Reviews of Back in Health Massage

Laurette Moore

Mike was very knowledgeable and friendly for my first massage session. He made me feel comfortable and he did ask me several times if I was comfortable and for permission to proceed. I would recommend him to Anyone that needs a deep and intense massage (he does many different types of massages). I went for relief of pain not to feel more relaxed.

autumn Mckenzie

Fantastic experience! I’m always able to get an appt. When needed and Michael is easy to work with. I suffer from acute migraines with many triggers. Stress and tension being a big one. While my migraines aren’t cured, since starting therapy they have greatly reduced in frequency and duration. The type of massage I can receive here actually provides medical benefit and his knowledge of the muscular system and how everything works together has been very beneficial in providing me some relief from a very debilitating issue.

Kathleen Dunn

Michael is very professional, knowledgeable and an excellent massage therapist. He accommodated my last minute request for an appointment, I walked in with pain and left feeling better than I have in years. I highly recommend him!

Michelle Garner

Mike has made my life better with his focused massages for my back and hips. As a nurse who is in chronic pain, he has been able to help keep me working during these very hard and stressful days. Mike has been a huge lifesaver for me. Very professional and the best hands for working out knots

Lisa Swilley

Had a massage today with Michael and it was just what was needed! His anterior massage was professional and I would recommend it as it really helped with my hip and neck pain. Great pain relief through massage.

Taylor Howard

Mike is excellent!! He’s a pro at what he does and knows lots of stretches and other massage techniques to work knotted muscles. You can tell me has a real passion for this work and loves his job. Note that this tends to be more of a sports/health massage than a spa massage- either way, you won’t regret going here!!!

Peggy Stone

Michael is very professional and respectful of his clients. The best massage I've every had. He ensured that I was comfortable and explained everything he was doing. Could not have asked for a better experience. Definitely making massage a part of my routine.

Shoshaana C

I had my first massage with Mike this past month after experiencing some pretty bad low back issues from L5 S1and the tightness was causing more pain. Mike not only worked out the tightness but also taught me some stretches that were important to keeping my low back from tightening up again. I appreciate his expertise and the way he talks through everything.

Sherry v

Michael is an absolute GEM! I’m an Indian woman who has had bad back aches since I was a teenager. Accompanied by a delivery and running behind a toddler, I have found my aches have increased throughout my body through the years. Mind you, I have been to so many massages around the world but those were more of spas and although they gave me momentary comfort with the aromatic oils, ambience and music, almost immediately I felt my aches come back. I got to see Michael’s reviews and I just knew he wasn’t the conventional massage therapist and I was absolutely right! He spent such great amount of time providing me details of why I experience back, shoulder and neck pains, even by giving me simple illustrative breakdown of what happens to muscles, nerves and bones! Who does that?! The massage was perfect, I wanted to cry because of how much relief I felt after. If you are seriously looking for a great massage to your aches that you have been experiencing recently or in the past, Michael is your man. He is respectful, professional and will bring your body back to feeling normal.

Molly Fran

Great experience! Very knowledgeable and great service. I felt very comfortable with the massage. The interior work helped a lot and I’m feeling a million times better, very sore the next few days but that’s never a bad thing!

Kiersten Castellano

I had my very first massage with Michael last Saturday, April 28th, and all I have to say is WOW!! I immediately felt relief with areas of my body that suffer due to a job I have requiring repetitive motion. Michael is not only well versed in therapeutic massage, but also has knowledge pertaining to the different techniques especially suited for individual needs. His prices are outstanding and he truly cares for his clients well being. I highly recommend him if you want results.

Sarah Bernard

I've been getting massages for years and never had a great outcome, but Micheal knew exaxtly what muscles I wanted targeted. He made me feel so comfortable and relaxed, even during the anterior massaging, which can be awkward and intense at times, but not with him. I feel absolutely amazing. After every session I can finally move my neck and hips, and back. His massages are a gamer changer! I will never go back to another massage therapist again. I am 100% satisfied everytime!!

