Reviews of Level Up Massage

Christopher Uy

Skilled. Professional. Courteous. Tayler worked magic on my shoulders today. I’m an acrobat that does handbalancing and partner acrobatics. My day job requires a lot of writing and computer work. Between the two, my shoulders are always tight. When I practice handstands, I’m often limited by pinching in the rotator cuff and poor alignment. Tayler was able to loosen up my chronically tight rotator cuffs, traps and pecs in under 30 minutes (total). Such an incredible session. Before and after photos of the left shoulder are attached.

Taylor is extremely dedicated to his profession. He provides targeted massages, he KNOWS exactly WHAT HE IS DOING. He spent time with me to talk about any trauma and injuries in my past. He uses massage and neurology therapy to correct any dysfunctions. His knowledge floored me, and he was very willing to share with me anything I was curious about. What sets him apart from other massage therapists is how he personalizes the session to target exactly what’s wrong. We also did some cupping which helped to release fascia in my body and I felt my energy circulating for the rest of the day afterward.

The most wholehearted 5 stars I could possibly give. I have seen Tayler twice now and have found profound relief from neck pain, headaches and neck mobility issues that I have had my entire adult life. I am 37 years old and fortunate to be in good shape and health and yet was plagued by chronic discomfort and pain that made me feel much older than I am. I had never heard of P-DTR before meeting Tayler but was game for anything that could help my pain. Tayler is informative and caring. He communicates clearly what his process is and why he's doing it. I have learned so much about my own body and brain in only these two sessions. His massage work is just as amazing as his functional neurology work. He utilized cupping and massage to work on the scar tissue and adhesion's that have been limiting my range of motion and I have felt lasting relief for the first time. Bottom line, Tayler is a rare find. He's professional and compassionate and has a healing energy. Genuinely so thankful to have found him!

Cannot say enough amazing things about Level Up! I went to Tayler for a massage to relieve some bad neck muscle tension, having never even heard of P-DTR before. I left a firm believer and keep going back for more. Not only did I receive an OUTSTANDING massage (including cupping which I'd never done before but now can't get enough of), but it's no exaggeration to say that after maybe 15 minutes of P-DTR (or "functional neurology" as Tayler describes it) I was able to turn my head without ANY pain for the first time in several months. Aside from how unbelievable that was for me, going to see Tayler is such an enjoyable experience in itself. He's professional, kind, and really attentive to every detail. He genuinely wants to help people live pain-free and it's evident in his dedication to this work. He's incredibly knowledgeable, and is really passionate about explaining the science behind everything. I'm SO grateful I happened to stumble into his path, because I can confidently say no matter the injury (acute, chronic) or dysfunction, Tayler will be able to eliminate it.

Taylor has helped me improve my back pain with the P-DTR methods he used to identify key issues and resolve them. I have been working him for 10 months and 8 session and in that time my back pain has gone from a 7-8 daily down to less then a 2!! My chronic pain is gone and I attribute that to my combination neurology treatments along with the massages. I highly recommend Taylor for anyone who wants to not only get rid of chronic back pain but also to improve mobility, stress relief and elevate your overall well being.

Wayne Hoskins

When I went to Tayler for my first three sessions I went in with chronic pain from the past 7 years. I had some very angry adhesions around my glutes, calves, and IT band from years of sprinting and jumping in elite level volleyball and basketball. I suffered an Achilles tendon rupture and still have some scar tissue around the site as well. I have purchased various percussion and recovery tools and have seen an innumerable amount of massage therapists and physical therapists and they were unable to to provide me with the precise treatment work that I needed. I am an educator who has not been able to engage in the Weekly Warrior games and activities that bring me such joy and peace for years. Not only is he a phenomenal therapist, but he’s a pretty cool, laid back yet firm dude. Tayler listened to my needs and used multiple methods throughout his session, ranging from: functional neurology work to help resolve longterm physical and emotional trauma/damage, cupping along my back and thighs, to gua sha which really helped get into my scar tissue. The massage tied in with the proprioceptive work really helped release and relieve years of pain, and I was able to go home, reflect, rest, and receive another treatment later that week. Once again, the combination of methods and Tayler talking me through everything really helped me feel confident about my recovery. I was able to move laterally, sprint, jumprope, and perform stats and lunges without any pain. My muscles were fatigued from not being activated in such a long time, but there was no pain. I was able to play some pickup basketball for 2 hours and was amazed at how well my body was responding to my movements. I rested for a couple of days and played again for about 90 minutes and I am still feeling strong and healthy. After a few more treatment sessions and hoop sessions, I believe I will be moving without hesitation on and off the court. Just these results alone have increased my confidence and has improved my overall morale because it has been such a long time since I have not been in pain. It’s still strange to me, I can’t really explain it. For years I felt aches and pains in each step throughout the day and it was always in the forefront of my mind during explosive plyometrics workouts. I will continue to see Tayler and tell anyone about him who cares to listen. If you are looking for 5* quality treatment, please give him a call or send him a message.

Grace Lee

Absolutely fantastic experience! Tayler incorporated a delightful variety of techniques into the session including P-DTR, guasha, and cupping. He was very thorough in his intake and ensured I was comfortable throughout the session. My only negative is that I didn't book a longer session 😂 Will be back! …

Kaysie Rozsonits

Tayler is absolutely wonderful. He is the first massage therapist I have had that seems to genuinely want to help my issues improve. He really gets in there and works the problem areas. I really like that he has all sorts of tools and techniques that he tries depending on how your body is feeling. He begun at our office as our monthly wellness opportunity, but has expanded his hours and now offers full hour-long sessions for us. We just love him!

