I was able to get a same day appointment for a 75 minute massage with Glynn Blackburn! I walked in and the receptionist already knew who I was and was very polite. Glynn introduced himself and told me he had reviewed the answers to my intake questionnaire. He had already memorized what my problem areas were and had a game plan for my deep tissue massage. I was very impressed with his knowledge and I could tell me was dedicated to relieving my back pain.
The massage itself was amazing! Glynn made sure the pressure he applied was ok and told me what he was finding as he was massaging me. He could tell that I had been lifting weights recently and that I had been doing deep twists in yoga just by massaging my back! I'm so happy I found TheraKneads and Glynn. I would recommend him to anyone I know who wants a relaxing and healing massage with a massage therapist who is knowledgeable and truly cares

This place is wonderful! Easy to schedule. Prices are fair. The people are talented and kind. I have personally experienced: massage therapy, nervous system reset, and Vitality Aesthetics. The massage therapy is fantastic (I'm currently seeing Glynn.) Being disabled I'm a little tricky to work on, and he is simply marvelous! The nervous system reset is amazing! You wouldn't think the various sensations, sounds, vibrations, magnets, etc would do much of anything, but it's like you feel whole again afterwards. Words really don't give this treatment justice.
It's challenging to describe the feeling of peace you have afterwards. Honestly, I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. (Seriously, go get one!) The Vitality Aesthetics was a facial. Which was super easy to schedule. And the person who performed it was great!

Aysema did an outstanding job! Her Reiki is an absolutely must. Recently diagnosed with elevated CRP which is killing my connective tissues. Hour and 15 minutes went by quickly. Thanks again Aysema!