Christopher Witrak

Michael is an excellent massage therapist, and he thoroughly explains everything he will do in a way that's easy to understand. He also goes above and beyond, and during my first session, he spent an extra hour working on areas that have been troublesome for me. The whole experience is very comfortable, and he's also just fun to talk to. Highly recommended

Leslie M

I’ve had several massages, and always feel a bit awkward. Michael not only put me at ease but worked out the tension in my back in a way that I have never had before! I slept better that night than I had in a long time, it was amazing! Thanks, Michael, for being awesome! I can’t wait for my next massage!

Brooks Olney

I had a great experience here. Michael is clearly very experienced and was very helpful and easy to talk with. I had an hour long massage which targeted very longstanding lower back pain, which felt great. He educated me on certain stretches that I should perform each day in order to target this lower back pain which was super helpful. For someone like me who will basically be confined to a desk for the rest of his adult life, this will be very useful to me and I look forward to potentially coming back to Michael in the future. I would strongly recommend him.

Tiffany Hitz

I had a feeling when I hit Michael's website that he would deliver the therapeutic experience that I was expecting. I visited him with the expectation that he would apply his knowledge of anatomy to helping me center and re-balance myself. Upon meeting Michael, he asked me why I came, he listened and repeated back to me, he used medical terminology as well as layman's terms to explain how he intended to proceed, and then he delivered what I wanted as well as what he stated he would deliver. He was attentive, responsive, and fastidious. Thank you, Michael!

Anna H

Had my very first massage here and it was wonderful. Michael knows his craft and this becomes evident when he pays special attention to the parts of you that need the most attention. He is very respectful and communicates all his actions to his clients which creates a very trusting and calming atmosphere. If you need a massage, I definitely recommend you give Back in Health in a try!

Midge Lee

I went to Michael for upper back, neck and TMJD pain. I had a forward head posture and difficulty pulling my shoulders back to fix my rounded shoulders. Years of working a stressful job in healthcare with long hours bent over at odd angles, along with staring at computer screens, had only exacerbated my issues. Michael was quick to explain his strategy for how to alleviate my problems long term, which included massage, specific exercises called "active isolation stretching", and exercises to strengthen my upper back. He also suggested I needed to massage the anterior aspect of my pecs, which most masseuses don't offer due to the sensitive nature of the region. He was informative and professional as he explained the anatomical benefits of receiving bodywork on pecs in order to allow the shoulders sit back more naturally. After a two hour massage, I had more range of motion in my upper back than I have had in a long time. I highly recommend Michael for his informative, detailed, and holistic approach to treating the body.

Shiane Hemsley

I just had my first appointment with Michael today and it was an amazing experience. He did an amazing job at making me feel at ease and comfortable. He went above and beyond a typical and normal massage to get to the root of my shoulder and neck problems.....even explaining to me why my pain existed. I came today feeling sore and stiff and left feeling less sore , with better mobility in my neck and super soft skin thanks to the all natural coconut oil he used. I will be making another appointment soon. 😃

Lisa Culberson

Michael was great! I told him I had knots in my shoulders and he knew exactly what to do. He showed me on a chart all of the muscles involved in shoulder stiffness - many more than just in the shoulders. He definitely knows his anatomy. After a thorough explanation, the massage began. I could feel the knots has he worked on them. The next day, much less stiffness. I am very glad I went to Back in Health.

M Blair

My massage with Michael was awesome! I had a spinal fracture a year ago and had lots of knots and tension between my neck and shoulders from being in a brace. Michael walked me though all the areas that were causing me issues, naming and pointing out each muscle and how it connects - he is very thorough. He spent a hour working on my problem spots, talking me though the harder parts. I was also given stretches to work on at home. I walked out feeling great and already schedule my second appointment!

Loran Tripp Jarrett

Michael gives an incredible massage! I have had many massages over the years, but Michael is the 1st EVER to really work some o the knots out. He has his own technique which he calls the "signature massage" which I would highly recommend. I have now been going to him twice a month for over a year and it is one of the best choices I have made. You can actually SEE a difference in my shoulders and how they relax.