Laina McNichols

I had a tiny test session with Tayler for my shoulder that resulted in more complete, comfortable use of my whole right arm. I struggled with some parts frozen and some parts overworking and some parts not doing much of anything. He used proprioceptive deep tendon reflex and that tiny session was so helpful, I booked a full session for my back. I had burning, tingling, numbness, cramping from my low back all the way down my right leg since April. Driving was excruciating. Hiking was limited to short nearly flat walks. My caving and canyoning were almost impossible. The pain and cramping were so debilitating, I wondered if I was going to have to radically change my lifestyle permanently. Tayler used a combination of techniques including proprioceptive deep tendon reflex and functional neurological work. His willingness to talk about and experiment with what might help me was awesome and encouraging. The end result of that one full session was complete reversal of the burning, tingling, cramping pain! I was able to drive without discomfort. I hiked between 8 and 9 miles the Saturday following my appointment with Tayler, and 3 miles Sunday and still drive home! I am able to work all day without pain, and I am no longer squirming in my chair trying to find a comfortable position. My most surprising result of the functional neurological work Tayler did was my stomach and digestive system issues have improved dramatically. I was in a car crash years ago, and ever since, these have been very complicated and dysfunctional. Thank you, Tayler, for giving my life back to me!!

Five stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. I’ve been seeing Tayler for three months, and he’s done more for me in those sessions than any sports medicine doctor, PT or other specialist has done in YEARS. I’ve dealt with chronic hip issues for five years, and have been an athlete my whole life and sustained many injuries or “traumas” as Tayler calls them. I originally scheduled an appointment for deep tissue massage completely oblivious to his other offerings. I ended up leaving that first appointment also getting gua sha, cupping and (the most life changing) P-DTR! Tayler uncovered and corrected countless neurologically-tied traumas I’ve just lived with for years thinking they were permanent. While some dysfunctions took two sessions to fix, others I have sustained and never had to deal with again after ONE session. The amount of pain relief I’ve had is truly unbelievable. Each session is tailored how I want it, sometimes I want more P-DTR work and other times I want more deep tissue work. He ALWAYS checks in that I’m consenting (I have never felt more comfortable as a woman with a male therapist) and answers every one of my many questions about his work with enthusiasm. He checks in after every session to see how my recovery is and if I notice any differences. I’m so much more aware of and in tune with my body now. There is no doubt Tayler loves what he’s doing and wants to help as many people as he can with it. Book a session, you will NOT regret it.

I recently had a massage session with Tayler where he was using proprioceptive deep tendon techniques on me. To a person without much anatomical knowledge, these words may not mean a lot. What is helpful to know is that the work was simple and comfortable, and didn't require me to disrobe at all. It was painless, and most importantly it is incredibly effective. I have had three separate instances of neck trauma which have caused me years of chronic issues, including persistent headaches. At the time that I saw Tayler I had been on the 4th day of consecutive headaches which were causing me a lot of discomfort. It has been more than a week since the session, and I have not had a single headache. I have also noticed that I haven't had any trouble with my shoulders, which were also a chronic issue for me. Furthermore, my legs and core feel more stable, and I have not had any pain or issues in using my hands, arms and shoulders.I would absolutely recommend this work, especially for people who may not be comfortable disrobing and lying on a table for more traditional methods of body work. I'm looking forward to working with Tayler again.

Thayer Qasem

Tayler is Outstanding! The massage I received was the most effective i’ve ever had. Couldn’t be happier with the result. He suggest cupping with my massage and really dug into the problem areas and now I have much better mobility in my shoulders. He really knows his profession. I am looking forward to coming back here again. :)

Teri Dormer

My Dad is a chiropractor, so I've grown up appreciating the benefits of physical wellness. I've been seeing Tayler for a few weeks, and he continues to surprise me with how thoughtful he is about the concerns or pain I come in with and his recommendations for things I can be doing between appointments. Tayler understands the body, and he's a real pleasure to work with. Not to mention that he's extremely easy to book with! Highly recommended.

Rochelle Clark

I've been a massage therapist for 21 years, and wish I would have found Tayler sooner! I love his style of deep tissue combined with massage cupping. His work is focused, professional and highly effective. He gets a lot of release work done in a short amount of time. My body feels more open, pain-free and rejuvenated every time I see him. In fact, I'm going back tomorrow for a 2-hour massage, and I can't wait!

Steven Taylor

Look no further. I don’t usually leave reviews but Tayler is the man. It’s fortunate to meet someone that will caters their practice to your needs, and he does it in spades while educating you on why. Highly, highly recommend. I’m a former athlete that has trouble with back, shoulder, and hip problems. Even after my first session I feel fantastic. It’s close in Queen Anne and impossible to beat in terms of quality. Be upfront about your needs and body, he’ll tailor it just for you.

Jennifer Brown

I have had three sessions with Tayler and each one has incorporated a variety of modalities - cupping, fascia scraping / gua sha, CBD oil, deep tissue massage, and heat application. Tayler listens intently to what you're seeking and asks a lot of questions to understand issues, pain, lack of mobility, etc. He also takes the time to confirm what I've said and explain what he thinks is going on and how he wants to treat the particular problem. Tayler continues to gain new skills and further his toolkit which demonstrates his commitment and professionalism. I feel like my sessions are completely tailored to me and that I have a partner in my health care with Tayler. If you're ready to WORK on your body I would highly recommend Tayler.

