Reviews of Bodywaves Therapeutic Massage

Emily Cardoza

I highly recommend this place. Super clean and relaxing atmosphere. Great location. The massage therapist, Jon, did a great job and was very professional. My only problem is they cut off the massage pretty abruptly at the end of time. It felt like being woken up in the middle of a nice nap (I wasn’t napping I promise lol). I’d rather have had them wrap up whatever part of the massage they were at and then call it time, even if that meant ending a few minutes early. I’ve seen people complain in other comments about ending early though, so I can see why it was like that.

Kristina Scaglione

It was very enjoyable massage and everybody was very nice and helpful. Place is clean and relaxing. The only thing I would have like to have known ahead of time is that it was a walk up with no elevator. But in any case it was a very enjoyable massage and I will be back

Logan Weatherford

A wonderful place, and results that leave you truly feeling better! I highly recommend Allison. She took the time to better understand my areas of need, and delivered a focused massage that addressed my ailments. I walked in with pain, and left feeling relief. I'm not from Boston, but I will always stop in when I am here! Don't think twice! Book an appointment.

AJ Meiram

A wonderful place to relax. If practicing self-care is your thing, schedule regular massages and join the Self-Care Challenge. Type ‘The 60-Day Self-Care Challenge: a Guided Journal for Women to Feel Energized, Refreshed and Light’ in Amazon’s search bar and order your copy of this beautiful accountability companion.

Robbie Ashton

Best massage I've ever had; Sophie was not only great with her hands, but would give feedback on the lifestyle habits that were causing my tension, and suggestions on ways to prevent future tightness. Didn't feel any kind of sales pitch, which was a huge relief coming from past experiences at chain locations

Katherine Thayer

Jon was very flexible and accommodating. It was a professional and relaxing environment and I felt comfortable with the COVID protocols. The entry survey was long but useful and I even got stretching tips for my problem areas after my massage

Daniel Curtis

Bodywaves has a pleasant studio space, and a prompt and helpful staff. This was my first visit and my therapist was excellent. He went straight to the problem areas and gave me a very well integrated massage. I needed the body work and benefited very much from it. I'll definitely come back.

Craig Carpenter

One of the best massages of my life.. seriously. I had Tabitha. She had reviewed my notes but also confirmed in room my areas of attention. Also provided her feedback and how she would work through. Then, honestly she provided one the best deep tissue massages I’ve ever had(Attention, pressure, workflow). Highly recommend. If you’re worried about the pandemic - don’t prevent it from getting some much needed work done here. She took great care with safety measures(temp, sanitizer, provided masks etc).

Steven Legare

Bodywaves is an oasis in the heart of Haymarket. Do not let the bustle of the market deter you; once you lie down in the bed you will be transported. I’ve had two massages here and both were absolutely fantastic. Reasonable COVID protocols are in place and I felt incredibly safe during my time in the building and while interacting with staff. Jesse was kind, attentive, and talented. I will certainly be back. Please support this small business and help ensure they stick around!

Shalin Patel

Best place in Boston to get a massage. Great, easy location to walk to (they also validate parking if you need). Friendly staff. Membership pricing is very fair. Nick is a great massage therapist. I always leave there feeling refreshed. Definitely recommend Bodywaves!

Niki Blaker

I always have a great experience at Bodywaves. The massage therapists have always listened and customized my massage accordingly. Plus all the COVID measures in place are great, I felt really comfortable and safe.

Jennifer Burton

My boyfriend and I had a couple's massage today, and it was absolutely lovely. The room was nice and quiet, and the lotion they used was very pleasant smelling. They took the time after to tell us where we had the most tension, and to recommend how to stay on top of it. They also brought us nice cool cups of water to wrap everything up. They were very skilled- both of us fell asleep a few times. We'll certianly be back next time we're in the city!