Tavin Crawford

Went to see Michael yesterday as I was experiencing neck pain — which I presumed was from sleeping wrong. Michael gave a very technical explanation of the pain I was experiencing and helped me understand it was mostly attributable to working in a typing + awkward neck to-the-side position for hours daily. I received a 90 minute massage and noticed immediate relief. Mike is very knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled. The reviews are real. See for yourself.

Rachel Birnbaum

I came in to back in health massage in severe pain with very little understanding as to why or how I developed it. After 90 minutes with Michael I left extremely knowledgeable about the aches and pains I was experiencing. He took the time to not only make me feel better during my session, but to explain and demonstrate ways I can stretch and move to feel better all the time. It was an overall fantastic experience and I will definitely be going back for more massages!

Mikaela Aceves

I have only had a few massages before, but this one was by far the best! I have moderate scoliosis and work at a desk 45 hours a week, so the tension in my neck and back is almost unbearable at times. Michael was very thorough and effective with his techniques. He applies enough pressure to truly relieve the pain and stress without the massage being painful or uncomfortable. I even found myself falling asleep at one point. Michael is a very respectful and professional masseuse who offers amazing quality and value. He understands the value of customer relations and made an effort to get to know me and my needs in order to offer the best experience possible. I booked my next massage without hesitation before leaving and I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a great massage :)

Morgan Flarity

By far the best massage I've ever received. Michael is so knowledgeable about the body that he can truly correct the issues you came in with. This isn't a massage for the faint hearted either. Be prepeared to have some knots and tightness meet their match. Michael is very professional, clean office and listens to you. No two sessions are ever the same. I highly recommend

Devonna Ballard

I went to Michael yesterday for a lot of upper back and low neck pain due to sitting at a desk all day. Everything was explained very thoroughly as to what would be done. After my session I felt so much better and have so much relief from being stiff and tight all the time. I will definitely be coming back in the near future for some more trigger point therapy. Thanks again Michael, you were awesome.

Charlotte Kalish

I just went to Michael for the first time,after he was highly recommended to me by a close friend. He certainly didn't disappoint and was extremely knowledgeable about the muscular anatomy. He ask me about my medical history and listened carefully as l shared my concerns. During the deep tissue massage and stretching exercises he explained to me exactly what he was doing and why.He went over exercises that l could do at home and had me do them with him and then alone, to make sure my form was right. He was excellent and l could feel a difference the first time. He was also ,so professional and yet truly relatable. In this vast field of message therapists Michael is a gem and l will be going to him for a long time to come - he is amazing!

Elizabeth Llanares

I never had a massage before, but I can tell you that Michael is very knowledge on what he does. He really knows what he is doing and saying , with a simple question he already knew what I was looking on my massage.I wish I could go with him every week. Great , Great!!! no doubts , definitely coming back

Jack

Michael is by far the best masseuse in the Tampa area. I have been to nearly every massage place in Tampa and he is the most knowledgeable masseuse that I have ever visited. He takes the time to really understand what kind of massage you want. Whether you're looking for someone to give you relief from your knots or you're an athlete wanting to learn more about your bodies strengths and weaknesses, Michael is the guy for you.

Austin Aletriz

Michael is truly the best therapist in the Tampa Bay Area! Addressed all concerns and gave thorough explanation throughout the 2 hour manage as well as recommendations. Realigned my shoulders and addressed every complaint I had prior to coming in. Highly recommend!!

Sally Serralles

Michael knows what he’s doing. I have back issues. Went in today with low back pain and upon getting off the massage table said” wow my back feels great”. I was looking for someone that could do trigger point therapy and he fit the bill perfectly. Highly recommend him.

Liz Potts

Michael is a top notch LMT! He listens, discusses your aches and pains and what options would be best and goes to work. He is reasonable, has great hours. I highly recommend Michael for your nest massage.