Ellen Underwood

Tayler is the best MT I have ever seen. I am so impressed with his knowledge of the mechanics of the human body. I started seeing him three weeks ago for low back issues that have been causing chronic pain. My mobility has already greatly improved, and I’ve been able to ramp up my training pain free. Tayler is also a sincere person who really shares in the successes of his clients. I am excited for the progress I’ve made and am grateful to Tayler to help me do more of what I love without pain/injury. Highly recommend!

Kassandra Anderson

Had my first massage with Taylor today, and I’m beyond impressed. He went above and beyond my expectations, as a massage therapist myself I’m picky with my sessions. He treated the areas I asked for, educated me on his cups and massage tools and walked me through some great range of motion exercises. I got the relief of a deep tissue massage without the soreness that comes with it, that instantly removed the tension. Can’t wait to see where else this man goes in his career!

Lucy Baraquio

I've been dealing with some intense shoulder issues, and Tayler's massages have been such a huge help. He has great healing energy, and is very enthusiastic about his work. The cupping and gua sha techniques and tools that he uses in a very customized way for me seem to be accelerating my healing. After a 90-minute massage with Tayler, I'm always very relaxed and hopeful that my body is on its way to full recovery. I would highly recommend Level Up Massage!

Melanie Masuda

So happy to have found Tayler! I appreciate deep work in a massage and usually have something significant to deal with. The communication beforehand and during a massage is so helpful and on point, with great execution. Tayler usually finds something I wasn't aware of (but can definitely feel needs attention!) while working on me. I'm also a big fan of the fact that he uses both cupping and manual work to get after as much as possible during a session. I'm sure he can provide more relaxing sessions too - but that's not what I'm after! If you're looking for a great deep tissue massage where you will feel significant work during and after, I highly recommend!

Becky Beers

Tayler is fantastic - he takes his massage practice very seriously & is extremely professional. He incorporates cupping into his massage in order to warm-up muscles and get the maximum benefit from the bodywork. He also solicits feedback/ goals and customizes each session to the clients’ unique needs. I was referred to Tayler by loyal clients of his and now I know why- he is the best of the best!

Jessee Mellinger

I cannot say enough good things about Tayler! He is very kind, professional, personable, knowledgeable, and passionate about helping his clients achieve results. His facility is always clean, tidy, and welcoming. I always leave feeling so relaxed and free from tension. I work at a desk, and carry the majority of my tension in my neck and shoulders. In an effort to seek relief from chronic migraines that I was experiencing, I started seeing Tayler in 2018. After receiving a handful of regular monthly deep tissue massages, the frequency of my migraines decreased significantly, and my range of motion throughout my body increased. I have tried other massage therapists, but they come nowhere close to achieving the results I get from Tayler. One of the main reasons why I choose to continue to see Tayler is that he is constantly looking to improve his skills and apply new, effective techniques to his practice. Since I began seeing him in 2018, Tayler has incorporated gua sha and cupping into his practice, both of which yield great results. One day, he asked if I experience tightness in my jaw muscles (which I do), and offered intraoral massage (something he had just learned) as a solution. While it may sound like a strange experience to those who are not familiar, the results I get from intraoral massage are immediate and have brought so much relief into my life, that we now try to incorporate it into each session. These days, I experience migraines so rarely, which I truly attribute to my regular sessions with Level Up Massage. Tayler has also kindly provided me with tools that I can use at home - recommended stretches, cupping, and CBD tinctures - which have prolonged the results I receive through massage. I am grateful that he has a variety of CBD products to choose from, as they have proven to be very effective for reducing tension and relaxing my muscles between sessions. All in all, I cannot recommend Level Up Massage enough! Whether you are looking for relief from tension and pain, or are simply looking for a relaxing massage, I encourage you to book an appointment through Level Up Massage.

I work a desk job, and I've suffered the gamut of related chronic pain over the past 2+ years: neck, back, shoulder, forearm, wrist, etc. I've seen over 7 different massage therapists in that time, and what I appreciate most about my time with Tayler is that it feels like he's really invested in your progress. The beginning of each session is a back and forth conversation, and you can tell he's thinking through and then testing theories as he works, personalizing a treatment to your symptoms and priorities. It feels like you're on this journey to understand your body and its dysfunctions together. I initially came in for my jaw pain because another massage therapist recommended I try intra-oral massage. It's not a comfortable experience, but the results are well worth it; I could notice a dramatic difference after just a couple of minutes (you think one side of your jaw is tight, and then it releases so much that you start feeling like it's actually the other side of your jaw that's tight - and then he fixes that side, too!). On top of that, he was able to address some of my arm/shoulder issues in that same first session, restoring shoulder range of motion I hadn't had for years and had just accepted as "I guess this is how it is now". I'm excited to keep working with Tayler to see what other improvements we can make!