Jacqueline Schillinger

Jonathan and Brian are excellent massage therapists. My husband and I got a couples massage and they were fantastic. The atmosphere is very cozy and clean and the customer service is phenomenal. I highly recommend

Eduardo J López Morin (edulopez)

I had a EXCELLENT couple massage (covid age) with my wife . We will totally go back whenever we can, it was worth it. The give you 2 rooms with a space where you can see and talk to each other. It was pretty nice despite covid rules. The massage is an all body thing and they make you feel quite relax

David Martin

A peaceful oasis in the midst of Boston's bustling Haymarket district. Clean, quiet, well-run, and indeed therapeutic. Alison was very skillful and obviously experienced in her work. She was able to identify my areas of built up tension and work on them to great effect. She is also a very friendly person with many other interests, and we passed the time in pleasant conversation. Afterwards I felt relaxed and refreshed, and I noticed immediate improvement in my problem areas. For a wonderful massage experience I recommend Bodywaves to my family and friends as well as to the general public.

Dara Continenza

The location is great, and the office, on the third floor of a walk-up, is soothing and well-decorated without feeling "clinical" like some places. The treatment rooms are quiet and cool. I didn't hear much noise from outside at all, and this was during open hours at the market. I would say if you're quite concerned, try weekday hours, but I didn't notice more than the usual dull hum of living in a city. The massage itself was great. The therapist checked in multiple times about the amount of pressure and made me feel very comfortable. He listened to my litany of aches and pains and really did great work on my shoulders (woe betide the office worker). He also recommended some really helpful stretches I could do at home. Everyone I encountered was warm, welcoming, and professional, from the front desk to the massage therapist. Would absolutely recommend.

Carla Nelson

Frank was awesome and really understood my issues and addressed them all. I would highly recommend him for a massage and specifically for therapeutic massage.

Angela

I've been relying on Bodywaves to sooth my aching back for a year now. They do a great job and always look forward to my next appointment. When the back pain got so bad I couldn't lift my arm I started shopping around Boston for a great massage. After a long search I'm glad to have finally settled here. The establishment is always clean and has a relaxing atmosphere. The staff are friendly and accommodating and my massage therapist, Margot, is the best!

Cecelia Carsky-Bush

Can't wait to go back! I had been looking forward to getting a therapeutic/deep tissue massage for a long time. I felt like Lily really took her time with each spot. The time went by nice and slowly and my body felt great afterward.

Paul Matteis

Outstanding place to get a massage - I booked day of, with back pain, and was able to get a great massage that balanced physical therapy with relaxation. The facility is nice and clean, and the staff is extremely friendly. Great spot for anyone who has their office downtown to go before, during or after work.

Renata Mcfarland

I was referred by Davis Sq. Chiropractic. I found Bodywaves to be a very welcoming, clean and comfortable place. The staff gave an attentive ear to your body concerns and worked on easing my discomfort. I found Carlton to be an outstanding massage therapist. I found the location safe and easy to get to by MBTA. The office was refurbish with a very clean line and contained art work for sale in each one of the rooms. If you choose to go for a treat, weekly for stress, or monthly for rehabilitation, Bodywaves has reasonable offers for your needs. I especially liked the monthly deal I received. I had the option of carrying over a missed monthly massage to the next month. This place is worth a visit and earns its five gold stars with me!

Sebastian Ebarb

After my first two massages I ended up becoming a member. I will say if you tell them full pressure they will get the knots out. You might end up bruised, but they get you moving again. I am extremely happy with all therapists I have used!

Alexa Bleecker

Patrick is a miracle worker! Can't say enough good things about him. One of the best decisions I've made this year is becoming a member. The entire staff is extremely welcoming, friendly and professional. The studio is super clean and cozy. I wanted to make regular massage a part of my health and wellness routine, but finding the right place in Boston wasn't easy. Once I had my first massage with Patrick, I was hooked.

Cody Johnston

First time visiting for a 90 minute appointment. They were extensive in asking about my needs and addressed a variety of spots during a deep tissue session that could be the cause of my lower and upper back pain.

Elizabeth Forkel

I absolutely LOVE Bodywaves. It's a very relaxing environment, is generally quiet (except during Haymarket farmer's market hours!) and the therapists are AWESOME. We have tried 4 different therapists who were all great and very responsive to our needs and ares of most concern. My husband and I have a monthly pass so it allows us to go regularly for a relaxing massage. We have even enjoyed couple's massages together. The hours are also very convenient to accommodate a busy work schedule and the location is perfect--right across from Haymarket T stop.

