you a massage. She pays attention to what your body is telling her, identifies problem areas, and works on them with purpose. There is a big difference between getting a massage and getting therapeutic bodywork from someone who truly understands what she is doing.<br><br>I think more people dealing with chronic aches, tightness, limited mobility, or recurring muscular pain — especially those who want to stay active — should consider massage therapy as part of their overall wellness plan. It may not replace mainstream medical care or physical therapy, but in my case, after seeing a podiatrist, having imaging done, doing exercises, wearing a brace, and spending three months in PT, Hanh’s deep tissue work was what finally made the difference. I strongly recommend that health insurance include this kind of treatment regime in their coverage.<br><br>Deep tissue massage works for me, and Hanh is a master in what she does.<br><br>I highly recommend Hanh and Tough Love Massage to my friends, family, and anyone looking for truly therapeutic deep tissue massage.”
“First time there Went to relieve lower back pain Lisa did a great job, did a strong deep tissue massage My back and shoulders feel better than they have in a while Will definitely repeat”
“Courtney is amazing! She’s professional, personable and made me feel so comfortable throughout the massage! (I was apprehensive to have one) She concentrated on specific muscles that have been bothering me and I can’t say enough about how much lighter and relaxed I felt after her massage! She truly has “magic hands!” 🥰 I will do it again in the future!!!!”
“I had a facial by Kelly.<br>It’s been been years since I’ve had a facial, but this has been the best facial I’ve ever had. My face looks 10 years younger. I feel great. I highly recommend getting a facial by Kelly.”
“Most fantastic massage. I’m recovering from double surgeries(neck/back).Melanie worked on my tight neck and upper back muscles to help relieve the pain from surgery. surgeon had approved massage with precautions and Mel followed the “Prescription” to a tee. I have the utmost confidence in her abilities and “@compassion””
“First visit today with Sarah A. She is amazing! Already booked my next appointment. I can't wait for no more headaches and to be pain free, I am confident that Sarah will fix me...Phenomenal job Sarah! Thank You!”
“This place is amazing! Everyone is so welcoming and so friendly. Laura did my half and half (half relaxation/ half deep tissue) and it exactly what I needed. I powerlift, and as a consequence, I get super sore and tight. She work out all my knot and rough spots, all while listening to me yap. She is absolutely delightful and I couldn't have asked for a better massage therapist. You guys rock!”
“I’ve been here twice now and plan to keep coming back. I was in rough shape and per a friends recommendation was told this was the place for a great deep tissue massage. Jim, the owner, is great and the space is clean, services and prices straight forward, he even has some products such as soaking salts and such. I love how easy it is to book an appt and just the simple process of walking in and getting a great massage.”
“I had been here several times. Each time has been wonderful. My Masseuse was an expert and friendly. I Highly recommend.”
“Sanctuary Salon & Spa is truly a hidden gem! When I say hidden, I mean it—it’s a little tricky to find, and the parking lot can be challenging, especially after dark. But once you step inside, it’s absolutely worth it. The space is cozy and beautifully decorated (it looked amazing for the holidays!).<br><br>I visited last Wednesday for my first massage at Sanctuary, and honestly, it might have been the best massage I’ve ever had. Naomi was incredible—she had the perfect balance of pressure for a Swedish massage, and I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed.<br><br>I will definitely be back and highly recommend this spa to anyone looking for a wonderful, relaxing experience!”
“I have been seeing Michelle for years. She is an excellent and knowledgeable massage therapist. I work in the dental field and I need maintenance to be able to work. She relieves my tension and pain. She has gifted hands. I Highly recommend her”
“I have to say, I was very surprised to see any negative reviews. I have seen Dr. C for years and the results I got with him are amazing. Not only did he correctly diagnose a hip problem that my orthopedist thought was a back problem, he got me back to playing volleyball within 2 weeks. AMAAAZING. I also have seen their acupuncturist, Cathy as well as 2 different massage therapists. Everyone has been the best. If I could give 6 stars, I would.”
“The massage here is very good. It relieved my fatigue and discomfort. The environment is also very good. I look forward to seeing you next time.”
“I’ve had a great experience with Matrix Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy. Kara coordinated all of my appointments, answered billing questions and was a friendly face greeting me for each session. My Physical Therapist was Ron. I started 3 weeks after an L4/L5 in situ fusion. My strength, flexibility and endurance were at a low. Ron developed an effective in-clinic program, reinforced with a home exercise program. Unlike some other PT outfits I had previously used, Ron constantly fine tuned both the clinic sessions and HEP as I made progress. He ensured that I was challenged throughout.<br>Sometime after I began back rehab, I also started coming in for rehab for a partially torn rotator cuff. Ron developed another challenging program. As I end my rehab sessions, I am stronger, more flexible, pain free and able to resume my previous activities. I’ve met or exceeded my rehab goals. I would definitely recommend Matrix to anyone seeking rehab after surgery or an injury.”
“I’ve found my place!!! The best massage I’ve EVER had. Emily caters the massage for each body, unlike when you go to chains they all give you the same massage no matter what. She truly is the best. Professional, outgoing and I always leave feeling so much better than when I came in. A+++”
“Amazing place! The staff is incredibly enthusiastic and welcoming. The massage was very long, detailed, and professional. Truly a great massage experience and clean environment. Five stars all the way!”
“The best part after she finished my backside was when she finished my front side. It was an ending of happiness and relaxation. Mr. One eyed William was happy when I brought him back to his room. He already wants to get up and go again. 5 stars!”
“John is so nice and gives an excellent haircut. He does color great as well too, highly recommend!”
“I had a massage with Lisa today. She was fantastic. She knew exactly where all the tension was and how to work it out. She listened to what I said. I would definitely book another massage with her again.”
“My therapist for ten years now. Highly recommend! I have dealt with chronic pain and she has been amazing.”
“Kristen’s talent and services are truly life changing. I’ve been going to her for almost twenty years at this point and I can safely say no one in the region can hold a candle to her. She’s so knowledgeable and yet always furthering her practice by taking trainings and learning new things. She will find injuries and issues you didn’t know you had, and fix them. Shes pure magic in and out of her office.”
“Nicole does a fabulous job every time I go. An hour of pure relaxation! Would highly recommend to anyone! Can’t wait until my next appt (:”
“Robin has been my massage therapist for many years now. She provides a clean, relaxing and caring environment. I can’t say enough about how much she has helped me through the years.”
“I've been seeing Janice monthly for about a year now and am so grateful to have found her. As a fitness professional myself, I really appreciate her vast knowledge of bodies and what they need, as well as her incredible skill to deliver relief to her clients. She is very perseptive and listens to whatever you need to feel comfortable. I always walk out feeling 10x better. She has helped several of my clients as well. She is the best massage therapist I've ever had!”