Jayme White

I recommend Tayler and his business Level Up Massage 100%!!! I can attest that each session is a truly one-of-a-kind massage that was made especially for me at that time. I've been seeing Tayler for over a year and with each session I feel it's a totally different session to achieve the goal. For example, I came to him over 6 months ago with a goal in mind of deep-tissue work on my hip that felt "stuck" for months causing me pain and discomfort when trying to work, as I am also a massage therapist, it was really hindering my body mechanics. He was not only able to work very deeply on my hip and release my glutes and deep lateral rotators.. but he also released my It-bands and I literally walked out of that session completely pain free and haven't felt discomfort in that hip since! I always say he "healed" my hip! For my second example, I came to him recently and I just wanted to relax and destress while also loosing all my tight muscles. Tayler was able to accomplish that goal wholeheartedly. He incorporated aromatherapy and cupping in a relaxation session that seriously was one of the most enjoyable and effective massages I've ever gotten! He's versatile, attentive and intuitive. I recommend him and I really hope you make an appointment with him as soon as possible because it will be an amazing massage, made just for you to reach your highest goals. Thanks again Taylor at Level Up Massage!

Karli Broglio

I have been going to Tayler for a couple of years now for massage therapy. With his talent and passion for finding new techniques and creative solutions, and his great advice for how to improve self care in between visits, I have a body that moves and functions better now than it has in a long, long time. He is constantly improving and growing his tool kit to include a wide variety of techniques, and probably my favorite thing is that he talks with me about what's going on and what's working and how things feel, and then uses the things he believes will work best that day to address my body's needs. I don't have to guess which is best myself, and I don't have to pay for an add on like I have seen in so many places before. He brings all of his skills and tools into every massage and uses my input and his own expertise to deliver the best massage for me each time, and the results I feel weeks after speak volumes. Also, while amazing massages are amazing, they're not the only important part of a good massage therapist. Tayler is also very professional and very comfortable to work with, I have never felt uncomfortable on his table for an instant. I hesitate to describe him as "the best massage therapist in the whole darn world" only because I think you won't believe it if I say that. Seriously though, I've seen had a lot of massages by really a lot of people, and none have been as well-tailored to my needs, as effective, or had results as long-lasting as the results I get working with Tayler. tl;dr? 11/10 would recommend :)

marisa

I have had three sessions with Tayler so far, and saw remarkable improvements after just the first one! I went for general aches and pains mostly in my shoulders, upper back and neck from sitting at a desk all day. These have been reduced by about 80%. He also incidentally resolved this random piercing pain I was getting behind my right eye after each workday. My muscle pain is at an all time low and I always look forward to my next appointment. I highly recommend his practice and appreciate the cleanliness and friendly attitude as well!

Insentient Table

I’ve been seeing Tayler for several months now for deep tissue massage and cupping. Due to my occupation as a dental hygienist, I have chronic muscle and joint pain and inflammation. Tayler has a soothing yet interactive technique to relieve my sore muscles and let it relax. He has a flexible schedule, extremely personable and very professional. Highly recommend!!!

Kelly Plescow Moore

I've been getting professional massages for the past 6 years and I am truly impressed with Tayler. Definitely the best massage I've had. He was professional, listened and read my body well, and addressed every problem area I had. I felt like a new person after! I'll definitely be a regular of Tayler's from now on.

Rachel Yamagiwa

I've been seeing Tayler for several months now and he has a great feel for the body. I am really impressed with the care and knowledge he brings to his treatments. He goes deep into the tissue and releases pain and tension at many levels with his cupping and deep massage.

John Huddlestun

I have had a few sessions with Tayler from Level Up. I've settled on 90 minutes as a good amount of time to have some significant body and nerve (neurological) work done, and a little time for some relaxation massage, as well. Tayler is extremely communicative during each session and works to make sure my health, fitness, and mobility goals are being attained immediately and considering the long term. Also, I had cupping done for the first time with Tayler and found cupping a more lasting solution to some of the tension I carry in my back and shoulders! *Edited to correct the spelling of Tayler's name.

Angela Leigh

My sessions with Tayler were truly body changing. He was respectful, intuitive and kind. I trusted him to discover the necessary spaces that needed more attention in concert with him addressing my pain areas. I’m in the fitness and wellness space and never have I experienced the genuine pain relief as I have in the sessions with Tayler. Sadly, I am in Los Angeles for the time being but whenever I visit Seattle I will book one, two or more sessions with him!

Danny Schlitt

Tayler fixed up my tight shoulders and glutes and gave me the self care practices to maintain the improvements he made to my body. This was my first massage focused on muscular health, instead of relaxation, and I'm really pleased with the results. He's professional and a good communicator, explaining the benefits of the work he's doing as he goes. Oh yeah, also don't skip on the cupping, it feels amazing and you get some cool temporary tattoos to impress and surprise your friends with :)

Lekrisha Lee

Tayler is sincere, knowledgeable, patient & fun. He knows exactly how to fix what hurts & he isn't afraid to try new methods to aid in self care. I frequently recommend him to all my friends & I'm now making this recommendation to you. If you need a massage therapist see him NOW.

Anthony Mclaughlin

So first off, Taylor is awesome! He's very friendly and professional during our sessions. He communicates with you to find out what exactly it is that you want in a session, answering any questions you may have along the way. He's also extremely dedicated to improving his craft. I've had 2 treatments with him so far which included intraoral massage, cupping, deep tissue and gua sha. I've seen cupping on TV and always wanted to try it and I was not disappointed! I also have a lot of upper body tension, including issues with clenching that cause me to have tension headaches. The first round of intraoral massage we did was pretty intense, but I could feel a huge difference. We did some extensive work on my back and shoulders as well which was amazing. After our first session I felt much lighter and found it easier to stand up straight since I sit at a desk most of the day and find myself hunched over at times, adding to my tension. Overall I would highly recommend Taylor. I purchased a 5 pack of sessions as we have some problem areas to work on but it is worth every penny. Update: I finished my 5 sessions and feel fantastic. I plan to continue seeing Tayler since I can feel the benefit of routinely getting kinks worked out that build up over time or especially after a weekend hiking!