David Thomas

GREAT massage, very relaxing! Michael was professional, friendly, and extremely skilled. He could tell my problem areas before I ever said I word. I like to talk, and the conversation was great, but if you like silence, he also made it very easy to ask for it if you want. The experience was easy going from start to end, I highly recommend.

Karen B Sq

My husband and I both go to Michael for massages. He has exceeded our expectations and we have found him to be a caring and highly trained professional. I came to Michael because, as musician, I wanted help in loosening my shoulder and back muscles. However, I have had an unexpected benefit. I have suffered with stiffness and discomfort due to a mastectomy and reconstruction surgery. Michale has significantly relieved all of these. His massages work!

Paloma

I've been going to Michael for massages for months now. He is the most knowledgeable massage therapist I have ever gone and I've gone to many before finally establishing myself here. The reason why knowledge on the human body is so important is that he correctly targets each muscle as it natural contours along the body. I myself am a medical student very well versed in the human body as my studies require this and let me say he knows what he's talking about and what he is doing. I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking to truly improve their muscle pathology with someone who is an expert at what he does!

Millie DePallo

Trust me, Michael is everything you could want in a massage therapist. I left my last session feeling really limber and relaxed and went home to sign up for a package. He is skillful, knowledgeable, very personable and is obviously very experienced. It seems he has an intuitive reading of what my body really required to loosen things up. He has a variety of different techniques that he uses to maximize the massage, including stretching and neuromuscular, which I think I really benefit from. Plus, he offers good solid information if you have any questions about what he is doing and why. You will not be disappointed.

A-Rae

What a relaxing & relieving experience from stress & pain. I HIGHLY recommend him. He has magic hands I told him ☺️ Michael gives above & beyond a normal massage compared to what I've had over the years at spas, chiropractors & massage envy. His extensive training in many additional areas like Mattes Method compared to a standard massage therapist really shows in his massage & my outcome. He is very thorough in assessing my needs like past injuries, & areas of pain I need relief. He's so well trained & passionate about his profession that he has an expert eye to just see by my walk & stand too. He is very professional & speaks in terms I could understand with pictures & explanations so I felt I was a part of it & learned why my body is in pain & things I can do myself after to help the process of muscle pain relief. You will not find a more knowledgable or skilled massage therapist around. Few do the dedicated extent of training & have worked with top Dr Mattes! It's more than a massage it's an amazing experience for your body! Thank you to Michael I feel great & will be returning!

Natalie Van Beek

Michael came highly recommended by a friend who is quite discerning, in the realm of massage. Michael was very professional, his technique very good, and his knowledge apparent. As he is working on his doctorate in physical therapy, he brings added knowledge to his practice. As a nurse, and veteran of many deep- tissue massages over the course of my life, I believe I am well-qualified to pass judgement on the quality of a massage and the depth of knowledge of the practitioner. Michael did not disappoint, and after the massage explained and demonstrated some stretches that would benefit my condition. Not only did he demonstrate the stretches, but had me do them to ensure that my form was correct. He also explained that the first massage was a case of him getting to know my body, and also that he was talking and explaining things during the massage for the purposes of clarification. He went on to say that at my next massage, I would be able to request silence if so desired, and that subsequent massages would be less painful, as we addressed the magnitude of my issues. Do yourself a favor and have a massage with Michael.

Lisa Demmi

Michael is an exceptional practitioner. I recently had a stretching/ massage session with him and feel better after one session than I have in sometime. He performed an analysis on me prior to doing an work and then guided me through the entire session taking time to explain what and why he was doing anything. I trust him implicitly and know that with his help, I ll be running again without pain!

S. Morgan

I had been searching for the last 6 months for an LMT who specializes in what I am currently experiencing. Michael is the best…He not only put me at ease, he explained everything as well so that I now know why certain regions of my body feel like they do.

Sandra Duenas

Michael is extremely talented in providing a complete deep tissue massage by first explaining how he will do the massage to address the issues one has. He then gives an organized and well paced massage that completely addresses all the issues explained. He is professional and his location is very clean and extremely pleasant.