Don Chanfrau

After experiencing continued range of motion issues after a hip replacement four years ago, I made an appointment with Lily. She did a great job listening to my concerns, making recommendations on diet supplements, and kneading the soreness and tightness out of me. Very friendly folks there, and I'll definitely be back to see Lily.

Olivia Spokoiny

Got a massage today from Nick and feel SO much better. Also had a great experience with Frank. I really like this place, the people, and the membership is a pretty good deal. Looking forward to going each month.

Sara Scott

Excellent massage practice. I have been going here once a month for years. Wonderful therapists, professional and comfortable. Due to the location, it can be a bit noisy, but that does not bother me. Highly recommended.

Robert Barrett

I had a perfect initial treatment today. I had deep muscle work done. I expressed my concerns and areas that needed most attention and the therapist utilized that information as well as his own professional assessment to treat me appropriately. I cannot wait to go back.

Elizabeth Carpenter

Bodywaves is a great. I've seen both Franklin and Caitlin and they are both fantastic. They are able to work all the kinks out leaving me feel amazing when leaving. Added bonus is they will validate parking for the nearby garage. Highly recommended!

Tracey Sturtevant

Would highly recommend! Bodywaves is a beautiful massage studio located in Haymarket Square- great location and easy to get to whether driving or using public transportation. If you do drive in, park in the Parcel 7 Garage on Sudbury street (next street over), they'll validate your parking at 1$/hr! The studio is absolutely gorgeous, with exposed brick and beautiful artwork throughout, it's very clean, welcoming and relaxing. The front desk staff was nice and offered me water while filling out my intake form. I have been battling some tendinitis in my shoulder, so I was looking for deep focus work- but not too much as to make it sore or painful the next day. My massage therapist listened and addressed my needs exactly as I was hoping, she checked in a couple of times around stated injury to make sure her techniques felt effective and also worked deep enough to release knots & tension in others areas.When my session ended I felt relaxed, NOT overly greasy ( which is hard to come by) and my shoulder had more mobility with a lot less pain! I didn't hear anything from the busy city below and I was there on a Monday between 3-5. Overall a great experience, bodywork like this is whats going to help keep my shoulder healthy & less prone to further injury. I'll definitely be coming back!

Carly Hanna

Highly recommend to anyone with wear and tear on their muscles from travel and exercise and just every day stressors. I love the monthly membership not only because it holds me accountable to a regular reset but also because it works. The location is so easy to access, steps away from the Haymarket T stop. I can’t rave about this place enough to my colleagues, friends and workout buddies.

Shari Milkowski

I absolutely love Bodywaves Therapeutics. Not only are the staff amazing, but the space is beautiful and relaxing. I usually see Margo who has helped me with muscle strain and tension issues. Not only through massage, but gave me information on what to do for myself to help. When I can't see Margo the other staff has always been wonderful. They are very knowledgeable, professional and friendly.

Michael Gaudreau

Came here for a 90 minute massage on a whim after work. Lori was amazing! She was very attentive and asked for problem areas that she was sure to prioritize. Great experience, will be back.

Michelle Mitchell

Bodywaves is my haven! Admittedly, when they first opened, the service was a bit inconsistent where I received both wonderful massages and average massages, as well as one that was just awful. But, any new business has growing pains, and have they outgrown those! Derrick at the front desk is so warm and welcoming every time I call or go in for a massage. And, Adam and Patrick have different methods but are both wonderfully therapeutic in their own right. They listen to what's ailing or needed and respond accordingly in the most wonderful ways. I have and will continue to recommend, buy giftcards from, and spread the word about Bodywaves. They are my respite!!

Daniel Zayets-Volshin

When it comes to massages, I go to say that this is the best massage in boston. After checking out different massage places I keep coming back to Body Waves over and over as their prices, overall experience and the convenience of their location all work together exceptionally well. In addition to a great service, they have a parking validation - good luck finding such a great deal anywhere in Quincy Market area. The masseuse that I usually use, Daniell is great and truly cares about her work. I highly recommend her and this place in general for anyone looking to escape the daily routine and work stress, as this oasis will replenish you with energy and will allow you to get back to life 10 years younger! - That's how I feel today.

Jacob Wolk

Easily the most relaxing massage experience I've ever had. Came in for a couple's massage with my girlfriend, who had an equally relaxing experience. Even bought her a three month membership for our anniversary, which she loved. Best massage in Boston.