Kirsten Curry

I regularly receive massage as a part of my health regimen. My regular therapist recently moved and I found myself in the need of a new therapist, during Covid times. I found Tayler via the web and noticed and was impressed by what others had to say, by way of reviews, about his work. I've been seeing Tayler ever since! Tayler has a fantastic approach to bodywork. His goal oriented treatment massages are perfect for targeted work or fully body with emphasis. He listens to my needs and creates the session around our discussion. I've been having some body aches and muscle pains as I get back into strength training and he's been attentive to structuring each session to help me keep my body in good functioning condition. The cupping and gua sha are the best and make sure we get in there and have long lasting results. I highly recommend Tayler for your massage and bodywork needs!

Sara Jacobsen

Taylor is very professional and really wants to help you with whatever issue/pain/discomfort you are having. I've seen him for a few months now and am happy every time. His approach is wholistic in the sense that he wants to know your goals, things you do to help with your pain outside of massage, etc. It isn't a cookie cutter experience. Last time I tried the intraoral massage for the first time and it was really impressive how relaxed my whole jaw/neck area felt afterward. Definitely a different feeling than your normal massage, but worth it if you're having jaw issues!

Mackenzie Barrow

Tayler is absolutely incredible! I recently had a massage with him that incorporated cupping and aromatherapy. During the massage it was a bit intense, but immediately after my entire body felt so relaxed and worked over that I was massage drunk. I couldn't stand up straight without falling over! He worked my back, shoulders, neck, and pecs. He finished off with an incredibly soothing and hypnotizing scalp and face massage that had me in absolute bliss. For an hour of my time I received an incredible amount of work. Well worth the time and money spent! I have been seeing Tayler for a year and his ability to grow, learn, and adapt his massage and modalities he offers is unmatched. He is always learning new techniques and improving his massage more than I even thought possible. He is knowledgeable, respectful, and caring. I feel absolutely comfortable around him. I absolutely recommend that anyone who feels pain go see him!

Garrett Moore

Tayler provided an even better customer experience than I could have hoped for! I went in with a stubborn muscular back injury, hoping that Tayler could help relax it. The massage he gave was intense in a great way, not only relaxing the injury but also releasing some of the surrounding muscles that were making the injury so stubborn and difficult to heal. Four days out from the massage, my overall soreness is down drastically, range and ease of motion is up, and and I am on my way to recovery!

Cynthia Hancevic

That was the best message ever. Tayler really knows what he's doing. I was so impressed with how Tayler incorporates several tools to help release my extremely tight and painful shoulder. One session gave me so much relief and more mobility. I am convinced that his technique is the therapy that I need and will be making regular visits.

Mercedes Carrabba

I met Taylor at the Farmers Market in Ballard when he was set up for chair massage outside Kula Movement. That quick massage has led to my becoming a regular client. He is great. I have a collapsed vertebrae and there are days I have to be very gentle with myself, everything feels stiff. All of the surrounding supporting muscles work hard to keep me moving and that is exactly where Tayler comes in to help. He works to release all that tension and helps me loosen up. Then I can get back to work and more importantly he helps release all that pain and tension. Living with a back injury is a constant process. Tayler is an important part of that process.

Christopher Castro (Tobat)

I would definitely recommend Tayler and Level Up Massage to anyone looking for a talented massage therapist. My body craves deep pressure, but will become extremely guarded if not done correctly. So I tend to be a bit picky about who I let work on me. A good friend referred me to Tayler and I am happy that they did. You can tell that Tayler has an affinity for bodywork. He does a skillful job of reading your body, and smoothly transitioning between pressure to provide a very effective treatment. He also understands the importance of breathwork and movement, and does a great job of integrating them into his practice.

Dhitivorada Rangubtuk

Wow! This was best massage I have had since Thailand 🙏🏽 Tayler’s techniques are so unique and powerful. He provides Sport massage style with cupping and all variety of deep work tools. I received cupping therapy with deep tissue massage, all my tightness in my back and shoulder decreased significantly after one session. I also got facial cupping massage, it made my face feel relax and amazing! I highly recommend him to anyone who like to fix their body tightness problem! His massage is a life changing!!!

Angela Phoenix

I cannot speak highly enough of Tayler's work. My husband and I have been seeing him for years. He is an immaculate professional. As a former massage therapist myself, I can say he is exceptionally well-trained and takes care to provide the results and pain relief that keeps me fuctioning. If you are looking for effective therapy, give him a shout - you won't be disappointed.

Jessica Morgan

Taylor is amazing and listened to all of my back pain history before our first session. He made my massage unique for my needs and it was 10 times better than I even expected! Now that I am fully healed from back surgery, he has been great at breaking down scar tissue and allowing my body to move easier with less pain! He has a great sense of humor which immediately made me feel more comfortable and I have been returning for his services for the past 6 months. I even got my husband to try him out and he loved the results of increased movement and less stiffness. Self care is so important, especially in these tough times and I highly recommend him. After your first appointment you will be hooked!