Gnyana Praneeth Rachapalli

This place is very good. Mike is very good at what he does and was able to really open up my body. He incorporated cupping and stretching techniques which really helped a lot. I felt great and was primed for the tournament that I was going to play. He really knows his stuff and has the muscle to work on your body. I will definitely go back here. The place has ample parking.

jquatman53

Mike gives the best massage I've had in a long time! He is very knowledgeable and really wants to help you feel better!

Mona Howard

Absolutely excellent! Michael first concentrated on my massage needs so he could focus on these points during the massage. He offered an indepth explanation so I could fully understand the process and the benefits. I would refer to his services to anyone I know! You won't be disappointed!

Jen Wing

I appreciate Michael's knowledge and experience, and his approach to therapeutic massage! The anterior work he has done on me has provided pain relief for my back, hips and shoulders!

Laura Wallace

After relocating to a new apartment I was so sore I could hardly move, every muscle ached. The massage therapist I used before the move was now over 25-miles away. I pulled up a list of service providers located in my new area and started calling. There were so many "unprofessional" therapists on the list, I started to feel a bit desperate; until I connected with Michael. I felt so lucky that I found him and he was able to accommodate my scheduling needs so I could get the help I needed. I can say that of all the massages I have received over the years, nothing compares to the incredible massage I got that night. I like a deep massage, but not with "elbows" poking me; all that does is leave a lot of tender spots. Michael has hands of gold, smooth as butter, and he understands the parts of the body and how to manipulate them with his hands. I left his office able to move, ready to face the unpacking process and reenergized. If you want to experience professionalism, full relaxation, and of course have a fantastic massage go see Michael. I promise you won't be disappointed.

George B

I've been utilizing Groupon to try different massage experiences. "Back in Health" has been one of the best. What I've been looking for is someone that is knowledgeable in delivering a deep tissue massage. I recently had surgery on my neck and finding some one who "knows" the interaction of different muscles is a challenge. Finding Michael was a home run. If you're looking for a GREAT massage - give Michael a try. You won't be disappointed. Some places will give you mineral water, pipe in soft music, etc but what really matters to me is the massage and "Back in Health" delivers on this as good as anyone that I have tried so far. Writing this review - I think I just talked myself into another massage from Michael.

Sliding Door Roller Replacement

Amazing Massage! Michael is very knowledgable and took an extra hour to explain everything to me to make sure i felt comfortable. I was so relaxed and feel amazing after i had it done today. I highly recommend him as a massage therapist. You will NOT be disappointed. I am glad I found someone so good that i can actually say "is worth the money" and his prices are so reasonable.

Tory B.

I am a physical therapist and use massage and manual techniques everyday so I can be a tough critic when it comes to massages. Michael gave the exact massage I requested, with very deep pressure and emphasis to the areas I indicated. He is professional and very good at his job. He is pleasant and interesting to talk to, but not too talkative when you want to just enjoy the massage. I came to meet him through use of a groupon and he allowed me to use it after it had expired. He was very accommodating and his customer service is beyond reproach!

Shannon Welsh

If you are looking for a fantastic and thorough massage then you will enjoy a massage by Michael. He is very friendly and welcoming. The pressure was perfect throughout the entire massage and he spends time on every area. I definitely recommend him.

Kelli Lefstead

Michael is amazing! I felt incredible after my massage and stretching. I've suffered from back and hip pain for 10 years. I just assumed I'd have to live with the pain. He gave me hope after just one session. Go check him out. I'm positive he'll make you feel better too!

Sue Greene

I first met Michael during Physical Therapy for my shoulder and had never had a massage before. After rotator cup surgery the best part of physical therapy was the massage! That was 5 years ago and although my shoulder has been healed a long time, I would not give up my massage with Michael at BackinHealth massage. Not only are the sessions invaluable for physical benefits especially after working out, the stress relief is the best part of my week. My work really takes its toll mentally and emotionally – the deep tissue massage Michael provides is so very important. I would highly recommend Michael and BackinHealth massage both personally and professionally!

