Sports massages are designed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover from a sports injury after a big event, or function well during training. You don't have to be in the Olympics to benefit from sports massages. Sports massages are also good for anyone who is active. Reach out to Back & Bodyworks for a FREE consultation!
Deep tissue massages target the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also known as the connective tissue. Deep tissue massages involve many of the movements and techniques of a Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage as our therapists work to release chronic muscle tension or knots. Call Back & Bodyworks today to schedule a deep tissue massage therapy session.

Always a great experience. I recommend getting deep tissue massages over every 2 months to work out all the stress.

My wife and I had a couples massage here today and very much enjoyed it. My wife had Cassandra and I had Jennifer. Both were very experienced, and gave us wonderful hour-long massages. The salon is very nice, comfortable, safe and clean (all of us were vaccinated). We will most definitely be going back!

Cassie just gave me the BEST massage I have ever gotten. I won't be going anywhere else for my massage needs. Definitely recommend her services.

5 STARS!!! Excellent massage services available here. I highly recommend this place. In fact, my doctor gave me their name and recommended them to me for back and shoulder pain. He recommended Back and Body Works because his head nurse had used them for years and reported good results. I have severe arthritis and fibromyalgia. I come at least once a month and it is helping me - as is the product she recommended.

Booked an appointment online and recieved a confirmation email. I arrived and called to check in and could not get anyone to answer the phone, even though I could see someone sitting at the front desk. A woman finally called me back, after I had called about six times. She immediately had an attitude with me and was extremely unpleasant. She said that she couldn't find my appointment and already had someone booked at that time.

There wasn't anything they could do. She asked if I wanted to rebook on another day and I said I would find somewhere else because I was already dealing with extreme pain. I called massage envy and they got me in within 30 minutes. The staff was amazing and everyone was super friendly! Had such a fantastic experience that I got a membership and will be returning monthly. Thank you Back and body works for treating me so poorly that I found somewhere so much better! I will never spend another dime with your company.

I have had a few massages from them when they we're on N. Oak right down the street. Since there move I still use them worth the drive. Voted best in the Northland. Amy gives a marvelous massage she is very good. If you need relaxing or relieve from sore muscles she is great. Give this business a try.

I have been doing monthly massage therapy since 2015. I use this as part of my wellness maintenance for good health. If you need a massage location, call Back and Body works. You will not be disappointed. You will find professional and knowledgeable therapists. They will work out any sore muscles or problem areas leaving you feeling a lot better.

I am so glad I received a gift certificate 2 Back & Body Works. Amy was amazing! I left feeling a million times better and have booked another appointment in 4 weeks. I can't wait to go back. If I could give 10 Stars I would. Very personable welcoming staff very accommodating and very affordable for massage. They listen to exactly what you are wanting and needing. There is no trying to sell you what you don't need and it's fantastic.

Rhonda is the best! I have tried other therapists and locations but always come back to Rhonda for deep tissue neck & shoulder pain.

There's nothing worse than a bad massage. You've taken your time and money and it's an utter waste. This was one of the worst massages I've ever had and I've been receiving massages for almost 20 years. First off, I had used their online scheduler to schedule a deep tissue massage. I understand that therapists are sometimes wary of using too much pressure on a new client.

I told the therapist before the massage began that I like deep pressure. A few minutes into very light massage, I requested deeper pressure. Still, no pressure! I spoke up once more but I'm not sure if this therapist wasn't well-trained or what. I booked and paid for deep tissue but that was certainly not what I received. I have since gone back to my favorite massage place which is a drive down South but there are two therapists there than can give a deep-tissue massage like nobody's business. So much for trying new place, this place has shown me what a waste a massage can be!

Hadn't had a massage in over two years. Made an appointment at the new location off I-29 and 64th with a massage therapist I had never been to, Grace. The space is beautiful and peaceful. Grace was wonderful! I had a 90 minute massage and even fell asleep during it. Thank you!

Not a fan. Nice little space just massage was not good. Needed deep tissue, and needed to hit targeted areas (upper back, lower back, hamstrings) that were in pain. No areas were addressed and I had an hour long shoulder massage so I got that goin for me

10 stars for back and body works! Thanks to Amy for going above and beyond to heal my sore back pains. She gave me the lux treatment. Hot towels, clean warm bedding, extra focus on the painful areas, quant relaxing room; while she is also very informative. Did I mention they also got me in last minute as walk in same day?! Loved and enjoyed every minute. Thanks Amy, I will tell everyone about this place :

Bath and Bodyworks will make you feel at home from you very first visit. They are very professional and respectful of your needs. They are very focused on what your specific needs are work to make sure that your needs are met. Anyone with low back issues as myself would definitely benefit from Sharon and her staffs care. You will be glad that you did!

I absolutely swear by Back and Bodyworks! I sit at a desk all day long and have very sore shoulders and back. My massage therapist (Sharon) targets the areas I ask her to work on and does an amazing job. They also offer Black Friday massage package gift certificates and the "Massage a Month" Club. I would highly recommend checking out Back and Bodyworks II.

A friend told me about Back Bodyworks a few years ago. I have had several massages from several different people. I would rate my therapist and experiences at Back and Bodyworks as one of the BEST I've had! New location is just as convenient and comfortable as original. That's why I'll keep coming for several more years!

I love love love Sarah! She does Chinese medicine and acupuncture and professional, intelligent, and is just an all around lovely person. She has helped me with issues ranging from headaches to anxiety to foot pain. If you've ever thought about acupuncture you must go to her!

I have had three massages here (not nearly enough!) and have been very happy with each experience. We gave our daughter a gift certificate and she described her experience as "heavenly". The therapists are very talented and professional. It is nice to leave without the knots and pinches that you did not even realize you had!

I went to get a massage after I sustained a work injury from lifting a patient. I have had two massages before this one for this injury and this was by far the best. I was lucky enough to get Rhonda as my therapist. She has a very soothing approach to massage and I went into the massage with my pain at a 6/10 and left pain free! The warm towels on my feet and back were very relaxing and she was very good at focusing the massage where I needed it most. Awesome therapist!

She also applied peppermint oil to my injured areas and I was quite amazed at how much this helped! I will admit, the walls are a little thin however I got so engrossed in the massage I barely noticed after the first 15 minutes! I will be back for Ms. Rhonda, I feel that she will play and integral role in my recovery process. Thank you Rhonda!

I went to Back and Bodyworks this past weekend and used a gift certificate I received. I enjoyed my massage with Rhonda but I didn't like the fact that the walls are so thin in the massage room that you could hear everything going on outside the room. They really need to have a "quiet zone" where the massage rooms are.and there's no reason why they can't. I'm one of those people that can't fully relax while getting a massage unless it's completely quiet.with the exception of the music in the room.

I went in there with the idea of signing up for regular massages if I liked the massage I received, but as noisy as it was I don't think I'll be back. So if you don't mind a little chatter and laughter going on outside your massage room then go see Rhonda because she gave a good massage.

I had been searching for a deep tissue massage therapist that was experienced in working on patients recovering from injury after I broke my left arm. I went to Back and Bodyworks and found the staff very open to listening to my concerns, as concerned as I am about my recovery, and that Sharon Schneider (the owner) is an incredible massage therapist. My arm feels the best it has felt since before the accident. Wonderful, considerate, caring and compassionate staff - highly recommended.