Lindsey Tripp

I am very pleased with my experience at Level Up Massage! I was referred to Tayler by my dentist for the treatment of TMJ disorder. I had been having tension headaches and pain while chewing, and I couldn’t believe how much relief I got after only one session! I had never had intraoral work done. Tayler did a great job explaining what to expect in our session. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and clearly skilled in a variety of treatments in massage. In addition to my jaw, Tayler worked wonders with my neck and upper back through fascial cupping, Gua Sha and hands on work. He really listened to what I was looking for and designed a treatment plan that was specific to my needs. I would recommend Level Up to anyone looking for a great massage!

Scott Butler

Taylor is probably the best massage therapist I ever gone to. I'm in my 40's, athletic and tall so... I've experienced some back issues. After some lower back issues, I was recommended to Taylor by a very close friend and I've been thinking him every since.

Tayler is amazing!!! He really knows his stuff. He is superbly talented and has an incredible amount of expertise. Tayler is adept at locating exactly what needs work, maintaining open communication, and dialing in the perfect treatment for long term results. He's made significant improvements on some old injuries that left me with reduced range of motion. Tayler is successfully opening those areas up and I now have greater flexibility and stability in just 2 sessions.

Tayler is a fantastic massage therapist it’s that simple! He has been a great resource to alleviate my chronic pain. On top of the incredible work he’s done on my body, I really appreciate the precautions he has taken to safely practice during Covid.

Jonathon Phillips

I found out about Tayler through my girlfriend earlier in 2019 and she was really pushing me to go see him. A few months later, I finally went and was amazed at how my body felt afterwards. Tayler always finds knots I had no knowledge of. Now, I try to go every 4-6 weeks. I appreciate that he is always looking to improve his craft as well as always wanting to try something new. I highly recommend him, you won’t be disappointed!

Ames McArdle

Tayler is excellent at his work. He does both relaxing work as well as pain point/deep tissue work. He’s skilled at both. Very professional and seeks to understand exactly what you’re looking for out of your massage. Highly recommend!

Gigi Jihyun Kim

I am a serious rock climber and my upper body occasionally suffers from overworking. Earlier this year, I've injured my fingers during climbing, which is still persistent. I went through a forearm session with Taylor and am AMAZED how I feel much more comfortable with my injury. Taylor is very knowledgeable with respect to human body and the muscles susceptible to athletic wear and also really great in explaining them along with the methods he uses. I definitely recommend Taylor for all the athletes out there whether looking for general relief or needing for injury therapy. Thumbs up!

Mark Fredrickson

After enjoying a chair massage during the Ballard Farmers Market back in April, I have become a regular client at Level Up. Tayler is an excellent massage therapist and is helping me resolve several nagging issues with my shoulders and lower back. His two hour sessions with cupping are his masterpiece and not to be missed! Highly recommend visiting Tayler and seeing for yourself.

Casey Anderson

I found out about Tayler when he came to my workplace for staff appreciation week in April 2019. Since then, I have been getting regular massages with Tayler about once per month. I can definitely say Tayler has helped me tremendously and he is constantly improving his craft! If you are looking for an awesome massage therapist, look no further! I drive from Renton and it is WELL worth the drive every time.

Rosita Barlow

I've been with Tayler for three years now and highly recommend him. Tayler's curiosity for how the body functions, moves, operates allows him to be really thoughtful and specific to the care he provides. I'm also a fan of the way I awkwardly tell him what's wrong and he'll ask a couple of questions then know exactly what needs to be worked on. Support small businesses. Book an appointment with him now!

Amy Dullard

Tayler fixed a terrible pinched nerve in my upper back that had me in so much pain. He was very knowledgeable about the muscles and nerves involved with my pain and I left feeling so much better. I also really appreciate the ability to schedule online. Highly recommended.

Petra Allen

I've been going to massage therapists and chiropractors with this same pain in my shoulder/blade for about 2-3 years. Tayler has been the only one to actually know what's going on, explain to me why and how this happened/can be solved, and he has been the only one to actually fix the problem. While I've only been to him once so far, I have been able to fully move my shoulder, and have all that tension release when I relax my shoulder (so it sits normal, and not caught on another muscle). I can't wait until my body heals some so I can go back for follow-up treatment! He is very reasonable with his prices, and I 100% believe that his prices are definitely worth the service!! *Remember, you get what you pay for and Tayler is now turning me into the Futurama Fry meme of "shut up and take my money". Please book him as soon as you can, I promise he is amazing!

Morgan Chesmore

I've gone to see Taylor a couple of times and even in this short span he has already made a huge difference in reducing my back pain. The experience feels very customized to my specific needs. He always takes the time to explain things to me and make sure I am comfortable at all times. I appreciate that he teaches me stretches i can use at home. I won't go to anyone else!

Min Sun Kim

Major props to Tayler being able to squeeze me in right before the holidays. I'd been experiencing worsening pain and tightness in my right knee/leg. It was my first time receiving full body work, and he took the time to explain his process, and made sure he understood my level of comfort. He used a combo of massage, cupping, and gua sha, and continued to make sure that I felt comfortable and safe throughout the session. He also taped my knee bc I was pretty concerned about it. Due to his work and the taping, I was able to get through several days of holiday sightseeing with my family on foot with no pain. Tayler even sent a reminder to me about when to remove the tape, and my knee and leg continue to feel better daily. I can't wait to schedule another session!