Selina Radlein

Michael is very knowledgeable about the musculoskeletal system. He aims to relieve chronic discomfort by providing targeted therapy. I have never met a massage therapist more concerned with my overall improvement. With such expertise, I am surprised he offers the best rates in Tampa.

Nando Bernal

Had a really good experience at ‘back in health massage’ with Michael, he is very experienced And processional would highly recommend. Went to him for some knee pain and made me feel a lot better. Am looking forward to visiting him again soon! Btw the suction cup thing he does to get the knots out worked great for me

Kristine Appel

I've been going to Back in Health Massage for over a year. I have tried other places with Groupons or other deals but no one else compares for several reason: Michael has great hours, I see the same person every time that knows and understands my chronic health issues which is important to me, the Back in Health Massage club price and the club specials are a great value and he gives an awesome deep tissue massage for my full appointment time. Michael is passionate about massage therapy and his business and I’m glad he is.

Sue Christopoulos

My daughter referred me to Back in Health Massage, because she knows how picky I am about getting a good massage. She knew what she was doing, because Michael is by far the best massage therapist I've ever met. I highly recommend his 2-hour massage as well as his monthly massage program.

Beth Ash

This isn't your grandmother's massage. If you're in need of a serious massage by an expert masseuse, this is the only place to go. Mike is a master of his craft and it's apparent as soon as you walk in the door. His knowledge is thorough, commanding and impressive. He knows more about your anatomy than any massage therapist I've ever seen. Hands down the best and most effective massage I've ever had. It was like a great trip to the chiropractor combined with a complete stress-releasing massage. I highly recommend the Active Isolated Stretching combined with a 90 minute massage. You will not be disappointed. In fact, it will blow your mind. You won't ever want to leave. Give it a try.

CEB Bolt

Michael is an expert masseuse. This was my first visit, but will continue to schedule visits and confident I will benefit from his massage therapy. I was on a search for a masseuse that provides deep tissue massage, and was fortunate to have found him. Thank you Michael!

Thereasa Nickelson

I had my massage on Monday with Michael. I came to him in pain, I had a spinal cord injury in January and I’ve been building my muscles back and working on my endurance so I’m usually very stiff and sore. The last three days I’ve had ZERO pain, which makes me so happy since I have RSD and have had chronic pain. I will definitely be returning for another massage!

wayne salas

I have been getting massages for a couple years now. I have been the best thing I can do to treat myself, I have little to no tension my posture is be than ever. As an athlete my muscle function more effectively and they dont get exhausted like before. I used to have lower back pain and neck pain I dont anymore. Thank you Michael for you service and I will always continue my service as a massage club member.

Mary Bright

I have scoloisis and have had hundreds of massages over the past 30 years. Michael is probably the best massage therapist I've ever had! He has helped me overcome the neck, shoulder and low back pain that seemed to be getting worse in recent years. I'm very grateful to have found him!

Leesa Crescenzi

I had a wonderful massage...even though I was sore the next day. This is definitely not a relaxation massage. It was very therapeutic and worked out kinks due to stress and repetitive motion. I felt very comfortable that Mike knew what he was doing. He explained what he was working on and how it would relieve the tightness. I definitely intend to return and will recommend Back In Health to anyone who has back/shoulder/neck pain due from tension.

Marnie Paffenroth

Michael, the owner of Back in Health, is one of those very rare gifts you just want to tell the world about! Because of his skills in Physical Therapy, he's so much more than "just a massage therapist". He started our session with a brief, lay-term muscular lesson, explaining why I had this recurring issue (even after getting it under control with PT, etc.). We focused on the problem areas while he also took time to teach me some stretches that are already helping. He has the physical strength to give the pressure I needed, but was also very specific in empowering me to gauge how much I could handle. This is the real deal in deep-tissue healing massage. I would HIGHLY recommend Michael and Back in Health, especially to anyone with an issue or injury.

Aimee Blodgett

Michael is a highly knowledgeable massage therapist. He took the time to listen to my concerns than gave a thorough description of how a deep tissue massage would effect those areas and recommendations for maintaining healthy back, neck and shoulder muscles.