Robin Pulverenti

My first visit was on a Groupon, and now I am a monthly member. And each time a friend comes to town, I set them up with an appointment also. The space is relaxing, the massages are great, and the prices are very reasonable (especially for the first time discounts). Plus, they will validate parking - $3 for 2 hours in the Government Center garage to accommodate your appointment.

David Bushery

I have been to Bodywaves 10+ times over the last 2 years and highly recommend them. Their staff is always professional & courteous, and massage therapists take time to get to know why you are there before providing the massage service.

John Doucet

Just had a great 90 minute massage at Bodywaves. It was one of the best massages I have ever had. Relaxing, but also therapeutic, as I had some muscle tension due to exercise and travel. I highly recommend them.

Busto Robusto

This place is absolutely awesome! Caitlyn and eve were great, and it was no lie the best massage I've ever had. Very friendly staff and the location is great too. There is even a parking garage across the street if you don't like parking in the north end area. I can't wait to go back. This place is the best!

Brooke Baker

We came for a couples massage. Brian was exceptional. He tailored the service to what I needed and gave me recommendations afterwards! Would recommend him to anyone.

I had heard once from a yoga teacher that "Massage is the lazy man's yoga." I had to stop doing yoga because it was killing my knees - so once a month I went to BodyWaves. I've had a few of the massage therapists at BodyWaves and they were all excellent. All of them. Natalie stands out. I don't know where she gets her strength. Her massages were truly therapeutic. She knows her anatomy. The massage rooms are very clean and smell so nice. I always looked forward to going to BodyWaves. That it was next to the Boston Food Market and the North End often made it an outing. I would highly recommend BodyWaves.

Elizabeth Calieri

If you saw my review on YELP, you know what to do. Make an appointment asap- after a massage with Franklin, it will change the way you approach your entire week.To summarize my YELP review: the combination of techniques (deep tissue/ orthopedic/pressure release, etc.) used by the therapists at Bodywaves will not only provide you with lasting improvements in your posture/sore muscles/stress level, you will also take notice much more quickly when your posture/tight muscles/stress are influencing the way you carry yourself. This learned recognition helps to prevent the old habits from settling back in. Thank you, Bodywaves, for guiding my muscles, ligaments and tendons back where they need to be, keeping me healthy, happy and less physically responsive to stress!

George K

Great location, friendly staff, soothing environment, comfortable rooms/equipment. Very professional massage therapists, reasonable prices, and their monthly membership program can't be beat! Highly recommended!

Mark Barkhouse

Great first experience. The only massage place that could see us same day, and both our masseuses paid great attention to us and also gave us self care advice.

May Au

I have been a member for over a year and I love coming to Bodywaves. The staff there are friendly and welcoming. I go to see Franklin and he is amazing. I also love the location because it is accessible via the T. Can't get enough of this place!

Eric Frandsen

It was a great experience here. We were treated really well and had a wonderful relaxing couples massage. We would definitely go back.

Barrett

I arrived feeling tight, sore, and beat up. After 60 minutes, I left very happy feeling loose and free for the first time in years. Fantastic experience, I highly recommend.

Beth Chaplin

Pretty good experiences here, though the therapists are all very individualized in their approaches. I find the location very convenient, because it is at the intersection of the Orange and Green lines.

Kate Jones

Caitlin is amazing. She is so knowledgeable about the body and she's got an amazing way with people. I'm definitely coming back. My body feels incredible!

Jen Pots

Great place; professional, relaxing, efficient. Margo is a very good masseuse; she listens to whats going on in my body and tailors the massage accordingly.

Monica Caan

Amazing experience! Beautiful and relaxing space, Frank got out all the knots, and Anna at the front desk was very kind and helpful!

Brian Marsden

Great people, great therapists. They are very responsive and always ask how you feel after the appointment! Highly recommend.

Rebecca Rogers

Bodywaves is convenient, affordable and the best place to get a massage in North Boston. Would definitely recommend!

Kelly Seibler

Massage was great, you have to wear a mask when face up, and face down you will breathe into a pillow case.

Franklin is an awesome massage therapist! Extremely knowledgeable and effective.