Stephen Mok

Tayler is great! He's super committed to his practice and I bet much appreciate how much he cares about getting you better. This isn't your "relaxation" massage you get off of Groupon, this is precision care and expertise to break up scar tissue and get muscles feeling healthy again. I would HIGHLY recommend committing to multiple sessions, because I've seen much more value out of the subsequent sessions, now that we've gotten through the surface-level issues. Put that HSA to good use!

Scott Jarvis

Tayler is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. I felt noticeably better in the particular problem areas he worked on during our time which is something I haven’t experienced from other therapists. 10/10 would recommend!

Quinn Safaie

Taylers extensive knowledge and practice have helped me along the process of healing my shoulder greatly! He is also constantly updating his arsenal of tools to use (so fun!) to give my body the rest it needs. Every time we meet up he teaches me entirely new things and I walk away knowing the experience was worth it!

Maris Brooks

Tayler is an amazingly gifted massage therapist. I went to him with arm pain & numbing, and within the first 20 minutes, the numbness & pain in my arm was gone! I was totally amazed. If you're hurting and looking to get fixed, tayler is your guy!

Jeffrey Myre

I have been a massage therapist for almost six years and appreciate when other people understand massage as craft for wellness rather than a band-aid. Tayler is knowledgeable and always looking to learn more, he meets you where you are at and is a great listener. I can attest to it because I got a two hour (highly recommended by the way) and all my fascia felt like warm taffy!

Amber Robinson

Tayler’s approach to injury treatment is one of a kind. The execution of his massage is clearly from an educated view point. He communicates thoroughly and incorporates multiple modalities to achieve stellar results. I left my treatment of a rotator cuff injury after only half an hour with increased range of motion and decreased pain. I highly recommend Tayler.

Jason Abbey, PhD LMT CCT

I'm an LMT of 16 years in the Seattle and I've received a few treatments from Tayler over the past couple months and I have to say if I was able to give him 10 stars, I would! Tayler is a talented, efficient, and an intuitive therapist. He offers a wide verity of techniques that have helped me tremendously. He offers Massage Cupping, Gua Sha, Stellar Deep Tissue, and an overall competent approach to bodywork. I highly recommend Level Up Massage for folks that are looking for a blend of relaxation and treatment work from an ALL-STAR LMT! I will be rebooking soon.

Lance Lockett

Tayler is one of the best massage therapists I've had in my 30 years of getting massages. I've worked with him for probably 3 years now and recommended him to many friends, all equally thrilled with the results. Tayler will adapt each session to your needs for the day and has a wide range of tools (cupping, theragun, aromatherapy, etc.) to round out the massage to get the most value out of your time there. He's very effective at focusing on areas that need attention and checks in both during and after the massage to make sure the issues you came in for are being addressed to your liking. I also tell friends that he is more on the "physical therapy" end of the spectrum of massage and will really help ease tension, knots, tightness at a level that goes beyond just a "relaxation" massage. He's professional, friendly, and one of the best at what he does. I highly recommend him.

Brian Prince

Great massage! Tayler really knows the body and takes the time to feel out where the problem is. He creates a very safe and relaxing atmosphere and I left feeling a kind of relaxed I hadn’t been in a while. Highly recommend!

melinda lee

Intraoral massage for jaw pain (TMJ) is what I researched and I found Taylor at level up. His technique is skilled and medically knowledgeable. He discusses his procedure before hands on so you know what to expect. Taylor knows his stuff! Go see him! Mindi Lee

Ruthford Stephens

So it's taken me a while to post a comment on how crazy amazing Tayler is at his job. I've been seeing him for at least 7 to 8 months and in preperation for the Olympic year. As a athlete, its very important that I have not a good massage therapist, but a GREAT MASSAGE THERAPIST and Level up Massage, (Tayler) is just that, a GREAT MASSAGE THERAPIST. He is most definitely apart of my training and consider his craft a must every week. I will be honest, if I didnt have his help, I'd be a broken body and know for a fact I couldn't get my training done for up coming races. And more importantly, the up coming 2020 Olympic year! Thank you Tayler!!

Chris Parker

I’ve been trying to find a massage therapist for years because I’ve had too many that doesnt apply enough pressure. In Tayler, found someone that can and so much more. He is super friendly, advocates for your self care and gives you exercise after each session. He also has a deep understanding of muscles as a system in that the problem area isn’t always the core of the problem. He finds the area the origin and uses unique tools and placements to alleviate them. I recommend him to all my friends and with my office job and HIIT regimine, my body has never felt better.

Carly Lewis

I receive massages once or twice per month through a corporate style massage company. I have chronic pain related to scoliosis, as well as leading a very active lifestyle (hiking, climbing, etc.). I received a massage from Tayler about a month ago and it was bar none the best massage I’ve ever had. I’m extremely particular/nervous when it comes to my back, because of my spinal curvature. Tayler talked me through what he was doing every step of the way, and it made the entire experience so much more comfortable. He was able to explain his rationales on an anatomical level, and would check in with me to make sure that I understood and was okay with what he was saying before moving forward with anything. He included me in the massage in a way that truly made it feel like a personalized experience; I 110% recommend him if you’re looking for a quality massage! (And if you’re not looking for a massage you should get one from him anyways because it will change your mind about massages).