Lilibeth Miranda-Ferrino

Michael Vogt knows his stuff. His relaxation massage equates to more of a deep tissue massage. If you're looking for a massage that goes deep down to knead those sore muscles and knots, Michael is well-versed with the human anatomy and will take the time to explain his services to you. Very knowledgable.

Priti Shukla

Michael is an amazing therapist. He took his time to understand clients need and made sure he was hitting all the right spots of where i had pain. I would definatly have another session with him again. Trust me you won't disappointed. Thank you Michael

Katie Schreiber

What a wonderful experience! Michael was extremely professional, and very helpful at explaining what he was doing and how it would help. He showed me how stretching could really help relieve my neck pain. I've already booked my next appointment.

Makeba Edwards

Thank you for your expertise. I will admit, when I arrived, I was a bit apprehensive at first, as I was booked this online without any knowledge or referrals. All I knew was, I was in pain and I needed relief for my chronic pain and aching muscles. I needed some trigger point therapy, so I booked the soonest available session in the early afternoon. Well, it was worth every bit of the 1.5 hours. Michael was knowledge, and worked diligently to relieve the pain and release the muscle tension in my upper back and neck. At the end the range of motion in my neck improved significantly and pain had gone from about a 7 to a 3. Mind you I am an athletic person so I have a lot of muscle development and tight muscles. Thank you!

Sheryl Davis

Michael had such a vast amount of knowledge about how the body works. He also listened to my medical history and was able to explain to me why my body felt like it has been feeling. I recommend him to everyone hands down, but most specifically athletes. I'd have him on my team in a heartbeat! I will definitely refer anyone I know to him!

Sunny Park

Got a groupon for a company event, IT WAS AMAZING! My coworker and I loved every minute of it!!! We work in the warehouse where we do lots of heavy lifting and body work. Michael explained about troubled areas and he did fantastic job easing our pain that built up for long time! He was very professional!! Highly recommended for everyone. Definitely will go back again!!!

Tim P

The massage was excellent. I haven't had one in quite some time and Michael did a great job. The stretching and advice he gave me was very helpful. I look forward to booking with him again.

Eric Johnson

Mike has a deep and thorough knowledge of musculature and how to fix the problems that come with our everyday abuse of it. I'm big - 6'4"- and Mike is one of the few therapists who has been able to successfully do deep tissue work on me. And notably he will do so without exceeding your allowable discomfort level for deep tissue work. After each session I feel much better, the physical problems that come with my job are much reduced or eliminated for weeks on end. In addition, some of the skeleto-muscular problems I've had for years have progressively improved to the point where they are no longer an issue. I highly recommend Mike to anyone I know.

Kourtney Dotson

I’m going to begin by saying I legit never leave reviews, but Michael was too amazing to not promote. I walked in with some intense back pain and I walked down out feeling much lighter. This guy was so incredibly professional and so attentive to my every need. I will definitely be back. Thank you!

Karen Roeding

When my back, neck and body hurt.....Michael is the one that can relieve all my aches. The deep tissues may hurt some, but I can tell you the next day you feel 100% better! Been going for 10 years or so...always has been great!!!!

Ted R

I treated myself to a relaxing, invigorating, balancing massage with Mike at the Back in Health Massage. You should try it, if you haven't already. Mike knows what he is doing. Just the right technique. I have him mainly work on my calves and thighs to improve circulation. Great job, Thanks Mike

Ron Queeney

Micheal is not your average massage therapist. His understanding of body mechanics is uncanny. When I stood up I realized my pectorals expanded more, allowing fuller breathing capacity. Micheal solved a big problem I did not know I had. Just imagine.

Anne Keckler

After trying several massage therapists in the Tampa Bay area, I was glad to find a place that can give me a true deep tissue massage that works! I've now been coming for five years, at least twice a month, and it really helps me with my fitness and health. I'm a competitive powerlifter, and mother of five. This place has made a huge difference in my ability to perform.

Nicole Bach-Smith

I had an amazing massage. He really takes his time and listens to your needs and concerns and customized a massage that worked best for me. I felt like jelly when it was done. The most relaxed I have ever felt from a massage.

Marilyn Wirsz

I have been going to Michael, monthly for over a year now. Every time I go, I think to myself -this is the best massage I've ever had & I say it again the next month!! His massage club prices are so reasonable & it's worth every penny!

Kristi Collins

Michael is remarkable at helping sore muscles and is generally super-fun to chat with during the massage. Deep or light he knows how to soothe those aching pains... THANKS MICHAEL!

David Boutin

Fantastic massages! Michael really know what he's doing. I'm on my fourth massage in four weeks now and there's no trace of soreness afterwards anymore and I'm feeling as good as I have in years! Thanks!

Karen Lee

Michael has an excellent understanding of muscular anatomy and has the skills and experience to know how to deliver a deep tissue massage that helps undo pain and problems.

Karen Minter

If you want to leave Mike's office feeling brand new, schedule your appointment for a deep massage and enjoy it as I did. I recommend that before you consider going to get a massage from anyone else try Mike first.

Julie Hamil

I can't say enough about how Mike has relieved pain in my shoulders and hips. I'd give 10 stars if i could. He not only gets all the knots out, he also educated me on stretches, and after care, so I can remain pain free.

Candace Smith

Excellent massage!!! I'm appreciate that Michael took the time out to explain why he would be focusing on certain areas. He is highly knowledgeable and skilled! I will be going back.

The monster

I went in for lower back pain that radiated from my spine to my hips and down my right leg. Sometimes I'd get a sharp pain that made me cry out a little. After the massage I felt SO MUCH BETTER!!! I had to stay on the table because I felt kind of euphoric. Once I got up and started moving around the pain had gone from excruciating to a dull ache with no radiation to my hips and down my leg. If I drop something I can pick it up without wincing. I am DEFINITELY going back!!!

Brandon Stecker

I’ve been going to Mike for almost 10 years. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and is always professional and courteous. I’ve followed him from each of his locations and even though it’s a 30 minute drive to get to Back in Health, I refuse to go anywhere else because I know every time it will be worth it.

Janine Crouch

Michael was very knowledgeable and gave me a great massage. Focusing on my neck and shoulders as I needed. I would highly recommend him.

Svitlana Rostun

(Translation) Absolutely glad I found this place. It is the kind of massage that I am always looking for, after which all the muscles are massaged and you feel like a new person. After the first massage, I signed up for a program of one session per month for 90 minutes. The price is very favorable and I do not forget to sign up and do not miss what is important. Plus, Michael even does 3-hour sessions, where he presses every muscle. I highly recommend trying it to understand that this is your massage therapist. (Original) Безумно рада, что нашла это место. Именно тот вид массажа, который я все время ищу, после которого все мышцы промассажированны и чувствуешь себя новым человеком. Я после первого же массажа подписалась на программу одного сеанса в месяц на 90 мин. Цена очень выгодная и я не забываю записаться и не пропускаю, что важно. Плюс Майкл делает даже 3х часовые сеансы, где проминает каждую мышцу. Очень рекомендую попробовать, чтобы понять, что это ваш массажист.

Anna Fotopoulos

(Translation) I would like to thank Mr. Michael Vogt for a very good massage, he knows a lot about the muscles and anatomy of the body, he has been doing it for 14 years, I highly recommend that you try it too. I described what I had a problem with and he knew exactly what to focus on to relieve me. I am active and exercise a lot, his hands are very smooth, I felt much better after the massage. (Czech :))) (Original) Chtela bych podekovat panu Michael Vogt za velmi dobrou masaz, hodne toho vi o svalech a anatomii tela, dela to jiz 14 let, vrele doporucuji, abyste ho vyzkouseli i vy. Popsala jsem, s cim mam problem a on presne vedel, na co se zamerit a tak mi ulevit. Jsem aktivni a dost cvicim, jeho ruce jsou moc sikovne, po masazi mi bylo daleko lepe. (Czech :)))