Ashley Stoddard

Tayler fit me in when I was having a rough day and helped me feel SO much better in a brief 30 minutes. He’s professional, easy going, and found all the pain points immediately. I will definitely be coming back!

Vong Ly

I'm a BJJ practitioner and have a lot of nagging injuries - I'm always looking for a reasonably priced massage therapist for regular maintenance. Tayler has been able to help treat a glute-hip-knee issue I've had for the past 2 years in just a few sessions. I definitely plan on working with Tayler in the future.

Michelle Hinojosa

Tayler is an extremely knowledgeable and competent massage therapist but this is just extra compared to his down-to-earth and kindhearted nature. His cupping work has proven to be very effective. Cupping really is his specialty! It's as if it comes naturally to him. I will be going back for that and gua sha for sure!

Cornerstone Insurance Group

This is your place to go for massage therapy! Taylor is super detailed & efficient maximizing your therapy time with hands on & cupping! I also experience TMJ (grinding/clamping of jaw while sleeping) and he can also do massage work to relieve this tightness. It’s amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rose Fei Guo

Tyler is passionate about helping people. I have been struggling with back pain for a while, and a couple go days after my first session with Tyler, I felt so much better! Give Tyler a try and you will know!

Brad Beggs

I’ve had limited range of motion in my right knee compared to my left. Taylor had me do about two minutes of foam rolling on the right quad and then we compared the range of motion again. While the rolling felt awkward (love those knots), I was dumbfounded that the range bow almost matches my left knee.

marcus mckenzie

I went to Taylor to have a relaxing 90 min massage well that was not the case as he started on my back he noticed lots of areas that needed much attention. He is great at what he does and is very knowledgeable about the body highly recommend him.

Raven Williams

I ABSOLUTELY ❤ this place of business! I was searching for a place to receive a simple massage and I stumbled across this place by accident. I made an appointment and my session turned out to be better than what I was expecting. He focuses on deep tissue and lighter pressure if preferred. He provides gua sha and cupping which helps with blood flow. I was also having issues with leg cramps. He is currently helping my calf muscles to relax. Now when i walk, my calves feel so much smoother. My muscles has been more relaxed and I'm much more flexible since I've been utilizing his services. The severe tension i was facing has gone down an abundance. Every part of the body he works on feels SOOOOOOOO AMAZING!!! He is extremely professional, very kind and knowledgeable. As he goes along working on each pressure point, he explains what he is doing and why. He answers any questions without hesitation. I've been utilizing his services for 3 weeks now and I already have my next appointment booked. Please make an appointment with him. You will NOT be disappointed!

Seage H Moss

Taylor is fantastic! He has a welcoming energy and listened to my concerns. His recommendation was ghu sha and intraoral work for my tight neck and jaw.. it was amazing, I felt immediate relief. I will be returning and will be recommending!

Mandy Cummins

Tayler is a talented massage therapist who is professional, effective and absolutely loves what he does. If you're looking for treatment work from a passionate therapist, I'd highly recommend him.

Willow Rose

Taylor is very experienced and used cupping and deep tissue modalities to help relieve my shoulder and arm pain. I highly recommend his work!

Taylor Gananian

Tayler was a great massage therapist! He walked me through the entire process and was very helpful and communicative about cupping, one of the services offered. I would definitely recommend!

Jacklien Ryker

This man knows his way around a body!! I had a phenomenal massage! All my pain places were addressed, my voice was heard and I'm not even sore. Highly intuitive to pressure and tolerance. A rare therapist indeed! A MUST SEE!

Theodore Vaskevitch

Been seeing Taylor for a few years now, i’m super active and get a lot of bodywork so I can say with confidence that he’s one of (if not THE) best in the area for deep tissue and corrective work.

Ayrielle Jones

Tayler is very treatment focused, is good at communicating and planning your session around your problem areas. He is very attentive and will answer any questions you may have.

Katrina Hudson

The most AMAZING massage and cupping experience EVER!!! I went here because it was recommended by a good friend of mine. The past few weeks i have been super stressed. Tayler listened to what I needed and hdelivered!! 10 out of 10 recommend.

Jeffrey Pelletier

Tayler is an excellent massage therapist. Professional, great with questions and feedback, and prompt. Highly recommended.

Cinnabunny

Taylor’s massage work is bomb! It was very effective and he’s knowledgeable about his techniques and the muscles. 10/10 revisit.

Benjamin Garza (Benji)

I have to say, this was just what I needed! The cupping was highly effective and perfectly targeted for maximum release of tension in my problem areas. I felt more mobility and fluidity of movement after the session was done without a doubt. I would highly recommend Level Up Massage to active persons seeking effective maintenance to their bodies.

Larry Anderson

Very professional. Taylor worked the source of my issues with also treating the symptoms all at the same time. Fantastic massage. Highly recommend.

Kate Thompson

I just started going to Tayler for bad hip pain and am so pleased after two therapy sessions. I look forward to progressing further. He’s great!

Lauren Reed

By far the best massage I have ever received. Taylor’s technique gets deep into muscles and provides so much relief.

Mollie LI

I just had to share this incredible experience I had with Tayler's massage. I suffer from TMJ disorder and decided to give Tayler's massage a try. However, after my massage with him two days ago, not only did the muscle soreness disappear, but even my bite felt more comfortable! It was like magic! I am definitely going to seek out Tayler's services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a massage therapist.
